this is a pic I took today of an F7 at about a 1000 feet racing an 800 cat and 700 polaris non power valved with PSI pipes.

:(

I don't know, something doesn't add up. I know they're fast, but.... :sarcasm:

Here we go again. ;)

Yup,see the snow blowing in his face lol.
Caleb-BRING ON THE SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm.... By the way there riding, it doesnt appear to be a race!
What is this another pitch to sell people on firecats.

that is snow and not anthrax i hope.

No Paul thats pure canadian snow.That has a street value of..um...I dont know but I wish it was here :0:

The race is over as you can see and its no sales pitch because the F7's are sold out. These sleds work that good out of the box and I thought I would give you photo evidence of that fact. I know the F7 is fast and I dont think it will beat my ZR9 on top but it would give it a run in 660.

Snow Teck said the weight of the f7 is 459 instead of 435!!

Looks like a nice leisurely ride :p

Hey Form, I look at the time of your post and I excuse you for being delirious! :sleeping:

Ya most likely the other sleds are running last rears belt!!! Once they do there yearly prep I would think they would be much closer to the front. It does seem funny that someone would race a new sled without doing a good break in. The dealers would love this one they should see this sled before it hits 1000 miles for a rebuild!!!!

BG, How do you know if it's broke in or not? It's been plenty cold out west for a while now.

Here last weekend,two Mach`s ,one Zr 900, 800 triple polaris, and one F-7 faced of for
all clutched minor mods to some.The f-7 was quicker out of the hole but at about 600
-700 ft the Mach`s both powered by.The 900 also beat the F-7 and right out the back door
over half mile on the highland road.The results were the same each and every time.The 900 also did edge out the Mach`s but it wasn`t no cake walk.If any thing the F-7did have
an excellant take off each time and if all the hit this hard out of the hole it is going be a tough
sled in 660 ft run for all .As stated the big boy`s ruled the top side eachand every time except the 800 polaris,the f-7 handled him from start to finish.These were 1/2 mile plus runs.
Just my .02 worth. Cape Breton Stock...............

Man, I don't care who won the race, I'd a given anything just to have been there riding under that beautiful blue sky and sunshine, on that "pearly white snow" ..........that as of yet we have not seen in quantity, here in Mich!!!! DooZ ???

Doo-Z the snow we "had " is now gone for the rain gods
don`t know when to say "enough".It pissed down all week
and just turn colder to night.All we can do is hope the snow
gods remenber us. Cape Breton stock.....711ccD.D.power
Think white!

the manufacturers are starting to clutch sleds for better hole shot now days, to say the f7 was real fast because of what you see in that picture is a joke. I can and have consistantly beaten the non power valved pol 700 with pipes with my 00xc600. as a matter of fact, my clutching set up will beat an f7 on a 500 foot track. I was also able to stay first place in 800 improved stock until semi finals. it's not hard to beat a sled that someone thinks is fast because they put pipes on it. proper set up is very important. don't be sad, i watched 700ves polaris's beat the f7 at the grass drags this fall in alberta. SETUP, SETUP, SETUP. :sarcasm:

#1 is right, not allways the sled, it's who's tuning the sled, but i did do some runs against a f-7 on the weekend with my rev 800. We only did rolling starts on the lake, not enough traction for hole shots. First roll on from about 30 mph I took off on him and held him off for at least 1200 ft. But we did a few more runs and it pulled about 5-6 lengths on me in 1500 to 2000 ft. I'm still breaking in the rev have a little over 100 km's on it. But after I left my buddy Limskii said that the f-7 started acting up only pulling 6000 rpm's and he loaded it up and took it back to the dealer. Haven't heard what the problem was yet. :doh:

Do you ride with Machz69. I think he said an F7 in his area had the same problems after a hard run...

There has been 2 F7's in my area that have went down......not sure what the deal is yet they just quit. The one that was in had lose wires that run beside tha stator and when they were moved around it came to life (poor connection). As for numberone.........I am glad to hear your sled is fast but in this case the F7 is out of the box and we are snowmobilers not drag racers so your set up in your 600 would be useless in real life conditions and you wouldnt of even been in the picture if your set up for 500 feet LMAO....

sledhead, I'm not afraid to reviel some of my secrets. just to let you know, the little 600 is very trail friendly. here are some things i did to make it an awsome sled. at 78 to 79 hundred rpm geared to only 84mph top speed with 64gram clutch weights and a 52/38 progresive angle helix this sled will pull over 80mph at 500'. also, it still is usable on any trail as long as you are not riding to fast all the time. :D

i have seen the f7's run and they are awesome out of the whole. however when the f7 races it loses power mid range allowing the 800cc ski doo's to blow by it. top end I don;t know.


I'm not taking anything away from the f7 there sweet and haul. ( i would buy one if i didn't ide ski doo)

However there are something that turn me away from it. The oil line runs right through metal and about 1/2 inch from the clutch ( blown belt equals no oil, no ride=getting towed.
The pull cord is fraying and breaking (poor set up) and the snowflap is continuing to fall off.

Seeb one at the shop this weekend with 10 miles on it. black and yellow sick looking sled though.

It's the same f-7 I'm sure, I don't know M69 all that well, kinda know him through Limskii. We were both out on the lake sat. afternoon when the gun was out. Should have had my wife run past the gun, I didn't think she had it in her, when she blew by me on the Rev yesterday!! :inlove:

Exactly what I'm thinking too. Who cares who won the race. But at least they are out riding. :)

Hey numberone you would fit in were we sled just right cause you don`t
go to a gun fight with a knife.For I have a 5600 rpm engage,64/38 angle,
whal brothers lite weight shafts and hub /disc and D.D.big bore for trailing
(roughly 2000miles a year).The bottom line you win or you Lose,no B.S.
cause if your not set up you shouldn`t pull the trigger.By the the way did
some one say the 800 rev was ahead of the F-7 ,must be alot fast than
the MXZ 800 cause the only time one of them could come close was when
we started. Cape Breton stock...........................

#1 I told my buddy about your 600 ,he has a 02 600 polaris (his second one the
first one had M-10 too many problems to list).He is interested to know if that is
all your six is limited too as far as mods.He checked compression 139-141,three
sets of clucth springs last winter,weights good also,all with in .035 grams,track tension,
carb set on edge for temp arrording to egt,air box stock,stock pipe.The major
problem is that when you line up the sled will engage at 3300 instead of 5500
and by the time it spools up power the race is over.He has changed every back too
stock twice ,used a clutch of another 600 that works will no different.You never
know when this is going to happen ,cause the dealers don`t know.He`s been racing
for many years ,the`00 600xc they had was unbeatable in its class and this barks
but not for long if someone come up with an idea that works.By the way he got H.T.G
big bore triple in his shop possible for sale if any one interested.

So if that is at the end of the race, how do we know that the guy on the f7 didnt keep it pinned longer than the guys on the 800 and polaris?
Something dont look right to me.
But, you could very well be calling it as it is. At any rate, thanks for the pics. I love to see sledding pics.

To me the pic looks like the two guys are sitting there laughing about the poor F7 performance they just saw and the firecat is trying to get his set up right so he can try and beat them the next race. :D :D

JK.

Mr. Machzzzzzzzzzzzzz all tou Doo boy`s are fast
cause you race each other ,as you travel in packs
cause you never here of a doo have problems or loseing
cause the boy`s always get together on and practice
the story`s of how fast you guy`s are.True or False?
any way time tell how many Zr 900 tailllights you
get a veiw of this winter or other Cat`s.Try picking bigger
C.C.`s and see.Just my .02 .........................
Cape Breton stock...............

Bye the way the picture doesn`t look right.

Well Caper I am the only doo rider in my group. It consists of mostly polaris and the odd Yammy and cat. I had my share of troubles last year and they werent afraid to let everyone know. Now all they talk about is how kick ### my new ride is. What a difference a year makes.
I ride a 600 rev and already have eaten up many bigger cc sleds.
IN FACT, I had the local Polaris dealer call me and said he wants to try me with his prox7. I had to remind him that I only have a 600. :D

I started out riding with 2 yamahas, 4 Arctic cats, 1 polaris, and 2 skidoos.

Now with still the same people

1 Yamaha, 1 Polaris, 8 Skidoo, 1 Arctic Cat.

And the reason why we have gone to 8 is thanks to my 98 500. It impressed everyone when there sleds were all frozen in the morning and i just gave it a few primes and broommmm.

Sorrt about coming on to you a little strong there Mr .Machzzzzzzzzzz1 but I take back what I said .The boy`s here running yellow sleds poison anyone else cause they ram it down your throat.If they beat some one of a different make and I (and my family for 20 years ran Doo`s )
switched to cat in ``90 green ever scents because of the dealer who doesn`t sleep .Fixs all makes open till 1in the morning most nights,7days a week(including my last doo 9700 blizzard)
By the way of the 700 p\valve 7`s down there`s only 1 that will run will my 711.That cause he`s an "x" ice racer and I give him credit to get it to go that good.So I don`t ask what done,for it will walk over 800 twins with mealso.But from what I have see so far the 600 rev is a tough
buggie in it`s class and above. Cape Breton Stock............................

hey caper711cc, you didn't mention wether your friends sled was stock ?, I would think that your friend is having trouble with his electronics, possibly the cd unit. have the dealer check this and his engine timing. while he is at it, he should also check the tps setting, it should read no more or less than 4.00 @ wide open throtle. PS give me as much detailed info as you can and i will see if i can help.(typ of springs, weights, helix and gear ratio.) :)

like I said I just took the pic as soon as the three sleds were in........the race was not over I think the F7 was looking way back to see the other 2 battling for second...........
