even on some trails, if the lugs on the track are to big it can overheat. need that loose snow to cool it down.

yep. they have what they cal ice scratchers that will toss up snow into the track area for people who have overheating issues. they work great. ill probably grab some for this winter if i plan on riding trails at all.

Man these things came a LOOOONNNNGG way since I sat my sorry ass on one, lol. Like 20 years ago I rode on a 600cc one with leaf springs on the front and I think that unit was a 70's model.

The pull cord on this was actually a metal cable instead of rope and it always broke.

yeah i cant see metal lasting that long in the form of a pull start cord lol.
our old 83 is rope, but the recoil is so screwed up when you pull it, you gotta whack the canister its in to get it to recoil back so you can pull it again.
that thing is soooo messed its not even funny lol
