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