hoods up question

[minneman]

I would like to here from all who ride,
which kind of sled do you see with the hood up most while riding? (having problems)Cat,Polaris,Skidoo...NO Bashing Please!

In my experience, the sled with the hood up the most often is the guy who did not prep his sled properly for summer storage. A little gunk in a carb jet, add some water in the gas that turned to ice, combined with a cold morning and there is a good chance a piston will meet Mr. Squeaky.

The four major brands of sleds are so good now that with proper maintenance breakdowns are rare.

I agree with Giz. I ride a Polaris, but between all of the poeple on my block, all 4 brands are represented. The only ones who go "hoods up" are the ones who do their maintainance in January.
