Ryanstones beat me to the post:) Hey that snowmobile/dirtbike looking thing is a Snowhawk.Those things are awesome if you are into jumping and snow freestyle.Pretty hard to ride though.

Great minds....

Good call steve!biggrin.gif

I was wondering how the heck you turn that snohawk thing. Must be a VERY sharp break point once you start to lean.

Yea they are kind of like a standup jetski.Real easy to go straight but turning takes some skill.I saw them at a snocross couple years ago and they were impressive with right rider.

I don't know why it happens, but mine had the same problem. Idled well then as soon as you hit the throttle it died (burbed, stumbled, backfired, all kinds of wierdness). Only in temps under 40. The solution....It is running too lean. You have to fatten the flow rate by about 150. Try that if he has the D&M kit. I bet it might solve your problem.

I agree with Derno completely, try adjusting flow rate and offset. My buddy's ran just like this once it got cold out. It was fine for a long time, but once it got cold and the injectors broke in it was coughing and only starting decently. Try changing the flowrate first if it's only coughing on the top end. This solved my buddy's problem. Good luck.

How do the front tires hook up?I seen those quite a few years ago.Now days most of the guys around here use fast trekkers on the front.I'll take some pics this sunday we usually have 250+ entries at our weekly races.

Yeah those yfz's were doing good but my buddy steve did great with the 400ex setup for mx with long travel. It was nice to meet dawzie and i also saw that cannondale sitting there with the plastics off. Next weekend ill be there again.

How many studs do you normally put in the tires. it gets nice and cold in maine, so i had mine studded up last winter to ride on the lakes and ponds. i put about 1200 - 1300 studs between the front and rear tires. i could hold 3rd gear wheelies on the ice. i think i over did it though, becuase the back hooked up a little too much to slide the back end of my dale. they worked good though.
