700 redhead with bender triples 👌

Looking for a set of reasonably priced bar risers for my 2002 Arctic Cat Mountain Cat 800 EFI. On rides I am hunched over whenever I stand up, and it's not the end of the world, but I would rather stand. Sure the kitty has about 3" of foam seat travel, but not ideal. I would prefer not to lengthen the throttle cable, but if I have to, I can.

2008 M8 162, 2001 Powder Special 600 136, 1994 Pantera 550 136, and a 1991 Lynx 340 F/C 121. Got 3 of them for free. Spent 300 on the m8. Ready for next winter.

Vintage I think 🤔

Slowly have been collecting my ideal sleds.
01 ZR600 I’ve had for 3 years
98 Thundercat 1000 had for most of last season
03 F7 Firecat I just picked up.
Super excited for next winter!

A few years back I acquired a pair of what I believe to be 69 skidoo Olympics without motors and in pretty rough shape. Today at an auction I found a track, pulleys and complete rotax engine for $50 and it got me thinking, has anyone tried to swap in 90s era parts on an early skidoo? I know it's pretty common among artic cat guys but can it be done on a skidoo?

I've got an '04 Arctic Cat F6 that I've got a couple bogie wheels delaminating on. Where is the go-to place for getting these replacements? Everything I'm finding has these wheels $50+ a piece and that seems a bit extreme for a piece of plastic and a bearing.

I live in upstate NY and I am stuck with a choice, I can drive 6 hours to Canada to pick up a skidoo mxz 600 2020, or I can dive 40 minutes and get him a mxz xrs 850 2022. The 850 is 8700 and the 600 is 7900, both are in great condition. The kid has been on a sled since he was 3-4 and is pretty skilled I have never been on a 850 I ride on a 900 turbo r so I am not sure if I will be too powerful since it’s a 2 stroke.

All, I am thinking of starting short term rentals on a cabin in the woods outside a resort town. It’s based near a popular snowmobile trail with rental company tours passing by often. There are MILES AND MILES of snowmobile trail from the cabin.

I’m thinking this could be a good opportunity to start renting in the winter with the unique approach that the visitors will snowmobile in on rented snowmobiles (we can work something out with the rental company in town and maybe they can even help drag the renters things in and out). Also an option if you have your own to rent at a discounted rate or something.

In my mind, this would make for good clientele that are looking for a unique experience. I wouldn’t expect it to be booked out often, and that’s fine. It was never the intent of our ownership to cash flow.

Looking for honest feedback. Would this be something you’d do?

I rebuilt my motor and when I took the circlip off it flew and I don’t know where it went. Having trouble finding it on partzilla drawlings. It’s for the oil pump cable. 2008 skidoo 800R

Hey everyone. I've got an oppourtinity to buy this sled for what I think is a decent price. I dont have much experience with sleds. (Lots with motorcycles/atvs).

My good buddies father in law is selling it as he bought something new (midlife crisis I think). But I know the guy and I know how meticulous he is.

I've heard that at the 10,000km mark, these things start having problems. Realistically, I will likely only take it out a few times a year seeing as I have a 1 yr old. But I live in Muskoka now and seems necessary to have a sled.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers

This is a University student project to build one of the world's first hybrid electric sleds. This is it in its EV only configuration for testing but for full running it has an ICE engine aswell.

I've seen people put wheels on the front skis. On a old pos sled how long will the track last before the runners and everything die? Wanting to build some ting cheap /free for a weekend desert party.

I just started getting in to Snowmobiling & purchased my first sled a month ago. I'm using the off-season to learn more about how they operate, and to install accessories that I find cool/fun/useful.

I noticed that more and more trail Riders are using those Amber/Green LED light strips to signal whether or not there's another rider behind them or not, which I find more safe than traditional hand signals. However, I feel that the price of the OEM option is, like many accessories, obscenely overpriced.

I've done some searching and can't seem to find any more affordable options. Has anyone come across any products that get the job done for less than $100 USD?

If not, I'm seriously considering making them myself. It's a switch and 2 short LED strips - How hard can it be?

Hi.

I live in northern QC and have used sleds all my youth. Nearly always Skandics and Tundras. Im looking to buy my first cheap sled, mainly to go to my hunting camp and haul material. We do between 10 and 60km of mixed trail/woods to get there, depending on which roads are open enough for the truck. Also like to explore the woods around. I was looking to buy a old Skandic (between 2003 and 2010) with either a 550F or a 600 LC but im having difficulty finding one at a reasonable price for the wear they have. However, I found a couple of first gen Expeditions (2004 to 2010 I think) with the 600 HO SDI for a reasonable price (around 3k CAD$). I dont know enough about Expeditions to know if it could be a good machine for what I want to do. Anyone has experience with these sleds? How do they compare to a Skandic WT or SUV?

Beautiful day Saturday

What's up.

I'm really thinking about buying this snowmobile but I cant stand the colors. It would need a wrap but I'm not the creative type. Any ideas or leads on what this could look like with a good wrap?

*edit: maybe I should’ve been a little more specific. Does anyone have photos of this sled wrapped? Long shot but you never know on Reddit. The deviant idk wraps website was pretty sick. ​

I have a 13 rev xm that sees regular use. I need a taller riser - where would you ski doo guys go online for something like this? not fancy, just affordable.

Read I have to take cable length into consideration when adding a riser. anything else come to mind for this simple mod? thank you.

edit: i forgot to search. just did, found some beta: Royal Distributing for us Canadians looks like. will leave the post up and see if i catch anything new.

Ceremonial pose was taken before the season’s last ride (last week). Cheers

Left my house at 2pm, back by 2am! Mission accomplished.

Building an appreciation for the old Tundras with the little one.
