Gen 5: clutch side vent lip snaging

[christopher]

COPIED...

If you ride in the tight trees you might want to address this, the clutch side vent has a small lip that sticks out past the side panel that a tree is guaranteed to snag, out of 4 new gen 5s that went riding today 3 of us broke this vent. Just a FYI

No matter how hard I try, I can never get use to seeing new sleds getting bashed through the trees? Thanks for the heads up.

Guess Doo didn’t narrow the side panels enough for you tree huggers!!!

Apparently the tree magnet switch was not deactivated as a factory setting.

When you buy it and pay for it you can strip bark if you want ?extreme vents have a vent for that spot on the site

yes they have the vents for the knee area, but the plastic can not be broken as per their instructions

Wrap the edge with gorilla tape and chive on
the direct cause of to narrow handle bars

I was looking at mine today I might pop it of and dermal the edges. I’d be in the trees with you if my check engine light would stay of long enough lol

… what do you do with your new sleds?

I don't try to ride my 34" wide sled through a 33"hole. The same reason I don't take my $80,000 truck woodcutting. Go figure, I'm just different.

Kind of funny… I see a sled with a couple hundred miles and no scratches, and I think why did that guy even buy that sled, yet I’m meticulous with pickups. I guess I see one as a toy and the other as an asset.

I have way more fun when I don’t worry about what my sled is worth at the end of the ride.

Before your new sled leaves the dealer take your keys and put the first scratch in it. Get that **** out of the way. Toys vs tools

I try to treat everything I own as an asset. Just like I don't drive my boat up on the shore. The boat is also a toy. Always easier to sell something that doesn't look like it fell out of the back of a truck. Trust me I ride in the trees, I just try to avoid them as much as possible I do avoid solid brush though. Again, to each their own.

I don’t see how this is going to fix the lip snagging.

I’ve got a short 60 miles on mine performance wise the sled has way more skills than I do . The power is thick hard to explain you just have to ride one to know the feeling.
