Fireball 440 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Going to check out this 2005 Classic 550 tomorrow for the wife. This is a clean sled with only 1400 miles. She is excited! I know in their first couple years 2000-2001 they had piston issues, any other issues these motors had? I'm not too worried about it. Should be a great sled for her! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Crappie Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Nice. I've owned 2 of the 550's and both were bullet proof. 1 over 6000 miles and the other had 9000+ when I sold it. She'll love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point I believe they changed corporate goals/profit, and outsourced to garbage manufacturers. I lost THOUSANDS of dollars, and got nothing but grief from the two fucking pieces of garbage.

Angry ginger Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Ski doo makes the best sleds. Honda and Yamaha the best wheelers for day to day utility use. Honda does not have the features of others but have always been able to be beat on and just run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt bad the first time putting him on an inferior product, second time was post ACL so having movement was important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost similar to the ZX sleds in prices when they start to bottom out. Now a days everything seems almost double sometimes more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rebuilt a handful of 583's and 670's, 2 700's, the 600HO, and a 600 carb. Did a couple Indy 500's back in the day also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are always looking for these sleds for their wives, kids, or newer riders. On your trails at the pace most ride them it wouldn't make any difference. Chances are you aren't going to be pounding the trails on Saturday afternoon when they are all beat to hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah the weekend traffic is usually pretty slow anyhow on the NSST, but the Yukon is almost always a gas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
