- On the chopping block, we have 1997 Yamaha VMAX 500 snowmobile I purchased for $325 after being abandoned for years. There is definitely an issue in the coolant system somewhere. I am guessing head gasket! What do you think?

that old V-max is a Nice One! great video brother, and I'm glad ya found the alignment tip helpful! cheers 🍻
I just used it on mine also there brother. Works great
The 2 best sled channels on CZcams right here in this 1 comment !!
@@bhoss7133 totally. And the 2 best countries as well. NICE ONE!
have 3 yamaha vmax 700 triples. insanely reliable. that limp mode is tors sensor. probably not enough slack in throttle cable. worst case you can bypass. on top of the carbs is the idle set screw. there are 2 wires coming from that area ehich is the tors sensor. follow those wires and unplug them and then plug them into eachother instead
Another great video guys... Wow that's a lot of snow. Have a great week.
@ 9:40 there is a "dot" on the top of the ski leg, and a "dot" on the spindle. They are matching marks.
that rev limiter sound is actualy a thing called tors very common issue on all the yammaha late 90s sleds
Thanks for another enjoyable video. Plenty of snow to rip around on. Get out and ride!
yeah i got stuck today I'm in Maine we got he same snowstorm my snowmobile is a 2009 yamaha 1000 nytro and its a 600 pound four stroke but thankfully 2 more snowmobilers came by and helped me get out
After my sled abandoned me in my field and broke on me, it's nice to watch Jeremy to cool down
Jeez very generous to give that away, I live in Vermont. I can use that sled where I'm at.
So Jeremy you said that's the most snow you seen out of one storm I watch that storm go right past Ohio and slam you guys I was hoping for it to hit here but it didn't and when I seen it plowed through Vermont I was like he's going to be riding them damn snowmobiles again! I know one thing for sure before I die I'm going to have to ride one of those oh, they look like a hell of a lot of fun. Many blessings to you and all your families
You help out just from watching your vids and lot of laughter too
Love that skidoo mxz in the background
Definitely change the thermostat. I was having lots of cooling issues on my old exciter and it was the thermostat being broken
Great video, so in the end what was wrong with the vmax?? Was is just that clamp on the hose to the thermostat?
Thats the TORS, Throttle Over-Ride Sensor that cuts the engine if the throttle gets stuck wide-open. You can easily adjust it or just bypass it at the carbs. Easy fix, lots of ppl have had issues with them.
I've had 3 different yamaha vmax 500s. The last one being a 1999. Had same coolant issue, but was out on trail and heated my engine white hot. Traded it in after that.
Wish you could have shown a longer video of you doing the coolant, I'm having a similar issue but don't have bleeder screws on the back of my sled and when I bled it, it never worked. Don't know of it could be a coolant pump issue or something else
Don't know if those years are supposed to do the same thing but the tors light should blink 3 times when you first start it
I would totally love that yahama max always wanted one
Your videos lately are pretty decent
Great video been wanting to get one I’ve these awesome triples I’ll take it off your hands if your giving it away hahaha keep up the good work
On the Cherokee windshield, the chrome goes in the rubber before you put the windshield in the windshield needs to come out. You put the chrome in the groove, then put the windshield in.
What ever happened to Mike’s Indy 500 wedge? Loved that sled.
Your videos what you guys do on your sleds I don't have a sled but I used to I like to get another slide but I don't have bunchone I had one
That throttle skipping is the tors system on the carbs. Disconnect it and plug the wires into each other.
Love your vids
0:58 is called the TORS... The Throttle Over Ride System... Just unplug it... It thinks that your sled is having an issue so it over rides the throttle... My Vmax would always do this whenever I was going quarter throttle...
Still waiting for the 1997 Ski Doo MXZ 583 fix......
I have a yamma ovation more fun on that then any my Polaris ardrcrap 800s
New day new holes! MY MAN!
That issue is the switch on the carbs , easy way around it to.take the two wires and put them together
Darn these videos are always too short.
What a cool sled! 😁
Those old yam's are great.
Come on up to canada bro weed love to have ya!
Great video 😎👍
Bro I love your videos
I would love to have that vmax
Old loctite: grandma made chilli with that 😂😂😂😂
I'm guessing head gasket now...
What do you think?
So got a quick question would you like a 98 arctic cat pantera triple 2up for free?
Yea probably
Yea that’s what I was kinda thinking.
Yea thats what i think too
It’s a Yamaha 😛
Only CZcamsr that appreciates old classics it would be awesome if u gave away that sled so I could finally ride with my dad up In Maine and maybe even with you too!
Older is better! Just bought a '95 Cat...work in progress! Got it running, put 3 mi. on it...and now the snow is rapidly melting! ....lots of summer fix up work to do!
Did that fix it ?
Looks like the water pump is done not moving water in overflow and fluid should still in the tank
im already subscribed! i cant subscribe any further!!
took me almost a week to bleed mine when I pulled the motor!
Love ur videos been watch since the beginning I caught the sickness, the snowmobile sickness I live on the Maryland, Pennsylvania line hour south of York, our north of Baltimore we never get snow, but I love snow mobiles would love to come up and visit/ride yours truly Chad Parsons PS if you’re going to give away that Yamaha 500 I would love to get entered into that. Let me know how.
Hey Jeremy, I have a old skidoo 94 grand touring and I got stuck pulled it out now my right front ski is pointed in. I don't see any thing broken or bent whats the best way to re align my ski? Screw in or unscrew tie rod? Thanks
Your spindle (vertical) may have spun & skipped a spline where the tie rod clamps onto it.
@B Hoss I did think that was the problem, I took off the piece that clamps on and moved it over to the next tooth now the ski is straight but my handle bars are crooked lol
We got half a foot over by the lake and got to rip my sled around for a while
So what was the end conclusion 🤔? Maybe thermostat stuck closed?
@_tap-profile. hey this is Rick. Just noticed your message.
The classics.
Another great video . Would like to win a sled
I need an old v-max sled. Will be my first sled. Great trails call me in central Saskatchewan
🔥🔥
😊
I'd take that thermostat out , I run all my sleds without one and have no issues
thought you have no power
I think it's time to build a little salt shield for your trailer so these poor sleds stop turning White
It my birthday
I got one it said that one I won stupid electric dirtbike
It fires so easy cause shes a Yomama!
First person haha
Love from cape Breton Nova Scotia
