I only got to ride just under 500 miles this past season and have a list of things I need to do to my sled in the off-season. Even though the warm weather is here I can't stop thinking about working on the sled, getting ready for another big trip next year and trying to find my girlfriend her own sled to ride!

The past several years instead of summerizing them I mix plenty of SeaFoam into the gas and take them out once or twice a month and water-skip my ponds. I'll also be doing some maintenance this summer as well, but if I had them summerized and in the trailer I would open the trailer and check on them a few times over the summer and customers always want to see them when they see all the snowmobile stuff I have.

Miles Last Season: not sure
Miles This Season: not sure

during the summer i fog the engine, then drain the carbs, and drain the gas in the tank, then i inspect the machine and make mental notes on what parts i need to get. sometimes every fourth of july i go water skipping, but that's just when i feel like it. i'm not sure if i'm gonna do it this year, i was thinking of trying this slough behind my house. lol kinda risky tho, but my sled has had more power since i added vforce 3's last year. so just gotta wait and see i guess.

2003 Edge-X 800
Vforce 3 reeds, Powermadd Boost bottle, updated c.d.i. slp powder pro's, 1.25 predator track, fox racing clicker rear, rydefx center and skis, 1 in handle bar riser, specialty x can. 11.5 in cobra yellow tint windshield, and a sportech yellow tint lightshield.

I wanted to click on all of them except the last one!

My screensaver on My newest turning center at work, is 97% sledding pic's.

I've got it setup to kick in after 7 minute's.
I'll be working on the sled's all through the spring, summer, and fall.
New track's, bearing's all around, general clean up, and restoration work.

Can't wait for next winter to roll around, hope it's as good as the last one was.
I was able to put on around 800 of My almost 1300 mile's without having to trailer the sled's anywhere.
