That looks G-R-E-A-T !!!! I love that picture looking out over a valley. I'm still waiting for enough snow to fly to get my project 96 XT6 out. Almost identical build as your except I left the GYT single on the exhaust. I went with a 1.5 Camoplast Crossover.

And by the way.... WELCOME !!! I do not recall of any current contributing members that are from France.

 

[JAPET]

thank you !
at the bottom of the valley, is the Lake Geneva with SWISS.
I ride between 1000m (3300ft) and 2000m (6600ft) , full moutain , no piste.
I wanted to mount a track 2 see 2.5,
but I already had trouble getting 1.325,
I had to move the entire suspension and reduce sprockets,
and the 1.325 goes just in the tunnel !
so , I shovel the snow , lolll
how did you do to pass a 1.5 ????
delete the tunnel radiators?
or cutting the track ?

 

[A couple of bucks]

I just trimmed the portion of the track that interferes with the tunnel coolers. If you look at the track, the lugs are stepped up in 1/4 inch increments. This track is almost designed to be trimmed with the design of the stepped lugs. If you expand the picture of the track, you'll see what I mean by "stepped".

 

[A couple of bucks]

I just looked at the picture above of the track and you cannot see any "steps" in the lug. So I went out and snapped a few pictures of the lug design and rear of sled. I posted them in my link above.

 

[JAPET]

ok , i understand , thanks !

Did your reed spacers make a noticeable difference?

 

[A couple of bucks]

I see that you have 18/39 gearing and 8 tooth drivers. Do you have any top end.

 

[JAPET]

this pictures of ride are last year .
I made the reeds and mounted and modified pipes and the set clutch advocated by AAEN same time last week ....
and I could not even test it because there are only 7 "of snow bottomless, this winter is catastrophic!
but snow is expected this week, I hope it is going to put!
I hope you understand what I write

 

[A couple of bucks]

I can read between the lines. If you've ever heard that one.

 

[devinzz1]

Took french in school for years and your english is better than my french ahaha. I love it when people mod out these ol sleds. Yours looks great!

 

[JAPET]

Thank you very much
I do my best, be it English, and modified my old sled
I hesitate to introduce myself because my English is very average ...........
but it is partly thanks to this forum and this is why I decided to introduce myself.

sorry but what do you mean by top end ?

question: I changed my 2 plug cap , and I saw that the wires are not very good too.
can we change just the wires, or does it change the coil with?
I try to unscrew but impossible ...?
thanks

Yes..

I have had ZERO luck with trying to replace the wires on the twin coil. I have on the other hand, been able to change the wires on the coils on the triples. Those are a one coil, one cylinder operation. Unlike the twin cylinder models that have 1 coil that handles two cylinders. Try to find a donor coil that you might be able to practice on before messing with your good coil. I messed around with my good coil. Ended up having to buy another one.

YA THINK!!!!! You are one lucky man to live in country like that.

 

[JAPET]

thanks...Hummm, I think it will stay that way,
I'm afraid broken coil at the disassembling.
for the top end , my speedometer is broken , I always ride off-road ,no trail (sled is prohibited in france , so you are a lucky man too , it's not prohibited in usa) and did not have space for the top speed , i want just climbing .....fun and fast , lol

 

[A couple of bucks]

(sled is prohibited in france , so you are a lucky man too , it's not prohibited in usa)

Prohibited........as in illegal ? Judging from the amount of snow on that roof, banning snowmobiles just doesn't seem quite right.
