TBRider 1,411 Posted March 22, 2021 I have a 2011 Yamaha Venture RS, 900, book says it has 120 HP, I only put about 1000 km on this year. I remember years ago putting over 5600 miles on a brand new sled in one winter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ATC4ever 1,090 Posted March 23, 2021 Yea they are fast, no real smooth place to wind them up around here tho. 4cly 1000cc Sportbike engine with different tuning & the clutch is geared down from the factory so the clutch doesnt explode over 10000rpms lol. I cut the secondary springs in the carbs & put a softer primary clutch spring in it so it starts out sooner, instead of the 'high stall torque converter' effect, which always seemed to dig a hole you would get stuck in 😮 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure there's a sled made now a days (other than the economy sleds) that won't do 100 mph. I had my Custom Turbo Yamaha Apex doing 137 across Lake Gogebic in the UP of MI, (close/ish to retro) and that had a 162" track. And you're correct Fish,1000 lb missle is what that sled was. (fwiw, my wife now wears the sled on her finger) 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Bird 93 Posted March 27, 2022 I got out a couple times this year on weekend day trips. Slammed a rock at slow speed and bent up some stuff just before the 4 day tour. I did a 4 day tour with my brother and 2 others. We did 1000KM on those 4 days. First day was !. Rain and freezing rain. As we headed farther north the next 3 days were good overall. 1 morning it was -30C/-22F. Brother blew a belt. My 1 finger got cold and got a bit weird. Felt like the end was dipped in wax. Not much feeling in it. Then it started to peel. LOL. Not frost bite but close. Great times . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Bird 93 Posted April 7, 2022 Took the sled in to have it looked at after hitting the rock. Seems it was a bit more damage than I thought... Oh well. You have to pay to play. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
