What is the easiest way to make ur snowmobile go faster.. let's say by 5-7mph...?
I don't know a **** about these things.. I have seen in Finland that Phazers can have changes the -exhaust pipe to a better..

Clutching, pipes, jetting, are some. You sure ask alot about wanting to go fast. Maybe just get a leer jet.

Easiest???

Go downhill

oh, and that stuff that SnowRida said will work too.

Frosty · 12-08-2005, 12:41 PM

You could strap a small rocket engine to the back, light it and hold on!

SnowRida · 12-08-2005, 12:46 PM

See, I told you!

Clutching, pipes, jetting

Can someone plz explain every word for me?

||AlpineStars|| · 12-08-2005, 03:16 PM

oh hell.. that was expensive parts.. cheapest like 400€.. no no.. i'm gonna bore my cylinders tomorrow..

skidoo_magoo · 12-08-2005, 03:19 PM

well, with clutching, you odnt have to buy a full kit. just play with springs, weights...pipes, they can get expensive. boring it out helps, but you need the bigger pistons.

benhaag · 12-08-2005, 03:21 PM

get a bigger sled

skidoo_magoo · 12-08-2005, 03:23 PM

not one of the cheaper options

i bored my 500 out and it performs well. my top end is hurting right now because my clutch engages at 5k. i like it though, especially off the line.

benhaag · 12-08-2005, 03:31 PM

i am looking at getting a sno pro 440 its formaly a back up race sled raced about 5 races and i was wondering if you snowrida would know how i could make it alittle more trail friendly like trying to clam it down alittle bit i don't feel like rebuilding every other year

BRPforlife · 12-08-2005, 04:45 PM

If you want top end an easy way is to change your sprockets, go up one tooth on the top and down one on the bottom. You'll lose out on acceleration but gain some mph on the top end.

buy a bigger sled......period

skidoo_magoo · 12-08-2005, 07:38 PM

ok yeah, thats an option. but obviously he cant do that or he would. lets not start this again...it used to happen all the time. people want to know how to improve their sled and everyone posts "buy a new one." not much help.

letitsnow · 12-08-2005, 08:16 PM

i realy don't want to sound like im saying buy a bigger sled, but maybe a bigger motor?

you wanted definitions for some words

1.)piping: an aftermarket exhaust pipe

2.)jetting: changing the jets in the carburator

3.)clutching: changing the weights and springs in the clutch system

4.)gearing: changing the gear ratios in the chaincase

benhaag · 12-09-2005, 02:49 AM

yeah but we are talking about a 80 somthing polaris 500 is it liquid cooled? even your probily only putting like 70 some horses out and you gotta figure the age and millage so your talking probily a mer 60 ponys if that! now unless you going to gear clutch pipe jet bore and all of that you could have just aswell rode your seld for a year or two and saved money than even bought a early polaris tripple for almost nothing that would already be so much faster stock. or replace the motor. Its like those guys how spend a ton of money on rice grinders to make then fast when they could have just spent there money on a late 80s/90s camero and would have had tons more power and top end speed.

plus if you do get a new sled after all the mods and time and labor and want to sell your moded out sled it won't bring any more money it usless trying to polish a terd

I tried with turning my zl 440 in to a wanna be sno crosser
i plan on just buying a sno pro right off the bat now.

BRPforlife · 12-09-2005, 08:40 AM

What's the sled situation over there in Finland? Are there dealers? or is it difficult to find sleds?

||AlpineStars|| · 12-09-2005, 02:57 PM

It's really eeay to find sleds.. New ones.. Nobody needs to travel far.. Parts? that thing can maybe be tricky! I would like to have parts that make my motor better but i don't know how to get them

let's see what i think is the best searching site in finland fore sleds.. They have 1000 sleds for sale right now..

So.. can someone tell me what i should buy if i wanted more HP and i have.. let's say 250€

||AlpineStars|| · 12-09-2005, 03:04 PM

This was interesting.. a Ski-doo Mach Z 800 1996 was sold this year in Finland for 1690€ that's probably like 2000€
It's motor fully rebuilt and in perfect condition
What do the Mach boy say!! that was lending over the John Deere!?
