How Much Mechanical Sympathy Do You Have?
How do you store your sled?
1. In a field. Hey man, squirrels need somewhere to live too
2. I built a little tent out of some 2x4s and a tarp
3. Heated shop kept at exactly 19˚C and 45% humidity
4. Covered, in an open shed
5. Only six months 'til riding season, it can stay in the back of the truck
Trees are:
1. When I go to the arcade, I only play pinball
2. I stare at them and they call to me, but I will not be intimidated
3. To be avoided at all costs
4. For traction
What's your stance on parts and accesssories?
1. Lightweight mods from the aftermarket are the way to go, and they're often cheaper than OEM replacement parts
2. I named my kids "Carbon Fiber" and "Titanium"
3. Zip-ties will fix pretty much anything!
4. I just love my OEMs PG&A catalog! It's got everything I need!
At the trailhead, you:
1. Let your sled idle for 20 minutes while you get ready
2. Bring your sled up to the manufacturer suggested operating temp
3. Smash yesterday's ice off the tunnel with a tire iron
4. Flash your sled up and immediately tear ass up the trail at 120
What do you carry for tools?
1. Bolt cutters and something to scratch the VIN off
2. I have a customized toolkit I put together myself
3. I have a guy who carries my tools for me (aka you are Chris Burandt)
4. Only what came with the sled
5. A tow strap and the number for the helicopter company
What type of oil do you use?
1. Your snowmobile OEM brand
2. The cheapest shit you can find at the gas station
3. Whatever's on sale at Lordco
4. A premium synthetic from an aftermarket brand
How does your maintenance schedule look?
1. Say what? Come again?
2. When something breaks, I fix it promptly
3. The OEM suggested maintenance schedule isn't nearly comprehensive enough! I've personally torqued every nut and bolt on my sled
4. I dunno, I pay my dealer good $$ to take care of that for me
5. That's the next guy's problem once I roll back the odometer and flog it on Mountain Sledder Swapmeet
What type of fuel do you run?
1. VP Racing C12 to prevent detonation
2. E85 works just fine, I don't see what the big problem is
3. Purple gas is 10 cents cheaper, bro!
4. As specified in my operator's manual, 91 octane
