Attempting Impossible Lines Vs Polaris 9r Turbo

[@yoshy4072]

Dawson is fun to have around I bet, always has a huge smile and so chill, Another top notch vidya.

[@riverratt8626]

Dawson is a Surfer on a snowmobile, just laid back with a big smile, just like Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High movie.

[@Saskatchewan1984]

I’d say if Dawson makes a 175 you and him would get into some wicked places lol Dawson make a 175 boost !

[@JoeBoyle-pe5mw]

I’m just amazed at the terrain modern sleds can get into. 25 years ago, even the big mod sleds couldn’t get anywhere near that stuff. I had a stock Cat King Cat, and it was amazing, but damn, it wouldn’t get another in this vids terrain. Modern tech and engineering is so good.

At least we could fix them and mod them ours3lves tbese new skeds shutdown your finished to the shop it must go not cheap

[@ruger8412]

​@@drifter5682 na, unless your go into a rapid disassembly the new slads will go into limp mode so you can go back down & figure out whats wrong. Most of today's sleds are much more dependable as well.

[@drifter5682]

@ruger8412 helicopters still running strong lifting them out of Revy and limp mode is not getting you out of tha back country

[@davidwolff6566]

Someone may have pointed this out before but carbon fiber conducts electricity pretty well. You could be having some sort of short from your key area if its directly touching the carbon. Try giving it a wrap with some electrical tape if its touching any carbon that may eliminate your key issue.

[@MuskokaFreerider]

It’s not though haha it’s just blocking the rfid. I’ve cut even more of it out and think I should be ok now

[@Pitbike65]

I made a comment about the carbon fiber possibly reflecting the RFI from the open arcs of the spark plugs back and messing with the RFID reader in the key switch. May be able to clean up the signal by putting a ferrite bead on the ignition wiring or wrapping it around a toroid.

[@aaronw6706]

This is THE best and most impressive snowmobile video I have EVER seen and I have watch you and Caleb and burant and much more for many years. Both your filming and your riding and that sled are out of this world good. Keep it up and keep pushing those crazy lines, they make my heart pump

[@208SledHead]

How many 174's has Burandt and Kesterke built?

[@jespercarlsson740]

None I think. I don’t want to say that Muskoka is the best rider just that the things he did in this video with that 75 where jaw dropping and if I could choose this is the type of content I would want to watch:)

[@208SledHead]

@@jespercarlsson740 If you think this was impressive, you should watch his video with all the Polaris riders from a few videos ago. THAT was some impressive riding.

[@derekbrousseau2929]

I've been watching your videos for years and just had to say Omg your riding is so impressive kepp up the great videos love the content

[@dupes_1618]

I could watch you and Dawson all day. A shop vid with him would be nice. He seems like the guru

[@cutznfadez4683]

All I can say, is I have been watching your videos from the very beginning, and it is so awesome to see how much you have progressed. You are a top-notch Rider and do some incredibly impressive stuff. I don't know in regards to what type of sponsorship you should have but you should definitely be sponsored. Appreciate all the videos and please keep up the great work

[@andyhampsten4252]

No. I'm not going to do it. I won't be peer-pressured. Dawson: I think you CAN do it. OK, let me see. .. makes it and everyone is stoked. Felt like I was there cheering you on with the crew, great clip

[@Yz4Life]

The way that snowmobile can just keep tractoring up hills is insane

[@KInd325]

Cans always were cool. Cleaner sound and way lighter than the stock muffler. Stingers on the other hand are best left on race sleds.

[@SlipperyDucky]

Dawson sled is the real winner in this vid. Man that thing screams. I know he puts in a lot of time working on it.

[@steveboisvert]

that was absolutely amazing. Staiway to heaven in deed. you guys are top heavy hitters

[@jaysonsorensen594]

Man, it fun watching the progression of these guys. Remember when they said stock was best. Reliability is more fun then wrenching, and then they rode with the pros. It been fun to watch them come to the dark side

[@lovegunn22]

His engine is stock except for the pipe. Now we'll see what happens if he does a tune

[@jaysonsorensen594]

@lovegunn22 he has a can. I'm not dogging them. It just funny to see the anti can, leave em completely stock crew. Now going full mods.

[@lovegunn22]

@jaysonsorensen594 My only point was the Reliability of the motor when he does a tune. Things tend to not last with mods

[@jaysonsorensen594]

@@lovegunn22 I've seen stock sleds blow as fast at tuned ones. It all depends on how far you go on tune and who does it

[@brianquarnstrom2000]

One good thing about having a 175 with a group is you can make lines for others to track poach to get where you go.

[@xcryerkes]

Some of the Lines were sick!!!! Great stuff The can was wild!!!!

If you guys were all mic’s up , i’d be on the floor in tears right now 🤣😂😭👌. The subtle comments and remarks and banter would be PURE GOLD

holy crap Matt that sled is just insane , some of those climbs look impossible, and you just went right up with no problem!! wow

[@jakematula5552]

Why does Dawson's sled always sound like it's bouncing off a rev limiter?

[@WODT-Dmoney]

thing sounds awesome though haha

[@everythingloud4068]

He needs more weight on his clutch

[@Pitbike65]

That's traction control

[@R6_Nitty]

Just noticed it as well. Needs some more weight yes or it’s the waste gate opening and closing like you hear on a lot of Subarus

[@grandpre25]

That's the waste gate opening and closing to prevent overboost. Waste gate bypasses the turbine after full boost is achieved.

[@ScopeLoff]

That thing is insane! 🔥🔥

[@MXstar189]

truly is amazing what you guys get through with those sleds................

[@Banzaj33]

Love the new helmet cam you got, much more immersive video to watch that vs the gopro

[@rstrome5864]

Another great video. I would have my sled smashed into the trees trying to follow where you guys ride. The 175 is ripping it up!

[@N4ljyCustoms]

That terrain is insane, modsled is insane and you are insane! 🤩

[@hike2]

I remember Caleb ending up in the tree to the right and you saying someone else did too. That machine is a monster, great riding!

[@ddoyle5]

Matt, your issue with the key is due to the carbon. Carbon fiber will conduct electricity. it is also likely Grounded due to it touching frame areas. This turns all of your carbon panels into a faraday cage (blocks radio signals, or could potentially emit them if there is noise.) its not a good one but obviously enough to mess with the key. have someone 3d print you a small panel you can cut a hole in the carbon to isolate they key unit. prob 6in circle is enough space.

[@MuskokaFreerider]

I have a 4” hole now with plastic bit riveted in. Work 90 % of the time and the other 10% of the time I just have to give it a little wiggle

[@hurleymoulds]

Man that sled can pull. Beauty machine Muskoka.

[@Hfamjam]

The rooster when you look back is hilarious on the 75 …. Sleds wicked AF

[@michaelfordyce7292]

Never owned a mountain sled with a stock exsaust. Used to be cans were the norm for power and weight.

[@drymillsfarms9139]

I watched that log drainage rip on Caleb’s channel! It was gnarly but I died laughing when Andreas was coming out of it and got bodied by the snow bank at the end.

[@porteand]

Sick that you guys actually ride your mod sleds, ghanka for sharing

[@kakearator]

[@BAMFYZrider]

Perfect a new video to watch on my way to ride! Perfect way to get pumped for the day! 🤘🏻

[@roycebrown12]

On the old 2017s when you installed the mtntk blow hole you sometimes had to run an extra ground from the fan to the frame instead of just using the accessory wires ground or you would have these exact dess key issues.

[@jamesmertes4739]

I think we need a sound compilation of Dawson’s sled at the end of the year

[@lukesmith8547]

Getting stuck is learning the limits of your machine I have taken my side x side on wheels so for I have surprised guys on timber sleds of course I was on the logging road but I made a surprising distance before the snow started to get soft enough where the snowmobile tracks were not holding my machine up anymore

[@Pitbike65]

Is the key issue caused by the carbon hood reflecting some RF back into the system? Any way you can shield the wiring or add some ferrite beads? Could also need better grounding.

[@J.white409]

I had similar issue. I put Christmas lights on my sled ran off an inverter, and it affected the key. Just had to flip the inverter off and then back one once the key registered.

[@Pitbike65]

Christmas lights give off tons of RFI. So do arcs (spark plugs) I bet that carbon hood is reflecting some of that back at that key switch.

[@jiggyquinn5635]

Thank you, excellent! 1st I heard fiancee, congratulations 🎊

[@Sidewinder-xtx-146]

[@teachdougie8139]

Caleb posted a video with you guys doing that drainage you mentioned at the end. Looked like a killer day.

The dess key might just need some fine tuning, but man you're rippin on that skidoo! Good to see the polaris sleds clutches and spark plugs are holding up too. Push the limits and be safe on that monster!

Hey bud, not sure if you’re aware but you can make clicker adjustments to just one clicker if you’re trying to fine tune your RPM. The common practice is you have to change all 3 together for balance, but that’s not the case

[@patr161]

One day I burned 38 liters with a gen4 165 NA and another guy in my group burned 28 liters with his gen5 175 turbo and he broke trail and climbed just as much as me. You'll for sure burn more on deep days but I was really surprised how efficient the 175 is since it just climbs.

How much of the mod sled is weight savings Vs the 175 track? I think it would be an awesome test to put a shorter track on it and see what you can do. Keep it up Matt!!!

Good question, would be interesting to try a 154 in it

[@Saskatchewan1984]

The CHECK KEY OR wrong key can be electrical interference as skidoo has had models where if other electric wires /harness are to close to the dess post it will cause this , not sure how your harness is but try space electrical away , if that don’t fix it I’d get a new key or dead post , they aren’t that much money , most dealers should have them in stock and shouldn’t take them long to do ,

[@joshbennett4348]

Dude that 175 i could watch that thing all day makes me want one lol

[@tom58c]

Really sucks how any metal, carbon or even fiber glass screws those keys. So many badass builds, then the key is just zip tied out in the open somewhere. And, Dawson is a badass and needs a 175!

[@kolbybeattie4516]

Should look into finding a 2022 dess post. A lot of them weren't programmed, so they're just a tether. Might sovle the key problem

[@downbytheriver501]

Muskoka, what do you think of those Polaris skis on the mod sled? I have been riding a lynx shredder ds 4100 for two-ish seasons now and the factory skis are miserable in all but the perfect snow conditions (powder). They’re ungodly stiff and so wide it makes it significantly more difficult to maintain a sidehill. Was thinking of switching them out to the 4th/5th gen doo skis but I am intrigued about the poo skis. Also as far as fuel consumption goes, it’s crazy how much more efficient long tracks are. I regularly burn two gallons less than my riding buddy on his boost 155” in a day. We’re practically driving hybrids at this point! SaVin tHe woRLd!

[@riverratt8626]

Your Mod is a beast, you make Jan riding look like April riding, when it looks steep on a video then you know it is really steep. Awesome content, did Dawson have his long track 175 on that sled ? or just the 165 ?
