TOUGH DUFF

The High Sierra AT3 Sierra-Lite duffel has a sizeable main compartment with hold-down straps, two zippered mesh pockets and a moveable divider, plus a front loading zipped storage compartment coupled with a smaller zipped accessory pocket.

The easy-grip extendable handle and wheels will make a late rush at the airport less frustrating plus the molded base allows the bag to stand upright while waiting at the ticket counter.

Hidden padded backpack straps stored behind the zippered padded back panel allow you to remain hands-free as you throw this bag on your back to walk it up steps.

Grips, zips and fabric inside and out appear to be high quality and very durable.

The Stance Maxim Snow is Z1R’s premium snowmobile helmet, sporting Snell and DOT approvals as well as a lightweight polycarbonate shell.

These sexy skull covers are designed to be warm in extremely cold conditions and, because of an excellent venting system with opening and closing ports, are cooler when the temperature gets mild.

HOLESHOT: Post Duluth Rundown

There was a glow around the Polaris trailers as Ross Martin absolutely dominated Pro taking home both Stock and Mod wins at the WPSA Season Opener.

Following close behind in Mod class was Levi LaVallee on an IQ and in Stock Mike Schultz rode his way to second. In the Semi-Pro Brett Bender pulled rank and swept both class finals looking very much at home on the IQ racer.

This is a huge boost for Polaris and a great way to start off the season. With a solid factory funded race effort and a thirst for blood Polaris will be hunted by green, yellow and blue for the remainder of the WPSA season.

Out of the BMR trailer newcomer Ian Hayden managed to pull 4th in Stock followed by veteran rider and team owner Blair Morgan in 5th. In mods, Dave Allard scored the best of the bunch with an 8th.

Semi Pro finishes proved a bit better as Katejun Coonishish score second in Mod.

We expect to see big things from Ski-Doo in WPSA including the rumored mid-season release of the next generation Rev II in the Mod class. If true, look for Warnert and BMR to get hold of these limited racer-only sleds.

The first-round Yamaha Mod looked very R&D-ish, resembling the all-new Phazer. WPSA Pro Champion Robbie Malinoski lit the wick on the blue rocket and finished with qualifying positions 5, 5 & 6.

This is impressive for an all-new race sled; unfortunately it’s not good enough to make it to the final. Teammate Yuji Nakazawa ran 7, 6 & 4 in qualifying missing the main as well.

As disappointing as this is for Yamaha, Spirit Mountain is always a bag of mixed treats and in no way determines year-end results. Rumor has it a completely redesigned and totally new race chassis is on the way for Robbie and Yuji. Definitely don’t count these guys out.

We weren’t quite sure what to make of Cat letting Robbie Malinoski go. However with Tucker back in the game we expect to see some great results.

Team Green faired okay at Duluth with Garth Kaufman scoring a third in both Stock and Mod finals and working off the rust, Tucker managed to wrap up a 5th in Mod.

In Semi Pro Open Dan Ebert roped in dual 3rd place finishes. Mike Bauer pulled in behind Ebert and cruised his way to a 4th in Semi-Pro Stock.

AC didn’t produce a new race sleds this season. Instead Arctic Cat divvied up remaining 2006 crated Sno-Pros to the top Pro and Semi Pro race teams.

This not only allows AC to move all the overstocked race units, it offers time to prepare an all-new racer based on the new F-chassis for the 07/08 race season.

We think it would be cool to see Tucker on an F-chassis Mod racer mid season, but that’s just our opinion.

600 Fusion Heat Problems

Question:


I keep having a problem with the amount of heat coming out the foot peddles on my ’06 Fusion 600.

I remeber seeing a vent in Supertrax that was behind the left front shock. Can you repost that again?

Thanks and great mag. Keep up the good work.

Edgar Terry

Response:

Ed:

I know there were some underhood heat problems with the Fusion bodywork last year, especially on the exhaust side when outdoor temps were extra warm.

Apparently, the new bodywork on all 2007 IQs has remedied the heat buildup around the muffler. Sorry, but I dunno about any company making grilles for the plastic area behind the front shocks. We’ll post this and see if we get a response for you.

Here’s what I’d do in the meantime. Just drill about 8, 3/8 inch holes through the plastic behind the right side shock tower on the back of and inside the wheel well . Keep the holes within about a 4×4-inch area and you can cover them later with an aftermarket grille – even old airbox lids modified work fine.

If you decide to just leave the holes exposed and they’re not too close to the outside of the bodywork, any snow getting inside will go directly toward the muffler.

The idea is to get more air flowing through that side of the bodywork but you need to keep vent holes low so intruding air and snow doesn’t interfere with underhood air pressure.

Less is more here and I’d suggest adding a few holes at first and making sure it makes a quantifiable difference before going nuts with the drill. You should probably remove the muffler and drill from the inside out.

Also, before doing anything at all, you may want to check with your Polaris dealer and see if there’s a freebie fix for this problem. Hope this helps.

Yamaha Feeling Generous

If you would like to upgrade your 2006 Yamaha factory handlebar hookers so they deliver heat all the way to the end of the hooks, the same as 2007 models, shuffle on over to your Yamaha store and ask for the Handlebar Grip Warmer Kit upgrade.

In true Yamaha fashion, your dealer will not throw a bag stuffed with heating elements, zip-ties and a tube of gorilla snot across the counter but rather a complete set of handlebars with hookers and full length heaters (and new grips) factory installed.

Better than this, the price is stupid. Normally, pipes, grips, heaters and hookers will ding your bi-fold over $130 (USD). You can have the entire package for a measly $29.99 (USD).

James Bay Frontier Region: White Gold

James Bay Frontier Region: White Gold

Story & Photo by John Arkwright

“Welcome my friends to where the snow never ends. We’re so glad you could attend. Come and ride, come and ride.” Just a little ditty I came up with (a little help from Emerson, Lake and Palmer) while riding in Ontario’s James Bay Region in the winter of 1998 on the Gold Rush Tour.

The JBF Region is truly a snowmobiler’s paradise offering some of the finest snowmobiling in North America. Over 5,000 kms (3,000 miles) of trails are groomed and maintained smoother than most highways and by the way they, boast the longest grooming season in Ontario.

I first rode in this region during the winter of 1996 and since then the Gold Rush Tour, introduced in the fall of 1998, has turned out to be a Grand Slam! Now ten years later, it’s still going strong and is an absolute gem of a tour!

This region has some newly discovered gems to enhance the touring snowmobiler’s holiday. In Kirkland Lake there’s the new Hockey Heritage North Museum with many of the same features as the NHL’s Hockey Hall of Fame!

In Cochrane, get ready to add another half day because the new Polar Bear Habitat and Heritage Village will require some extra time. Plus, there’s a snowmobile museum as well.

Gerry Miller, our village tour guide who owns most of the artifacts here will take you back in time to relive history as you could never imagine.

Another must do when you are in Cochrane is a day trip to the Abitibi Canyons. The trip there features powder snow riding and short, steep pulls at sea level.

Two great places to visit in Timmins are Cedar Meadows Resort Wildlife Preserve and the Shania Twain Centre. At the Wildlife Reserve you’ll get to observe moose, deer, buffalo and elk up close and personal. Ever fed a moose? We did.

The Shania Twain Centre facility will take you from Shania’s early days in Timmins to her present day fame.

Nearly forgot to mention we had five days of incredible snowmobiling. We may have sacrificed some miles of riding by taking in these attractions but it was worth it. Do something a little different. Trust me you’ll be glad you did.

The JBF Region stretches from the town of Latchford through to Hearst, Ontario. On this trip we only rode the eastern portion of this region and there’s another four days of world class riding through Smooth Rock Falls, Kapuskasing and Hearst.

Aftermarket vs. Stock Pipes

Question:

I purchased an Aaen pipe for my ‘05 Super sport. I weighed both the stock and the Aaen and you do save 15 lbs.

Aaen claims a 6 hp gain at the stock rpm. What are your thoughts on this change?

Mike Rohwedder

Response:

Thanks for your email!

I have no disagreement with your conclusions on the weight saving of the pipe you’ve purchased. Can you imagine if the OEM’s went to all-aluminum silencers? This kind of weight saving would be available across the board – maybe even greater in higher output models.

The claimed increase in power will be calculated on an engine which has been jetted properly. You made no mention of this in your question but I will comment.

When you add an aftermarket pipe you must verify jetting. The pipe is producing more power as a result of allowing the engine to scavenge more efficiently – thus – you will need to immediately up-jet and then do some plug readings to verify your changes.

Aaen is a solid aftermarket pipe builder with a good reputation. I would be surprised if they don’t have jetting recommendations for this application. In any case, re-jetting is not optional.

Verify the builder’s jetting recommendations before you pull the trigger.

Thanks,

Motorhead Mark
