[Honda4trax250x]

yeah i ride an arctic cat ext 550 efi

snowmobiling is a lot of fun

[2000400EX]

Snowmobiling is what I live for in the winter time!!! :devil:
Like my signature says, I have a 1999 MXZ 600.:macho

[2000400EX]

here's another shot.....:D

[lars]

ah michigan i went there last yr it was awesome best place i have ever been to snowmoblie. trails are awesome there . and the snow gets real deep in areas :D how do u like the zx chassis handles pretty awesome huh :cool:

[killed300ex]

had an indy 700 but then i rode an edge 500 and fell in love with the fox suspension traded in the 700 got more than i had into it :D and bought a edge 700 awaiting delivery on it gonna clutch it and but a pipe on it as soon as i get it thing should fly! I love sleds they are so fun what else can you get in and have to hold onto for dear life cause you hit 120 in like 15 seconds.
killed

[lars]

thats true killed i wish quads hade power like my ski-doo :D i have owned just about every kind of sled out there

[2000400EX]

Lars,
Yeah the trails here are pretty awesome, especially in the U.P.!! The snow does get pretty deep there too. I love my ZX, it does handle pretty good but it's nothing comared to the MXZ REV!! Those things rock! I just wish I could afford one.

I agree with you guys about the power of a snowmobile, I wish my quad had the same power as my sled!!:devil: The first time I got on my quad this year after had rode my sled all winter, it was like "where did all the power go?"

[lars]

hey 2000 400ex have u rode a rev yet im thinkin i am gonna buy one this fall just so i got a good reason to go to the up of michigan i got a 2001 mxz 800 this by far is the best handling sled i have rode or owned :cool:

[quadfamily]

OK guys, promise not to laugh now............... We've got 3 John Deere sleds. 1980 Sportfire 440 f/c, 1981 Trailfire 440 f/c and a 1980 Liquifire 440 l/c. We don't get enough snow around here to warrant spending big bucks on new sleds but I wish we did!

[lars]

quadfamily it doesnt really matter what u ride if it runs its all good :cool: i used to have one of them liqifires in the day it was pretty kwik

[Honda4trax250x]

basically any snowmobile is good they all got power and speed (except for really old ones and kittykats and mini z's)

[Chanman420q]

Skidoo Mach 1 -- 1999, its got custom graphics, studs, pipes, and a clutch kit...... its a 500 double

then we got a yamaha SXR 700 tripple :eek2: stock but it still is really fast

the skidoo is a lot quicker but the 700 is faster in the long run and i like the suspention better

[TrickBlaster'03]

Yeah i ride sleds, last year i learned how to do no-footed cans, and a bunch of other stuff this year i am gonna bust superman seat grabs because i got a freestyle seat, and i ride a 2003 Pro-X 600, and the year before i had a 2001 Pro-X 400, the locals around here tease me a bit because they say i can barley see over my bars but o well! at least i can do tricks and do gaps and stuff, here is a pic of me the first day doing no-footed cans, i know i know it is a tiny jump but thats we built a ramp this summer:

[2000400EX]

lars,
no I haven't rode a REV yet, but I heard that once you do you won't want to ride a conventional sled again! I'd definately buy one if I lived in northern MI, but I can't justify spending the big bucks either with the little amount of snow we get here in southeastern MI. My buddies and I usualy travel to the U.P. to ride and we only ride about 1500 to 2000 miles a year.

quadfamily,
I won't laugh at you, I've owned 2 john deere sleds!! A john deere sled was the first sled I ever rode! I had a '76 Cyclone f/c and a '77 Liquifire l/c. Once I got the liquifire running right, man would she go! Although I sold both of them and bought the sled I have now. Some good memories on the old deere's though. Here's a pic of my '77 Liquifire....:blah:

[86350x]

I still have my old xlt special, its built up a bit. The winters in michigan these past few years have been pretty crappy. Haven't used it much, so buying anotherone wasn't worth it. If we get some healthy winters, I'd probrably look into an rx1 or a pro x 800.

Taking vacation days to go to ontario, and the up isn't worth the time involved just to get some decent sleading in anymore.

[Glow Plug]

Nice sled's guys i wouldn't mind getting one but no money and my parents think that there to fast :rolleyes:

[blondie69]

ooooooh my snowmobile is OLD:eek2: doesn't have breaks either....gotta get that fixed.....

but its a 78 kawasaki 340 i think :eek2:


some lil terd that goes on my bus tried tellin everyone that its a 97 kaw and i let him drive it all the time. and ppls asked me and i was like "WTF? HELL NO! its a 78 kaw....and i've let him putt around my yard with it" :rolleyes:

[300exracer]

Hey 2000400ex nice mxz!:D We have 4 snowmobile soon to be 5. We got a 1997 Ski-doo MXZ 670 with a dyno port silencer, jeted and dyno port rotary valves, 1997 ski-doo grand trouring 500, two 2000 polaris indy 340's. We might be buying my cusins 99 Mxz 600 and it will be mine:D My dad said he will buy it for me so i am happy with that. I love that 670! Its one he!! of a snowmobile its like u give it gas and it goes right to 100 in like 10 seconds and its fun to ride wheelies on. And did you guys ever here of the movies 2 stroke cold smoke i have all 5 of them and they r preaty sweet! awsome music!:D

[JLanphear]

I have a Mach Z-R 800...It's nice and it's fast, but I'm not a big fan of cold weather...guess I'm in the wrong state...

[400EXrider#91]

anyone ever heard of an srx 440 yamaha? my neibor has one that he is gonna sell for $300. everything is good. i rode it last year in the bilzard and it was fun and fast as chit

[speedy400]

yeah I ride my dad's
-2003 600XC (polaris)
-1998 600XC(I think) it has extended track and rotax 670 motor...:eek: its his MT.sled, the thing is insane, he blew it up in the Mt.s this last winter though:(

[infantry317]

I mooch one of my father-in-law's Arctic Cat 660 4-stroke touring sleds, nice ride, no balls. :blah: But I ride for free. :D

[TrickBlaster'03]

i brought my dads mod to wyoming this year, it was a blast, we stayed at bear lodge, anyone heard of that place

[RAGE]

Do youself a favor, DON'T ride any REV.
I went to the dealer looking around and buddy of mine works there. He told me I had to try this new machine they just got in.
Long story short my 2004 MX-Z REV 800 is on order.
God help me when the wife find out..:D

[Nausty]

lol, even if I had a sled I think i'd ride the 400ex with stock tires. We usually don't get to much snow and even when we do its a blast when we have other people with us on quads. Like we'll just go up to main street(i live in a small town) and just do 4th 180's or 360's and then we'll try doing all this stuff that looks like its from a movie when we try to park out quads next to us. Or in the spring when we might have a worm day it will melt a lot of snow and then freeze the next day so its super hard and it feels so awsome riding on hard snow and finding all the natural gaps and jumps.:D lol, I have so much fun on my quad in the winter and it seems like the snow mobiles get hung up more and are breaking down more and they can only ride it a few times a year.:confused:

[4TraxRider]

I've got a 97' Ski-doo MXZ 583 that I race in the winter. My brother has a 85 Ski-doo Citation LS, My dad has a 89' Arctic Cat Panther 440, and I'm restoring a 75- Pather 340.

[TRX250XFIRE]

I have a 98 Yamaha 700. Its not a jumper like i wish it was but its fast down roads and real smooth on trails. My uncle owns a Yamaha shop in town so we get good deals. If it was not for him i would def buy a ski doo.

[lars]

yeah SKI_DOOS rule :D :D :D

[QuAdRaCeR244]

I ride snowmobiles. i don't own one but a few of my friends have a couple nad i ride them all the timei n the winter. hopefully i can buy one once i'm not so poor;)

not bad, i have two 440 trailfires and a 79 arctic cat, and a 94 mach z, i want to sell the mach Z because like you said it's not worth haveing a good one in the snow we get in NJ.

[TrickBlaster'03]

i know, i dont know how to drive sleds :rolleyes:

Ya, I ride sleds a lot! I have an MXZ 700, says in my sig, no mods, it still rips though! 180km/h, I dont know what that is in miles, sorry. I have always ridden sleds, I will probaly get a Rev sometime, probaly the 800. We get a lot of snow here in Canada during the winter! I love Ski-doo, I wouldn't get anything else... Well maybe if Honda came out with something I might get it.

Running water on the sled is fun too, this year the first day I rode my sled to school the whole middle of every lake was wide open! It was scary at first because I wasn't expecting it, but I still rode home the same way! I love the feel my my sled so much! I will miss it next year, since I won't have a lot of time to ride, I will be in college.

Thats about it for me... :D

[300exracer]

Ya i just found this snowmobile forum. Here is the link. www.snowmobileforum.com

My dad has a 99 thundercat 1000, i ride it that thing rips, 172 woodys studs, clutch kit, and a bunch of new ****. I flew past a guy that was going 125 so i would say i had to be way up there:eek2:

[redrecon]

I ride a 1999 Arctic Cat zrt 800. I want to put a set of stingers and a clutch kit on it next year. My dad just got a new AC 4-stroke turbo touring.

Bear lodge is awesome. Just got back from 4 wheelin up there. I live close so just about every other weekend is spent at the lodge.

[Flip_SideEX]

1979 yahama 340- free hasnt be started for the last 10 years
1981 artic cat 500- 75 bucks at a auction and runs
1989 artic cat 440- 400 bucks no suspension on the back
1994 artic z440- 1200 bucks new clutch and studs

Have gotten them all in the past year along with my 400 and a blaster.

So for a total of 4 sleds and 2 quads my family spent: 5,975 :rolleyes:

[Toadz400]

I ride a 1973 Artic Cat 440 Panther, '73 340 Panther, 72 Puma (VERY fast, it's a 440), 77 500 Panther (Fast too). And a ton more sleds that are exactly the same.

Only one or two run good though...lol stupid old pieces of crap. Anyone want to trade all 8 of my sleds (yea I have about 8 of them lol) for a semi-decent one?? :rolleyes:

Yea Danny, we're awesome...we ride old sleds...except you got a newer one...*******:grr: .

Hopefully I'll pick up a nice ZR this year or maybe even a Ski-Doo.

[ReconRider25]

yea im into snowmobiling. like ridin sleds more then quads.:eek2: sold my sled tho....got same amount of money that i bought it for 3 years ago.....sold 1sst day it was at the road.:D anywho...i miss it but ill be havin a mid-late 90's zr or snowpro next year.:devil:

[xr50layke]

i like to snowmobile. last year i rode around a moto ski 377 twin. i couldnt believe how fast it accelerated on the dry ground and how much the snow robbed it of power lol. then his uncle brought over an 03 mxz 600, and i didnt think they had THAT much power, but it wheelied from like 0-30, its like a zippy motocross bike in the snow.

[86350x]

Wow old thread............

I picked up an 01 srx700 it has extended gripped running boards, revalved sx shocks in the proaction rear skid, ohlins clickers with piggy back resie's, usi skis, maximum performance roller clutch, widening kit, bender trail porting, cold air kit, v force delta 3's, 192 studds, handle bar riser, and alot of other custum stuff.


I did more snowmobiling this winter then any other I can remember. Love whooping on the big bore's on my sleeper 700 tripple.

[xr50layke]

didnt the srx700 win the muscle award

[86350x]

Yep, it has the fastest 1/4 mile time of any stock snowmobile ever made. They just don't have alot of suspension travel in stock form.

They last along time, get good gas miledge, handle great, and are in a high state of tune stock. That's why I went looking for one. I haven't been whooped by anyone yet, but there are faster srx's around then mine (800's and 835's) along with a turbo charged rx1.

Never got to race a thunder cat yet. I challenged one in st. ignace, but he turned me down. Machz's and firecat f7's and rev's are no problem.

[hondarider2006]

Picture of me on my old '97 Polaris XLT RMK. Amazingly I sold it for $1,100:)

Another

[THEbluYFZ450]

i have a ghetto 1971 panther 440 :-D and a 78 tnt 340 :macho

[partyboy300ex]

I eat sleep and breath snowmobiles in the winter! I have a 440 jag with DG pipe and other stuff she runs around 90-100. We also have to polaris 600 they haul ***. Nice watere pics above we do that alot here in iowa.

[skunk]

i don't want to start anything, but ya'll need to come out to the mountains to experience true snowmobiling. 3-8ft of fresh powder, impossible climbs, cornice drops, huge gaps, 11,000ft elevation. Bring a shovel! :D

[skemp]

The mountains are my true calling. I am out there a few times a year and intend to move there later on in life. Wow, old thread, but I now ride an '01 Pol 800. I have put some work into it; pretty nice sled. 2" paddle for the steep and deep and 1" shorty for back home.

Where you at skunk? I usually go to Dubois and ride around Togwotee. Pretty much all around Union Pass. In March, it was real set up snow, but it was nice because I got to see a lot of country that I wouldn't have been able to get to last year.

[skunk]

I'm an hour from the big horns, hour from the black hills, 3 hours from the snowies, and 4 1/2 hours from dubois. I mainly ride cooke city, west yellowstone and the big horns. I've got a 1150 cutler king cat (230hp on pump gas) 162" attack 20 track all the goodies. (not the pic i posted above. thats a 1000cc cat that says 800 on the hood. lol. the pic is from a 60ft gap jump. comin in for the landing) If you or anyone else from exriders is out in the horns in the winter let me know as I'll take ya on a guided tour. (pure powder, huge cornices, rollin hills, whatever you want) Less than 5 miles of trails.

p.s. if you want a good snowmobile forum go to www.snowest.com

[duffman10788]

ya, i ride an 01 z440 snopro. heres some pics of my sled and me carving http://krankkillers.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=268

[Scott-300ex]

oh yeah, snowmobiling is very fun, my brother 'n law has 2 and we ride them all the time when it snows. we jump and just hold them wide open and ride them on a little bit of water too


i've had it up to a little over 60 mph on a backroad before i had to shut down

anybody have theirs over 100 mph

tell us how fast you've gone

[BKex]

I've been up to 110 on our XC700

[ReconRider25]

ive been up to 80 with the 340 jag before i sold it. id say thats pretty good for it being a '79 air cooled engine and never being rebuilt.:)

[TRX250X]

I've had our Mach Z at 110 - 115. It's a fast machine for being about stock.

I've heard those srx's are fast, but will a stock one keep up with the mach's or not. Also, is anyone getting a new Mach Z 1000 this year. Should be a bad sled, and I bet not much will run with it.

[86350x]

Yes, if you think I am full of poop, amsnow's porta tree shootout results are on the net.

In stock form it whooped it, big moose evidently doesn't know how to set up an srx because they made it slower.

Machs are fast stock, but after you do some tuning they are really fast. They have almost 10 more hp then a stock srx, but still aren't as point a to point b fast. I have a canadian srx, I can burry the speedo at 200(It's in kilometers before the spazz attacks start) even though I geared it down 1 tooth. Not sure what a stock mach's top speed is. I like mach's too, but f7's and srx's are my favorite stock and modified machines.

[Scott-300ex]

you said you buried it at 200, i almost went to go change my pants before you said kilometers

[Rip_Tear]

I've had my sled doing over 180km/h but I have never held it open... I've never been anywhere where I could... I've been on the lakes but the ones up here are pretty rough, I was bouncing around so much at 180 I was scared I was going to die.

[DangerousDean]

I have a 97 cat ZR580
It has black magic pipe. and ultralite antidart ski's , big track...

I cracked the trailing arm though.. and its gone through alot of pistons and heads, so im getting rid of it this fal and getting a mxz renegade i think

[HiperEX]

I ride a 96 Arctic Cat ZRT 600 triple triple triple pipes, vforce reeds, reed spacers, 144 woodys studs. with 2600 miles not bad for a 96
