Big Bore aftermarket bolt in motors from 1991. Wonder how many are still out there?

There lies the problem. I'd like to see Arctic Cat make it and bring new products and ideas to the sport. Would also like Yamaha to come out with their own chassis and up grades in the motor department. Competition is good and if we only end up with 2 players that's not good for the sport.

As far as dealers a friend bleeds green and also has a business working relationship with his sled dealer. It was the dealer that told him not to buy a new Thundercat last year because he was not sure how long they're going to be around so he bought a new Doo. This year his wife's sled is also a new Doo on order.

Had my 1985 Indy 600 SE home couple years ago and it was a nice Sunday knowing my buddy just got done grooming our trails so figured I take it for a ride since it been a while. By chance meet some guys i ride with and ended up putting on 180+ miles. I didn't want to even see that sled for a while. 20-30 miles fun any more not.

Once you start getting into the vintage sleds it a lot of fun hunting for sleds and parts. I had 13 sleds awhile back and was lucky enough that a buddy of mine his dad owned a warehouse and I had free storage. He sold the warehouse so now I have 6 included my trail sleds. Also do some poking around at the older dealerships. Two that I have close tights to I bought all their old inventory parts 95 and older at different times. Kept what I wanted and sold what I didn't want.

Not so much the Max-4 but the SRX 340 yes. One year only I believe 1976. There was one years ago at radar runs that gave me fits.

After the 1981 redesign of the 1982 Yamaha SRX was back with improvements in the motor with a 500CC and clutching...maybe. It was found to be even more finicky with rumored crank problems and exploding clutches. The 1982 SR-V had a one year only Yamaha design clutch. Yamaha made the decision to have the sleds returned that were already shipped out to dealers. Some sleds actually were sold to customers and are very rare, others had the motor pulled and were sold as a rolling chassis the rest were returned and destroyed.

When Arctic Cat snowmobiles came back into the sport in 1984 they seemed to work their way to a level to stand on their own. Seems rather shaky right now. Was it leadership, lose of what the market wanted, lack of new product development or other issues?

3 guys I work with at my real job used to own the local Yamaha dealership and I help out at night. One SRX 500 had the motor pulled and sold as a roller the other one went back complete. Never know what happened to the roller after the guy picked it up. They were a nice looking sleds.

1982 SRX 500. Some actually got sold with the 500, some had the motor pulled and sold as a roller others went back complete.

In 1981 Yamaha did a complete redesign of the SRX. Sharp looking sled with swing down side panels. Forty plus years later we have removable side panels. Respectable performance but was finicky to tune still using butterfly carbs.

The new generation is now trying to figure of what BFH stand for. Benefit For Himself?

Sign deliver service?

LOL fishing is good today. Must have the right shocks for bait.

The snocross wantabe's alway hitting shit and crashing 🤣

Front axle lockouts and floor shift 4wd with low range

Last week I interviewed one of the most educated candidates in a long time with "welding" experience. He did not know what a contact tip was. The position was for a robot weld cell programmer.

On the resumes I look at I go right past the education normally unless I see a technical school mixed in. Look to see if they have any shop experience I want to see if they got their hands dirty. If I see worked on the family farm they are normally the better candidates.

Good for you on expanding the business. I'm helping out with interviews for some positions and you can see where the mechanical skill leave continues to decline. The old saying if you broke it you fixed it is now replaced by if you broke it I'll buy you a new one.

Stop resisting.

The late 90's was the time for triple triples. Each manufacture had multiple size triple triples in sizes ranging from 600cc to 1000cc. Nothing like the sound of a triple triple. Snow tech had a nice article of the triple triples being offered for the 1999 season.

Yamaha's 1992 Vmax 4. I've seen some of these run strong and others well..... Some neat idea's and concepts on these sleds and still have a good following today.
