  • Another call from Lenn meant another trip up to Pittsburg right after the Superbowl. Trails were a little thin and icey but can't complain about riding on a Monday! The 650 ran like a champ all day until the last 5 miles, some small issues that were remedied but still has me thinking...is it time to swap this engine out for something a little better!? Watch along, listen to my thoughts and throw your opinions in the comments on what I should do with this chassis!

    just left Pittsburg NH, I was there Feb 18th-23rd and absolutely phenomenal. Saw your video a few weeks ago did some research and drove up there from just outside Buffalo NY. Thanks for your content! Amazing trip!!!!!!

      This makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for commenting in here and letting me know. Honestly I'm very glad this vid helped you out and got you up there on the snow. It does bum me out a bit my content is lagging about a week behind, but it's just the way it has shaped up with the work/life/channel balance. Regardless, thank you for reporting in and taking the trip to support the area. Feel free to reach out to me at munsonmotorsports@gmail.com anytime to ask about conditions, I may not know exactly, but I can try to find out haha

    I agree its been amazing what the clubs have salvaged out of this terrible weather. its looking really grim now, but we can always hope for a huge storm to bring some riding back.

    I noticed in your Island Pond video and this you do a great job of being hard right on blind left turns and up and over hills. That orange stripe jacket guy and the other dude you passed are all over the place. Over the center mark on blind spots. Sorry but I had to mention it. You’re not only faster but safer.

    • @MunsonMotorsports

      Thank you for the good words, I do my best to ride right while at pace. Having the sleds really dialed in to my preferences and theories certainly does help a good bit

    I concur, leave it alone, the 650 content is fantastic. There’s already other guys doing the 9r swap. It’s cool seeing the small block dominate in the twisties. Maybe show us what can be done to maximize the 650’s performance.

      That's my problem hahah! I can't leave anything alone 😵‍💫....As for the temps, I have no idea how the 650 ran so cool, it has always been cold blooded compared to any other rig in the group. The others in the group all had scratchers but I don't have them nor did I need them, somehow.

    Repeated broken porcelain on plugs means the engine is detonating. Fuel or tuning issues.

    • @MunsonMotorsports
      @MunsonMotorsports  5 місяців тому

      I would normally agree without hesitation, but I had one plug insulator break on two separate machines, my N/A 650 and my Boost Assault. Both on different fuels (both pump 93 but when the issues arose fuel was from different stations) and stock tunes. The 650 never threw any DET codes (doesn't mean it didn't have any knock events), the Boost threw codes after the insulator broke. Both broken plugs were from the same box of 4 so I'm assuming the box had been dropped or there's a bad batch. First time seeing this in 5 years running these plugs, that said we'll see if the issue continues!

    I like that snow flap extension! Any suggestions on how to address stripped out threads on the rear grab bar for the screw through the aluminum plate that comes up from the bottom?
    A ton of clapped out trails in The Forks last weekend and my bolt stripped out the threads on my grab bar and now my flap is flopping all over the place.

    • @MunsonMotorsports
      @MunsonMotorsports  5 місяців тому +1

      The best I've been able to come up with is either size it up from M6x1.00 to M8x1.25, but you don't have much meat there for that. Alternative I've done is drill and tap a new M6x1.00 hole in one of the two other holes off to the sides, again, not much meat to work with there. You could also look into using some rubber straps like the snocross guys do/did to hold their flaps up!

    • @MunsonMotorsports
      @MunsonMotorsports  5 місяців тому

      I run strictly Klotz in my sleds. I've heard good things about Mystik, some folks love the Amsoil stuff. Pretty much any of them will lubricate just fine, how you ride will determine which one best suites you as I've seen/found certain oils respond better to certain conditions strictly in regards to exhaust valve cleanliness. Klotz works the best for me so that's what I've stuck with.
