Awesome thanks
Had 1980 Yamaha srx440. Bulletproof sled. Never did anything. Mixed 32:1. And off I went. Won poker rally’s, drag races, etc. Drove it for 4 years. Wonderful sled. Should have kept it.
I ride a polaris mod sled but damn this is great knowledge keep it up boys!
Nice job on vid very helpful !!!
Thanks!
I made one of those spring remover tools after I watched one of your videos! Super helpful rather than using a pair of pliers
Works great. Got a bunch of them scattered around.
Great video boys
Thanks Bill!
Thanks for this video. This video has made realize I should probably check all that stuff on the ZR 6000 I picked up before running it. I am sure I will watch this video 6 more times tomorrow when Im going through each part. I already replaced the Pipe temp sensor because it was throwing that code when I bought it.
It gives you some piece of mind. At least you know that the basics are all checked out
Every cat owner has been waiting for this THANK YOU!!.
On Bens sled, front skid mounts are those skid stiffeners or does that raise the height of the mount?( pushing the skid down and reducing ski pressure?)
Nice vid. Can you do a vid of what you do for storing sleds like this for the summer? Also, I'm starting to hear my primary clutch. Bit of a rattle. Is it time to rebuild it? Get a new one? Thanks man! Always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Mr chows old sled Is that the chassis that doo sued over just wondering.
To to grease the crank bearings too
Oil sight glasses universally should be half way up. The air molecules entrained in the oil expand causing the fluid level to rise with temperature. In the case of a chaincase its not as crucial but in gearboxes, transmissions, engines ect. this level may rise too much causing components to smack the oil and cause airation/foaming and oil pumps will suck that up instead of pure liquid.
I changed my chain case oil and I noticed that one of the tabs on the case was cracked (top right tab). After the first ride after changing the oil I notice oil all over my can, the case housing, and the bottom of my snowmobile under the chain case. Also, just after the ride I could see a milky whit film sitting on the top of the oil (maybe water mixed in with the oil)in the sight window. The local dealer said to unscrew the bolt with the broken tab and put RTV silicon around that broken tab to see if that stops the leaking... (Doesn’t make sense to me since the tab is at the top of the case. Does seem like that much oil would drain from the top of the case)Any suggestions? The oil was originally at the top of the sight glass (filled with a 15oz bottle )and now after 2 rides its sitting at half way in the sight glass. Should I just buy an new case cover with the oil reservoir for 150? Any suggestions? Thanks, and keep the videos coming!
Great video guys, it’s a good idea to wash your belt with warm soapy water when your cleaning your clutches, they do get dirty through the year and can cause slippage that effects peak performance. What about power valve cleaning? Do you guys do this as a regular maintenance item?
You certainly can do this. It's not something that I don't make a habit of doing. I know people who will even take some emery cloth and resurface the edge of their belt in any glazed areas. My opinion on that is that it doesn't offer much. Once that belt gets hit with heat and tension again, you'll be right back to where it started. But some guys stand by it.
Hey man love the vids keep them coming! Also I just ran into some troubles with my 15 m8000. PTO side piston is scored so I'll be doing a top end and possibly a cylinder too. Anything I should look out for when doing the top end? And do you know of any videos for clutch weight changing? Cant seem to find any on CZcams. Thanks!
Check your seals for leaking or any holes in the intake in the front of the hood. Have seen that before! Check to make sure the vent is working on the oil cap too. As far as clutching there should be charts available, depending on what you want to do
@@syxxes thanks!
Man do I ever love ur vids , u make great content ! Keep up the great word ... can’t wait to see u rip the cat
Thank you so much for watching!
My High Country has a coil and float shock on the rear. Any idea how the coil should be set up? What do you typically run for pressure in your front and rears?
There is no right answer for this. They are set up the way you want them to be setup. Factory setup is 90PSI front. 150PSI rear for air shocks.
What part of Alberta are you boys from?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, videos are great and help a fellow M8000'er out quite a bit. Can I get a professionals opinion on cost versus benefit of upgrading y-pipe and exhaust, power commander, reeds? Do you or did your buddies notice an improvement in performance that would justify the cost, I know that's a subjective question but would be interested in a professionals take.
Reeds clean up the bottom end quite a bit. Some people notice, others don't. I'm not a huge fan of running anything but an exhaust can. Once you do that full exhaust, intake you're getting to the point you need that fuel controller to regulate your machine.
Honestly, I'm not into running power commander or any other programmer. For the power you get back out of it vs the frequent trouble they cause for one reason or another, on a STOCK ENGINE I don't think it's worth it.
But that's just one Tech's opinion!
Syxxes Performance your two stroke cats take 15 ounces of oil your four strokes take 12 ounces cuz of the extra gears and chain
I had a mouse nest above my track first time firing it up what a mess
Oh no
Wouldn't you want synthetic chain case oil on the newer m8s? I might be wrong on that
You can use whatever you want
Do you leave old fuel in from spring that has been treated with Sta-bil? I have always filled mine in spring with treatment and then pulled it and put into lawn mower or something instead and put fresh fuel in for the new season as a precaution but maybe its overkill. Just seemed like good practice.
There is a lot of different things that people do that everyone swears by their own way. What I do, is in the Spring, I add fuel treatment/stabilizer to the machine before storage with whatever fuel is left from my last ride. Then come Winter again, I just top off the fuel. Never had an issue with this. Generally a Cat with throw an OCTANE code if it is unhappy with quality of the fuel.
Syxxes Performance Awesome thanks for sharing the info and looking forward to another awesome season of edits from you bys. Can’t wait to get out on machine again, been far too long.
Just picked up a 2016 m8000. It only has 280 miles on it but there’s quite a bit of threads coming off the side of the track. What causes this? Should they just be burnt off?
That's pretty normal. The cause of that is in most cases is from aggressive side-hilling and track speed. The track will actually 'hunt' back and forth on the rails a little bit under certain side load conditions. I see it pretty often, small threads coming off the edge of the track. Just hit 'em with some heat and burn them off if they are bugging you. That's what I do.
Brake?
Do you have any ideas of why my 2013 m800 dies when put into reverse?
Nope. Would have to diagnose it.
What do you think of an 2012 nytro xtx 1,75 as an crossover?
hunter01uj sweden great for trail I just sold mine keep in mind I never lived close to a mountain but even in fresh powder it still did great
They handle the trails very well. I've spent some time on one in the mountains and the flats. If you are looking to spend a lot of time in the deep snow, this isn't the machine for you. If you are wanting to just go off the trail a little, they work great.
Okay. Yeah i will use trails to come to lakes and smaller hills and nice forests. So it will not be like a 60 degree hill and the snow is mostly around 1 - 1,5 m deep.
Hi Syx, i have a 12 m8 but with aftermarket runningboards that are in the way for the chaincase, How do i only take out the chaincase without removing the oil tank? Need to remove it cuz the chain oil was leaking.
You probably have to just fine the right T-30 to get at the bolt if that's your problem. I've done probably 100s of chain case services on all sorts of units with aftermarket boards, and I've never had that problem.
@@syxxes Is it possible to send u some photos? The front off the runningboard curves shligtly over the oiltank
@@wildoutvolvoboys3268 You can send them through DM on our Instagram and can have a look
@@syxxes Awesome, thanks man.
You don't check the throttle safety switch when running the sled?
99% of the time, that switch will fail closed and you'll know right away that something is up. It's not a full check-over video, this is just the basics to be ready for the season.
Isn't there a oil drain plug on the inside of the tunnel for the chain case, rather than dump that oil on the belly pan?
On '12-'16(+ '17 non-mountain cat) models there is no drain plug. The cover needs to be opened to drain the oil. 2018 and up M models have a drain plug (+'17 Mountain Cat models)
@@syxxes oh no shit! That is dumb. Mines an 18
It’s supposed to be halfway at sight glass hense the 12oz limit
You can put in 15 to top it up.
What do you do about mice?
You can use dryer pads to keep them out of your machine during storage. If they're been into your sled, clean it all out, check all electrical and oil lines.
Some steel wool in the muffler outlet definitely helps out in the off season.
do you need to chek rave valve and reed valve ??
If you want to, sure. I'm going over the basics in this video to keep it from turning into a full-checkover. Cause there is always something else that can be checked.
make sure shocks not leaking oil
Its air shocks
How to take care of you alpha video up yet ? Lol ...
Yeah. We tossed it off the trailer!
I was hoping the would be more of a joke video like if you have a two banger you should restock on the uinacorn piss for proper braaps
Always carry extra of that on the mountain anyways!
