Hard on the back in bumpy trails. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really only willing to buy sleds in very good shape and willing to pay if they are good enough. I need to stop doubling up on the models I already have and hold out for the Polaris. 🙂 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to buy one also, getting difficult to find the clean ones and they fetch a good buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard on the back in bumpy trails. I started snowmobiling in '96 and I wanted one of those so bad but I was only 15 at the time and no way I could have afforded one. I did have '97 EXT 580 deluxe EFI which looked like the one next to that 900 though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought this one from my friend last year. He didn't ride much and decided to sell it. Didn't plan on buying another sled but didn't want to see that one go to someone else. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could affect the aero, I’d at least put some black duct tape on there if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hole has been cut much bigger to access the MicroBelmont primary, I have a plug for the hole when I'm out racing. Edit: The MicroBelmont clutch has a belt clearance adjuster ring visable in the pic I posted, the cover and outer sheave also can come apart while leaving the stationary sheave still mounted to the crank PTO end, in order to remove the movable sheave and Spider the hole needed to be cut a larger diameter.
