Viper 700 VS XC 700!! Which One Is Faster?? 

My brother had a Candy Red SXViper 700. That sound, man. Nothing like it. Epic. A little rocket!!

those xc/rmk700 twins are legendary

You've got to have good batteries in all your toys. That was priceless Pete.

My dad still has his Black and red SXViper 700, such a beautiful machine

All that yammie needs is some triple pipes and a she dangles decal. Then its a party❄🍻 Really slick machine. Always liked the looks of those.

Even though the XC won I have a soft spot for those Yamaha triples. I had a SXR 700, SRX 700, and a Viper. Awesome sounding machines and very reliable.

I still feel like the lower slung sleds from the past handle very well on smooth trails even today but on bumpy trails that is when your back takes a beating with the older suspensions. The other issue with the old iron was getting them to hook up, they tended to spin and trench a lot.

In tried my XTC 700 triple on an American 1/4 mile radar ( had to pay ) and i topped my speed at half the 1/4 mile at 97 mph ! now it s older so i m sure it can t top that same speed ! Before my XTC i had a SRX 700 and traded it for the XTC i have now ! it s a 1998 in good shape ! I changed the seat, heated handles, track, wheel bearings, carbides, and a few repairs ! it s sleeping in my storage unit in Edmonton but i m back in Quebec ! this spring i wanna get all my stuff from my storage and bring that here so i can ride my sled ! we hsave great trails here ! they say # 1 trails in Canada ! I know a few years ago the trail pass was over 300 $ ! but it s worth it if you use it often ! if you wanna ride 1 or 2 week-end it might be better to bye a week-end pass ! if you don t bye a pass you can get caught ! lots of police on the trails ! they stand at junctions and you don t have a choice ! they check everyone passing there ! alcool is tolerance 0 and no pass well you get a ticket or and need to bye the pass ! 😎🥶

used to be a guy by the name of Tom Hartman, INC out of Nampa Idaho. He was an older yamaha triple specialist. Unforfunaly he is not in business anymore but while he was, I installed his 136" kit. It came with sprocket, drivers, weights etc.. The Boss seat makes a heck of a difference as well as a 4" riser. Dont forget the 3rd engine mount to keep clutch alignment , that was an OEM option.

I've been waiting for you to post a sx viper video! I had the 03 viper and was the best 3 banger I ever owned. it didn't have reverse or electric start or anything. major weight saver for the holeshots! awesome viper you got there brother! happy holidays and new years from Northwest Alaska 👊

That viper is a beautiful machine and is mint.

Yes. Thanks. Been waiting for another video. Cheers!

I have a 2002 Viper, love that sled, keep her till I croak. Totally not a Polaris guy, but that wrap looks amazing on that XC!

You are a good dude. I can tell you really enjoy helping people out . Love your channel.

This is Fred from Nova Scotia .I have a 2001 Polaris XC 700 and the ZR 800 Cat won't beat my 700 .They are awesome sleds.And I love that wrap.on the XC I would love to get one for mine. Keep the videos coming man.

One of the key advantages the XC 700 (and Polaris in general) had over all other brands at the time was clutching. The Polaris clutching was by far the most efficient and dialed-in from the factory of all the brands. Clutching efficiency typically provides far more advantage than modest differences in horsepower. The other factor is traction, and I always found the Polaris rear suspension in those years hooked up better than Yamaha’s did. In short runs, that XC700 is going to be hard to beat with similar HP sleds, but if you run it on the lake for top end, the Viper should easily outrun it, assuming the engine and clutching is in good shape. I own two Vipers, one 2002 and another 2003. The ‘02 is one of the exceptional ones - it was faster than any other Viper I’ve ever come across. Bone stock it runs 107-108 mph on radar on hardback lake conditions (not even plowed). The ‘03 isn’t quite as fast but it’s mint - it only has about 2000 km on it!

Love your videos 📹 and appreciate the hard work you do to create and post all this stuff!...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 👋🤠

Those older polaris's are weapons. That's why I keep buying em right there baby!

Nice old snowmobiles. More reliable than new models when kept well. Today's technology is mostly wires, and they don't last long in -30°C. I have the old '98 Mountain SRX 700, with FX Nytro with Excel 3 exhaust and cold air intake, beside it another FX Nytro X-TX.

That was fun. Merry christmas guys , and happy new year to ya.🇨🇦🍻

That was awesome. Hope you had a great Christmas and have a wonderful new years. That arctic cat was fast but dam that Polaris with 100cc less and years older. to only be inch’s behind. That is amazing.

Great video Pete. from personal experience, you have to look hard to out run a Polaris 700 Twin. they run great right out of the box, and with a little clutching and jetting work, they run fabulous.. Keep up the great video's, right up my alley!!

Just found your channel, Pete. Loving what you do! Great videos!

Got thq same viper with a extension on the body for a longer track I love it

Great video Pete! I love the sound of the Yamaha triple; just picked one up recently. New to sleds and was wondering what your opinion on ski skins and different ski setups. My sled came with some ruined ski skins and it turns like the Titanic! Appreciate the content, Nice one!!!

AIN T NO FEELIN LIKE SNOW MO BILING

Awesome machines...love your new Yammie damn thing is mint...personally I'd keep it looking stock just the way it came from the factory.

Just picked up one of those 2000 Polaris XC 700s as kinda of a throw in package deal on fishin sled I wanted. Damn that thing rips… I didn’t know anything about em before now. Enjoyed the videos fella, good stuff

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 10K SUBS...LET'S GET'EM TO 20K!!!!

What a Beauty Pete. The sled is too. She ain’t scared to squeeze it lol Cheers from Manitoba

Awesome with sauce I was going to saw yomama looks good but not appropriate. Happy new year.

Need to find an early F7 to run against the XC700. 😎👍

Love tnem old XC's!!! Just beat up on the viper and 1200, good old sleds no doubt!!

That XC 700 is sneaky fast. What a beast!

Those early xc 700s had a big bore option my buddy had one and they are very fast force production sled , but I had to get one and I sent the cylinders and the upper case half to a guy in Minnesota and had him port theme 😁 and it mad rite around 160ish hp

GREAT CONTENT

I have a 2000 poo 700 twin sled and it's got power to spare and it rips ! Really enjoy the videos 👍

Pete you have me laughing in every video bro! Keep up the great work 💪

Those XC were beasts on the track. We had a 800 2001, clutch/gear for drag racing, with a 1.75 track cuted down to 1.5 if i remember correctly, and we win everywhere we go. Our friend with the 600 was damn fast too, winning everything in the 600 stock and improved class, hard to beat in the 700 and beat many 800.

I had a 02 edge 800 was a absolute beast. Great video, new subscriber from Ont.

nice job sleds look awesome.great video

That's awesome 👏 👍 garage full of sleds and bud lite too

Thanks for the new video...let's go!!

nice wrap . didnt look bad but looks great now

I'am a Polaris and ski-doo guy i'am impressed with that Polaris I didnt think it would beat the Yamaha tell you the truth Great video by the way love when you do the shootouts lol.

That wrap is niiiice

The YOMAMA seat cover in the background cracked me up, had to rewind in a "did I just see that?" moment.

That is crazy that an older technology 700 can stay with a new technology 800 but I get it. My 2004 F5 Cat, seat of the pants, felt faster on top end runs than my current 2014 El Tigre 6000. I can barely make 90 on my El Tigre but had no problems making 90+ on my Firecat. Those are speedo numbers just to clarify. The XC 700 is a dangler Great content again Pete

Great video love the new sled!!! But we need more video's!!!! Lol

Those 700 Liberty motors are super tough.... And with the right clutching....you can make them top dog !!!

love it man keep em comin!

Fun video. Those old Poo 700s were quick. Need to find someone with a 99 MXZ 670HO and line that up to the XC. Viper looks mint, I wouldn't go too crazy with the wrap, keep it subtle.

Get rid of that background music so we can hear that sweet triple!!!

🔥still remember my Neibour had a 98 Xc 700 clutched up and piped and he could just beat any sled back in early 2000’s. Just fast sleds 🔥👊🔥⚙️🔨🏍

After 20 years I got back into snowmobiling, yes you can blame me for the crappy weather. Last sled I owned was a 97 MXZ 670. I just bought a 2003 XC SP 500. Edge chassis. Has the liberty 500 VES engine. So to me it seems pretty quick. One thing I noticed is when you hit the gas the weight transfer to back is really noticeable. maybe that’s why the 700 is so fast.

The red rocket is a beast!

The old xc still keeps up awesome!!!

Those older Polaris XC 700s were brutes. As was mentioned..clutching, plus she was studded up. Love the wrap.

I say do’er up!!! Like you said she’s gorgeous but that wrap will make her POP!!! Beautiful sled bud!!!!!

awesome video... Happy New Year

I've got a couple of early 2000s Polaris sleds in the garage. I'll see ya at the Sturgeon Lake radar run this year bud.

the 98' white wedge that also had scooters non valved 700 was really fast.

I had a 2002 viper that was untouchable, found out it had the race motor longer stroke smaller compression chamber (red sled)

Dig the videos man, I'm actually not far from you guys lol being in port perry. I've seen scooter in a couole videos and was like I kmow this guy from somewhere and coukdnt remember where. Think I figured it out, he's a plumber ya? I did a job with him in pickering not too long ago small world lol Keep up the cool vids! Subscribed!

Man that xc is a sweet sled!!

The 99 srx600 I picked up a couple weeks ago started 1 pull and no choke! I knew that was a sign to buy it lol.

where do we get the stickers the wraps are so cool merry Christmas and happy new years from fenelon falls

Hey pete, love your guys videos by far my favourite channel on youtube, you guys are the real ones. There aint a video made yet where i didnt laugh 😂😂 cheers from prince edward island my friend🍻 i would love have a few cold ones with you guys sometime🍺🍺

I wanna see a water crossing in the spring!

Happy new years

Nice one Pete. Someone took care of it.

That XC is and absolute monster

Good batteries in all your toys😂 Nice one bud!

I have 2 vipers 2002 blue one and red one. They been solid. Supposed to be a foam filter on top the air box

Need to find a Ski Doo Mach Z Triple 800. Those things are stupid fast!

Hey there , love the videos man ! Keep up the killer work . Heard that you lived in Ontario and I just got myself an 02 zr 800 efi cce for the winter and she’s got the ol case of saggy ass syndrome . Was wondering if you knew of a good place that I could pick up a new rear shock ? She’s got plenty of studs and I’m not trying to pop one threw my heat exchange . 🤘🏻

Just picked up a 2000 ZR600 , excited to take er for a rip Love the early 2000’s era sleds You guys are out Peterborough way ?

Dam that is a good race

Happy new year from Ohio

That XC is limited compared to the ZR for traction for sure, my oldXC is a champ around here too when it comes to lake rippin'🤙 you gotta make it up towards Minden for some group riding or arrange something down there for the fellas😃

I just got a one owner viper. A twin of yours. My bars, bar cover is all in excellent condition and factory. If your up for a trade for your set up, let me know. I can take it apart box it mail it.

I was wondering if the viper would have the stock pipe, once I saw that, yea, it was closer than I expected. The viper is a cool sled but it needs a good set of pipes.

New to the channel hey! The xc has a bent lower left rad rod. Replace it asap before you rip the whole right side off. Ask me how I know. Also the wife.... Holy smoke show bud. Just fuggin mint!

Had a yamaha srx700 trip . had nothing for rear suspension but a fast sled

Should have left the XC factory decals original classic 🤘

Nice one Pete!! Polaris powa!!!

Nice hoser! How about some Polaris 800 engine keepin' her from blowin?

Nice one !

Because of traction difference you need to do rolling starts

Be interesting to see how a F7 stands up against that XC Only change on that viper would be a stock windshield, stock bars and get rid of those damn fox stickers. That girl of yours sure gets complimented by that Viper, both are beauties!

greetings, i have a 96 skidoo 583 that has random spark, ive of course replaced plugs spark plug wires and coil.still have random spark, is regulator and stator next? really enjoy your videos thx

That Poo rips! 🔥💯🇺🇲

Found you're channel and love it. Pete you're a great guy im sure, even though I've never met you I cant wait to meet you in person. I need a great mechanic in the Kawartha area can you drop off a phone number THE NEXT TIME YOUR IN THE LCBO in Lindsay. My son is the manager Andrew.

You need to try the 01 02 XC 800s. My buddies and I each have one they are really fast.

Kristina would look good on a 73 Ski Whiz!

Yes definitely wrap it on blue, purple, and silver. It will be fast sitting still. Love your channel, keep up the great videos.😁👍👍👍 ps. Still waiting on some red neck dirty hands stickers.

Your wrap guy did a wicked job on that old edge, does he do wedge chassis'? I'm outta renfrew

I had a viper for 6 years that thing was bulletproof and really good on gas

Nice one Pete.... Wow that Polaris xc looks great 👍👍👍 runs like a breast Have a great New Year

I had a Mercury' snow twister that was fast back the day
