DO NOT I Repeat DO NOT under any circumstances and I cannot emphasize this enough NEVER EVER……EVER…..even think think about leaving the trail with this sled. 😂. Now back to praying for snow. All the best in 2024

Pete my only regret watching your videos is I don’t own any shares in Ultimax. What a great spokesperson you have become!

[@bunsdad4530]

Are the ultimate belts actually tougher than OEM?

Absolutely they are. I have been running one on my tuned Yamaha for years. @@bunsdad4530

Ultimax does make a decent belt I haven't always used them but the ones I have used have held up just fine.

[@DaveLandsiedel-s3j]

Wow that sled is a Beast. Not going to toss that back sled in the back of pickup like we once did with the 340's in the 80's.. Awesome watching you and Christina working together. Thanks for all the information, nothing is too easy on these new sleds. No snow down here in North Dakota but brewski's do be Cold. Cheers

[@craigaustin4779]

If you do an Apex oil change video, install a filter relocation kit. It makes oil changes reasonable, as does pumping the tank dry first. Keep 'em coming!

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

thanks! cheers 🍻

DAMN PETE...things were really lookin up for a few seconds there... Then this hairy guy jumped back into the picture😂

That’s a thunder products belt adjuster. There should be an Allen bolt in the tool kit to open the secondary

New subscriber here all the way from the great State of Maine. The misses & I have a pair of 2017 Vipers and have been Yami fans since the mid 90's V-max. I've learned a ton of maintenance techniques (tips & tricks) from the great guys over on the Totally Yamaha forum website but having your videos as a reference and step by step are priceless. My only issue now is my Maine accent is turning full blown "Letter-kenney" and my American lagers are turning to cold Molsen's & Labatt's. Great work Pete & gang, Cheers to a happy 2024 Billy from the pine tree state of Maine

Nice work Pete. Love learning from you 😊

[@ajbertelson9871]

thats essentially a pantera with a 998 engine. The pantera utilizes a different tunnel config than the regular procross, it's one reason the running boards looks so different. Additionally with that second tank is the first one it drains from. but yeah with that seat its the catillac on the snow.

Love the videos. Will wait till you start dealing the belts and will replace them and my sleds then. Quick question , how big of a lug track can I put on a thundercat? Or sidewinder or viper in a 137? Can I go 2.5 lug? Or 1.6? Maybe 1.75? How much room without any rubbing?

Hey Pete. Just curious on a price for an Ultimax belt for a 2023 thundercat?. Or where is there a place that sells them?. 🎉And also what brand of radar gun do you use for the sled radar runs? Or what brand would you suggest for a radar gun ?. Keep the videos coming. Love them.

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

good day! I'm still working on getting setup to sell the belts but I'll be ready to go soon! you can go to www.Ultimaxbelts.com to find the belt number and a dealer close to ya if ya need one right away though. for the radar gun, we've been using a Bushnell gun but a buddy of ours has one that's better quality...I can't remember the name of it though lol. we also use a dragy GPS for accurate quarter mile speeds and times and nobody has to hold the gun for ya! cheers 🍻

After my last three sleds being Apex, I finally moved up to a 2017 Sidewinder!! After seeing how big and in the way that suitcase of a muffler is I would like to change to a smaller trail can, that way I can adjust the chain without removing the muffler and it would create sooo much more room! One problem, the sled came with a Hurricane stock muffler tune, what would need to be done to run a trail can? Thanks and thanks for all your videos, they are awesome and very helpful..... love the speed runs, lol!!!

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

good day, sled sounds like a Nice One! I think Dave at hurricane does recommend a different tune for stick muffler and an aftermarket one. you'd probably be best to give hurricane a call just to double check though. cheers 🍻

Why not put anti-seize on the torx exhaust bolts when re-installing? Wouldn't that help the next time you need to remove them (with vice grips), or does the heat just burn it off?

there is high heat anti-seize that I probably should have used...I do have it on the shelf lol. cheers 🍻

Need some advice pete. '07 z1 4 stroke bought it may '23 (last year) started for him but not for me when i got it home. After oil change (dry sump) is the first startup dry for first couple revolutions of engine as lines and pump fill up? There was a clump of dirt that came out of each the sump and resevoir. Turns out one airbox boot wasnt on throttle body. Plugs were sooty and one was finished. Put new plugs in and properly installed airbox onto throttle body. Decided to flush what i could so i put 3 litres of very expensive 0w40 in resevoir and a week later (time constraints) drained both resevoir and sump. No new oil in sump at all hence my dry start question. Also do you think i should pull pump ofv and inspect lines for dirt accumulation or clogs. It was ran sucking dirt until it fucked the plugs up enough not to start. Oil filter sits horizontally so prefilling not really going to work. I havent rode it yet. Its for my son who is up near Timmins and i dont want to see that fucking cat breakdown in the bush 20 miles from town in minus 25 weather. 5000k on it inpaid $2g. Too good to be true as fucking usual. Ive got that '07 z1, a '13 Polaris assault 800 155 and a '99 zL 600. Nothing like pre '04 sleds to work on, nice and easy. Lemme know what ya think thanks

[@LifeWideOpen780]

A sled with 23k from alberta would be absolutely beat. You guys must baby them on the trails to get so many miles

What's your engine oil recommendation for a new Ski-Doo 900 Ace? The OEM XPS, AmSoil? I see you're flying the Amsoil flag, but I'm guessing either/or is fine. Eh?

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

yeah there are a ton of good quality oils these days! I mean for any kind of warranty issues maybe stick with the OE oils but after the warranty is up use what ya like. I stick to the yamalube for my sleds 🍻
