Hey Everyone,
Serious Inquiries only Please, Thank you
I'm planning a massive, once in a lifetime expedition across Quebec for this upcoming winter, and I'm looking to connect with the riding community here to find some serious riders who would enjoy such a trip, tracking my preparation and get some expert trail insight. I've spoke to the team at Snowtrax TV to see about covering a trip of this size to tell my story, they agreed to cover my story without question. Would love to conquer a trip like this with a strong group of riders.
I recently spoke with a lynx brand ambassador who pointed me directly to this sub-Forum. I'm tackling a 14-night mega-loop on my 2005 Ski-doo GSX 600 sdi. Hitting around 2902 miles across the most iconic and rugged terrains the province has to offer. I know my sled is older, but I've maintained a high level of care with the machine that i would like to share.
Isoflex grease, new ball joints, new throttle body boots, rebuilt shocks, new clutch springs, chain has been inspected along with chain tension, new bearings, 3000 miles on machine, new track, new carbides, new sliders, newish voltage regulator, tested stator, New fuel filters, Garmin tread 2 overland edition GPS, 3 gallon fuel caddy and 2 gallon oil caddy.
Spare parts: Fuel injectors, ignition coil, Fuel pump module, Exhaust Springs, Throttle cable, voltage regulator, drive chain, EGT sensor, ECT sensor, CPS sensor, APS sensor, Socket head screws M6 X 20 for the prone to fail Y Pipe bolts, 4 Napa Spare Relays, Drive belt, fuses and spare main wiring harness I've had for a while. Fits in my tunnel perfectly and i need to have the parts in hand that the dealer may not have. Basically carrying a second sled with me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and I look forward to hearing from you all. I understand the bridge is closed on the TQ 3 at Baie-comeau, i plan on using the shuttle provided.
Cheers and take Care
Nathan.
