New Sled Stoke!

**Big Blue** · 09-19-2006, 10:01 AM

Well, it's not as sweet as Funken's new sled, but I think it's titties. '97 700 RMK with less than 1400 miles. Can't wait for winter. Sled + BDs w/ NX-21s = Fuck Yeah!

Nice mileage, yo. Looks like the bars are already raised, no? Which is good. Maybe put a powder strap on the bars....and you are golden.

Whats he gonna do with a powder strap (mountain bar) on that thing

maybe a winch

J/K it looks like its in great condition, this winter will be like none you've had.

**Danno** · 09-19-2006, 01:47 PM

mmm, titties.

**Kya** · 09-19-2006, 04:29 PM

Looks way too familiar. Good Luck dude

**teleee** · 09-19-2006, 04:32 PM

Nice!! Those are good solid sleds. 2nd the powder strap. I'll be down to Moab and you can show me around the Lasalles..

**climb2ski** · 09-19-2006, 04:56 PM

I don't know much about sleds... but blue is my favorite color. Way to go.

Yeah, bars are already raised. Will put a powder strap on (heh, I said "strap on").

The sled and I are tahoe bound for winter, but I'd love to make it to the Rubies. I think there's been mention somewhere of a Ruby Sledneck Summit. We should make that happen.

05 Summit 1000 with 159" track and 800 miles. Pending passing inspection. SO FUGGIN' PUMP'D!!!

**Big Blue** · 10-19-2006, 04:39 PM

Fuck dude, that thing looks like a fucking rocket ship. Enjoy!

That looks like a beast!

**AKturnanburn** · 10-19-2006, 04:42 PM

fug ya, ^^^ now your talkin

make sure it has all the '06 updates (fuel pump update cost $500+ and is required to run smooth)

otherwise these things are pretty much unstopable.

also before you start it make sure the fuel has been summerized the EFI is pretty sensative to old/watered fuel. ( I learned the hard way

)

**1080Rider** · 10-19-2006, 05:06 PM

That thing IS a beast. I've got the 800 and 600 in 144's. That 1000 is a crazy sled, I've eyed them but I don't know that I have the balls to ride that sum' a bitch.

Congrats Big Blue on your purchase. You'll love the sleddin'.

Didn't see this first time round.

I humbly offer my services to tow your trailer out there.

**jfost** · 10-19-2006, 05:57 PM

I've been lookin at an RMK 700... schweet ride!

**Johnny Sicline** · 10-19-2006, 06:31 PM

Just was riding my buddy's RMK 800 around, soooo stoked.

**AKrider** · 10-19-2006, 06:50 PM

thats a good sled to start with but i personally wouldnt spend to much on it. Your going to want to get a sled with a newer chassis or however you spell it. The rider forward is so much nicer like a REV but they all have them more or less now. I have found i Can do all the riding i want on a freestyle sled like a MXZ or MXZ renegade is a good all around.I really like Ski-doo as you can see. You can handle deep powder just fine witha short track if you know how to handle it plus there way nicer in the air. But yeah that 700 has a lot of balls it will be fun.

Thanks AKTAB. I'll make sure it's updated. As long as I can keep that pig un-stuck (I'll consider this the "toll fee" for riders

) should be a blast. Lookin' at putting a different seat and can on it and ditching the sway bar to shave some weight.

**wski** · 10-21-2006, 07:30 AM

I just bought an 50 1000 also, this thing is gonna totally rip. only 200 miles on it, all updates are done, simmons skis, fly bars, after market can, clutch kit, high compression domes, i was also thinking of taking off the sway bar, but think i'll waite till i ride it, read that one guy cut his off and then bought a new one to put back in, because the front end kept diving on him.

I'm in for a Ruby sledneck summit, theres a big section in Boondockers 3 in Elko and the terrain is unreal.

Obviously I'd be down for that. But i'd be on the rope tow since I'm sled-less.

**Mountainman** · 10-30-2006, 08:42 PM

Just picked it up today.

**frorider** · 10-30-2006, 08:50 PM

looks flexy.

wait! wrong forum. with kidwoo posting here, it gets hard to keep ridemonkey vs tgr ski forums separated in my head.

ya deffinitely get a can, the seat is fine and not really that much of a weight issue, also the sway bars dont make to much of a differance on the rev and are pretty nice on the long sketchy icy approaches. Really those sleds are such friggin beasts anyway, you can hardly feel 10-20 pounds either way especially if your doubling much. oh also I just picked up some more hood fastners (the stretchie rubber ones) they do a lot better job of keeping your hood on after the second roll.
