NOTICE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS (Dec 2024)

I don't typically share personal information, but since the hours I can be on the phone this season is limited I felt I owed it to our faithful customers to explain why. My elderly mother has lived with us for over 20 years with failing health. Since June 5th she's nearly passed a few times and is still home with us but under hospice care. Although two sister help as much as possible, her 24x7 care falls upon me at this time.

For those that don't know this, I typically run the business completely on my own working countless hours for procurement, receiving, assembling, manufacturing, sales, tech support, shipping, and all the other things required to run a business. I've done this because I like to personally help everyone and have never limited technical questions or phone time. It also helps me maintain quality control and know what customers need. Because of the time limitations, I've had my brother-in-law help with orders. The area that's difficult to cover right now is the phones where I receive between 20 and 30 calls per day.

The best time of the day to reach me by phone is between noon and 9pm or email me at jonn@obups.com. If you want a return call please let me know the best time of day to call you back.

I sincerely apologize for any frustration this may cause you, but I am continuing to work hard to get all your orders processed and shipped out quickly. I can process online orders much quicker than I can phone orders. Therefore, I process online orders first and as quick as I can so if you know what you need and can find it on the website, please submit it on our website.

Thanks so much for all your business, support and understanding.

Jonn (Olson Brothers)

CHANGES ARE COMING FOR OLSON BROTHERS DIST

When I started this business my intent was to be a manufacturing and distribution business. In order to get our business and products in front of customers so our brand would be noticed, I had to first establish a retail business. Through mostly word-of-mouth, I owe a heep of gratitude to all of those awesome customers that have spread the word and referred new customers to me. I never thought I'd run this retail business for 21 years, but I've loved every minute of it and the many customers that I consider my friends.

Since 2003 every dollar made by this business has been reinvested back into the business. Yes, I have not ever taken a paycheck! We now have a huge inventory and a shop of equipment to allow us to remanufacture most parts in-house that are being discontinued by Arctic Cat and other manufactures as well as creating new products and tools. Now that Polaris quit manufacturing the 120cc and Arctic Cat quit manufacturing the 120cc as well as the 200cc (that means no Yamaha or Ski Doo either), at some point replacement parts will be difficult to find. We are committed to remanufacture as many of these parts that will be in demand.

So rest assured that as long as Olson Brothers stays in this industry, we have your backs.

PREDATOR ENGINE PARTS

We are releasing the parts for the predator swap kit as we complete them for those looking for individual products. The first to be released is the Engine Adapter Plate and you can learn more about it and/or purchase one by clicking here. While the existing oem engine plate allows for front-to-back adjustment, this adapter plate allows for side-to-side adjustment so aligning your clutch sprocket to the rear sprocket is very easy. Positions the engine just in front of where the hood closes for clearance. Stay tuned for more swap parts soon.

Important News  (Please read our important news articles for up-to-date information.)

• Snowmobile Setup Instructions - I seem to answer the same questions all the time, so I quickly put together an initial set of instructions on how to set up Kitty Cats, Polaris 120s and Arctic Cat 120s. I will take more time to refine the directions and I'll try to add photos and videos as I have time. I hope this helps everyone get a quicker start to racing.

• Yamaha Engine Performance Upgrade Kit - We now offer a performance upgrade kit for the Arctic Cat 120s with the Yamaha engine. The kit includes an upgraded performance camshaft, valve springs, gaskets, offset flywheel key, and carb jetting. This will allow your Arctic Cat with Yamaha engine to compete with all the other 120cc brands that are on the race track and backyard. (ISR LEGAL)

• Installing Valve Spring and Setting Valve Lash - Please click here to open the instructions.

• Rev-limiters - Do valve springs still make any difference?
  • We are extremely disappointed in the ISR decision to implement rev-limiters. We've dealt with model difference performance since 2001 and there are other unexplored ways to resolve this issue more economically than to force every stock sled owner to spend $50 for a rev-limiter on every sled. There was also ZERO testing done on this before the 2014/15 season when these devices had to be implemented and they were not initially available for everyone until well after the season started. Our suggestion to ISR was to leave all classes the way they've been for 14+ years and just add a "rev-limiter" class for those racers who don't want to take the time to make their sleds competitive. Those wanting to race in that class could run in both classses because the rev-limiter has an on-off switch. Then the proper testing could have been accomplished without jamming this poorly planned rule change down everyone's throat. As far as valve springs go, THE VALVE SPRINGS WILL BE EVEN MORE CRITICAL. Just like the sprinter class and past chain drive classes, this will become a race to the first corner. Whoever gets to the first corner will almost always win the race. That's where the valve springs come into play. With our special ISR LEGAL valve springs, they get your engine from idle to max RPM quicker than any other valve spring on the market, thus getting you to the first corner first. Click here if you unfortunately need to purchase a rev-limiter for Arctic Cat or Polaris.

(Please note: We have a tremendous volume of inventory turn-over and there may be times that we sell out of a product before your order is placed. We are constantly restocking our shelves, but there is always a chance that we may have sold the last item and waiting for more to be delivered to us.)
