Oh and backcountryislife, why not simmons on a M?

They just make the sled harder to pull over, I've got C&a pros on it now & they're the same way (they were free though, so I can't say I'd never do THAT again) Anybody want to buy some C&A pros????

I think the guy that mentioned the black boxx on the m7 meant because it loses power on the 7, just a guess, the snopro style intakes were losers on the 7.

Never again

Let friends talk me into buying a Ski-doo. Lost a hole year of my life trying to clutch something that will never work right without a loan from a bank.

I never again . . .

forget to take off all my mods before taking my sled to a dealer for a blown piston (while still under warranty... LOL)
 
Believe anything I read about aftermarket mods without doing my own testing, Believe anything from anyone who say the M sleds suck and plan a trip without looking at the weather cam and leaving during a blizzard at midnight for a weekend riding trip; "frick'n moose almost ruined our trip".

Things I'll never do again:

Motor swaps from one chassis to another, it takes alot of time and buying another sled would have been cheaper and easier.

Take a newbie out on an epic powder day, I enjoy taking people out on their first ride but last year we took a 1st time rider out riding in 2 1/2 ft of snow and we spent all day getting him unstuck.

Get my wife hooked on sledding. Now I have to buy and maintain 2 sleds :D:beer;

Won't ride behind a Power Claw or flipped Attack 20 on the trail, will measure twice, drill once, won't try and make a snowmobile trailer out of a utility trailer (could have bought one brand new cheaper and done right) Won't follow a new rider on a deep day, won't go without a Muff Pot...

  1. I'll never go back to a 'doo
  2. I'll never go up without my shock pump again

  5. .....and I will never go up the hill without beef jerky!!!:beer;

1.never go from cat to poo bad move but i'm back to cat so it all worked out
2. never ride without goggles on esoically on a sunny day because guide wires are hard to see, and end up costing you money when you tear the whole left side of your sled off after hitting one
3. buy a sled smaller than a 700 for climbing.

And whats wrong with the bike man stuff? for what i've heard it adds a pretty decent amount of hp
