Yeha buddy unfourtantly all the srxs were junk ! they had a major design flaw , i think they called it yamaha? haha jk man , yeah the srx perform well , my buddys dad had one and it would do 220 kmh. But it was clutched and piped and so forth. Good luck nothing like buyin a new sled!

 

well im going to be going to pick it up on tuesday its a 97 and a 700 also has a studded track.. Hope it doesnt brake down on me lol

 

something a bit suspicious about that sled. the SX R didnt come out until 2000 and the tunnel color as well as some other items dont jive.

the skid looks consistent with the 97, other parts dont.

 

no matter what the brand they all break

 

I have heard that the SRXs are fast and reliable.

 

One of the earlier years of 700 had a crank problem. It was somewhere around 98 or so. May want to look into that.

What chassis Doo are you coming off of? You may be sorely disappointed with the suspension in opposition to it. The SXR's had a little more friendly suspension, but didn't have the power valves and triple pipes. So that SRX will have the added power and performance, but suspension absolutely sucks. A good middle ground is the SX Viper which I believe had Power valves, single pipe, and an updated suspension.

Other than the cranks, they are very good motors. Surprisingly efficient and very powerful.

 

yup thats about the only thing yami sleds slack on is there suspensions

 

The Vipers are only newer though....

 

Well right now ive been riding a 96 mxz 583 its been a fun sled to ride so far..

 

It isnt a SxR its a srx with a sxR hood or its suppose to be anyway.. i sent you the vin number also to confirm it.

 

sxr hoods wont fit srx's and vice versa. two completely different sets of plastics on the bellypans as the srx's were noticabely wider than the sx chassis.

like i mentioned, something fishy about the way that sleds being represented. the srx and sx's are completely different in both engine and chassis. but, if its an sx with different hood and trailing arms, its still a good sled if the price is right.

look at it even closer than you normally would.

 

also i might be doing this wrong but i tryed to do a comppresion test today and it seems i might just have to rebuild it some.. looks as tho its burning alot of oil from the white and blue smoke im seeing and the comppresion in all 3 cyclenders were at 25... But agin i might have been doing it wrong. THink the sled has to be started and then take the plugs out and put the gage on one by one while running right? i forget its been awhile..

 

also i might be doing this wrong but,.................compresion in all 3 cylinders were at 25... But agin i might have been doing it wrong. Think the sled has to be started and then take the plugs out and put the gauge on one by one while running right? i forget its been awhile..

Remove all plugs, hold throttle wide open and pull until the needle stops rising.

 

pull the plug screw tester in hold wot and pull till it stop goin up then u have true compression

 

yeah don't think at 25psi it would be running at all. smoke will go away some when it warms up. but its a 2 stroke so it will smoke some.

 

ya thanks guys.. 2 out of the 3 are good over 135 or so the 3rd is under 120..

 

That's not good, they should all be within 5% of each other.

 

120 to 135 is less than 9%.
Within 10% is acceptable.
You may only have a stuck ring. Put some penetrating oil into that lower cylinder and let is sit at least 24 hrs, then test again.

 

Ya was hoping for a better out come. But at lest i got a few more months befor snow comes. maybe i can get some cash together and get it going fo winter..

 

I guess I'm a bit of a perfectionist.
