well it was cold out but decided to take the SXR600 out for a ride today.There is all kinds of new snow to explore.That 144 Cobra sure did not disappoint me today..from busting drifts,to Hill climbing the high River banks to River running in a nice layer of new snow.BUt because sled was sitting for the last 3 weeks in this blistering cold..after 30 pulls she would not start..so plugs out gas poured in..first pull massive backfire thru the canister but exhaust pipe stayed on..lo..next pull half choke and she is running.I always have idle hang after into riding for a bit.I keep turning idle screw down..still idle hang 2000 to 2500.I could really cut the idle way down but when it comes to starting again one day ,the motor won't be running fast enough..so I accept it(been like this basically from day one)
Funny thing happened today about 3 times after a hard run and then stopping and trying to go again ..the tors kicks on..weird..Throttle cable has enough slack.I choke the idle down and then tors goes away and I am gone again.
Other then such small issue's that triple sounded super today in the cold..and responsive .Got her up to 140kph on the river which is not to bad considering I am long tracked now..seems like I really don't lose any speed from short to long track.If the river was more packed I would be running 145 to150 kph I know..I am slightly over reving I noticed ,close to 8800-8900..wot..but if I hit the pure untouched powder and pin it..rpm is about 8500 to 8600 and I am cruising at 120kph..
Not touching anything on it,,just riding it hard as usual.Have to say now this 600 is way more fun then riding my SRX..can do a lot more stuff with it and not get stuck..the SRX forget it..
 
Try disconnecting the tors. Ive had problems with it on 2 of my 4 sleds so its been disconnected on them all. I always flick the throttle before a cold start anyways (Had a phazer tear off on me one time) . Never had a problem with the idle hanging on my 600 but I have with my 700. Im not sure if it was cause by a chipped reed or slightly dirt carbs but it doesnt do it anymore.
 
Yea, if most of your riding is in the powder I wouldn't touch your clutching either Blue. I have the same over revving problem on hardpack. The guy who set up my 8bu's set them up for hardpack and I was under revving badly when I took it into the fields. Had to put smaller rivets in to get it right. Can't clutch these things for both, clutch it for what you mostly run in.
 
Try readjusting your air screws for the throttle hang. It is usually a sign of being lean on your idle circuit.
 
carb's are all stock everything..fuel screws are out 2 1/8 but it always hangs...reeds are carbon fibre and them reeds are in perfect condition when I checked while cleaning carbs..they are nice reeds for sure.I just basically love the clutch response with the 144 cobra track,I am geared down 1 tooth upper because of the longer track..just got to hang on going down the ditch's because of the drift rows one after the other..took the front ski's straight up a few times and landing hard..nearly lost grip of the bars a few time.I have to go buya better pair of mitts.The ones I have are to big and it is hard holding on properly when going thru rough stuff..

passed only 1 bumble bee today as well..he waved..lol
 
love the bumps....ouch!!! When I finally hit the drifts that throw my ski's straight to the sky and come back down hard like 2 to 3 times in a row..then I will finally let off the gas or I will be off the back on my azzz!!! lol
