Time has passed and my cherry original 600 mile 2010 bought in March 2017 now has 5074 miles and 214 hours on the clock, has all the updates and improvements to keep it 'budget minded fun' but is due for a deep dive to assure reliability, remain a super affordable runner and get a few minor budget conscious upgrades and I'm a bit conflicted about how I want to approach the next step and not lose anything I thoroughly enjoy about how great these sleds are 'stock'.
So, here's what I'm considering to freshen it up, pep it up, and keep it lively, fun and affordable for myself, wife, daughter and friends to last over the next few years.
Fox Zero Pro X skid shocks - acquired and will be sending to Mike Carver in the next few weeks for a refresh and XC valving, have better torsions and will likely add Hygear dual rate center spring similar to the spring change I've already made for better ride in, soft ride and deep hit absortion.
Fox Zero Pro X ski shocks - these will take some time to find and as good as Evolve's might be I'm a firm believer in being able to ride home on the springs. Will also change to dual rate to match my current non-stock green ski springs.
Everything else suspension, C&A RZ's ski, Woody's executive runner wise, studded Cobra, sway bar and my lowered settings stays the same, because it already works very well.
Engine is due for a deep inspection, still runs well, starts on the second pull cold but smokes a bit more than it used to and is a bit fussy on warm starts - plan to pull Y-pipe (to inspect for cracks) and get a borescope inside the cylinders for a good inspection. If abnormal wear is found will pull jugs and see what's happening. Have no issue replacing top end and pondering a trail porting job from Hooper, Fett or Speedwerx. Check pipe completely which were known to crack. Might get Y-pipe and Pipe ceramic coated. Tentative goal is to keep running 87 Octane (budget minded), no fuel controller or gadgetry, get another modest 5-10hp and maintain that Suzuki 500 durability.
Clutching will be dependent upon engine modifications and primary wear. Need to remove, disassemble, fully inspect and alter according to mods if changes are made. Will revert back to Gold/Black spring in the secondary and go back to 40 ramp once everything checks out and run the stock belt and gearing.
There's probably more I'm not thinking about but this sled has been so good to me, my family and friends that I honestly don't see myself parting with it... ever.
So, for my interweb friends that have moved on from their Sno Pro's that I know still have a special tiny little place in their hearts for this sled... what do you think?
@mnstang @taperk600 @fortune46x and anyone else I may have missed, because PBR #5
P.S. trying to figure out why the part # for the 2010 Sno Pro exhaust manifold is different than the 2011/12/13/14 ??? all of which are D-Con from Cat.
