Went right through the gape and wail machine this winter. Rebuilt the skid, new chain case chain, replaced the wore round 1” full block junk track with a 1.75” cut down to 1.5, new drive axle bearings tbh

everyone is pretty Jealouse but if you have to ask you can’t afford it 

just got back in from laying some gapes tonight tbh. She just friggin wails with the new track and geared down a bit

More seriously, love it.  That's something worthy of outlining.

Tried a different coating and son of a bitch it came off from a squish test

It has some kinda Kawasaki watercraft pistons in it so I’m not too keen on blowing it up getting that last 5 hp lol

76mm bore size you can use 583 pistons 

Finishing touches today

That’s what I figured would be in there but they used some Kawasaki pistons for some reason

Interesting! I think the big bore Lemke motors used Cat pistons. When you peak inside, let me know the part number if you can. I’m always looking for options. I have an old Union Bay motor (928) with RMK pistons in it but it’s a 71mm stroke

Guy posts this really clean 96 f3 LT for $1900.. couldn’t help myself 

Bought this f3 years ago. Just rode it hard and put it away for years 

decided to tear it down to do a service rebuild 

found this in there lol

its a craftsman. I don’t have any craftsman 

 

Oldest boy wants to triple swap this 470 so why not 

had two 700 runners. First one ran when pulled but checked it out and it’s pretty effed 

2nd one looks pretty good inside. So away we go lol

I’m starting to like what you’re doing…season here is short and new sleds are stupid pricy…found a SRX 700, 2004 F7 and a 98 Mach1….they would be fun for some trail ripping.

Man if the trails are smooth an srx 700 is a weapon 

Even then, the body position is awful.  I'd almost rather not ride.
