My '03 was a pretty damn good sled after the initial month or two, from what I can remember. After that, the only major complaint I had was it got hot way too f'ing easy compared to the other sleds in our group. It was over 20 years ago though, and I may just be repressing some of the first year ownership memories I will say though, the sled lived up to the hype when it came to straight line racing - especially after getting the clutching set up. It was the first clutch kit I ever bought for a sled ... ODS Dan kit Halfway on the topic of F7s and cooling Do people not run into each other at road crossings anymore? I feel like back in the day we used to replace ZR tail lights and crack firecat rear coolers from hitting each other almost every time we rode as a big group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My zr of that era I had orange hood vents, orang boards, orange snow flap. What was the tank tamer? I don’t remember those.

Stuff the flap up into the tunnel with your ski, play kill switch tag, see if you could fill someones helmet with roost at road crossings. Play chicken by racing towards a fence opening that wasn't wide enough for two sleds of course it wasn't $100+ for a flap, or a tail light lens either... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deephaven Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 2 hours ago, racinfarmer said: So you rode the sled that day, installed the flares, rode it again, and the temp was 25 degrees less after the install? It would take him a day to do the install. 2 hours ago, racinfarmer said: Could it be the trails got chewed up as the day went on and allowed more snow to be thrown around as you rode? And it was warm the day before, froze at night and warmed up during the day. SUPER common to run lower temps in the afternoon. If he actually rode more than 15mph he'd know that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zr6000 did not approve of any of those games when I talked about them a while ago. The ski up the tunnel is a good one. The setting the ski on the hood game is fun to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know that use to happen a lot back in the day. It’s been a while since someone in the group has been ass packed hard enough to brake parts. The last good one I saw was when me and my cousin were driving over trees off trail in waist deep snow and popped out on the trail some how. The group of sleds coming towards was my dad, brother and some other friends. We didn’t know that was them coming up. My dad stopped to talk to us and my little brother wasn’t paying attention and ass packed the rear of our XC and there was skidoo xp body parts flying everywhere. He goes “whoopsie” and we all about died laughing when he said that. It didn’t hurt that old ass dragger but screwed that xp up pretty good. I am pretty sure that was the same trip my cousin was riding wheelie through the rock garden in my front yard and blew the belly pan out of his xp. We go you know there are big rocks there.

Real Fucking Deep! More snow= more cooling. Not fairy dust. Use a brain cell, if one exists. you can repeat it here or in your pea brain as many times as you like, but they don't deflect snow or ice back onto the track or into the skid or aid in cooling. 9 hours ago, Not greg b said: I am gonna put speed vents in the hood like the old jags.

Actually I guess it still isn’t all too uncommon because I happen to know when they raised the suspension up on the procross in 21’ an XP chassis spindle would fit right under the back of it in a side swipe/rear ending scenario and not hit anything until it got up to the tunnel/bulkhead/chassis a frame seam and then wreak havoc. I also learned if you get rear ended on a snow machine by your fiance (girlfriend at the time) it’s your fault somehow. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Installed and tested them on a sled which was constantly overheating and they made zero change in the temperatures while riding on snow. Dropping the scratchers was the only way to get the temperature to drop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
