I think if they add a turbo, it will be a good seller for those guys wanting power in the 130hp range.

Pouring rain in fergus right now…absolutely pouring. I’m just thankful we got our last ride in from home while it was decent. Back to trailering/travelling again to finish off the season.

Definitely needs a turbo and shock options. I’m not sure about that throttle though. I personally think a cable style would be more reliable?? 🤷🏼‍♂️

3 yrs in and must be still waiting for parts eh 😂

THE START OF A GREAT DAY IN SOUTHERN ONTARIO, YAMAHA & SKIDOO, CREEMORE, 491KM DAY

This was south end of FEB trails yesterday, that section is now closed…🤷🏼‍♂️

Ya it’s definitely not looking good. Oh well, nothing we can do about it.

Sleds are definitely still out and have been passing my house all day. It’s supposed to drop to -7 overnight tonight, so we’ll see in the morning.

Definitely weird weather this season. I’m not sure what I’ll be doing for March, if the weather keeps going the way it’s going to go I don’t think anyone will be riding in March lol. This is by far the worst season I’ve experienced in a long time. Little one is doing ok, finally sleeping at night now, only took 2 friggin years!

It was really weird, some places have plenty of snow with tons of drifting and the trails could be green, and others just a dusting where you’re banging your skis of rocks and hard spots. It was hit and miss really. FEB, our club has some good trails right now, go north into Arthur, and crossing a field is brutal, all the hard bumps come right up through the bars. It’s like this all over southern ontario right now. We like to put in a good ride, seasons are short.

I’m hoping most clubs have their trails cleaned up before the incoming rain. 🤞🏼

We started out on the FEB trails which were freshly groomed (first tracks on them) and made our way over to Dundalk, then up through Honeywood & into Creemore. From there, we rode through Singhampton, Thornbury and through Walters Falls over to Owen Sound for lunch. After lunch we made our way down to Chatsworth on the rail bed which was table top, then down to Chesley, Hanover, through Mount Forest, down to Arthur and then home. Conditions were a mixed bag, ranging from really good to really bad. Total distance for todays ride was 491.1km. Let’s see what Monday brings…🤔

Nice, a couple guys I ride with have them. They love em, 130hp turbo is really all you need.

Did you just buy a turbo ace this season?

Sad news indeed… My Dad mentioned to me just yesterday that his buddy watched 2 guys ride out of penetang harbour over to Beausoleil island. Said they “seemed to have made it” 🤷🏼‍♂️ Just makes you wonder sometimes.

Definitely doable, I ride with a group in their 40’s, I say their because I’m not there yet…still in my 30’s lol. If conditions and the trails allow for it, you can do almost 500km in approximately 12hrs riding at a comfortable pace.

There were definitely a few sections that took a beating.

I agree, step off the trail in some areas and you sink up to your waist… closer to central Sudbury is lacking snow and the trails get beat up pretty quick, but the further north you go, it gets much better. winter I think is finally here. Short season, but let’s hope it stays this time.

I’m definitely interested in the S4. When Polaris puts a turbo on it, that’s probably when I’ll trade the viper. 90hp just isn’t enough for me, I’d be happy with 130-140hp turbo 4 stroke though. 😆 My wife and I went to rickwards last year and demoed some 650s, in short, amazing sleds! Still getting the wife one when the time comes as they’re super light and more than enough power. If the S4 handles anything like the 650, I’m sold on it. We backed out of our SP 650 order this year from rickwards unfortunately. Kinda regretting it, but kinda glad we did because it’s going to be a very short season! I’m a die hard Yamaha guy, but I can say confidently that that matrix chassis is very very good!

We went up Friday morning (20th) and rode the afternoon. It was decent, choppy in some spots, but still rideable. Saturday morning was pretty good, until just after noon. It was F****D, and I just wanted to walk out the bush lol. That time of year I guess.

Problem solved….for now lol. thanks for everyone’s help in trying to diagnose my slow leak problem. I completely forgot I had put a plug in it last year and only noticed it while spinning my tire in the water…which wasn’t bubbling btw. I just saw it and thought, that sure does look like a plug and then realized that has to be where the leak is coming from. Anyways, it’s holding air now! 👌🏻

So I decided to put the kids pool under the tire and fill it with water today. Turns out I previously installed a plug in this tire last year lol. ripped out the old plug and put a new one in. Put some heat to the new plug to make it really tacky. I’ll know in the morning forsure if that was the problem…completely forgot about that.

Thanks! any Information on C111D around Windy Lake area? I heard there was a mean moose in the area lol.

Sounds like it’s bad everywhere. I guess we still need cold and a major storm to roll through all of ontario.

It really only started loosing pressure as winter was starting. I kinda want to wait and see if it goes back to normal in the spring time, but not sure I want to keep adding air all winter long lol
