So look like Shawn (Teaches bro) picked up a sled for the winter. Well I can not have 1 sled at the house so it is my turn. Looking to get something quikc and fun in the trails for jumps and carving. Could careless about going the fastest on the ice but rather for beating on, jumping, and trails. What sleds do I want to look at used? Looking to keep costs down.

verticalfrank

first place to start would be budget, let me know what you're looking to spend. You should be able to pick something decent up for about 2,500 or so. I'll keep my eyes peeled. Fro what you want to do you probably want a Ski-doo MX-Z 600 or a Arctic Cat ZR 600 or a Polaris Edge. You should be able to get any of those sleds in that proce range. You can finnd a lot of good deals in The Want Advertiser, that's where I found my sled. Seems you can usually find sleds a little cheaper in Mass and parts of NH because the people for those areas don't get as much snow and they always have to trailer them far away to ride. Most people in Maine usually want top dollar and the sleds have more miles, from what I've seen. I know Mike has a real nice MX-Z for 4k with all kinds of extras.

2500 is a good price range. Keep a eye out for me. 4k is to much right now.

verticalfrank

will do

soooooo, how 'bout them SOX !

ftrain

I would spend less but I do not want to be standing out there in the cold trying to get it started all the time.

verticalfrank

that's my advise you don't want a shitbox b/c you'll end up having to work on it all the time and get discouraged with the sport.

Similar to buying a Suzuki

verticalfrank

very simialr, although I can't say much Arctic Cat has a Suzuki engine

verticaljay

who's motor was dropped last night???????????????

Jay6

Because I am a meat head and decided to crash....NOT because my bike sucks like richard simmons at a rest stop

verticaljay

all the work I have been doing to my bike was because of crashes, but when my bike crashes I dont need to re-weld a damn motor....even when I was running just sliders


thank you for shopping shaws please come again

verticalfrank

how many engines have you put in that thing?

Jay6

Please, there is more JB weld on your bike than aluminum

Also, how many motors have you been through in a 01? Mines a 95 ans still got the origional? Thank you and now you may lick my anus

verticaljay

1 when I bought it

1 after I blew one

so 2 but 1 when Ive been riding it

chris has already rebuilt 1, and replaced 1

Dave blew 1

you cracked a motor mount too


thank you drive thru

verticalfrank

all in all, as a whole in a whole, everything is everything.

verticaljay

only jb weld I have is on the tank due to the massive abuse it has taken and the condition it was in when I bought it.

frank has more jb weld then I do in his motor alone.

yours is a 95 that you have been riding for 4 months and you already had a severe engine knock and a busted motor mount right through the motor.


thank you for dining at arby's please come again
