Snowmobiling

[Kurtr]

you just need to grab any stock turbo sled, they're on another level and in all reality, any of the stock 850 mountain sleds, you'll run out of talent before you run out of sled. Unless your an avid sledder and have spent some time on late model machines, even a stock turbo will blow your mind. The lightweight turbo 900s those pro are running are above my ability and I have spent my share of days on the mountain.

These days i would run out of talent on a 400 fan cooled haha.

Fourstroke motors have ruined snowmobiling. If there isn't a blue plume coming out the tailpipe, there is no heart.

Auggie, I don't see many around for the most part so I think we're still safe, ha ha. Some of the trail riders run them for the longevity (like 20-40k miles out of an engine) and a few of the extreme shoot climbers would run 4 strokes since you could make 300+ hp out of the 998 Turbo Yamaha pretty easy, but for the most part, the sled industry is still 2-stroke smoke dominate. If you go to any of the mountain trail heads, you'll be hard pressed to find a four stroke in the parking lot.

That would ba about as much fun as driving a dump truck. Only your doing it on snow at 22 mph, hold my beer

Any of you guys that like restoring old sleds and looking for a project I got a 1972 (I think) John Deere JDX4 that could use a good home beings I have too many projects the way it is. If anyone is interested just PM me and we can chat.

Doo 900 Ace four stroke is the best casual utility motor ever. Good power and reliable....there's a reason the Alaska folks all use Skandics with Ace motors. They're not rocketshiptyrbo two strokes but great for work and fishing.
