Yamaha through 2002! They really did have great fit and finish, '78-'98. Love : V-max 540, 83-88, 80-91 SRV540 fan, SS440 80-85, Exciter 440 fan, '77-'81. All the Enticer, and Phazers too!!
I’ve got a switchback assault,but last year I rode my SRX for a whole week on vacation. Then when I rode my switchback,I realized my SRX was quite a bit faster. Rode it last week for a 5 mile rip.👍👍
I started off with a 92 Tundra Lt, Dad gave me his Sport 440, then in 98 I bought a Yamaha SX-R 700 after test riding one. I put away my SX-R then got a 05 Polaris 700 XC, the Polaris beat the SX-R off the line but, down the stretch I caught up with my new sled and left it in the dust. Awesome Vid! Thanks good to see a SRX 700.
nice 7 honey! had one, the stators r notorious rite about 15000 kms they quit, only other prob i had was a fuel pump went out on me also, both easy fixes , nice fast great sounding sled
I learn a lot here ! About machines I’ll probably never work on , but someday , maybe a Buddy , with a sled I don’t have , will need help ! And I’ll have all the Answers ! He’ll think I’m a Genius or her ! I’ll think ? I know a GUY ! Everybody has a GUY ! Your Fun to listen & learn , Ride On ! Ride On ! You get one Life ! Live it Large !
Best triple sled ever made I miss that sound, I have 2 that I have put back together 98 race 10k rpms improver and a stock 2000 same sled as yours Gotta keep watching see how it turns out My guess 142 hp @8350
My friend had the exact same SLED purchased here at mcgregors in bobcaygeon ontario,,she's friggin fast he'd get 115 mph out of his bonestock very reliable ,,nice SLED loud as f?.k
awesome machine! I had a bunch of the sx vipers and vmax models (all short tracks). they all brought us good'n far, but for some reason tho, the 03 viper would always spank our 01 02 and 04 mods 🤷♂️😄
Hey Pete, got a quick question I’m going to look at a 1997 Mach 1 700 tonight it has no spark guy says he replaced the stater and the coils but still no spark. He wants 800 bucks for it. Do you have an idea what could be wronga Canadian brother out
My Brother has the blue tunnel SRX and that sled is a beast and his being totally ocd its immaculate! Rode it once and its the fastest sled I've ever ridden. I'd love it if he would ever sell it! Just crazy fast.
love Yamaha triples! always wanted an SRX. I have 2 98 vmax xtc 700's one is stoxk and one has triple pipes, clutch work, gearing, head gasket mod, reed spacers etc. bunch of little things and its faster than my dads srx. so I am thinking if I did the same to an srx holy crap!! haha
I had come across two 2003 rmk’s, the guy bought new, broke his neck and back in early 2004 and the machines sat and sat and sat until I messed with them in 2020. He was going to sell them to me for 500 per but we ended up moving before he found them titles and I missed out. I inquired about them after getting settled and was informed the wildfires that summer took the house, garage and sleds
Was riding w a bunch of friends back in 03' in the Tug Hill and a new guy to our group had one of these and he was faster than my MXZ and my Buddy's f7, it was sneaky fast
Hoser Snowmobilers and Yooper Snowmobilers , what do they have in common ? That would be Beer & Snowmobiling ! And on my Home Trails ? I’m GOD ! Chase me Guardian Angel ! Bet you cant Hang ! I’m Fast , GO POLARIS ! The STAR !
i burned a snowmachine up one time starting it up with the pipes off .the flash set the gas i spilled in tub on fire .old kawi 440 no fuel shut off valve.burned thru the fuel line in a heart beat.a word to wise
i dealt with faded plastics found that armoural soak it rub in with your hand watch it come back new i run 2 yamahas srviper se xtx and venture yamaha both 1049 cc both are 2014 i do all maintenance. pete are you anywhere near me i am at lake talon in north bay ont area
gotta love the old V-max! but not so much the suspension lol 🤣 some fellas would put longer brackets for the rear mounts to raise the tunnel a bit bit you'd probably be better off swapping In a skidoo M-10 or a polaris Xtra 10 or something like that for more travel and a better ride. hope that helps 🍻
Great post and good luck with it. I’d love to see you post gps top speed. I have a 2002 srx I bought in 2016. Had 1500 miles on it. Was in mint condition. Guy must have kept in temp control garage. Such great acceleration. 93.5mph on gps last winter.
absolutely! thanks for watching 🍻. we will definitely test it out for top speed...we just need some cold weather and snow lol. we have the radar gun ready and we also picked up a dragy GPS race timer so we should be able to get some good results 👍
Just found a1998 mountain srx 700 last year here in Central Iowa. Wich is rare. Also has the 780 big bore cylinders and whal racing secondary clutch and 8 tooth drivers yhat turn a 154" camoplast ripsaw track. It's currently under restoration now. And would anybody KNOW WHERE TO GET ORIGINAL TUNNEL STICKER GRAPHICS FOR THE SIDE????
I’ve never owned a triple but my friends have and none of them ever kept them they said most of the time they didn’t run but when they did run they were a beast how come the three cylinders never lasted that long.
RUSH , BEST INTRO EVER ! Those Yamahas ! Bastards ! They were Fast ! I ride Polaris , Yamaha got me into Mods ! I’ve been Tweekin’ my Polaris’s ever since ! Damn you Yamaha ! This Shit is Expensive ! But I’ll Smoke you through the Trees and Twisties , Go Polaris ! HERTERS RULES MAN ! Old school
I picked it up from the dealership down the highway from us for $1900. which in these times with all of the crazy covid prices on sleds was a pretty good deal I thought. and they gave me the new stator with it, so that was a bonus 🍻.
As you are now known as a go-to for older sleds and have 35 thousand views, it would be a good idea to Not have some inexperienced enthusiast using a torch trying to revitalize his or her sled plastics. The heat gun sounds like the one of one choice. But besides that I like your videos. Have a good one Eh?
The days of the 2000s muscle sleds was a gooood time.
Literally the reason I got into sleds. Heard about the thundercat and had to get one, been hooked ever since. Lol
Still riding my 2000 SRX 5500 miles! One of the funnest sleds ever
Love that triple sound not much can beat that.
I had the same sled. It was great! Now I have an 01 vmax 700 triple. Yamaha triples are a blast

Settle down yahmy tommy! Lol
Own a 2002 still love that sled. I take her out a few times a year. They are really fast sleds

I had a 99. My favorite. sled.
It's like magic, turned a U SaRX (used SRX) into a Yes SiRX. Been too many years of missing sleds for me, thanks for the 3rd hand experience R&D.
That brings Memories Back Viper SX Viper 3 cylinder
I'm currently resurrecting a 98 SRX700. Thanks for your videos they make me laugh and give a little insight!!
Thanks for watching!!
Just another model that I’d buy in a heartbeat if I found a deal like that.

Love that 700 triple triple Keep shiny side up
Nothing sounds better than a Triple 2 Smoke..... NOTHING...
That's one of my have to have Sled's! I love the sound of the 3x3x3!!! 😲

hey sorry, I was down sick the past couple days...no spark could likely be a kill switch issue, bad wiring, or cdi
Thanks for the video! Bought an old Arctic cat 800 efi with the same problem. Going to work on it!
Thanks
Dont mind if i do grab a cold one or a few thru this video thank you for sharing

These were a beast back in the day!
absolutely! 🍻
My father and I just realized we watch your videos and we didnt know it. Great stuff! Keep it going!@@rednecksdirtyhands
If I remember correctly srx 700 makes like between 130 - 140 hp
Bout 140.

Just clean the carbs there eh, especially the pilot jets and put her back together and have some fun
Amazing shape for that year
My father sold one of these mint condition low miles. Sold it for cheap too that bastard!
Awesome videos man!
the 01 and 02 were the best great machines
Nice, I just picked up a 2001
SXR for $600!
Nice one! 🍻
Was riding w a bunch of friends back in 03' in the Tug Hill and a new guy to our group had one of these and he was faster than my MXZ and my Buddy's f7, it was sneaky fast
Dude, I have seen that sled at the cat shack before, didn't realize I was that close to you

I have a 97 vmax 600 twin and was wondering if you knew about any suspension mods I could do to increase my travel
gotta love the old V-max! but not so much the suspension lol 🤣 some fellas would put longer brackets for the rear mounts to raise the tunnel a bit bit you'd probably be better off swapping In a skidoo M-10 or a polaris Xtra 10 or something like that for more travel and a better ride. hope that helps 🍻
@@rednecksdirtyhands Thanks! Just picked up a 99 srx 600 with 3k miles. We will see if she dangles this winter!
Mine is a 99 and in way way better condition than that and most all others I have seen. They have an amazing sound to them.

Good find liked it. I think the SXR the faster sled than the SRX red heads are the desirable one?
thanks 🍻
No the redheads don’t have power valves and make less power but super reliable.

Had one number of years ago. It was crazy faster.
What’s the compression on the old girl.?
it's showing 120 across the board so not too bad..she sounds good anyway lol🍻 just need some snow so we can let her go!!
@@rednecksdirtyhands grass works
What brand was the aftermarket stator and is it still running now with it?
I forget what brand it was...they gave it to me with the sled when I bought it off the cat shack...but yeah she's still runnin with it! cheers 🍻
Any updates on thus sled ?

Wondering, any reason for the switch from reverse video back to normal in some of your video's?
Group , Mountain Sprout , song , Little Bird
It's never that simple for me. When they say minor repairs, it means overhaul... LOL
Dude has a country singers voice….
Curious, what did you pay for it ?

@@rednecksdirtyhands Not a bad price for such a Badass sled, Enjoy !!!
How much did you buy that? Would you sell it?
It's about time
🍻
Where are you located buddy
small town near peterborough Ontario 🍻
@@rednecksdirtyhands awesome guy was just wondering I’d bring my sleds to you for service like your content
Dyno numbers yet?

Always replace the fuel pump in these.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuckin right
Winner winner chicken dinner lol.
