Did you ride your snowmobile up during the day instead of the lift?Quote:

What a miserable trick, putting some douchy snowshoes on and walking up a hill with no means to slide back down.

LMAO!
That was a great rant.
:yourock:
Isn't the whole point of having a sled (for skiing anyway) to get away from crowds to get some?
Just hit a rock, bent a few spocket teeth and now I have to remove the drive axle. :mad:

UPDATE-
Bolted my sled deck to the bed yesterday. Took about 5 hours to do it right,
but now it's good to go, and it's nuking outside. :yourock:
Thanks for posting that, my buddies have been out and trying to convince me to go. I really don't want to fuck up my sled in nov.Quote:

The sprocket is the big toothed round thing, I smashed a few teeth on that. it will most likely be at least a few hours of wrenching plus I have to press the new spocket onto the drive axle.
Total carnage this season= $53
Time on sled= 3 hours

Rebuild it yourself, pretty easy to do, save tons of money. If I was closer to CO I would take it.Quote:

Long tracks are like training wheels, makes it all too easy plus the suspensions and tunnels are poop. I have just been riding sleds for a loooooooong long time.Quote:

AK4life, you like to get that thing in the air!
Didn't know Polaris made airplanes...

I've bought a new Skidoo 800 almost every year since 02 (02, 04, 05, 07, 08, 09) and I put several thousand miles on each year. Yet to have a single engine problem. I guess I am just lucky to not have had engine issues. About half of my friends also ride skidoo 800s and none of them have had issues. I do have to admit that I did own an 05 skidoo 1000 and it was a piece of ####. It was just too damn heavy. No engine problems, it was just heavy and cumbersome. But as far as the 800s go I have been extremely pleased. The new XPs are pretty awesome sleds and I have yet to see a stock sled that can highmark me (that includes dragon 800s, M8s, and M1000s).
You defintely have to consider the snow you will be riding though. If you have very deep light fluffy pow and not as much riding experience I would reccomend the M7 or the dragon 700. They are easy to maneuver and easier than an 800 to dig out. If you are an experienced rider an 800 is definitely the best sled in my opinion.
If someone on an M1000 cant highmark you they should immediately be kicked in the head and thier sled taken away from them and given to some one more deserving. This should be done especially if the snow conditions in the pics you posted are typical.Quote:

Agreed on the M1000. My thought on the displacment comment is maybe the smaller displacement will keep a noob from getting into a situation where they are not just stuck but also in danger of rolling/flipping all the way to the bottom. But this would only apply if it was while climbing. But in a meadow/trees, stuck is stuck.
Really? Is it that hard to understand that engine displacement is directly proportional to sled weight? Weight might figure in to work when digging sleds out all day. Do you not think that a light sled like an AC snow pro would be much easier to dig out than a Yamaha APEX 1000?Quote:

Yes, a bigger motor wieghs more but they also make more power thus increasing the power to weight ratio, but what in the hell are you doing picking the front of a sled up to get it unstuck? Kick some snow out of the way, grab a ski and drag that fucker over. Pack some snow and throw the rear end out of the hole get on and give it hell. Its very telling that your buddy cant highmark you on his 1000 and you actually taking credit for it because your sled is so much more bad ass, that tells me that niether one of you should be riding in the mountains.Quote:

Yet every year people buy sleds that they have no buisiness being on. The sit at the bottom of that very hill on a sled and somehow think that they can handle it. Its the dumbest shit I have ever seen. Too many times I have seen the outcome of this nonsense.Quote:

Like the skidoo 1000 I had... the power increased but the weight increased too much so the power to wieght ratio decreased. In most conditions the 800s would outclimb the 1000. On days late in the year when the snow was set up or windblown the 1000 would outclimb the 800s.Quote:

I have yet to really put my 09 800 to the test. It will be fun to see how the sleds do when the snow starts flying here in UT. I hope you guys are getting pounded up there in AK. I have always wanted to snowmobile there, it looks amazing. I have been there in the summer but never in the winter. If I ever make it up there in the winter I will rent a m1000 :)

Sled looks like it's in great shape.
A riser block will go a long ways towards making that a more manageable not to mention comfortable ride while standing.
MFJ&S, that is a sick looking Poo!
