Waiting On Snow

This winter has been pretty bad so far, sure it's been cold but wheres the snow. It has to come sometime, like look at the people that put in so much money to get there snowmobiles ready for this winter and haven't even had a chance to move it yet. I hope Mother Nature brings us a huge snow storm with a couple feet of snow so they can open the trails. 50 dollar bounty for a person to bring down tons of snow

Yamaha SX Vmax 500

This is my Yamaha SX Vmax 500, its not in to bad of shape. i bought it this year, i put a new front shock in and a new windshield. its ready for the snow and I can not wait. I drove it today and it drove nice its actually got some power even though its only a little 500. I cant wait to take it out to the lake this year and see how fast it actually will

Painted Vents

Today I got bored so I decided to paint my air vents on my Yamaha SX Vmax 500. I was surprised how good they actually looked. Not to bad for a rookie painter, not perfect but what can I say I tried. All I can say is your sled is never done you can always change new things on it.

First Ride Of The Year On the 540 SRV

Last night it snowed quiet a bit so I had to pull out the old but reliable yama the 540 SRV. put some gas down where one of the spark plugs go and started up second pull. It was a beautiful sound to hear it running, and amazing to smell the gas and oil burning together. I missed snowmobiling so much i hope we get tons of snow so I can have more fun nights like yesterday. The sad thing was I found a Huge mouse nest behind the steering column but I just ripped it out, now its ready to go.

Bad Carbides

The guy that I bought my sled off, most of crossed a lot of roads because these carbides are down. So I decided to buy a new brand of carbides that I haven't tried before. There called the trail blazer edition 6 inch. I heard there really aggressive and they connect to anything so it should be a interesting year for me. (Went from left picture to right).

snowmobile cover

Me and my dad and his buddies went and looked at a mint 2000 MXZ 700 with 5 k on it. Everyone was thinking about buying it. I thought he wanted 2800$ for it but he only wanted 2200$. once he said that my dad buddy said sold, the guy through in a Yamaha VMAX snowmobiling cover so I told my dad buddy Ill buy the cover for 80 bucks. He said ok because come on a Yamaha cover on a Skidoo wont work. Its perfect for my Yamaha VMAX 500.

Finish Suspension

It took a little bit of work but my suspension is all back in it. Had to replace two bearings, 1 boggie wheel two new blue sliders and the new front shock. The hardest part over this whole job was putting the suspension back in and trying to line everything back up. But now all I can do is wait for the snow to come and take it out for my first ride every with it, since I just bought it this year.
