The Snowmobile Style Archives - All the sled you can handle!
My good friend Dave recently had his Polaris 800 snowmobile engine give out and with a little searching we found a non PERC 800 motor to replace it with, here’s what you need to know.
It’s almost that exciting time of year again when we get to take the sled out of storage, give it a good tuneup and take it out on the mountain trails or snow packed fields, or maybe even on the soon to be frozen lake.
2005 Arctic Cat Z370LX Snowmobile with less than 400 miles on it, a beautiful thing. It’s owner gave it regular maintenance and an Arctic Cat dealer installed the track studs, the sled is in prime condition with no rips or scratches.
Yamaha Snowmobiles are built with performance in mind and this 2011 Yamaha Apex EFI Fuel Injected sled is no exception. It has power steering, an electric start and reverse gear for easy handling. This model also came with a high performance 4-cylinder Genesis 4-Stroke engine however this particular model has received valve timing, intake and exhaust tuning to perform in midrange conditions, such as on mountain trails. The result is exceptional throttle response and improved fuel efficiency. Of course no Yamaha Apex sled is complete without a Camoplast ripsaw track to accelerate through the snow with style, snowmobile style.

Every once in a while you come across something that is both precious and fantastic, that just happened to me when I first watched this 1960s Vintage Snowmobile Video Footage. It looks like this vintage sled footage is from late 1965 or 1966 judging by the Snojet snowmobiles and the white hooded OMC. The vintage sled video footage also has some great scenes of front powered Bolens snowmobiles as well as countless now classic cars lining the road to see the vintage snowmobile races.
World famous snowmobile manufacturer has entered the digital video game realm on Xbox 360 making slednecks the world over rejoice. When you pick up what has to be the best Xbox 360 game on the planet I highly recommend just holding the throttle down and taking in the beautiful scenery and wild terrain for a little while before getting some serious points on. You can almost smell the chill in the air.
Snowmobiles and their related activities helped generate $71.6 million dollars in 2008 and Ontario accounted for nearly a quarter of all snowmobilers in Canada that year so it’s hoped that investing in the snowmobile industry this year will continue to help generate more revenue as well as increase awareness in the sport. the Ontario federation of Snowmobile Clubs announced the $3M investment today in the following press release.
Snowmobile windshield – safety dictates that you see where you’re riding at all times when on the snowmobile trails, make sure your windshield is up to the task of keeping you safe. A cracked windshield, or no windshield at all, can do more than help freeze the tip of your nose while you ride you sled.
Used snowmobile tracks available for several different applications including racing tracks, trail tracks and Camoplast tracks, take a look. Snowmobile tracks wear out like most parts that move on your sled, don’t get caught out in the cold with worn tracks this winter.
Snowmobile performance can be gauged by the sum of its parts and performance snowmobile suspension components are a popular upgrade amongst snowmobile enthusiasts. Why? Because that white powdery stuff can be just as unforgiving as regular blacktop at times and when it is a good suspension system is important.
Every once in a while you snowmobile exhaust system will need to be replaced to restore performance and to keep the decibels relatively quiet. When that time comes feel free to ask questions, perhaps we can help you find the part you need at the price you want to pay.
