You must be related to ray Charles clearly the Polaris gets smoked by tractor trailer lengths in this video

This is not the case in my area. Some of the highest mile sleds are f7s by far by me. I do know the frames on the early ones had issues but I've seen many with 10000 plus miles engine never opened and no frame issues. People over played this issue. I'm not saying they are the best sleds but it's my favorite sled I've ever owned for the money now that they are old and I've rode allooottt of snowmobiles from that time period.

@@parhammotorsports6125 It all depends who's on the sled 100% of the time and where you ride and how the sleds set up. I just know that I had to send quite a few of those early Firecats for frame issues and repaired alot of diamond drives, I should correct what I said.. I meant you see more older Artic Cats or the newer ones than those models that had weak points. But yeah all depends who drives it and where they ride.. I'm actually rebuilding a Polaris 2 stroke motor that's in my shop now it has 16,000 miles on it and never been opened and it really only needs a top end but I told the customer that I won't send it out of my shop without doing the whole motor with that mileage. And I had a Bombardier 2 stroke last year with about the same mileage that was impressive. So you can have one model sled and ride the powder in the mountains and jump it and ditch bang the crap out of it and it could take it better but then others I warn my customers if you wanna to that don't keep it long get a better sled it won't hold up, but that sled is a great trail or hammering down a old rail bed or lake running sled or touring long miles on hard pack trails.. ya eat your heart out.

@@Ryan-vo3rm that's impressive. The highest mile sled I've seen never opened was a 99 or 2000 (cant remember exactly the year) Yamaha VMAX 700 triple with over 20000 miles. At least that's what the guy claimed. He had it at a show. I've never owned or really been around snowmobiles over 2006 so I don't know how long the newer ones last. Im used to 4000 to maybe 7000 miles is about all you get before engine refresh/ blowing up or other big issues. Most sleds I've had is between 95 to 06 two strokes. So those years of sled models are the ones I know best and am getting my prospective from. And the f7s are one of the higher miled sleds I've seen in my area between those years. It's pretty common to see them on Facebook marketplace or on the trails with 7000 to 12000 miles and still going strong. Not saying thats on the original engine either but hand full of them claim to be. I buy and sell sleds in the winter as well and have friends that go through snowmobiles as well that tell me there experiences. Again I don't own a shop on the other hand and it's just what I see. And I'm not trying to claim at all that the f7s are the most reliable sled during that time period as well just to be clear. I do know they had there issues.

@@parhammotorsports6125 oh this is not a common experience lol, those are the only 2 strokes I've had with over 12k miles that we're not a Yamaha that have not been opened, the Polaris in the shop now is a 2004 and the Bombi I had last year or the year before was newer I don't remember the year anymore, I'm thinking it was a 2008 or something but regardless it was impressive. They are the only 2 sleds I have had with that mileage for there first rebuild. Believe me it's definitely a rarity but those 2 sleds must have been babied.

@@Ryan-vo3rm well if I think of it I'll let you know when mine blows up lol. I'm at 7000 miles now an unopened engine. I might rebuild it but I do have back up engines as well so not worried. Like I said it was only a handful of people. Not saying its common.

@@TyIer0 they are efi no carbs

clean power valves start there

Stock 98 xc 700 setup for ice (lowered, picked) ran 118mph. Iv had them stock as stock can be, on snow GPS over 100, and with a 136” track GPS at 96.

Not 100😄 I think someone had one cylinder missing

Those F7s are crazy loud with pipes. When did 2 strokes need to get louder? Go deaf riding those things as is. First time I rode a 660 Arctic turbo I was in heaven, made putting on miles much easier.

I was on vacation up that way couple months for rendezvous.

TimmyTeaBag what part of Alberta you at ? I’m in fortmcmurray

Logan James I’m in Rocky Mountain house about 90km west of Red Deer

Bud the F7 were 140 stock

@Keith Peterson I’ll race your f7

@Keith Peterson I’m slp piped, slp intake, hotseat 14:1 head, ported polished, and geared I thibk I have a chance

@Keith Peterson I’m not knocking the f7, I’ve seen modded ones and they kick my ass lol

I’d line you up with my f7 sno pro any time 😂 even on water !

Not everybody wants to spend a ton of money on a mountain only sled, and trailer. Some of us take what we can get, you big man you, with your mountain sled and fancy matching gear. You have matching gear don't you? You guys are precious

C.A. Carlson Why do you reply to everyone’s comments, it sounds like you don’t know what you are talking about.

Scott Sweeney super sledder!
