These days I ride more with my daughters so that’s throttled me back a lot but I was wondering if this linkage would help make the ride a little more plush and do you think I’d need the shock done. Not really looking to make it stiffer

That's awesome Jesse. I'll be sure to be watching!👍

Love the excitement! Getting into cross country racing up here in Alaska

That’s awesome loved those videos 👍

Congratulations, good luck and will be watching.

Come up and run the Iron Dog!

Jesse/Bruce, 21 Assault with studded 1.6 track, fairly aggressive trail rider here. 80% trail, 20% off trail. Question is, XPT or XCS? Minnesota trails, so just call it flat land and some ditches. My gut says XPT for the effort on the bars. Also, what carbide would you run? Stock skis have me pushing pretty bad in the corners and I’ve gone with 8” carbides only to suffer with tougher steering effort.

What kind of loser gets married on the same weekend as big east?!

Sweet! Will be fun to follow the race season! Good luck

Good luck. Looking forward to following along. Bummed you won’t be in Syracuse for the Big East show. If we ever get some good rideable snow, I hope to catch up with on the Tug!! Can’t wait for your trail sled build too.

I’m getting into racing adxc also. got a Indy cc coming and have no idea what I’m doing lol

omg... my knees hurt thinking about that.... I will race... bar stool to bar stool,....lol....love it good luck!

That’s awesome , I can’t wait for the videos and praying for snow from North Dakota, good luck

I appreciate you sharing your expertise. Thank you.

What work for a 2022 assault? Agressive rider at 230pounds I live in Canada

Hey Jesse, just wondering if you can help me diagnose what’s going on with my Polaris iq shift 600

whats with the fallaparticle board

I have been using C&A skis for the trail past 14 years. Its perfect when you modify wear bars (carbides) just for 2 center bolt length. It gives that lighter steering with precise turning without darting. Biggest problem with C&A skis is that people are using too aggressive carbides which makes steering really heavy. Go for the least aggressive version and cut it just for 2 center bolts and its perfect for any modern sled.

Good work! There is absolutely nothing out there on the pro S and Pro X skid

Great content. Bought the XCS for my son two seasons ago, and too much effort on the bars for me. Assume that my ski of choice would be the XPT ( both of us own Assaults ) since I'm on the trail 90% of the time. Temps are cooler, and the neighbor has started picking his grapes ... giving me the itch to pull the sleds out of the trailer and getting them prepared for the season !

good info on skis thank you!

And here I am looking at going to gripper from pro steer 🤣

Thank you appreciate it

Maybe one of these days we'll make it out there! Looks like a blast!

Got some c and a pro skis for my 22 xcr 136. I was wondering when you got your xcrs if you ever compared the factory skis to your c and a skis on snow or if you just put them on before even riding on snow. Having never had the c and a skis on snow yet I’m guessing im going to have some oversteer compared to factory skis. Basically wondering just changing the skis what modifications did you have to adjust on yours. I have the 8 inch woody mavericks which may be overdoing it since I don’t have studs.

Great bike!

I have a 97 fountain 35 lightning as well. GREAT F-ING BOAT. Have you ever thought about doing something different with the exhaust? Out the back over swim step? Nice video!

can you do a video on cleaning, exhaust valves and changing clutch roller bearings

It's funny you guys mentioned guys who ride studs their whole life and going to a non studded sled is hard. Lol because guys like me who have never ridden a sled with studs and I'm 34 and rode every winter for as long as my first memories started, we don't even notice anything difficult about it. When guys who run studs tell us we're are riding death traps and we're just like "meh". And we laugh out butts off when some snowmobile journalist make a video of studs vs no studs and just throttle jockeying the non studded sled on bare ice lol I don't know if other non studded riders do this unconsciously or if studded guys do this. But I can usually tell when a slippery corner or what ever before I get to it and know how to use my legs to hold the tunnel under me and just kinda let the carbides do their thing. Plus throttle control. Do guys on studs pay much attention the the terrain and texture of the trails? Still very cool to see the progression of woodys

Nice Batman sub on the woodys rep

Great content!

I'm thinking of making a modern bogie wheel suspension, definitely like seeing this stuff man

Thanks Jesse, nice walk around to see what’s there! 👍🏻🇨🇦

Thanks for the vid Jesse. Nice to see for those of us who couldn’t make it. Can’t wait to see what you and Bruce have cooking this winter!

I'm excited for winter! One of these days, I will get to Hay days! I'm looking forward to seeing what you got coming up this fall for content!

Every year I say just once I need to go to Hay Days. Another year down, and still have not done it !

Adelbert Crest

Before you know it CF MOTO will have a 200hp turbo sled for 12k bye bye competitors. Lmao

My first time there I took my kids on the helicopter ride , I’m going by myself next year kids started whining about all the walking lol

Hi Jesse quick question. Do you know if Polaris has a fix coming for the fuel static discharge issue? I bought a 2024 XCR that is under the recall. They keep telling me they are sending a fuel additive free of charge but I don't feel that is an acceptable fix. I see they are producing 2025 sleds with no recall yet I am told to use fuel additives. Thank you in advance for any info you may have.

It was a good haydays this year! I go most years as I live an hour and a half away. I've bought 2 sleds at haydays years before. This yeah I got some good deals and I won $500 for KLIM gear. My prize buy this year is the big lock and ride adventure bag for $200. We tailgated in the western lot, grilling burgers for lunch. It's always a good time.

JESSEJAMES322, awesome video keep up the good content

Well done on the comparison dudes!!!

Hey Jesse! You ARE going up to the Grass Drags in NH, right! See ya there!

Regarding disconnecting the battery during the summer, what if we start our sled up every few weeks throughout the year? I do this. I haven't had a problem with my battery in three seasons.

Interested in how you mount the gauntlets behind the flex tecs, if you don’t mind sharing? do you use xtra mounts or anything? Thanks

Do you have your gauntlets set up any special way behind the rox hand guards? Thanks

Hope to see you at Hay Days! (Anytime that I've brought a sled in for work during the late summer/fall, I've been burned. "We are working on hunters 4-wheelers and SxS's." ) Pray for snow!!!!

I now know all there is to know about projected tips 😂. Great tip on the BPR8’s.

Just a heads up.. Polaris prefers the solid terminal NGK BPR8ES Polaris part# 3024357 NGK part# 95521 The box Bruce is showing is NGK BPR8ES part# 3923, which is a removable terminal nut.
