New sled

[SmokinRAM114]

i bought a new 2010 Ski doo Renegade 800r adreneline. Its almost got a 100mi on it now after this weekend. I cannot believe the power this has even at 10%hp decrease due to the 300mi break in period in the ecm. It is one HELL of a step up from the yamaha phazer i had with a wopping 80hp.:punch: I mean the thing goes 0-100 with out touching a ski on the ground even at a 137in track! at 105 the ecm levels out and wont go any faster, might be due to the break in period because its still pulling. I guess 150+ hp will do that. :) I seriously have a smile everytime i clamp the trigger and the thing pulls and pulls!:D

that thing looks awesome

[badass88gt]

My next sled (not that I will ever buy another, have 2 I dont want) would be no shorter that 136". Nice sled!

I almost bought a 136" Switchback but bought my quad instead.

[Crawlin]

I'm with Andy and Coop... I've never ridden a sled, but I can imagine what kinda smile it'd bring me if I ever did ride something like that.

[07ROUSHSTG3]

i rode with a guy a couple years ago that had one of those. they are very nice. that was second on my list of sleds that i wanted. if i hadnt got the sno-pro, there would be one of those in my garage. very nice.

I am very sold on this thing right now, the 137 bridges bumps so well its like riding a lazy boy. It is a little soft for my liking, but i will be putting the race sled suspension under it. I nick named it the 800RRS (Renegade Race Sled) :thumbsup look for a build thread soon

should have been number one! although i do like those cats. for me what sold me is i wanted a long track for off trail in the UP and with 3hp per pound it just sounds like a party. if it was me i would have opted the Cat race sled and lived with premix for a 130hp 600, i hear them little things are wicked tho! my buddy in MN, Rory, works for Christian Borthers as a mechanic for Garth Kaufman. Just seen him over xmas and he was telling me some the trick stuff they do to those Mods.

[badass88gt]

I rode a guy's 144" XP. That thing was crazy how it skipped most of the bumps on our mogul trails.

lol. i am the most anti-off trail person that you have ever seen, even though now that i own such a light sled, i am thinking about maybe trying it a bit more. we will see, i am still fat and don't see the fun in digging my sled out, LOL!

i am also ordering a 720 kit and different gears for next year :headbang. 140 horse is going to be crazy in this thing!!

[Jsho13]

That will be my next sled, and I have been a die hard cat fan

[SmokinRAM114]

[07ROUSHSTG3]

$3500 from speedwerx
$2999 from bikeman
$3000 w/o powervalves from D&D, $3400 for the powervalves from D&D


i would like to do the bikeman kit because their stuff is pretty top notch, but the D&D kit with the powervalves is probably the way that i will go. :thumbsup


we are going up to white pine this weekend. you going to be up there??

i wish that i would get cell phone signal in white pine. i'd say that we should meet up. we usually head up that way. maybe meet for breakfast or something somewhere?!?!

if you like the off trail stuff, if the guy that owns the lodge we are staying at is up, he can take you to heaven in the porkies. he knows all the places to go. might be worth cruising down in the morning. i do not know if he will be up there yet though.

ya that be fun! we are talking about coming south on saturday if the hill climb sucks. they are holding a hillclimb at "BFH" in south range on sat. we were talking about coming down to greenland/mass city and try to get up on the mass bluff. i do not have cell service there either... some of my friends do tho. we are all meeting up tonight to load up ill see what the plan is and post back up on here. the sno pro wont be hard to miss! i havent seen many on the trail. ill be with a group of 7-9 guys depending on the day, some arent staying the whole time.

[07ROUSHSTG3]

sounds great. let me know.

[1BadBytch]

Nice Sled:thumbsup

[Windsors 03 Cobra]

Yes very very nice.

[SmokinRAM114]

sounds great. let me know.

Judging by the weather pattern we will be heading south everyday. I do not know what were doin, tho were heading out with a gps, shovels and no plan:rolf it sounds like for sure saturday were going down to mass. if you guys come up towards south range you will more then likely find us at Coozies bar, Musquito bar, parkview inn in TL or Reussoes bar (sp?) south of TL :thumbsup we generally have to stop at them

[07ROUSHSTG3]

the trails were garbage up there IMO. we ended up spending more time in Hurley then we did on the sleds, LOL!

how was your weekend?

[badass88gt]

Yeah, theyre garbage everywhere, with no snow in sight.

[07ROUSHSTG3]

Yeah, theyre garbage everywhere, with no snow in sight.

according to John Dee, there may be something coming the 23rd-25th. keep your fingers crossed.

[tommyt5078]

I dropped at denoon park SAT and SUN and rode towards dover inn until I got to the JCT spot were u go left to dover and right to Bur / Roch, trail was mint perfect Sat and still very good Sun. It was 16 miles one way so not the best ride but I got out for a little bit.


We do need some snow tho.

[SmokinRAM114]

im leaving south range right now. i have 450mi on the sled now. the trails were rough, tho we rode all of 10mi of trail in the 350mi we put on in the last 4 days. with 3ft of snow pack settled you could just ride straight through the woods. we accomplished connecting two forest roads that never connected by crossing a creek and another creek with some technical down hill and a 5ft ledge drop over one of the creeks to get there, it was pretty intense. i have pics and vids ill post later.

don't count on powder, it's been warm up here in marquette for a while, but there's definitely enough snow up here where a little bit of warm won't do any harm.

its got a 1.25. but a 1.75 on the way n switching to the summit gearing.

by then youll have more snow i bet. especially there where the lake effect kicks in more towards the end of the season

I am a 100% trail guy, but seeing your pics makes me want to buy a long track sled.

for sure, i love it and with the 7" wide Sly Dog skis with 8in bars it handles like a short track. Its a lot of fun when you have or have someone in your group with a GPS. we just headed out and went straight through the woods. We would find and connect all kinds of forest roads.

:durr:durr r u drinking again?

[07ROUSHSTG3]

if anyone is interested, i think that i am going to be heading to my place in tomahawk next friday night. nothing too serious, just log a few miles on saturday, get drunk saturday night, come home on sunday. they are supposed to get a bit of snow/rain/snow this weekend, and it should be enough to make the trails somewhat decent.

[70challenger452]

:durr:durr r u drinking again?

yep , and I'll still kick kick your ass when it comes to the big bay to marquette tails
