Ski Doo Info

I'm looking for maintenance info for my 1996 Ski Doo Mach1 Triple. I bought it last year. I started it up this weekend. As I was looking around the engine, I noticed a dipstick on the right side down low just below the pull cord. I pulled it out & it looks like grease?? Any ideas about what this is. I'm new to snowmobiling & don't know much about these machines.

That's the dipstick for the chaincase oil level. It should be somewhat fluid. You might want to change it.

I don't think Ski-doo had a Mach 1 triple in '96. I'm pretty sure that model year was a 670cc twin with twin pipes. Mach 1 triple was introduced in 1997 as a 700.

It's probably a Mach Z.
