lol I am gonna jump back on topic here and say yes I do ride snowmobiles...however I dont have very good ones...I think they are like '82 or earlier artic cats. I have riden my uncles 700 yami though and it flies. I hit 70 across a field and I was not 100% sure where all th bumps and stuff were so I backed off. Ill argree that sleds have less of a detuned engine then a quad (detuned not less power)

 

Well, looks like we are finally gonna get some snow up here. Supposed to start snowing today
and continue through tonite and into tomorrow. Now the only question is, do I ride, or do I sell???

 

Front brakes on a sled???? how would that work??? why would you want that , you would kill yourself think abou it

 

I got a SRX 700. Theres a pond right next t my house too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] but i wish there was more snow for the trails![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

YAMA HA HA HA HA DONT MAKE ME LAUGH

 

if that is directed toward me that is the fastest I have gone outside of a car...and that is the newest (not the best) one where we ride... If I had my choice I would be riding a firecat

 

Heck, you guys outa be lucky you've got brakes at all. My 1980 Arctic Cat Lynx doesn't have any. Oh well, I don't need them much anyway. Not like the thing goes all that fast. It only has a 270cc twin cylinder 2-stroke engine in it. I would love to have one of the new Arctic Cat's, but since I only get to go riding about 2 days a year (If I'm very lucky), it isn't worth it.

 

Heh that's funny, I've got a 1980 Ski-Doo Citation. 270cc single. I wonder if a 270 twin produces more power.

Anyways, my friend and I were out sledding today. We tried to find places to open up and we really couldn't. We made a trail up to a lake that's on my land and we made a trail across it. I only got the machine up to 110Km/H across it and I've got a 583. He got his Formula S 380 up to about 110KM/H as well. Across our field, he got it up to like 100 and I can get mine up to 100 and it really sucks cause my engine is bigger. But I remember some guys telling me that a 600 MXZ and an 800 MXZ pretty much have the same top speed, except that the 800 only get's there quicker. I think it's the same with comparing the 583 and the 380. If that's the way things work, then I would like to get a smalelr sled because all that power under the hood doesn't really matter. I think a 440 would be nice. If my friend and I raced, I would beat him but if I gave him like a 2 second head start, I think it would be a while before I passed him. I can't wait to get my sled onto a packed trail so I can open it up on a stretch.

 

fidge1- My yamaha has def. been the best out of my group. (arctic cat, polaris, ski doo) Somebodys else always seem to have a problem but mine always starts right up and runs perfect! Oh and mine dosnet get stuck as easy.

 

Do you have one carb on your sled? My citation starts up soooo easily it's not funny. We've been using the same plug in it for the past 2 years I guess and it has never fouled. But I had to take the plug out and put it in my Mach 1 and now we're gonna need to buy another spark plug.

So guys what plugs do you use in your sleds? BR9ES or BR8ES? The dealer always puts in BR9ES's but I prefer the 8's because they seem to produce more power and start better.
