I had one of those with a 400 in it.
Nicest riding sled of its day.

You want it to ride smoother than it does now?
Move the rear shocks to the back mount and turn them up one on the cam.

We had one of those when I was a kid. I believe it had a 447 in it. That thing could really go for an older sled.

The Skiroule was ahead of it's time with outboard rear shocks (found on much newer Ski-Doos) and ski mounted shocks as well. Even the streamlined shape was futuristic.
