- Having some steering play in your M8000? Here is a place to check.
Some awesome days with some great friends. Getting brave and going into the tight trees where the untouched snow is. Always have a blast in the trees! Starting to see some real improvement with the drone shooting. Just have to get a little more brave to get into those tight spots in the trees.

This is exactly what I love about this channel. Good sledding, maintenance and repairs all while keeping the videos interesting and keeping the video quality high. Can’t see why you only have 5k subs but I’m sure that will change.
Thanks! Along with the sledding and crashing, there has to be some repairs too!
Matt, great video. Very informative. I really liked your 2014 M Ltd. You schooled a lot of riders with it.
Outclimbed the 2016 with a 3" track at Frisby. Taught Shaunie a thing or two about tree riding as well. Amazing thing, besides ski's and can, it's almost 100% stock. Brrraaaap!
If I were to keep the sled, about the only thing I would do to it is put in the 2016+ front end kit. Not so bad in the soft winter snow, but in the thicker spring snow I could tell that Ben's sled could hold a side hill a lot better than mine could.
Syxxes Performance would you go 36" or 38" on the 2016 front end?
Getting one of them new purple cats I hope
Not sayin anything on my sled for next year just yet!
Was the same brake on my 15 replaced it with all new still just as sloppy what else fails and causes that much slop??
Had some steering play at Frisby last year when the mounting plate for the steering post separated from the bulkhead... Difference being my steering post was moving left and right not just the handlebars lol. Got her tig welded and riveted up and it’s stronger than ever:)
I could feel mine going about half-way through the last day, and I knew that the bracket was on the way out!
Mine had a bit of up and down play to start on the first day and by the fourth I found out I had broken A arm on the trail up and later that day the plate completely separated riding the ridge trail (which is pretty well always pounded out). Was a bit of an expensive trip but I replaced the old rusty upper and lower arms and got a beefier post mount out of it so it wasn't all bad. Hoping to get out after the caribou closures open up and enjoy some spring riding.
Going riding this weekend out at burnstick I hope. If the snow is good,if not there west of Rocky there’s lots of snow
Gonna see more snow on Saturday, last time I was out there was lots of snow, but it had hardened up for the most part- been cold lately though.
Syxxes Performance yeah I just got home from up north and there’s more snow here then up there. Gonna go scope it out tonight on my way back from Rocky.
That started at 2011 mine did the same thing had to tighten the bolts
Parts loosen off when you ride hard!
We just picked up a 2014 Limited ZR9000 SnoPro. Already had it in the air
ZR's are fun little rockets!
it looks like you live in a town close to me. those houses look really familiar lol
Good on you for fixing it up for sale instead of flogging it off broken.
I like seeing stuff leave knowing there isn't a problem with it!
Oh the two or maybe three sled flat deck drive on/off right outside the garage door there.
It's a 12ft flat deck steal trailer. Can't remember the brand name, but has the onboard ramp and is built nice and tough to do anything we need it to. I think it was bought in Leduc.
Good videos. Question for you..have you ever had issues with the telescoping handle bars staying in the low position? When I ride on the trail with mine down they end up popping up when I rip a wheelie. Any idea if they can be tightened?
Maine Trout Whisperer When adjusting your post, just push down on the tabs after adjustment. My 2010 HCR did the same thing.
Dean Sikorski I’ll try that thanks! I just picked up a high country so I don’t have much seat time.
I have seen the mechanism itself wear out. They are prone to freezing, which could be part of your problem. I know it has happened to me, where the mechanism has frozen open. I'm trying to track down the part but I know I've seen a conversion adapter so that you can change that adjustable riser to a solid one without changing out the whole steering post.
I'll be honest the adjustable riser doesn't do much for me. I set it to the height I like it and that's about it. It never really moves. Give the mechanism a smack down with your hand (Don't use a hammer) and make sure it is all locked up. You can also pop off the handle bars to expose the mechanism and pile a bunch of WD40 in there to help free things up. Units that have seen a lot of trailer time tend to get sticky.
Hope that helps!
We have old arctic cats and have had to rebuild two chain cases
That's why I like to inspect them.
How strong are the stock bar risers ? Is there any way to tilt them forward im 6.2ft id put cfr bars with the 2inch rise but i love the idea of stock riser just dont like how tilted they are towards rider
You can tilt them forward or back. I've only ever seen risers break if it also bent the handle bars.
Do you have a vid for the steering post bracket repair?

@@syxxes thanks. I found it shortly after i sent the request.
Question. What where you smacking on with the hammer and punch at the beginning ?
you getting a alpha one? the hardcore is nice also
Not sayin' yet!
Oooh. Youre looking into the alpha one i guess.
Never know! :D
What do you figure you will be riding next year? Alpha one?
Not saying just yet! But I have a plan in place!
Can someone help me i just got a polaris indy 1997 and it has play in it is that normal for the age
Most steering systems have play in them at the handle bars. As long as its not excessive
@@syxxes is it normal more play in the older sled cuz i think my sled has the same amount if play in it as your
@@syxxes like this is my first sled and i dont know much about sled i don't know if its too much play in the steering or if it's good
You'll have to check the linkage. I can't tell ya without seeing it.
I prefer cats more then plarious. I mean I just like the looks of Arctic cats and they perform the best. You beat them up like tonka toys and still run good. you put anything against cats they will do it.
In my experience cat's hold up to the abuse the best. Having said that though, I can't say much bad about the 2004 Rev I had either!
How many miles?
Matt, I have a build idea for you?? .....2018 M8000 Early Release, remove skid, shocks and 3" PC track.
Install a new Alpha One skid/track under it, aftermarket skis, and can.
Sell the new 3.0 pitch x 3" Powerclaw track and skid with Fox shocks, to one of your subscribers with a free install.
Many Polaris riders like to upgrade to the 3.0 pitch/powerclaw too.
New Alpha skid with shocks is about $3300 (less sale price of ER 3" track and skid).
Then you have a one of..."Early Release Alpha" :)
Arctic Cat was going to make a conversation kit for non alpha sleds, but they pulled it 3 days ofter releasing it. I however have my own plan for next season!
Syxxes Performance I didn't know it was cancelled :(
Yup. They shut it down 3 days after announcement!
This will be issue with all these with common front frame, there is repair kit wich reinforces known weak point.
Jari Peura this is the old mount. There is an updated mount which i talked about in the video
Haha I thought you looked familiar I was at ralphs on the 3rd and seen you in the shop while rick was showing me different models. Do you have any stickers for sale?
Yup! I'm a tech there! I have some stickers but I wasn't totally happy with the print quality of them. Got more stickers on the way soon, and have hats, and hoodies that we have on order and are going to evaluate the quality before making them available. Will keep you in the loop!
Where did you get the trailer , brand name ?
Which trailer?
How much are you selling your sled for?
I'm lookin to get around 6500 for it.
Can I buy your sled??????
She'll be for sale after I get her all put back together!
