In my experience any sled can be a winner or a loser. I've been up north when all the fan-cooleds had their hoods up do to overheating on 35 to 40 degree days and when there was just minimal loosepack on the trails the liquids had problems. If you have carbs they need to be jetted for the conditions - but most never touch them and just luck out. I know it's a pain but stop and check your plugs condition once in awhile if you suspect problems. It's like taking your kids temperature.
If I don't have enough snow to kick up for my sleds heat exchanger and lubricate the sliders I don't go out.
I don't know anything about HKS but just be glad those idiots that owned the Arctic Cat/Polaris dealership in Ossipee where Canoe King now is are history. I was in there one day to buy a belt and 2 ladies came in to buy a brand new 2-up machine. The owner was too busy bs-ing on the phone with a buddy to even talk to them. I sent them to Rochester Motor Sports where they bought a new Arctic Cat tourer.
