  1. The Lanaudiere web site trail condition section has an interesting notation in the Parent, Cova, res. Gouin section. It says trail conditions excellent and "our trails are not closed we will continue indefinitely" That's incouraging. Mark

  4. Hi Pat,

    Just curious. Was it a 600 or 800 e-tec and what year? If it is an 800, did it have the piston recall done on it? I`ve got an 2011 Gade 800 that has been wonderful.

    It seems odd that it would act up and then run good and then act up again unless it just scuffed the cylinder and didn`t actually break something.

    Thanks,

    Jack

    Hi Jack, 09 600 do not know if it had a recall,will be torn downTues. or Wed.motor is not making ant funny noises,left cylinder not making power.
  5. Day 1 and only day.Planned 4 + days of riding.Woke up Thursday morning Feb. 28 in Matawin to 10 inches of new snow,the 3 of us ate so fast that morning we could not wait to get on the trails.Left Chez Marineau at 8am took 360 to get on to pipe line 355 thats when the fun stopped.5 miles in to the trip while breaking trail theres no one behind me,I stop and wait, I did not want turn around in this deep snow if did not have to so I waited,10 minutes later my 2 friends pull up behind me and Darrells sled is the one cutting out,I'am thinking something is getting wet and shutting the sled off,so we looked at somethings, everything seemed ok lets try this again.Took off maybe 3 miles down the trail no one is behind me again,10 minutes later they pull up and said the samething,sled cutting out,now there is a misfire,will not idle and under load motor is skipping,checked over and the problem went away,decided to put that sled out front and let it break trail,cought up with him 5 miles down the trail and the sled was running good no problems but we had to think about what we were going to do at this point if this sled kept having this problem,decided to keep going our thought was something was getting wet causing the problem, going through La Tuque would stop at ski-doo dealer and fix it.Got up on 355 pipe line everthing was going ok but I was holding my breath,sure enough Darrell starts dropping back,we stop and he is back to the same problem,at this point we are about 40 miles or so from La Tuque,dealer here we come!We get there and they bring it in and tell us it dropped a cylinder,what! Plan B go to motel 9 leave Darrell and sled, Leon and I ride back down to the truck and go back to motel 9 stay the night and call it a trip and head back to Vermont.E-tec motor with 5500 miles on it,I thought I would be the one breaking with 07 gade 20,000 miles.I was so looking forward to finding that cut through going 73 north to Windigo with out a gps,gate? kidding.Sense I had extra time this weekend started looking into my first gps to mount on bar 07 and be able to install onto new sled later,2015?Not ending the season like this! Rebooked For March 14th,lets try this again! Pat
