I heard the other day that the mach1's 700 triples don't get oil at idle. If this is true...what year did it start.

thanks

That's a line of cow cookies! I do know you need to turn up your pump about 1/16 past the line if you want to keep your motor!
This was also a manufacture notice to do so but I already did :D

100 miles per quart works. Now this is on the 97-98 models only. 99-00 had a direct line to the bearing so on the line is fine....

I have recently bought a 98 Mach 1. Does anyone have access to the bullitin that ski-doo issued?? Or any detailed info as to how to fix the oiling problem, without tearing the motor down. :D I have heard of drilling and adding a grease zirk. Put that makes me nervous. Thanks Guys!
