- Hey everyone, here's a quick video of us picking up the 1995 Yamaha VMax 4 800 Snowmobile. The muscle sled from the early 90's that is famous for its 4-cylinder engine, and power that is unbeatable from its time.
Had a blast going to pick up this thing, can't wait to put it up against the 2024 Turbo Sidewinder to see if I can really beat my dad on the VMax. (hahaha) They don't make 'em like they used to.
Stay tuned for when the snow arrives here shortly when I'll be posting more videos riding these machines. Merry Christmas!

Nothing sounds like a VMax. They sound sick af.
man i remember when those came out, you were a boss if you had one
I bought the same sled new. 95 800. Out of the box it went 99 in 1000’. Top speed was 114 on radar gun.
The coolest sounding snowmobile of all time
Except for the xcr 800. Flannery workover makes that one untouchable.
Awesome that people take care of and restore these sleds.
Cool sled happy to see some Yamaha content….truly make some sweet power plants
More coming on the way! Thanks haha
Great song choice.....mx unleashed will never die
Nice, I had the same sled. We used to grass drag and my best friend Dean “Dino” had an un defeated Indy 650 that we had weighed and torn apart every weekend lol because they thought we were cheating. He was
135 lbs soaking wet and had a super fast reaction time. That sled was stock with “Hot To Go “ triple pipes. 103 in 660 feet. Anyway at the end of the 95 grass season we were in Torrington Connecticut and I saw the 95 stock VMaxx 4 800 kicking the shit out of every one in its class by 5-6-7 sleds at least. I told Dean that’s the one. I got the guys info and a few weeks later my pops and I drove from Marlboro Ny to Syracuse 3 hrs, did a kitchen install, then headed to Maine in our brand new F150. We pulled over on side of highway slept a few hours woke up and went to the dudes house. When we got there he was riding it around his yard. It was smoking like mad. He said he hooked the injectors back up because he was using mixed gas for racing. The machine was blue printed as well. Every wheel underneath was perfect and so on. So I get it home and excited I start it and it wasn’t like my other Yamahas including my father 78 SRX where you’d just pull it a few inches in bam it was on. Nooo it was bitch. So I called him and he said it was the right oil blah blah and for me to get it out and run it to clean it out. Then…. My fiancé, Dean and his, our other bf couple and 30 others went upstate to old Forge for New Year weekend. We go out the first morning and it wouldn’t start. Dean was in window shaking his head saying “ This poor bastard” Then finally it does and we go trailing to the lake of course. I’m all pumped and…. 72 mph wide open getting laughed at and passed by 500s… wtf? So I call local dealer, my girl fuming because all I can think about is why it’s such a dog, she actually threw her engagement ring at me because I was salty and didn’t even want to go party, I sucked it up and got shitfaced to numb my pain. Next morning Dealer said bring it and it’ll be 2 weeks to get looking at it! So I sucked it up went home and called the guy again. I said do me a favor and tell me the oil brand you put in my injector. He was kinda pisdy with me and said “it’s the right shit it’s Yamalube R 2 cycle racing oil for mix.” It wasn’t injection oil! Sooo I drained it, called my father who was making fun of me because I blew $9000 on another dog after my Exciter debacle. Yea that’s another story. I put the new oil in and my old man’s face lit up when I just barely pulled it and it started with the most beautiful brappp ever. Then I went up to my cousins shop that weekend and got her ready for Sunday. I jetted it a little leaner and replaced some missing picks. Sunday! We head to our local abandoned in the airport in the back of town surrounding by apple orchards and there were already guys leaving with their tail between their legs because Dino was smoking them. One guy with his Thundercat turned around to race me and saw me drive around a Ski Doo Mach that jumped the light and pull him by 20 sleds literally. I was so excited that I went about 500 feet further that the finishe because it was still pulling. Sooo then lol it was me against my best friend who I pitted for helped and well he was my bf I was his best man so yea. We line up and boom I get the light and he stopped lol and said I jumped but I didn’t… then he gets the light, I’m right on hi ankles then he’s a foot in front and I’m still pulling and we just about tie but he got me. So what do we do, we give a hug he gets on my machine me on his I got the light he passed me and he got me by 7 sleds! I’m 220 he’s 135. Point to my story…. Go on a diet if you want to go faster. The vmaxx 4 was the most beautiful design of any snowmobile to this day, only second to the 78 Yamaha SSR 440….
Absolutely love it! That h thing is a gem!
The srx is a force to be reckoned with for sure
Hahaha, we will have to see which comes out on top. Stay tuned for that one...
Beautiful sled, none better than a Yami!
One of the best sounding sleds ever. Amazing find!
Had one in our riding group, not a great trail sled even for the time. It was fast but handling, ride and most importantly (in northern Ontario) the fuel mileage was horrible with a tiny tank. More than once we had to siphon gas in to it because it ran out before 100km when all our Doos would go 200km+.
@@SRXhounds perfect use… and that’s what that guy did too. Kept the VMAX for the lake and bought an MXZ 670 for the trails.
That sled's mint!
That is a gem👌🏻. Love the old stuff. Cool video.
Can’t believe we are all in the same boat waiting for snow. I would have thought y’all would have some by now.
Dave
Remarkable sled!! Cant wait to see the videos of the 95
It’s coming, same with the snow haha!
We own a vmax4 800 mountain max.. they are very cool!
Nice snowmobiles from back in the day. Lots of HP a little on the heavy side but lots of upper end pull. Arm stretching fun.
LAWD HAM MERCY!!! shes clean AF
Sweet Sled
WOW awesome find!!!
Appreciate it! More coming here on it.
sweet looking sled. i didnt know they put 4 cylinders in snowmobiles. maybe i should start looking for one
Very hard to find, only a few thousand made of these.
Wow Nice find!

Absolutely Gorgeous Sled!!! 😮 With that Track, she's gonna be a Ripper!! Keep us Posted!!

Nice snowpony fella🤙 Headstrong is a great song, your gonna need to be ARMSTRONG to handle that monster😎
Hahaha that’s for sure. 😂
Wow what a find in 🇨🇦 in that shape and 12 km's on it! Not much snow here in Ontario but hopefully by next week we will be on the OFSC trails. Nice sled, had a vmax 600, 1996 twin. Was a great sled.
Beautiful...
Sweet sled
Appreciate it!
Those are awesome sleds my dad bought a 96 Vmax for brand new. It had 500 miles on it from me and somebody stole it and never got a recovered and of course we didn’t have insurance😢
sick sled man!
Thanks appreciated!
Someone took very nice care of that sled
Museum piece...
Wow what a beautiful sled!! Talk about almost winning the lotto with this find!!!! Is that original miles on it!?!?
Sexy sled. It's sad Yamaha is getting out of the game. Nice sled though!
Great looking sled! I prefer this black one over the red ones in 96 and 97! How much did you pay for it?
Dang no snow even in alberta???
Nothing here yet… hopefully soon. Haha
Can we be friends? Lol I’m in Edmonton and I bleed blue too. My all time favourite sled , even edging out the apex!
WTH do you find one that cherry?
Too bad that motor was not put into a better chassis
Awesome is that 12 Original Miles on this beast??
I had a 95 vmax4 crazy fast but the suspension SUCKED as did all the pro action suspensions
Is that a survivor at 12 miles? Or was it completely restored?
I have two 1994's still pulling hard. Love them and the era. 12 miles on a 96 V-Max 4! Must have given the original owner a heart attack 😬
Mind if I ask what you paid for that beauty?
fast as hell but susp sucks as i had one
Sorry to all you fan boys, this thing was a slug from the get go.
