Love the triples. I bought a dead stock '00 XCR800 off a doctor that was moving out-of-state from Alaska for a song. It never fails to make me smile when some kid wants to race and they think they are fast....then I pin it and show them a $1,500 22 YO sled is quicker and faster than their latest $15,000 electronic, computer controlled fly-by-wire noisemaker.
Truth. I’m a teenager with a 1997 600 zrt triple. Friends used to make fun of it until winter hit and I would walk all of them by literally 100 feet and they have these brand new 2020 m8000s and 1100cc sleds. To bad they don’t know the power of a 2strpke triple and only have twin 4 strokes
Always wonder why they didn’t use more aggressive tracks like 1 or 1.25 inch lug track back then to really show what these big cc sleds could do. Seems like they came with very small lugs unless you install a more aggressive one.
Geez how many times you have to pull those arctic junks over to start??? My skidoo 1 or 2 pulls, older skidoos and polaris's I've had maybe at most 4 or 5 pulls.
That would make a good parts sled. Hood looks to be in good shapeand ya dont see many. Judging by the way it starts and sounds, its not been maintained or tuned right. Btw: running without a belt will smack the clutch faces together and ANY 2 stroke needs a minute or two before ya start rapping the throttle. Hollar when ya blow it up, Ill be interested.
@@bb6seb same. '87 Jag 440, '96 ZRT 600, '00 T-Cat 1k. All start first pull, every time. Keep the carbs clean and tuned properly and they never let me down.
