    Iceman and GT rider,

    What model are you guys using? We have been using Collett for decades and now they are out of business, been very happy with them just need  something new 

    We run BVS so the little mic just stuck in place and worked well, worried about moisture with this Sena, any idea on this??

    Thanks

    Nick

    I'm super happy with the 900T. Definitely lighter in the front end then my 1200. Plenty of power even at 60-70 MPH hit the throttle and there is still more unlike the 1200. My only complaint is the ITC throttle. Not much of an issue on open trails. In really tight twisties it's really twitchy and tuff to keep a steady pace and that's in standard mode. I'm running the 6.9 pilots and still trying to figure out the right carbides. Shapers don't work in the center. Putting 6" round bars in the center and the shapers on the outside per recommendation from Dootalk. Will try it out in 2 weeks. Can't comment on fuel mileage, have't checked. For saddlebagging in QC I think it's the perfect sled. Done with 2 strokes, lugging oil and worrying about when she blows 800 miles from your truck. Loved my 1200, put 20,000 miles on her, this sled just feels better!

    Hey Jackstraw,

    I run the 8" dooly and like the grip but my biggest improvement was putting the Bergstrom shim block under the spindles, WOW what a difference! as soon as the dooly's wear out I willo try their triple point. They make a 1 piece block now and fits perfectly!

    I bought a 900T Renegade X this year and came from a 2012 Renegade 1200 with just shy of 17,000 miles

    I have to say jumping on my buddies 2015 Renegade 1200 felt more at home, my new buggy just doesn't corner or carve the twisties as my old machine

    I have done lots of tinkering from pulling in the limiter 2 holes heavy torsion springs on the rear, backed off the front spring on the skid and still lifting a ski 

    New machine is better on fuel, if he uses 37L i would be 32L Very good machine, love the power and maybe get a flash for a little more top end 

    Both machines run pretty close just on top end mine pulls away but not as much as I would have liked LOL

    Hi NickySkiDoo.  You are rolling right along.  What type of trails?  A lot of flat land riding or is a mix?

    Jack & Sandi

    Hi Jack,

    Almost all trail and mostly Abitibi Temiscamingue, a little in Ontario (where I'm from) but just like the people in Quebec and the trails, love their trails!!

     We ride at a pretty good clip but are getting older and have slowed down and try to keep the miles below 250 a day LOL 

    Love the reports as always

    Just to let my friends from south of the border know it is the same for us going into your country. I have been in a car and got turned around because of 1 guy had a minor charge that was dropped but still on record and for many years after that I used to get asked if I have ever been denied and my answer was always no, then the long pause... you sure? I would say I was with a guy that got turned away not me. Spent a night at the Buffalo crossing with pockets turned out, no shoes, belt or jacket with some SOB that was made he was working Christmas Day he confiscated 1 street bike and 1 dirt bike out of 5 and turned us away. Cost us thousands to fight to get them back just to see they were mostly junk from sitting outside for 11 months. Lots of stories over the years. One last thing, I recently got a Nexis card and it feels like cheating coming back into the US or Canada, you get to bypass the regular Long line for immigration even driving. Big background check then you have an interview with both the US and Canadian border people. This can clear up non relevant or very old charges and any non issue things that some border Hero will look at and mess with.

    Please keep coming north my American Friends!!!

    We love your greenbacks!!

    I like your style. Do you have any side pics and I assume the side "platforms" were custom made?

    Not to mention having to tow someone. They do like the gas when you're towing!!!

    Just 1/8" x 1-1/2" aluminum angle @ 11-3/8" X 8" welded, bungee cords and the small Gerry cans 10L and some rubber spacers to make up the difference from the foot wells to the reinforcement bar

    Big rollers....X2 on that, and just when the trail starts to open up into Louvicourt, running through the black spruce tree line there are whoops you really want to be aware of running at triple digits (metric system).

    You've been warned.

    LOL hit that one big hump in the middle of the open muskeg and thought I would never come down...
