looked at a 1998 vmax xtc deluxe 500 this weekend I don't now anything about the 500's except about 90hp is there any issues with them or are they solid? about 4000 miles on it he was asking $1900 I told him I would look at it for $1400 and he came back at $1500 because he just put new plastic skis on it last winter and a new Ripsaw 1.25 track. It's not what I would call a clean sled but it's not junk ether.

How would it compare power wise to my old 1996 Vmax xt 600? I thought the xt was putting out around 98 hp with the factory gyt pipe. with the electric start and reverse the 2 sled must weigh about the same.

He told me it didn't seem to have the top end he thought it should but I know there geared high from the factory and the heaver 1.25" track could be the problem I'm thinking.
