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.

Drop Suspension Out Of My Yamaha SX Vmax

Well today my dad and I dropped my suspension out of my yamaha SX Vmax 500 because I needed to replace some bearings, sliders and a new front shock. It was awful trying to get the suspension out but we did it. It only took two hours but it be worth it when the snow starts flying. Ill post a picture when my suspension is back in my sled, cant wait.

Best Time To Snowmbile

Everyone has their own opinion on their favourite time to go snowmobiling but my favourite time is in the evening, Just when the suns going down glaring over the snow. It just makes me feel like their nothing else in the world but snowmobiling. You don't worry what happened today you just worry about how much faster you can go and where we should go next.

I just bought a brand new windshield from Royal Distributing for 119.99$. I think its going to look a lot better on my Yamaha SX Vmax 500 rather then the grey windshield that is on it right now. because everyone know if the the snowmobile is blue and white go with a blue and white windshield so it blends in. My new windshield is a brand new Cobra addition. I cannot wait to see how it looks when its on, Ill post a picture when its on my sled. I cannot wait to see.

snowmobiling

     Hello everyone, this is my first blog. The reasons why I picked snowmobiling to talk is about because I love snowmobiling. All winter, first snow fall Ill be out ripping up and down the trails.Theres just something about snowmobiling, you can never get bored of it. Meeting buddies on the trails, going for breakfast and just driving around. People say money cant buy you happiness but I've never seen anyone sad on a snowmobile just a big old smile.
