Ricko takes us through the skid of his Mountain Cat and talks about the suspension, maintenance, and setup. We take a look at the rear shocks and what kind of air pressure to run on the shocks.
If you're new to our channel, we post videos about snowmobile tuning. Lots of tips and tricks for maintaining and modifying your sled and sled trailer. Mostly just DIY sled stuff for people who like to get their hands dirty or tinker in their garage.

Straight to the point without the fluff. Love your channel.

Bought a 02 ZR 800 brand new from Don’s Speed parts back in the day. Swapped out the stock 121 track and put a 2” on (all that was available at the time). You wanna talk about wheelies in the mountains!!!! Ha that was the sled for it! Had to ride the hell out of it, it was a ton of fun 20 years ago! Now the point and shoot is more my liking.

Very cool, thanks again Digit9, never understood how they do the wheelie, another thanks from Ontario, Ottawa valley as well👍

@DIGIT9 3 года назад

Right on Benny. Digit9 loves Ontario.

@JoeRocket-sf6qs 3 года назад

Those wheelies are done with power and studded tracks,those straps if loosened, allow suspension travel to go unchecked,which will interfere with the smooth operation of the sliderail/ skid overall and possibly damage your track, if you want to wheelie get a short track 600-800cc two stroke stud the track with trail studs or something more aggressive and practice with short bursts of throttle shifting ur weight toward the rear and keep your balance so as not to flip back on ur face,have fun and practice makes perfect bro.😉

Very nice! Looks like the swing arm could use a fresh coat of powder. I can do that for you. Check out some of my powder coating jobs on my sled restores and see what you think! Andrew Crocker

@allanderfong914 3 года назад

Thanks Again for your videos! You explain everything in great detail. Would you have a video in regards to Y-pipe leakage from the engine side. I can’t seem to get good seal on it. Any tricks or special tool a guy needs to get a torque on the bottom bolts ?

@endurotruckererniedesjardins 3 года назад

Permatex ULTRA COPPER. clean surfaces with brake clean. Use fresh gaskets and if there's a big 🍩 donut on the y pipe to muffler flange change it if there's any wear or scratches in it. Use the ultra copper if the options run out after fresh gaskets. Or replace the y pipe. I've seen them get bent and they never seal tight after.

@allanderfong914 3 года назад

Thanks for the info Ernie, I’ll give that a go.

@1waukesha 3 года назад

Check the mating surfaces of the head and the Y pipe with a straight edge. If the y pipe is not flat, you can fix it by filing off the high spots or have a machine shop run it thru a milling machine. Cheaper than a new y pipe. Shouldn’t need sealants with flat surfaces and good gaskets. Cheers!

Great vid!!! what is your preference when it comes to grease?

@DIGIT9 3 года назад

Winter grease from Cdn Tire !! The clear stuff , makes less of a mess !!

@endurotruckererniedesjardins 3 года назад

Castrol piroplex blue. AGL1 or AGL2 Your choice. 100% waterproof Do NOT GET IT ON BARE SKIN... its a real mess to get off because water makes it stick more. Wd40 to clean hands.. I have u joints on my mud truck that are 15 years old. This grease it that good. I use it on my atvs with real good results

merci pour votre video. jai un m8000 mountain cat 162 avec fox float evol, et je ne réussis pas a trouver un setup pour faire lever le devant droit loll jai enlever les strap de retenue avant et jai essayer tout les 3 trou d'ajustement du bugy de la suspension arriere sur le frame ,avec 70lbs en compression sur le shock arriere et lui avant jai pas fait d'essai de pression. avez vous un setup a me sugerer ? je trouve que le devant vient jamais a bout de lever a peine.... remarquer que je vient de faire mes tests avec a peine 10 cm de neige ca change peut être la chose loll je suis meme pret a payer pour avoir un setup qui marche pour le hors piste ;)

@DIGIT9 3 года назад

Not sure if the translate app is correct but sounds like you want less ski pressure ?

@@DIGIT9 ok loll yes exactly i tried a lot of testing so that the front no longer touches the ground and even remove the straps in front of the suspension and i didn't have much difference.
