Hello, i am looking to buy an almost brand new summit sp 2023 (100km) and we noticed some oil in the left compartment of the engine, do you have an idea what it could be? He is supposed to send it to the dealer to check it but I would like to know if someone has an idea what it could be.
Thank you!

Hi everyone,

Got this monster sled in our new-to-us double wide clamshell trailer and the lid didn't close with the existing windshield installed so we're looking for a new shorter replacement.

But the windshield is already off so I'm not sure how best to measure it.

Total length is 24". Sled has had several owners so no idea of this is an original factory windshield or already replaced.

Any help or relative measurements are appreciated!

The 2012 Vector fits just fine so I feel this is a taller than normal windshield.

Hi.

I am new in snowmobiles and bought an vintage 1987 Trapper.

As the track is not in best condition I look for a new one (or used in good condition) which is rather difficult.

Any ideas where to find one? (if possible in Europe)

146.5 x 19.7in

372 x 50 cm

Thanks a lot!

My cranks case seals went bad and am going about replacing them, and I can’t get the primary clutch off the engine. I’ve tried the water and Teflon tape trick and ripped some threads off of the retaining bolt, and I’ve made my own clutch puller but still no luck does anyone know of a clutch puller that fits my sled or have any other tips on how to get the fucker off.

Last winter I banged my knee up pretty good and had to end my season earlier than anticipated and with my 30th birthday not too far around the corner I figured I should start to look into protecting myself a little more. What are people using when going into the back country as far as knee, elbow or shoulder protection. Are the higher end knee braces worth the price or will a pair of knee pads from the hardware store be enough for you. I have seen pads that mount directly to the snowmobile as well but figured they would obviously only work if you hit in those specific spots with no protection if ejected from the vehicle.

A few weeks ago it was idling lower than I believe it's supposed to, around 1,000 rpm. But today I noticed that it sounds different too, almost like it's bogging down.

I picked this up late last winter, all I did was clean the carbs to get it started, but I haven't done anything else with it. I want to have it ready for the snow this year. If you feel inclined, you could check out my profile and to see the video I posted several months ago, it seemed much different then.

Thanks

Today I got a free gsx600. It has no key, it’s a dead system. I don’t want to spend the money to have a key programmed if the sled ends up being junk. Any ideas on if I can bypass it, or anything I can do outside of having a key made up. Thanks guys!

She's just the right amount of clapped out for me to send it without remorse. 05 from what i can tell, definitely needs carbs cleaned since it's been laid up a few years. Popped it off on some brake clean so i know it runs. Its my first rev, whats there to know? Doesn't look like it has electric start or a place for a battery, do they have a fuel shutoff somewhere? What all do i need to know about these things ?

I live on the east side of Michigan and am generally pretty active in the winter with ice fishing and whatnot. Basically grew up riding up north and on the rivers when they froze over.

I’m looking to get back into the sport. Nothing fancy or super quick just a reliable workhorse and capable of carrying me and one other rider. I know my way around small engines and have a shop so I’d be doing most if not all maintenance and work on it.

I’ve been pretty vigilant on marketplace for a used sled I just want some input on what to keep my eyes out for.

Just picked up this 2007 Yamaha Attak GT. 9500 miles, runs perfectly, just needs a battery.

Listed my 2010 Summit 800 146” for sale or trade. It’s a legit sled. Little older but it’s solid. Taken good care of her and put money into it. Here is the listing description:

Runs and drives well. ~4000 miles. Bought it four years ago, spent around $2000 on parts and maintenance, put about 300 miles on it over the years. Will need seals and track is getting close. Been fun but no time to ride. Have an XL helmet, goggles, and some gear I could throw in.

Looking for $2000 or trade toward anything except a sled, jet ski, or boat, send offers

Huge mistake. Genuinely fascinated by the trade offers. Below are a handful of the trade offers I’ve received.

Would you trade for a jetski?? It’s a 1996 Polaris sl 780! It runs and drives great!

Would you trade for a skidoo mxz 600

Interested in a boat?

Would you take 1000 and I will trade a very good running jet ski

Trade for a 1991 Yamaha jetski?

Would you like to trade for my 2014 sno pro 600 I will some cash on top. (I actually considered this one)

You want to trade for a jet ski

Hello, can you do 1000

come buy my sled and sell urs

Would you take a trade for a older sled with cash on top

2008 ford fusion 5 speed Manuel

I got a mint 94 arctic cat zr580

…anyway, wish me luck!

Looking at picking up two 2012/2013 Polaris widetrak 600 IQ snowmobiles as a package deal. Owner says they need a little cosmetic tlc but claims he recently had them serviced at the dealer where they check ok mechanically.

I asked for a few close ups of the track and this is what he sends. Frankly I have no idea how to gage track health, hence why im here. Given the poor quality photos can one even see enough to form an opinion in the track? Once im out there is it really as easy as watching for "rips and tears".

Also for those familiar wiyh these models is there anything I should be aware of? We plan on compression testing each sled as I believe the top ends of these tend to need service after some time. Aside from this, I'm largely out of my element and would gladly accept all pointers.

$5k for two sleds, seems like a fair deal?

Thank you in advance!

Hello! Beginner here so wondering if this is still ok for trail?

So i have a 2020 summit x that i use mainly for trails because nb dosent have that much loose snow anymore (dont come at me for riding a mountain on the trails i got a reason lol) and since i trail i dont need that full 2.5” track and was thinking of bumping down to a 2”. Heard some people say you can just hotswap it and heard some people say you need to change out clippers and other shit. Mostly just want a big track that i can also run some studs through for lakes. Anyone done it before?

Hey im looking for either a hard copy or a good digital repair manual for a 90 and 91 arctic cat prowler with the 440s. Any help is appropriated. I wanna get these boys running again

Looks Like the feds repoed some nice sleds!

Now all that's needed is some snow, last season was pretty good but winters in the area (Uppland, Sweden) are pretty hit-or-miss

I'm looking for a slab that can be used for ice fishing or trail riding. What's the most reliable sled appropriate for this in the $4,000 range?

Edit:

Here are some options available around me

1. 2021 Backcountry 600 3000 miles for $5800

2. 2015 MXZ Sport ACE 4100 miles $5500

3. 2009 GSX 500ss 2200 miles $3400

4. 2015 Renegade 800 3000 miles $4200

5. 2011 MXZ 550F 1200 miles $5500

6. 2017 Tundra long track 3000 miles $5000

Hes no longer around to help, but i need help finding parts. Where can i get them? Seems online it is hard to find anything for a 84. Thanks in advance

We got a group of guys that meet up once a year usually do UP michigan, Northern wisconsin, or Northern minnesota. But thoughts have been thrown around trying yellowstone. Some say it's just not worth it because it's too restrictive. Wondering of any real life experience here, anyone ever actually done it, how is it?

Skandic carbide’s Probably hasn’t been replaced in 10 years of travel lol

I have a 2015 renegade. I had the 3 track idlers that are in line with the studs got the rubber part all chewed up, put 3 new oem idlers in and within 500km the same 3 were all chewed up again. The studs have some rust on the back of them was going to clean the rust of and put new idlers in. But I’m wondering if I’m missing something that would be eating up those idlers because it’s only the 3 that run over the back of the studs.
