- @phazed_and_confused and @sled_lab on instagram This is my 1989 phazer I got carried away with. Including the sled and every thing on it as it sits I have 1300.00 in to it. I think it's the most modified first gen phazer on the planet. Please share this video. I want to see more of these projects. This thing is over 100lbs lighter than a pro rmk 155 (wet weight on both). No snow sticks to mine, so in real world riding its 130-150 lbs lighter. Way easier to get unstuck, cheaper to repair, better mpg, and goes 95% of the places an 800 rmk can go. I know this because I have a 2014 pro rmk 155 800 and a 2015 summit t3 174, and the phazer is the most fun to ride. Next summer I plan to build an aluminum bulk head head for it and countless other mods over next summer to shave even more weight, and a turbo kit is in the works as well.
Dude make an update on this thing, I wanna see it in snow looks great
Just putting out new videos right now.
that's gotta be the coolest classic sled I've seen. great job man! love the color scheme. kinda wanna do this to my 97 wedge chassis
That is the coolest looking sled I have ever seen! I am looking forward to more videos.
New.video
hey awesome build! me and the old man did a phazer 2 one time, nothing like yours, just a mountain phazer witha 1.5''' ripsaw, rebuilt with wiesco pistons, dg pipe, carbon reeds from the newer phazer, shaved the fan and a few more things but mostly stock.. what a weapon!! used to follow a sx viper 144 deep snow special wherever it could it go! love these little 485's!
Not a Phazer fan but I love seeing what people do with their old iron. Nice work.
This is one of the coolest project snowmobiles I’ve ever seen! Keep it up!
like it.. just picked up 89 phaser for $50.. out a barn.. ditch banger for my 13yr.. u gave me some great ideas... thx for video.. bbbrraaaaaappppp
that phazer is awesome!!!!
Awsome! Just like mountain sledding used to be 25 years ago! Built not bought. Now you can't do a whole lot to them other than a can and a decal kit.Cheers from Alberta!
Nice , alot of work went into it . I use to have a 1995 Phazer mountain lite , it went good .
I saw this on Craigslist and thought it was really cool. Nice build.
+Crossfire800 thanks, i was offered 2,900 for it and decided to keep the sled
I love this, just bought my first Phazer 2 a couple days ago. I know absolutely nothing about snowmobiles but I want to mod it like crazy!
The best thing U can do is put a AAEN pipe on it, best bang for the buck
Very sweet,great platform.
That is the most badass thing I've seen in a while.
I love it cant wait to see a video of it in the snow....
+rageridersrx there will be plenty of those videos
Sick dude. I just bought one for $350. Runs mint cant wait to give a good first rip.
Get a AAEN pipe, it will wake it up
Craziest sled ever was an exciter I saw that had a twin 800 wound out........so damn loud!
awesome job on the sled Jesse looks amazing. happy sledding cheers!!!
Nice work - long live the O.G. Phazer!!
Great sled, Jesse. I ride an 89 here in Japan with similar mods. But I am a hack and you are clearly an artist. More please!
+Akatarawa Japan thanks dude. waiting for the snow to fall here. japan looks sweet. watched some of your vids.
Please please PLEASE make a video on you riding it! :D I love these old Phazers, and this looks amazing.
+Joakim Liland sorry I don't have any videos of it. The few times I had a chance to ride it this year was breaking in the engine, and testing clutching setups. Where I live in mn never had more than 10 inches on the ground, and the U.P. Never got deep enough for my liking. Spent my time in northern Colorado riding my skidoo 174.
Damn, seeing a modded phazer is like my childhood dream. Its awesome you did this, really love it. Hope you can upload a video of you riding it in the near future.
I got the same skis as you for my phazer, I love them!
Really nice work!!!
That's a badass phazer
This is a one of a kind bad ass sled.
you built a bad ass sled
That is a beautiful looking sled.
Sweet ride. Love me some old Yammy 2-Strokes !!!
This is the best thing ever. I need to build one...
that's very cool. you've done some nice work to that sled
such a wild build!! love it
You nailed it
i'm in love with it man, currently working on my 488 indy Polaris and I wanna make it look sexy i'm making the hood gold with a warp
Like the up sticker
Looks great. I'm looking at picking up a Phazer 2, think I'm gonna take a bit of inspiration from this to make it less slow.
I have a '93 and I am very impressed with your sled! A buddy told me that slapping a set of slide carbs off a mid 90's Yamaha 500 or 600 Vmax reallys makes them run. He also said that the plungers needed mods?? Can't quite remember. Dig your sled!
Awesome build, think I seen it south of Houghton a week before Christmas
From the up as well buddy hell yeah
when are you gonna make a video of testing it in snow? please make one. thanks
There's no way in hell your getting 90hp out of that little fan cooled rwin! My race prepped 440's were barely making 80-90hp. ..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
love the paint job sweet color
That is one bad ass sled I'm hopefully getting a 1991 Yamaha excited 570cc a 1993 Yamaha exciter 570cc and a 3 place trailier an I wanna make one like this
I love the seat job!!
Dude, that's a sweet job. I love it "way over the F@ckin Top". LMAO! You've thought of everything in here and the cold air intake is ultra smart, and makes me wonder why they didn't do a better job with that from the factory. Ive got an 89 SRV I've been restoring and it's an absolute blast to ride. I'm toying with the idea of making it a long track, but it's so close to original now, I'd hate to screw it up. Color scheme on the phazer is good, but I think I might have used a little less blue and maybe used some bare aluminum on the running board traction screws. I don't know, just htink some silver accenting would make it pop. But seriously, awesome job!
Amazing build man. Love it.
Awsome build man.
If you want a good skid plate go to a junk yard and get the plastic skid plate from a 85-94 Chevy s10 blazer or a s15 Jimmy and trim it down to size. It fits the belly pan great.
We need to see this in the snow!! i have a 93 exciter II (non sx) that could lose some weight and become a solid modifiable machine... but the phazers are generally better from what i understand...
New video up
Exciter is just a big Phazer, I've had both
wow I have a 1990 Phazer II - And a 1988 Exciter liquid cool
If you are using it in the mountains you should use a bigger shock because the fox floats blow
with that pipe, a layer taken out of the head gasket, some vmax 600 carbs, and clutching, ive seen those things walk all over lots of 600s of its day. all of those parts you can find in a junkyard for peanuts being so old now. the stock pipe and carbs choked those sleds off pretty bad.
I fuckin love this thing
looks awsome!.
Update please. This thing is gorgeous
That is so cool I did the same with an ovation
this is awesome man ,had to subscribe plan on doing some similar mods to mine possibly a 144 track and skid I found on craigslist though!
Good stuff!
man i just seen a pic powermods posted on fb of this! it looks sick
Different sled, I think. Crazy colors? That's my cousins.
Nice.. I have a 86 that's had some mods to it, Engine bored pipied and widened and got bigger slide carbs..it's crazy..
I got video on my channel..
I just saw u at a gas station today in eagle river and nice sled
Haha sweet! Getting some footage in the U.P.
The rear is sort of a single shot rear skid,cool.
I hate phazers, but I love this sled, so much vision and work went into this, its cool, and prolly a great sled to ride?
It's almost more snowbike than snowmobile it's so light and maneuverable
Defly cool!
This is great, would love to see a running video tho
Running video? Got one up for ya.
dude good job fuckibg hilarious, but cool seriously you said 90hp that's rad
Nice job!
Nice Work!
holy fuck its looking dope man geat work i would love to make one to
You still have that jem of a sled? My first sled was a 88 phazer. Id still have it if it didnt get stolen. I still miss that sled.
yooper trooper
I'm curious why Yamaha and other companies didn't make mountain versions like this back in early 90s and late 80s, I mean, the technology was there already. Hadn't they figured out that longer tracks and bigger pegs make them better in the deep snow? I just don't get it.
Anyways, really cool build!
Nice that's pretty cool
Sick Ride
Very good, indeed!😃⤴️⤴️
almost looks like you could fit an arctic cat laydown twin out of an M8 in that thing
great machine!!
the most tricked out custom sled
That looks insane, post a vid once its done please
Dude so wicked lol
Hey Jesse, I'm doing the same thing with my phazer and am wondering about the suspension, where did you get the rails and did you use the original guts of the suspension. thanks. awesome vid man!
+Mack Baldwin (Zombi3slayer55) its a 2015 rmk assault 144 skid i stretched to fit the 151 track. then i made some modifications to the suspension arms for the fox float to fit.
Awesome, Thanks!
Sick
nice U.P sticker got the same one on my sled
Brilliant!!!
sweet! real nice
I LOVE THAT
badass
no videos riding!?!
That's awesome
Love this.
I'm a sled-tech, and I'm doing a similar build. Came across this video just looking to see what's been done and get some ideas. Just curios what you did with the drivers and tunnel to accommodate the lugs on that track.
+Syxxes the drivers are one tooth less and still 2.52. So the smaller drivers allow for a little extra room and gears in down about 12%.
What's up Jesse it's Bryan from Colorado
+Bryan Muhme what's up dude. Sorry I don't check these comments to often. If you have that phazer when I come out for a little vacation I'll totally take it home with me, after fair compensation of course.
+jesse cook still have it better bring a big trailer picked up about 8 of them
Any advice on painting sleds? I got an 82 enticer I plan on painting but not too sure how to do it. I want the paint to last obviously and I plan on painting the hood and all the plastics and the tunnel if hats possible
My HD shop vac. runs that same air filter🤪👍
what is the skid based on? what does it weigh ? Oh and this is exactly what I've been wanting to do for a while now!!!
+rageridersrx skid is a 2014 rmk assault skid. i modified it for the mono air shock though, and made some rail extensions. full of fuel ready to ride it sits at 410lbs, and no snow sticks to the back of it, because theres no heat exchangers on the tunnel. this sled holds very little snow 5-15lbs at most. compared to modern mtn sleds can hold as much as 100lbs, and usually 50-70 lbs if your riding off trail.
What are you using for The Handlebar Riser did you have to get cable extensions? Did you just do away with the speedometer and tach?
do you have any snow there yet? i want to see this thing rip. those running boards are amazing i wanted to do the same with my 89 but i am afraid it will fold the tunnel without the stock running boards?
+Graysen Brown stock running boards are so flimsy. tubular ones increase the strength of the entire tunnel. i have been doing lots of testing the last couple days, and will be doing more this weekend.
+jesse cook yea I know stock ones are terrible and flimsy but to me looks like it gives the tunnel strength do you think I could do same type on the stock tunnel and make tunnel stronger or would I need custom tunnel like yours?
+Graysen Brown stock tunnel is totally fine. when i bought the sled, the tunnel had a massive dent in it. that was my main reason for the new tunnel. i duplicated the stock dimensions, except mine is longer.
OK awesome thanks man cant wait to see some videos of this thing ripping
Yep vids would be cool to see it action!
sad thing about phazer engines is they don't take mods to good. I know of 6 that they wiesco pistons and not long after installing all 6 machines put the right side connecting rod though the case. one had a DG PIPE. one had a aaean pipe and the other 4 were stock exhaust
Yeah. It it's like a 200$ engine. Nice and cheap to replace. Never blew and engine in thousand of miles of these growing up. Stock or modded. I know of a guy that ran a turbo @14 psi for a drag phazer. Same air cooled 485 for nine years and no problems. It's all about that tune.
Man sweet build did you make or buy the running boards
Jesse cook, where did you get the exhaust from and how does it sound? bad ass sled, I want to convert mine into a st version.
+Lawrence Armstrong aaen pipe. sounds great. doing some final touches to the sled and ill make some more videos of it.
Right on, I'm stoked to hear it rip, do I have to rejet my carb if I make that cold air intake?
Update video!!
It's here! And more to come.
I see people reversing the front forks scissors like you did, is there a reason for that?
