will 05 IQ skis fit my sled?

will rev skis fit my sled?

does anyone have a flex ski that will fit it for cheap, preferably yellow?

i hit a culvert and need to fix the damage before i take my sled home, its over at a buddys house.

also, its not running good at all, loses power through ALL rpms, what do u guys think? i run silver for gas, and just put brand new plugs in. im gonna go through the carbs today. anything else it may be? my buddy says it could be the crank seals and i really dont want that to be the case.

the REV ski's do fit. if you like turning and dont mind a little darting try and stick with a single runner ski, if you dont want darting and dont care if you make the corner, go the precision way.

what do the plugs look like?

Why not go with the new pilot ski's?

maybe because they tend to break

Why not C&A, flexs are childs play compared to C&A.

Wow, i never knew they were having a problem. Sounds like it's only happening to some people and not others. I'll stick with my precision ski's. I don't find that they plow at all into the corners.

how about simmions flexi ski http://www.flexi-ski.com/

well, the guy who has the rev skis for me says its only a single carbide. i would like to have good cornering...im not sure what ill end up with. yet. my friend with the IQ said i could use his skis until i find a set that i will stick with. will they bolt up no prob?

the plugs...clutch side was light brown and fairly dry, the other side was blackish and a little oily. i replaced both with brand new ones, and the very bottom end, 4500 to 5500 was strong, but after that its crap. i am told to just clean out my carbs, i think ill do that tomorrow.

dobbs, those pics are of someone hitting something sharp and taking a chunk out of the ski, not the ski breaking. the ski's are damn tough, but you can destroy them. i would consider a ski braking a problem if you were riding and the thing snapped in half or something. not the pics you showed.

^^^What he said!^^^
That damage is from an impact.....not a ski breaking!!

dobbs · 01-05-2006, 10:34 AM

I dunno about you but i hit rocks, sometimes you can't avoid them. I never had a ski break.

If you had checked those thinks you would see that several people have had breaks in the SAME place with anywhere from 17 - 100 miles ridden.
