  1. BRP has kits for primary clutches. With the Ks on them I would do springs, rollers & pins in the secondary. There is lot of videos on you tube. Just make sure you are watching the right year for your sled. I know the way they lock the pins in the secondary changed over the years. You will also need some clutch tools. A lot of the parts are wear, springs get weak & loose performance or break.& the rollers in the secondary just blow apart.
  2. Dog sledding for the forest is costly & the interest in it is dying. The cost of doing an event is costly and to cancel it at the last minute do to bad weather is worse. The forest has a lot of dogs to look after all year & there is not a lot of interest anymore in these areas. My snowmobile club would donate time to groom the trails for a local dog sled event every year. This did not happen much because it would get canceled a lot do to bad weather. It was canceled more then it was run to the point that the event is now no longer happening. You dont half to worry about snowmobiling in the forest. It will be there for a while. One good thing that is happening is the cookhouse. New people are taking it over. I am hoping it will be better then the last. I know there was a lot of complaints of very long waits & not much choice for a basic lunch. I know paying $55 to ride then spending 2 hours at the cookhouse was the biggest complaint.
  3. I think any online driver training & no time behind the wheel of a boat, sled, groomer or any motorized vehicle is a good thing. When the boating Lic came out they ask me to sign up & they would do it for me. Man I feel safe with that. At least in class training can answer any questions & teacher can go into more details. With grooming I dont think any clubs would put somebody in a groomer after doing the online coarse on there own
  4. I find talking to someone in person seems to get more volunteers. It also helps our permit selling locations get more customers. Now with the permit sales being online, makes it easier on the clubs. no more running around with permits & selling locations dont have to deal with filling out the paperwork
  5. Maybe we should not have on line permit sales, & go back to in class driver training. On line is easier but is hurting clubs when it comes to getting volunteers.
  6. Looks like someone that is new on the ofsc is going by the book. He said that it could be a conflict. The pres can say how much they get paid and how much they can groom. I agree with Nutter that when the dist is desiding on pay on payed posetions that the pres of the club has no vote. So the Dist sets the pay amount and the club groomer cordinator organizes the grooming. so what is the problem
  7. I agree with you. I feel sorry for what the families are going through. It is bad enough they lost someone, and think they should be smart enough to stay off the lakes. Now there gone & this makes snowmobiling look bad. Dont know why, when it is the person behind the sled that makes the bad choice
  8. I hope so. the rail line is staring to look good. But we need colder temps & more snow. A lot of the water on the trails are not freezing up
  9. I will look into that. Thanks

  14. roughly 10.5. Not a lot of driving yet. No high way driving. I am pulling 16x7 pro starr bullet
  15. So far love the new 3.0L DMAX. Trailered to Haliburton forest and back. Not on the highway but a lot of hills & lower speeds. Averaged 12.4L. Can't wait to see what it is like on the highway. Tows awesome. Pulls up hills with out the engine revving over 4 grand like the 5.3L.
  16. 1st thing. It feels great to get behind the wheel of a groomer again. I started packing the rail line section of B103. Not sure when we will start the other trails that is not part of the rail line. We need colder temps to freeze up the water on the other trails. Hopefully the temps will drop soon so we can start packing other trails. Here is some pics from last night
  17. I was running the same truck with the same trailer as Blake. I think we picked up our trailers the same day LOL. I get about 16.4 to 16.7L 100km. I am running 6 speed transmission with 308 gears and find it a bit of a problem on windy & slushy days. It has a hard time holding its speed on a light upgrade. My buddy is running the same truck with 323 gears towing a tritan 167 and he is about the same as me on fuel. We will see how the new truck works. Decided to try the new 3.0L duramax. More torque and at lower rpm. where the 5.3 is less torque but at high rpm. Should work well.
  18. We are at the clubhouse Wed nights at 730. We are looking for help on getting maintenance done to groomers and drags. We have small projects going on also. We also have some bridge work & brushing coming up. If you cant make Wed nights but are interested in helping, send me a message
  19. I will make sure your copy will be stuck to your sled
  20. somebody slipped on the pics. I see a ski doo banner. At least ski doo knows they can build a sled on there own.
  21. it was another great night. lots of work getting done.
  22. I will make sure the skidoo banner is in some future pics. Maybe we should hang it up over the yamaha banner
  23. It was another great night. lots of things getting done.
  24. The drag looks awesome & the groomers are coming along. Can't wait to hit the trails
