    love my 128 !!! I'm 1/6 studded too with some suspension mods. Rox guards and my risers are in the mail ! love to try a 9r but my 23' still makes me smile. punch lights are a must for this guy as well. even have the same bag & I love it even though it was stupid expensive

    Thanks for showing this. I’ve gone between 121 and 137 for years and found myself more at home on the short rigs. Got my first now 129 last year. I think some of the long track popularity is just a trend that some people follow but have no idea what it means or what they’re doing. Of course there are those who prefer it because of its advantages and use it properly.

    • @JESSEJAMES322
      @JESSEJAMES322  17 дней назад +1

      Yeah the short tracks are fun and nimble. i personally prefer teh longer just for bump bridgeing!

    I love the videos talking about these unique builds and the advantages of them. Part of the reason why I wanted the storm on my 24 xc 850 137 isn't just for the track. It's for the different gearing that comes with it too. Got to ride it this past weekend finally and boy do I feel like I got a little bit of secret sauce with that sled. Lol It was hard to find a floor model with that track and gear setup!

    Hi Jesse and Bruce. Quick question not related to this video, but hoping you can help. I bought a used ‘23 SBA. I had the dealership swap from a 1.35” Cobra to a 1.75” hurricane as I plan to do a little more riding in the UP and wanted deeper lugs. I have no proof, but believe that they tensioned and aligned the track, but didn’t tighten the rear idler shaft bolts. One of the wheels jumped off the shaft and seemingly damaged the shaft. It was a pain to get it all apart. Is there a tip or trick to putting things back together without force?! I am NOT a sled mechanic. I am a RUclips mechanic.

    • @JESSEJAMES322
      @JESSEJAMES322  11 дней назад +1

      youll have to loosen the track to be able to get the wheels back on unfortuantely. not an easy way to get it on there with the track at its tightened state

    • @chrishedtke8670

    Im a short track guy ,I wanted the 9r xcr but when I asked about trade in on my 23 xcr 128 with 730 miles on it (didn’t even ride it last winter) they said 10-11,000 they would give me, the few times I did ride mine it would have potentially cost me up to 6,500 bucks plus another 12 grand to pay the 9r off, I was basically left speechless, so I clutched and studded mine and I would really like to line my 850 up next to a 9rand see and see if it would really be worth a 18000 it would have cost me to upgrade, most likely not.

    What are your thoughts on the Hy Gear Pro CC linkage kit? Is it worth it on its own with some re valving or should I go for the long tails as well? Should HY Gear do the valving or take my shocks to Bruce like I normally do?

    • @JESSEJAMES322
      @JESSEJAMES322  17 дней назад

      always send shocks to Bruce!!! well start there. The HYgear linkage works so well by itself (with valving again because its needed). Then add the longtails and that is the ultimate. just up to you and how crazy you want to go!

  • @andrewyoung8422
    @andrewyoung8422 15 дней назад

    Hey Jesse, have you guys ever experienced issues with the track clips rubbing the clutch side rail tip? Adjusting the alignment at the back doesn't seam to fix the issue at the front.. after reading the forums it seams like a few people have this problem and and it could be caused by a few things. Bent toque arm, drive shaft drivers centered in the tunnel ect. not sure where to start but the wear is quite aggressive. Thanks!

    • @JESSEJAMES322
      @JESSEJAMES322  12 дней назад

      I have not heard of that. If I was to guess I’d assume the drivers are off a little?

    What is all involved with putting the long tail springs on a 128? I imagine you order the light duty cross country torsions and have to trim them shorter?

    My XCR 9R is not broken in fully yet (300 Miles). It feels amazing and is very responsive, but I raced my buddies 2023 XCR 850 it is not quicker or faster. I sure hope is does better once out of break in mode. The gas milage is also much worse although each tank it has gotten better. What is everyone else seeing?

I tossed the springs in myself but took the sled to the shop for full tuning. night and day. google Accelerated technologies in buckhorn Ontario. give em a call they are super helpful and will give ya a part # over the phone.

      Now if you put all the aftermarket gear on it like this sled has, i truly believe the firecat would be the best for the 128” track class
