Any 2-stroke should be properly warmed up before you ride, really any small engine should be - you want all parts to be same temp and at operating temps before riding regardless if sled will limit the power by way of the ECU....at least if you plan on keeping the sled for any duration. Same as shut down, always let the engine idle down a bit before killing it if you can. Just good habits to follow.   I actually just recalled a trail side check and the cop asked me to shut off engine after pulling over to the side, I told him no, once the sled idles down for a bit I will though - he did not like it, but too bad.   

100% one of the best looking sleds on the snow - no question about it. Good choice  

Thank you.  I have had a couple of compliments on the colour.  It's not a color combo that you see a lot of.  Really like the sled so far.  Between the power and ride, I can't complain.

Sorry...cant make this date work. Have doctors appointment booked and cant change it or it will be months before I can get in to see him again. 

Thurs night-Fri saying 20mm of rain up here. We needed a foot of snow not rain. We just finished all the brush and tree clearing so im thinking of getting out of here for a few days to do some riding. Undecided where to go, likely Quebec.
