Post by: Interceptor398 on July 22, 2017, 08:58:06 PM: These sleds went to MN a few years back. Rumor is some of them are sitting in a yard.
Title: Re: Picture of the week, here we go!
Post by: BornagianKawi on July 23, 2017, 08:06:51 AM: Can we ask, where this pic was taken? And where abouts Minnesota?
Title: Re: Picture of the week, here we go!
Post by: Interceptor398 on July 23, 2017, 07:36:27 PM: The picture was taken in Illinois a few years back. It was all for sale as a lot and sold to a guy from Minnesota. Several truck and trailer loads of Kawasaki stuff were seen enter the twin cities headed north. For a short time some of it was being sold on Ebay and other ways of selling stuff. Some of these sleds were at Princeton a year later. 4 Interceptors on a trailer! I got a phone # of the guy but could never get ahold of him. Last I heard a couple years ago some of the sleds are in a back yard in upper MN but a lot can change in a couple years.
Title: Re: Picture of the week, here we go!
Post by: BornagianKawi on July 25, 2017, 03:11:45 PM: That is a very, close to, story I have heard before. Never seen pics to go with it.
Title: Re: Picture of the week, here we go!
Post by: Interceptor398 on July 25, 2017, 07:16:29 PM: Sleds were in a warehouse and trailers for storage. A deep pockets owner was into Kawasaki and made sure the players had what ever they wanted. It was said that you could port the 8 port motors all you wanted. The power gain was small and the life of the engine was also small. The engineers at Kawasaki had the best of everything for building the motors so they are great just as they are. Anyone running these motors should run the stock classes and they will be very competitive. 4/6 was also taken "almost" to the edge. Sprocket has managed to take those jugs to the edge.

It's an "organic" garden, you can barely see the Kawi's thru the weeds.

Post by: Bowserboy on October 10, 2017, 05:42:19 PM: New to this site. I had a 1978 Kawasaki Intruder given to me last year along with 2 other for parts. I am slowly restoring it. It was in my buddy's uncles basement for over 20 years. The parts ones were in a barn that was falling over so they're in pretty rough shape.

Title: Re: Picture of the week, here we go!
Post by: Interceptor398 on January 05, 2018, 11:11:31 AM: So I ordered a new air compressor and it said 10-14 days shipping so I think I have plenty of time to get ready for it's arrival. 4 day after ordering it I see a semi pull up at the end of my driveway!! Oh crap, the ATV and the truck are both not wanting to start and help me get this thing to the shop. The delivery guy helps me get the compressor part way down the driveway and there it sits!! Now what?? The next thing to try is the Invader, it pops right off so there is still hope to get this thing to the shop door. I put 2 sidewalk scrapers under the front edge of the pallet so it will slide. I put a ratchet strap low on the pallet and in slow motion pulled the compressor over to the shop door. Worked like a charm!!

Post by: Interceptor398 on January 18, 2018, 07:32:12 PM: These 2 sleds were at Waconia last time, my question is can someone get the # of the Interceptor?? Most of the time I will get a picture of the tunnel but I missed this one.

Busted!

LOL. you nailed that one!! I took the sled out last night to play in all this new snow we now have. I think I busted out the drivers as it now makes a really ugly noise and does not want to move much. I tried to drag it back with the 4 wheeler and ended up leaving the sled out in the field. Too much snow to drag it back.

Update--- I tried to snug up the track and take a spin to the top of the snow pile. It was a no go and I barely got it to it's summer resting place. Something has busted but it's not the drivers. I won't know about this one until the weather turns warm. I was still working the bugs out of this one and I did notice some welding on the front swing arm. On a bright note I was able to get the 81 Invader to the top of the snow pile!!

Going to try and get out that way this winter Mark.

That would be fun. I am trying to decide which sleds to register for next season - probably two of the 440 Invaders - and hope to have a chance to explore some of the trails on the east side of the Adirondacks.

NY is considering a one-time registration and fee for sleds manufactured before 1980. This can't come too soon for me.

Post by: Interceptor398 on March 12, 2022, 06:36:22 PM: Needed to cut some firewood and had to think out of the box a bit. Seems to work fine but if I were to do it this way very much I would put in 340 gears.
Title: Re: Picture of the week, here we go!
Post by: Interceptor398 on March 17, 2022, 08:26:57 AM: This past fall I found a bear den on the family farm while cutting firewood. Later in December I get an email from the DNR saying they are looking for bear dens to survey and collar the sows. Fast forward to Tuesday it was survey day. There were 2 cubs in the den and I got to help keep one warm while the worked on the mom. For only being 6.5 pounds these little guys have some big sharp claws!!

It is going to be interesting getting back up on the pile and starting the sled. I am pretty sure I can smile my way thru it! ;D ;D ;D

Post by: Interceptor398 on February 12, 2023, 12:08:08 PM: Out cutting some of next years firewood. The snow was 20 inches deep and it was a good thing I was pointed down hill so I could get started moving after filling the sled. Plenty of weight in the sled and I was afraid of getting stuck in the field on my way out. Too much on the gas and I started sinking and slowing down. Overall it was a good trip to the woods.

We used his garage to do all the disassembly and re assembly. I will miss him.

Post by: Interceptor398 on March 23, 2023, 08:32:04 PM: This one goes back to 2007. This 78 Invader I nicknamed "Clumper" due to it kicking in at 6000 rpm and it runs really good.

Post by: Interceptor398 on March 29, 2023, 09:37:22 PM: I put the red sled away. Now the 81 will stay on the snow pile until the track touches the ground. Last year at this time the track was almost touching the ground.
