Wyo, you measure results by taking dumps and the feel of your pants......nothing wrong with that, but what if I told you I can also guarantee you 10% performance increase by spending money with my company building you a clutch kit that will rock the stock clutching in your "new, never seen snow before" snowmobile........you gonna believe me without something to back it up?:face-icon-small-dis
One liners like you gave me do not instill confidence, they tell me you know something and you're keeping it from me.(The last post was perfect, your experience, your sled. PERFECT) Nothing against you, you're not marketing these weights, you're just a happy customer. I get that, but you don't help MDS's cause without some data to back up your claims. And if you're simply trying to add your two cents without wanting to get into a big discussion, then tell us your experience and leave the answering of questions to the people doing the marketing. (Seriously, not a slam or a dig in anyway, I rather enjoy and "Thanks" your posts more often than others online.)
Wyo, I also apologize for thinking you ment that backshift was great on the new sled tested. I didn't realize you were talking about your personal sled.:becky:
I appreciate that you guys ride the hills, so do I. But my question was not abnormal to ask. I'm not asking what the seat of your pants tell you on last years models, or your personal sleds, I'm asking what the gains and benefits are on the sled strapped to the dyno right now. The graphs, the numbers, all the information we ask for is sitting on the computer screen in front of you. If you want to come across as the performance leader and all around good guy wanting to "expose" the masses to your product, transparency goes a long way. :face-icon-small-blu
*Again, hoping I'm not coming off strong cause that wasn't the intention, but the whole bait and hook technique is long in the tooth. Consumers aren't buying those sales methods anymore, at least, not like they used to when all they had to go on was your word.
I was there 10 years ago when I tried showing people dyno graphs and explaining how we got the increases we did. All I got back was one liners like, "No way my sled looses 50% power to the track", "stock clutching is optimal, you're bsing us" etc etc. :frusty:
I know the crowd can be hard to reach when they don't know, and can't wrap their heads around something they don't understand.
But, for those of us that do understand what you are saying......a simple, "backshift tests show that optimal RPM is reached in under 3/4's of a second." That would suffice for me, cause I know you guys are on the up and up and wouldn't post unless you are ready to back the product. But before I spend money on "miracle weights" that will gain me 10hp at the track without any other changes, I'm gonna ask these questions.....cause if it's true, you stumbled on something nobody has been able to do in the past.(Or are the weights simply part of a bigger "clutch kit" that is offered? Am I off base, one way or another? Experience tells me that it is a complete kit that will net you the gains you've posted, and not weights alone.)
