November 2, 2017 - In conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Kidde announced a recall to replace certain Kidde fire extinguishers. The replacement program was initiated because certain fire extinguishers can become clogged or require excessive force to activate, posing a risk of failure to discharge. In addition, the nozzle can detach with enough force to pose an impact hazard. The product recall involves two styles of Kidde disposable fire extinguishers: plastic handle fire extinguishers and plastic push-button fire extinguishers.

Are you looking for some of the best gift ideas for the Yamaha snowmobiler in your life?

Whether you're buying for your husband, wife, child, family member, friend, or an alien, here's a sampling of quality gifts for you to consider to put a smile on their face.

I think we can both agree if an alien came to Earth, they'd want to snowmobile!

Yamaha Snowmobile Gloves

3. Yamaha Snowmobile Gloves (Men)

There’s no way that gloves can look cool and be functional, right? The Leather Gauntlet Gloves prove that statement wrong. The full grain leather shell construction and reinforced leather palms make these gloves durable and the pre-curved finger design allows for flexibility and dexterity. While Thinsulate insulation and polar fleece lining keep hands warm and dry. Available in adult sizes S - XXL.

Yamaha Snowmobile Bibs

6. Yamaha Snowmobile Bibs (Men)

Is the Yamaha fan in your life tired of big, bulky snow pants? If you answered yes, they need the Yamaha 4-Stroke Pant by FXR. These pants are awesome. They have a durable nylon shell, thermal seat inserts and waterproof lining providing warmth without the bulk. Also flexible waist/hip, back, and knee inserts provide comfort and range of motion. Available in sizes S - 3XL.

Yamaha Snowmobile Jackets

Does the Yamaha fan in your life love snowmobile racing? If so, the SR Viper Jacket would be a excellent gift. The race-inspired designs celebrate Yamaha's SR Viper. The jacket has a durable, waterproof and breathable nylon/polyester shell with a magnetic/snap front closure system and zip-out liner. The interior pockets are perfect for holding wallets or cell phones while the exterior pockets are fleece lined to help keep your unprotected hands warm. Available in sizes S - 3XL

Yamaha Snowmobile Boots

10. Yamaha Snowmobile Boots (Everyone)

A good pair of boots, like the Backshift Boots, are an essential part of any snowmobiler’s gear. The lace system by FXR and achilles support inserts ensure that these boots will be comfortable and a great fit. Feet will be dry and warm thanks to the Backshift Boot’s waterproof construction and removable fur lining. Available in adult sizes 5 - 13.

DID YOU KNOW AIR FILTERS ARE THE MOST OVERLOOKED
MAINTENANCE ITME ON POWER SPORTS VEHICLES?

Mainly, because they are usually enclosed in a box and out of site, out of mind.  Remember
to check your air filter on you pre-ride inspections, it may save you in the long run!

Need a new filter?  Contact Justin today at (231) 220-2101 

Did you know that you will lose 2-5lbs of tire pressure during the winter storage months?

If you ride (or have a loved one that does), please remember to check your tire pressure before you hit the open road. Under-inflated tires can be dangerous for you and your passenger. We use and recommend a mini air compressor from Slime to stay as safe as possible the entire season. 

We're offering them for only $42.95 until 5/31/15.
