i jus bought a formula 3 600 and i melted a hole in my piston closest to the cluch does any one no y this happend oh yea i put a new silencer on it but the guy aat my local sled shop said i did not need to re jet it. do u think that could have caused it

Tell the guy at the local shop to fix his error. Depending on the pipe, you usually need to run a bigger jet size to compensate opening up the exhaust. You dont go up and it runs too lean and will burn a piston up quick. Or, you have a air leak in the intake and it burned it up that way.

i was told to stay away from skidoo triples. only heard horror stories about them.

definately talk to the dealer.

after 98 the doo triples were good. my mach z millenium worked great for me. hope you get yours fixed up.

Never heard of those, but anywhere is cheaper than here. Sportland2 is the closest here in Oak Creek, wi. But they are 65 an hour and rob you. Call around to find a decent price but dont go to a place that looks like they repair lawn mowers and cars. If it dont say certified in what you are bringing in, then they definatly dont have the insurance to cover their mistakes, trust me.
