  1. Most scenic route

    in Gaspe Peninsula

    Posted

    My friends and I plan to tour the Gaspe from RDL to Matane, Murdockville, Perce,Chandler, Point La Crouix, down to Edmundston, and up to RDL. In your opinion, what are the most scenic, cool things to see. Which trail from Matane to Murdockville is the most scenic, challenging. northern or southern?

    Any favorite places? This is our 2nd attempt. Last year we had sled problems and snow storm which ended our tour.

  3. CLUTHES NOT UPSHIFTING

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I HAVE A 2011 GSX SE 1200 WITH 4775 MILES.IT IS COMPLETLY STOCK. AROUND 4300 I NOTICED ON A GRADUAL EXCELERATION RPM WAS NORMAL UNTIL OVER 65 WHEN THEY RAN UP TO REV LIMITER, 8600,. IF I LET OFF THROTLE TO 60 MPH, TACK WOULD DROP AND STAY AT 6300. ANY INCREASE IN THROTLE AND RPM WOULD JUMP UP. PUT ON NEW BELT. SAME PROBLEM. LAST 100 MILES I COULD ONLY GO 45 MPH AT 6000. FROM DEAD START I HAVE NORMAL REVS AND MPH UNTIL 45.THEN THE TACK KEEPS GOING UP.

    IF I RUN SLED WITH TRACK ON A STAND AND WATCH CLUTCHES, THEY TEND TO OPEN AND CLOSE OK BUT IN STAGES. 4000-ENGAGES, 4500 STARTS TO SHIFT, STAYS SAME UP TO 6500, THEN SHIFTS. AT 100 RPM IS 7000. OF COURSE THERE IS NOT MUCH LOAD SO I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A GOOD TEST.

    I CHECKED SECONDARY SPRING LOOKS OK. IF I LOCK BRAKE I CAN TURN AND PUSH INNER SHEVE TO OPEN.PRIMARY HAS SOME SLIGHT GROOVING ON INNER(ENGINE SIDE) SHEVE

    CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHICH CLUTCH IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM ?

    CAN YOU STAY OVERNIGHT IN L'ETAPE? WHEN YOU WERE ON 355, DID YOU SEE A TRAIL SIGN THAT GOES EAST ACROSS THE PARK TO L'ETAPE. IT'S NOT ON THE TRAIL MAPS BUT WHEN WE WERE RETURNING TO SHAWINIGAN 2 WEEKS AGO FROM ROBERVIL, WE SAW A SIGN AND BEGINNING OF A NICE TRAIL!

  6. VIBRATION/RATTLE

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I HAVE A VIBRATION/RATTLE NOISE BETWEEN 3900 AND 5000 RPM ON MY 2011 1200 4 STROKE. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AS MILEAGE INCREASES. I NOW HAVE 2766 ON IT. IF I REMOVE THE DRIVE BELT I CAN HEAR IT BETTER AND IS NOISIER WITH CLUTCH SIDE COVER OFF. IF I PUT A STETHASCOPE ON CRANKSHAFT HOUSING ON CLUTCH SIDE, IT'S VERY NOISY. MY FRIEND HAS THE SAME SLED WITH ABOUT 3500 MILES AND FOR THE FIRST 1000 MILES HIS WAS NOISY LIKE MINE BUT NOW IS QUITE. DEALERSHIP OPENED CLUTCH AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. DIDN'T HEAR A PROBLEM.

    I STILL THINK ITS THE PRIMARY CLUTCH. ANY COMMENTS?

    THANKS, JEFF

  10. HOW TO TRANSFER TRAIL PASS

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Stan is correct, anyone who sells Quebec Trail Passes can transfer the pass for you. Bring the pink copies and the sticker with you. The sticker will peel off. However it will come off in two pieces. You will get a thin top layer and the other part, with the holes in it stays on the sled/windshield. Just return the thin top piece that off when you pulled it off.

  16. TRAIL CONDITIONS 83 PARENT TO SENNETERE AND 83/93 RELAIS 22 TO CHIBOUAGAMY

    THANKS EVERYONE. THE OWNERS AT LAC ChateauvertT ARE VERY NICE. DIANE SPEAKS VERY GOOD FRENCH AND ENGLISH. GOOD COOK TOO. THEY HAVE 6 CABINS, FOOD, GAS, TELEPHONE AND INTERNET ALTHOUGH NO ELECTRICITY EXCEPT BY PULLROPE. IF YOU NEED TELEPHONE NUMBER, TOM WHO RIDES WITH US HAS IT. IS BALBUZZARD A MEMBER OR A PLACE? WHERE DOES HE LIVE? SENNETERE?

    VIPER 2, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU MADE THE LOOP WE MIGHT TRY. WHAT WERE TRAILS LIKE FROM SENNETERE TO CHIBOUGAMY. HOW MANY MILES. DO YOU HAVE TO GO TO LADORE OR CAN YOU GET FROM CHIB. ON 93 GOING STRAIGHT WHEN 93 TURNS EAST, GO SOUTH TO WHERE 83 COMES FROM ST HEDGEWICK AND TURNS SOUTH?
