hey everybody i havnt had much to say lately as weve been snowed out up here in calgary but the snow has stopped and the trelles are ready to go!! i thought it would be interesting to see how many people rode in the snow and see some pics.

i forgot to ask those who are riding at my altitude (2000ft) what are your jetting settings like? this is my first year off my four stroke and on the 2t so would like some input

I'm thinking about it ....
I'm currently gas gas less at the moment
But I could stud up my husky 144 ....

Well it is a Tropical 60 degrees here in Houston Texas. Those spikes might help to give us traction on our tree roots.:D I wish it was cold!

Just got a 2011 250 six days late last month. I'm riding at 800-900 feet above sea level and the temperatures have been 15 to 30 degrees F. I left the pilot jet alone. Needle is in middle position. Put a 180 main jet in and turned the air screw about 2 1/4 out if I remember correctly. Bike runs perfect!

Here's a picture from New Year's Day 2008. This coming new year I'll do it on a GG. I love winter riding!

We'e been riding here in Arkansas but not that cold yet. May have gotten first snow last nite but I'm out of town until tomorrow. Trails are burning in nice for our annual New Years Day race/ride.

I love winter riding and stud my bikes up. For jetting, my rule of thumb is to go up 1 size on the pilot and 2 sizes on the main. I leave the needle and clip position alone.

It would be interesting to see if the 144 would work good in the snow. I remember having my 510 studded up last year and I was thankful for the extra Hp in the deep stuff.
My XC 300 is studded up but I haven't been out yet. It's warming up and maybe over Christmas

Happy Holidays everyone.

if I didnt have to haul the bikes out to some remote location to ride... I would be riding more in the winter


hey Trev..where do you ride in the winter...Mc clean ???

last I checked here in calgary is 3800ft and Mclean is 5800ft ???

nambo-trev 12-24-2010 11:02 AM

hey troy, ya your right i dont know what the hell i was thinking at the time, your right were at 5800 and at mclean can get up to 6100 on my gps. we got in trouble riding at mclean last year as its closed as of dec 1(stupid) so we ride mostly whiprous and seak out for an occasional quick one at mclean. were are you at? we should ride this winter. hard to find guys that winter ride out here. we got a good group of 4 of us that LOVE winter riding!
