Drilled the PTO oiling hole on the third one and said I'm on my own now according to BRP. 99 they went to ISO and added a seal on the PTO side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure were nice out on the lake though. Damn those things had some top end. My uncle was huge into Yamahas back then and a clutching guru. Shaved those things down to give an overdrive, notched weights, thing felt like it was a power shifting 3 speed. 122 mph on radar. His hit 126 with a stock motor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn that thing looks factory fresh. It might hold its value if he keeps it in mothballs. Is that a 2000+?

An old riding buddy who got out of the sport, gave me his 2000 SXr that had literally just been sitting in his shed for 15 years. I went through it, new reeds, carb boots, etc., got it running good. I thought it would be a good beater to keep around for the farm fields or bring north for cruising around the ice shacks. But i got tired of roping it and not having reverse and selling it for a grand. Got spoiled on the new iron. Kind of wished I'd held onto it now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was doing a saddle bag trip, 2000 I think it was, a day or two riding north of lake Superior and threw out my back trying to get my sled out of the barn. That sucked but still good memories because I could ride just couldn't walk Electronic reverse and electric start really helped my back after that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
