I'm looking to purchase an '01 from a local dealer in ND. It has less than 3000 miles and they are asking $2999. Is this a pretty fair deal? Arctic Cat dominates the snowmobile market in this area so I don't really know the pricing on Yamahas but I've always loved them.

Also, what are some things I should look for specifically on the SRX? How does it compare to its counterparts? Thanks in advance. ]]> Yamaha Snowmobiles NoDak_29 http://www.snowmobileforum.com/yamaha-snowmobiles/40663-2001-srx-700-a.html http://www.snowmobileforum.com/general-sled-chat/40662-slidekicks.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:13:48 GMT Hey guys, I am on here to let you all know about slidekicks ice scratchers,and to answer any questions or concerns about them.

I am on here to let you all know about slidekicks ice scratchers,and to answer any questions or concerns about them.
Slidekicks is what I sell and my cousin is the manufacturer (between the lines designs).As such I have exclusive access to special pricing and I use the price breaks he passes on to me to the customers.I sell slidekicks on ebay as well as my website bellow the msrp of 69.95 + s&h.Here is the links to both loctations that you can purchase them and get in depth info.

Here is some detailed information about slidekicks reverse compatible ice scratchers.
Slidekicks are a reverse compatible ice scratcher,that means no more bent or broken ice scratchers.
You dont have to worry about SLIDEKICKS breaking when you go into reverse after you forgot to put them up.
Or breaking them on the terrian and of course the all time classic bending them after you forgot to put them up before loading your sled on the trailer.
SLIDEKICKS are made of a cable that is not only indestructable and flexible but they also put great down pressure o n the snow and ice.
SLIDEKICKS have a different, yet effective technique in producing spray to cool your snowmobile. When not in motion, the scratchers stick straight out away from your snowmobile. The 45 degree mounting angle provides the downward pressure to keep the tip on the snow. When in motion, the SLIDEKICKS will be forced back toward your track & skid. The combined downward & backward forces cause the scratchers to constantly chip away at the snow and ice, creating a steady spray aimed at your hyfax and coolers
SLIDEKICKS also have replaceable wear points. So instead of replacing an entire set of scratchers, you can purchase our inexpensive wear points and replace them as needed. SLIDEKICKS are an investment that will save you money over the long term.
SLIDEKICKS are very easy to install and will work on any sled. They mount toward the front of your rear skid using one bolt. Many skids already have pre drilled mounting holes. If yours does not, you simply drill one hole where you want to mount your SLIDEKICKS. The tip is then bent back and hooked on the inside of your rails for it's resting position when not in use.
Last but not least slidekicks they are covered by a thirty-(30) day defective materials/workmanship warranty from date of purchase.
Thank you very much for your time and please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Here are the links to where I am selling them and my contact information.

BUFFALOKAT FROM NY HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET THE NYSSA TO GET A ONE TIME REG FOR VINTAGE SLEDS. PLS FILL OUT.
Thanks to who reply,but NYS guys have never been more close to this happening. NYSSA has a committee for it (Never before) I'm on it,so you know I'm fighting for US !
The BIG thing now is to contact all you elected officials with a email, Razanhoffer,Seward and Volker already have bills submitted,NYSSA is holding them back to gather info. Which has been made my task. There is a FOIL report,but only from DMV that shows sleds registered that are 25yrs or older. This is what NYSSA is using to see what the lost revenue would be if sleds got a reduced fee. They are registered at full price now and there are many,more that I would have thought. Vintage Lives in NY !!
PLEASE,send link to survey to your clubs online forum:

First time rebuilding snowmobile engine, will be using OEM pistons and most parts if no complete engines out there.

I'll be calling Hildabrand's tomorrow to see what they have, but right now it has an outer crankshaft bearing failure. Crank and case halves good. Toasted bearing, one piston, head and possible jug/cylinder recoating needed. I'll be checking it out on Saturday.

I'm not up to speed on when new sleeves are needed compared to just recoating...any certain depth of damage standard? Both jugs will be done if one toasted...or good set of used one. ]]> Polaris Snowmobiles 5Cent http://www.snowmobileforum.com/polaris-snowmobiles/40657-02-700-ves-engine-parts-where.html http://www.snowmobileforum.com/polaris-snowmobiles/40656-drive-sprocket-removal.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:58:24 GMT Just wondering if anyone knows how to remove the drive sprockets from the shaft on my xlt touring?

Looking at making a fold down ramp on the from of my v-nose trailer. I am getting tired of having to carry the ramp all the way around the front and also would like to keep the road gunk off of the front sled. I was hoping that some of you that have this type of ramp could do me a favor and take some pictures for me and possible pull some measurements?????? I was going to stop down at the local Floe dealer with my tape measure, but didn't think that they would appreciate that much!

If it helps any, the rewind housing has the name POLARIS on it, with a star. The engine, does run. If anybody is interested, $50.00 takes it.

( don't know much about them ( what to look for and problems) ). It has a 144" skid and a new 2 " track on it. . The tunnel is a crs I think with a "u" cooler. 6 " bar risers And some " flexi skis". The guy said the chain case has been " droped and rolled ". WhAt ever that means. He is askin $600 for it and I don't know if it is worth it or just keep saving and buy a newer sled. I have a 92 Indy trail deluxe with a 488 fan cooled motor this sled is a crazy modified to lighten it up as much as possible to make it faster.I got $300 total in the sled I just wants go fast and not sink in the powder Any more

is this a good deal. What should I look for when I go look at it How many miles are too much for that motor. Any and all input will be nice
