SnowMobile Information| SnowMobiles

For the most part i ride trail, ive had all Ski Doo’s and want to be sure that im not missing out

To be honest, I have never had much luck, with Arctic Cat Snowmobiles… I have had them, since 1964, and, even then, they were not much. On the other hand, I have also had Ski-Doo Snowmobiles, since 1964, and, even though, the Arctic Cats were faster, they were no good in the deep snow. They were ok, on the trails, where they were groomed, but, once you got to where they weren’t, then, they would bog down, and become stuck. Where as the old Ski-Doos, were not as fast, but, they were very good, in the deep snow, and, also where the trails were groomed as well. It seems to me, that any of the sleds that had a single cylinder engine, were better, in some respects. So, to answer your question, I would have to say… The Ski-Doo is better, for trail riding, as well as off the trail.

"I have a 84 KZ1300 that I believe jumped the timing chain. My close friend was going to fix it and we share it but he was killed in a snowmobile accident. The bike has not run for 4 years. What can I get for it either selling whole or parting out and where would be the best place to market."
Located in Northern Illinois just west of I-90 at Ill.Wisc. state line

Someone there would love to have it. Tell them you have an ebay auction going and let them bid.

Good luck.

That’s a cool and interesting old bike, but too complicated a restoration for anyone but an expert.

I’m thinking about buying a used snowmobile before winter starts, but i don’t know what to look for when it comes to parts. My friend is selling his 1991 Arctic cat formula, but i’ve had bad luck with buying used items. What do I look for on a used snowmobile, part wise, to ensure it is an alright buy?

1. Make sure it runs! Note that since it hasn’t probably started in a while, this may take several trys.
2. Make sure the throttle doesn’t stick, and make sure the breaks work fine.
3. Check for belt condition (under the hood; the belt is obviously the big ol’ belt). If it is worn, this is typical, but it will cost a tiny bit to get a new one.
3. Check if it has been raced or crashed, as this means it probably has some problems.
4. IF the sled has a non-plastic gas tank, check for any rust, sediment, ect
5. Check the track. This is very expensive to replace. If it is torn in any way, don’t get the sled unless you want to dish out some dough.

I’m looking for BOLT ON performance for a 1989 Yamaha Phazer with the 480cc engine and I can’t seem to find anything online… Air Intake, Exhaust, etc

For air intake, get the universal series of air filters from K&N. Just take a measuring tape and measure the diameter of your intake manifold, go to K&N website and order a filter of the same diameter.
I think the 1060 and 1100 series would suit you. Better verify. As for the exhaust, don’t buy it online. It might actually reduce the performance. So exhaust chambers are tricky business. Better to stick with the stock one. If not, just go to a local tuner who is reputed and has done such jobs. It requires an expert. Other performance parts you can add is a bigger jet for the carb and try different sprockets. Ultimately, there is no list that can suit a particular vehicle, you have to do it using trial and error.

Artic Cat is assembled in the States.

Polaris is assembled in the States.

Bombardier is assembled in Canada.

Yamaha is made in Japan.

The most likely source of an all American manufactured sled would be either Arctic Cat or Polaris.
