Parry Sound, Ont radar run (did not get a chance to run the radar).
Raced my '02 Adrenaline 800 in approx. quarter mile against an EFI crosscountry ZR800 and a carbed ZR800. I weigh 210lbs. A 120lb chic was on the EFI and a guy was on the on the carbed. All sleds bone stock. I set clicker on #1.
All three of us were dead even all the way up to 160+kph on the speedo for all three runs. The lake was flatass hard pack and we were all picked. No one was pulling ahead.
Go figure,the BS I have been reading in the mags stated the EFI as the fastest this year in the 800 twin class. Not so.
As stated in an old Arctic Cat advertisement "Power to weight, Power to weight, Power to weight". There was also a ZR900(weighs in at 506lbs dry) that showed up and apparently earlier that day was running no faster than the the ZR800 and MXZ800.
PS. Sled runs much better with heated carbs off. No backfire or blue angels. Throws off the DPM when warmer than -20 C as the carb temp is increased by 150 F with them on.
Noticed improved fuel mileage as well.
Glad to hear it Louis. Our 800's have been getting a bad rap this year. I raced an 01 and an 02 800 pol... and beat both of them and they are wrenching on theirs all of the time. For once, I've left mine stock and it's working great! As far as fuel milage, we all took nearly the exact same amount of fuel exc for the 700 XC that was with us. He took more!! We averaged about 10.5MPG and we were riding hard and fast. So much for the fuel guzzling slow pigs, eh!!!
I have an early 1970s Bombardier Ski-Doo single cylinder. I need to lower the primary clutch engagement rpm. What spring and weights would make it possible to lower the engagement of the primary clutch. Thanks for any knowledge you can send my way... Chevysteve.
I wasn't interested in a new sled. Was satisfied with my 16 4-Tech 1200 Renegade and my 17 900 ACE Renegade. Dealer talked me into trying his personnal 19 900T Renegade with a chip and reflash. Claims it puts out 190 hp.
Besides being quick,and fast it doesn't lag and handled well. So I...
Hello
My snowmobile is skidoo Formula MX XTC, model year 1995. My skidoo front light work poorly (only 3 volts given) and i was wondering where is the battery located? Or does this skidoo have battery at all? Engine is rotax 467. Anyway there is something wrong with electrics.
I ride a 2001 ski doo touring 500fan, and over the past year have spent a lot of time fixing issues with it (it was sitting unprotected in a backyard for 5 years). I cleaned the carbs, fixed some electrical contact issues, and redid much of the fuel system. It used to bog down when I went past...
First time for the season the brakes lockup and got hot. and continued to do it all day. So replaced the caliper and dot 4 brake fluid cleaned reservoir and tried brakes seemed to work fine. Go out again brake lockup.
Can my rotor be warped causing this brake up?
Thanks in advance
