  1. Some considerations: 1. Aluminum does oxidize, just much slower than steel does (salt is a challenge though); 2. I have a 2004 Triton Alum which the steel axle is being replaced this week as a precaution ( I think had I done a better job of rinsing the underside each spring and spraying something on the steel axle, (plus 1 year my storage place left it parked on the grass all summer) I likely wouldn't consider replacing it now. Otherwise, the alum is mostly in good shape, except where any steel bolts or screws go thru (again a better rinse and anti-corrosive spray in the spring can go a long way);, 3. Krown is designed for inside channels and spaces (does swell some rubber), does drip (for days); 4. Oil - same a Krown (in my opinion) Here is the 2004 trailer, and the old axle pictures, for you to judge, and make a call. I think if you do a good rinse each year, and target specific areas with a store anti-corrosive spray, you should get 18+ years, like I have. Cheers

  3. Up through North Bay is quick running (pipeline, railbeds and logging roads). It's slower trail coming back down through French River (Bush trail and very rugged canadian shield). Achievable, but you will have a long final day. Might want to reverse yohr order.

  4. Shouldn’t be that way with no snow in south and all extra traffic. Money should move to areas that have snow and open trails.

  5. I heard the club only grooms that piece Thursday. Not sure if that’s correct but that’s the word on the street. Maybe get a dentist to sponsor that piece, lots of fillings will shake loose.

  6. In Powassan, I parked with several others on the side of Pioneer Road at the corner of Kells Road and Pioneer Road where the A101D meets D. Quiet road so no issues. I can imagine that Kearney area now open will be super busy this weekend!

  7. Anyone on here own one of these? Just wondering how people are finding this new motor. Would be really interested to hear from someone who has one that was a past 900 ace owner on how the two compare.

  10. Blowing around a bit in the country but starting to get more even coverage now. Supposed to warm up to 0 in Kitchener at 1 AM. Hopefully damp enough to set and stay.

  13. Rust spray the axles and all metal associated with them - they are metal (if you have e-brakes, take caution when spraying around those) Watch for metal to aluminum contact and the reaction caused by the two touching - should be rubber insulator between the two though. Wash the salt off of the underside whenever possible.

  14. Signfan gave good advice. It's doable either way - but I prefer to make my last day the easier one

  15. The section that is closed has been one of the last sections to open over the last few years.

  18. Step off the trails and there is quite a bit. There was maybe 3 inches of fresh snow last night too. They have something to work with. Not as much snow as a normal year but not too bad either. Maybe winter will return.

  20. I've done that ride and it was great. We left from Ahmic Lake and rode the lake trails to Port Loring (mostly groomed summer rodes from Port Loring to the French River) and crossed the French River to Owls Nest Resort. Then we went to the Sportsman Inn then next day. I'm don't remember how far that was (we went to Wolf Mountain that day too). Very interesting and remote trails, Welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy yourself here..

  21. We made a snap decision and are going to Mont Laurier on Sunday. Saddlebagging it for 4-5 nights. My buddys and my wife are in Costa Rica until Sunday am so as long as we are back to pick them up at YYZ are good to go.

  23. That's my 2017 Assault 144 which has been turning into an SKS full front end swap from a SKS, found someone who wanted the wider Assault front end Went from 42.5" to 41-39" adjustable to just this week 39"-37' adjustable Doing much more backcountry riding in Manitoba vs trails, surprisingly the 1stbrise at 37" it was good not to tippy. Bought the better half a 07 Crossfire 500 and it's set at 44" nice and stable for her vs my older 2015 RMK 600 144 Snow conditions are okay here could use more snow, but can ride. Might head to Sudbury late February but not sure https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMY1gn5cr/
