I have the same machine and I find the temp gets close to overheating on packed roads and only cools down in the loose stuff ? Anyone else have that problem .?
@@MaxCaissie Yes, a couple times, once most of the day, but waiting for a little more snow to go again.It runs fantastic, just put some premium in it, and i was off. Nothing mechanical really, took the skis off and sanded and painted them. Carbides were good, brand new belt under the hood, and plugs, tool kit/coil. Got her for $800, only damage is a tiny slice in the seat, no fabric missing.
@@MaxCaissie i wish you the best of luck in getting a good deal, and safe riding. It can be a blast. Im extremely excited for a little extra snow to play with. Also, it's definitely quick enough for me. I'm maybe 170, 178, it does just fine with me on it. I suppose the only thing between the smaller sleds and larger is how fast you get up to speed, mine keeps up great, but i don't think ill be lifting up the front unless I'm in deeper snow.
Not going to tear you down...too much Looking like you haven't been riding for very long, a fuji powered 500 Indy usually loves these conditions. A little practice and you will be having a good time and not getting stuck as you did here. Smooth out your throttle inputs and keep more momentum, if your under 10 mph in fresh powder with a short track you're screwed. If you need to stop, pack down an area with a couple loops first. Keep the speed up, be smooth, and that sled will go almost anywhere.
the wedge style tops all IMO. had my 1 sled. 93 Indy classic 500, haven't put many miles but its went thru a lot of memories. only threw a chaincase in, and I'm just now doing plugs. filter, and its 2nd carb clean.
Anyone else watch videos of people riding your kind of snowmobile in the fall just to get hyped for winter?
Lucas Echenique we finally got snow like this been waiting too long
Still summer sadly
OMG same I never thought I would see this comment but I'm glad I did

@@peeinginthewind is it liquid cooled? If so there is a radiator by your track that will use loose snow to cool down the coolant for your motor
I just got my first snowmobile, haven't even ridden before. It's a 98 polaris indy 500 efi liquid. Dying to ride
Have you ridden it yet

@@ptfsndsw7028 I have the option of buying a storm 750 but I don't think I will because of parts availability and stuff

im looking to buy one of these ... there cheap and look semi noobie friendly
DontOpenMySnacks they are a very good sled, I've owned 3 500s over the years. In my area it's pretty common to get one for $500.
r they good for off trail exploration? and what year and model is best i c xlt and deluxe then 440s and 500s in my local craigslist

What size track do you have on it?
I really really hope you are already written that thing earlier in the day because if not you are damaging your engine badly
You sayin that cuz it wasn't warmed up or what
@@justusjohnson7301 yes
"written"? Jesus Christ man you should have stayed in school!

Hold er wide!
Snowmobiles are street legal? In a residential area? Did not know
when there are no police YES IT IS :D
so..here in Quebec..you can do 1km in street without problem!
It is in someplace in alaska
@@zacksampsel5001 doubt it. Houses in places where snowmobiles are street legal look way different
Where I live in Minnesota it is legal, road only not the sidewalk though.
What Year Is Your Snowmobile?
Mine is a '96. I have the same one.
get some plastic skis it will wheelie i bet
