Great video all around. I am guessing you are in Manitoba? I just snowchecked one for next winter (hope for some snow!) and I chose the blue colour but a little nervous about that choice. I will definitely put the winch on the front (probably not for trail riding...). I got the Turbo R. I know it doesn't make sense really but I had to. Hope we meet up on the trail or better, back country.

Thanks, I am in MB. I am guessing you were not able to get out to breezy bend to look at the colours in person. Winch makes sense and I get the turbo desire. I do hope you get more snow than I got my first year. You got better terms on your snow check this year! I recognize other expeditions on the trails so it’s a possibility!

One small correction, the 7.8" gauge is the color display. Yours is the 7.2". There's also a 4.5" on the LE and the Xtreme that looks similar to yours but smaller. Also the 10.25" is also color but it's specific to the G5 sleds...can't put it on the Expedition because it's still on G4 plastic.

And the display. its the same. but your´s is wider cuz you have more functions than i do on my Lynx XTerrain 2020. Well i have learned it is registered with the Swedish "DMV" in dec 2020 but its a 2021 model.

I am sure they share many common parts or at least designs. They have started to offer more lynx brand items over here as well. I am not positive but I think the expedition was based on a lynx model originally. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I like that they added gps to the colour gauge package and made it backward compatible for 2025. Not that I ordered that package anyway! 😂

Oh baby nice ride! That is quite the machine- I would love to have an expedition or skandic. And the 4 stroke motor must be killer- probably incredible longevity. I think going no turbo is smart. Turbo's are fun but certainly add a level of complexity and potential issues. I subscribed and will check out your adventures!

When I redo the hood, maybe in the summer, I will probably take it to a local auto stripe place and see if they can make the set up from the other side and the mostly good one.

@alphawhiskyadventures
@alphawhiskyadventures 5 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment. My advice is get the service manual for your model. It has so much information and help. Secondly, the actual tools work better, things like clutch tools and flywheel removers. You can improvise but I am finding it’s less than perfect. Parts are hit and miss. Try the swap meets and used dealers in your area or on local marketplace. EBay can be a source but they can be pricey. Know what they should be worth and try not to overpay. Patience saves you money.

There is somewhere a service manual posted. Search for the model year or near it. I don’t have the link but I did print it and I show it in my videos. For fuel. Clean the tank to the carb.

@alphawhiskyadventures
@alphawhiskyadventures Жыл бұрын
If you have a mikuni VM34 carb in it the factory jets from the 1987 super jag service manual are: main jet 300; pilot jet 22.5; and needle jet Q-0 (166). They specify that this is for low altitude so you should qualify! Try to get your hands on a service manual for the years you have, you will be able to determine if a manual is close to your model or not. Once you know what your factory specs are you can check which jets are in your carb and change if needed. I would also look on Facebook or the searching older forums for info as well. So many smart sled guys on YT that if you search about jetting for your carb model you should be able to get the theory and then it’s just ordering the parts kit. Thanks for the comment - I will check what’s in my carb next time I pull it apart.

Length and number of people. Currently, Quetico is $13.25/adult per night. For six of us for six nights it added up. We also spent one night in Dawson creek campground. Thanks for the comment. This was a bucket list trip for many of us and planning took a lot of emails and time. The route was selected to highlight most of the major attractions in the northern part of the park. I used a number of books and websites to plan the route. A book by Robert Beymer(spelling?) was invaluable to plan the route. Websites helped with current campsite data and portages. Finally we got first hand updates from park staff when we checked in for our permit.
