My buddy ordered a F3…cool sled but kind of a pig and IIRC it liked pistons.🤔 Edited November 29, 2022 by Jimmy Snacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Jackson Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Only one sled on the list that's worth more today, even a little banged up, than what it cost back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep......Once we got the PTO crank bearing issue figured out it got the cylinder shim, head cut, DynoPort pipes, shorter front shocks and a 1.25" track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty common to drill that out now so at least the outer bearing gets some oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty common to drill that out now so at least the outer bearing gets some oil Exactly what my dealer did when the first two cranks went out after 1500 miles or so each. Third one they told me Doo wouldn't cover another one but they drilled the case for the oiling mod. Even now I do that to all my triples so I don't have to mess with Isoflex. My Price 1000 has the fatty PTO bearing but that fucker walked out of the case on the dyno Edited November 30, 2022 by Skidooski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Price 1000 has the fatty PTO but that fucker walked out of the case on the dyno Isoflex is trash I haven’t had PTO bearing issues since drilling then and using the steel cage bearings instead of the plastic ones once you have that sorted they’re actually pretty deadly engines. I think the pre 98 motors were more reliable all other triples seem to have shitty water pump setups. Rotax don’t. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one fail and if they do they’re really easy to service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
