Really clean 500ss. I’d start by checking compression, spark, new plugs, confirm fuel delivery & jets are clean. I blew up my axys 800 and it sounded just like this but got me home 20 miles with 50psi compression on PTO cyl.
Still one of my favorite channels paiste boy and his friends are great. finally got snow in New Hampshire and hitting the trails with family Thursday. Have a great season be safe looking forward to the videos
My son and I both have 2006 GSX 500 SS's. He has 2800 miles, I turned 6100 last year in Quebec. Both engines original, ~135 psi. I love my 500ss great sled. I run it a hair rich, probably why its doing so well. We just replaced the rear shocks on his. We'll open our trail system this weekend likely!
Awesome vid fellas…..funny shiznit.
Bought a new 04 500SS for my wife. Funny story…..
In 05 we took it as a spare sled for a RAP Tour.
My good Buddy was Ricky Racin’ the SS after his sled burned down. He was following sooo close on the trails - that snow dust packed around the carbs & iced up.
Anyhooo, we were standing beside the trail blipping the throttle cause it was rough idling.
Sled ripped off down the trail - no rider - ice had jammed the throttle open.
Went about 1000’ then off into brambles & small trees.
Only damage was some decals & bent up muffler system.
Pretty helpless watching a riderless sled…..lol.
I would recommend flushing the brake fluid on that 500SS. I had my GSX out on Tug Hill this weekend and the caliper locked up from the old fluid in it and it ended up catching fire and melted some stuff. I was able to get it out in time and rectify the problem, but ended up doing a fluid flush back at my truck quick and was fine for the rest of the weekend. I guess the older Rev's are know for it. You can see it happen in my video I posted on my channel. Waiting for your Old Forge video! We took a ride up to Old Forge in the truck on Saturday during the rain event while we couldn't ride. We stayed in Lyons Falls for the weekend at The Edge.
Right on boys Zuke nice Blizzuke that 500 is in nice shape as well a new set of plugs running on one cylinder isn’t good. Lol 😂.
Enjoy your ride in old forge and keep the Rubber side Down. 👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
My 04 500ss 3k on her runs great still booking ny this yr going to see u boys
It's a 2004. Had a 600ho just like it.
@Paisteboy I have those years pretty much memorized by the decals. Kind of a geek with that stuff. I still have my O6 Rev. I'm almost at 12000 miles on my 16 800 Blizzard. Compression was great last year. I'll be going to Canada for the Mudbrats get together. Hopefully this sled is still running. I have over 400 miles on it this year. By the end of today I'll have 12000. 😎
One of my favorite videos. Nothing like getting together with the boys and working on sleds. It's the best of times.
Thanks Jason. I like these kind of videos as well. I have fun making them too. Thanks for watching.
