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