  • Liquid-cooled 597cc lightweight triple with fuel efficient 34mm carbs
  • Slower then a horse with a broken leg.
  • XTRA-12 suspension with 10" front and 11.6" rear travel
  • Sounds like a baffed '82 Enticer with one cylinder.
  • Compression adjustable( in the summer only ) Indy Select rear shock.
  • Can be modified to carry 30 ice cold light beer incase you drive into a party because you never know. .
  • Tool-less front spring pre-load adjustment
  • Requires fresh pistons every few thousands miles along with other time consuming mantainence.
  • Hydraulic disc brake, new front bumper, improved drive chain, E-Z Steer carbide ski runners
  • Comes without studs. We let you do all the work and pay a pretty penney for them to boot.
  • Spits tracks out at random milage intervals.
  • Occasionally will not start. In this last situation, remember you have 30 beer with you. Don't let them freeze.

The above picture was taken on the trail from Long Lake to Penache on a Saturday morning in mid March, 1998. Some of the best riding that we had all year. On my way to Vilgren's camp to 'fish'.

A few of the more worthwhile snowmobiling links I have found.

Snowmobile Trail Conditions - Give the trail conditions for all of North America. Other useful features as well.

American Snowmobiler One of the better sites for up to date industry information.

Starting Line Products Just incase you feel like spending some money.

Timmins Snowmobile Great sledding to be had around these parts. Trail conditions reported with maps as well.

The Shop Online Great dealership but their website is not kept up to date.  Was my  local dealer in the 1990's. Always treated me well over the years that I racked up the big miles.

I didn't bother with links to the main manufacturs since they're easy to find on the web.
