- Ricko takes us through the skid of his Mountain Cat and talks about the suspension, maintenance, and setup. We take a look at the rear shocks and what kind of air pressure to run on the shocks.
If you're new to our channel, we post videos about snowmobile tuning. Lots of tips and tricks for maintaining and modifying your sled and sled trailer. Mostly just DIY sled stuff for people who like to get their hands dirty or tinker in their garage.

Straight to the point without the fluff. Love your channel.
I just want to say you are one of my favorite sled professors put there.love the content. Trying my hand at modding and restoring 90 and newer sleds..ty again for your knowledge my Canadian sledding brother! Clinton, mod squad engineering michigan
That’s why we do it Clinton! Glad that you’re grabbing a little knowledge and we certainly appreciate the support…and awesome comments like that ⬆️ Good luck with the mods our Southern brother. 🤟
Bought a 02 ZR 800 brand new from Don’s Speed parts back in the day. Swapped out the stock 121 track and put a 2” on (all that was available at the time). You wanna talk about wheelies in the mountains!!!! Ha that was the sled for it! Had to ride the hell out of it, it was a ton of fun 20 years ago! Now the point and shoot is more my liking.
Sounds good man i subscribed
Short track is my pref i have a 2009 MXZ 600 ETEC 120" 286pitch I Have ridden long track and short track and my short track is by FAR more fun in the deep snow great sled!!
Whippy flappy’s are the bomb dawg! Lol. Funny stuff. Keep up the good work!
LOLOLOLOL. I'm just about to whippy flap some chicken on the bbq.
This video helped me a lot thank you
I like really wheely

Very cool, thanks again Digit9, never understood how they do the wheelie, another thanks from Ontario, Ottawa valley as well👍
Right on Benny. Digit9 loves Ontario.
Those wheelies are done with power and studded tracks,those straps if loosened, allow suspension travel to go unchecked,which will interfere with the smooth operation of the sliderail/ skid overall and possibly damage your track, if you want to wheelie get a short track 600-800cc two stroke stud the track with trail studs or something more aggressive and practice with short bursts of throttle shifting ur weight toward the rear and keep your balance so as not to flip back on ur face,have fun and practice makes perfect bro.😉
Me like wheelie thingy, so I'll subscribe lol. Good vids bud!
Nice video - I hate kids trying to wheelie and jump - scares the fish. Cheers and stay safe - I got 2 inches of frosting here in Ontario (Ottawa Valley)
LOLOL....scares the fish.
I own a 2008 artic cat z1 jaguar how do I make it wheelie it has power but doesn’t lift
Thanks Again for your videos! You explain everything in great detail. Would you have a video in regards to Y-pipe leakage from the engine side. I can’t seem to get good seal on it. Any tricks or special tool a guy needs to get a torque on the bottom bolts ?
Permatex ULTRA COPPER.
clean surfaces with brake clean.
Use fresh gaskets and if there's a big 🍩 donut on the y pipe to muffler flange change it if there's any wear or scratches in it.
Use the ultra copper if the options run out after fresh gaskets. Or replace the y pipe. I've seen them get bent and they never seal tight after.
Thanks for the info Ernie, I’ll give that a go.
Check the mating surfaces of the head and the Y pipe with a straight edge. If the y pipe is not flat, you can fix it by filing off the high spots or have a machine shop run it thru a milling machine. Cheaper than a new y pipe. Shouldn’t need sealants with flat surfaces and good gaskets. Cheers!
And remember , you can NEVER use too much Loctite !!
Very nice! Looks like the swing arm could use a fresh coat of powder. I can do that for you. Check out some of my powder coating jobs on my sled restores and see what you think!

Damn, I did it backwards. I wonder why my sled felt so stable and climbed so well.
Any tips on a 2012 m1100 clutch set up with a bunch of goodies added to it blow belts constantly
Had a friend with same problem , turns out the factory put on the wrong secondary and spring set up ! Also check motor mounts !
Great vid!!! what is your preference when it comes to grease?
Winter grease from Cdn Tire !! The clear stuff , makes less of a mess !!
Castrol piroplex blue. AGL1 or AGL2
Your choice. 100% waterproof
Do NOT GET IT ON BARE SKIN...
its a real mess to get off because water makes it stick more.
Wd40 to clean hands..
I have u joints on my mud truck that are 15 years old. This grease it that good. I use it on my atvs with real good results
Funny how my 2009 rmk 700 only has one adjustment on the limiter strap...
I did it on my ski doo mxz renegade 600 2008. Is it any Risks with this?
Not really
Think a king cat m9000 would use those same PSI numbers?
Doesnt hurt to try !!
Haha whippy Flys and butterflies thingies. True tech talk for damn kids these days are out of control! Haha I had a great laugh on that one. No worrys I like my skis down too! There's no need to explain yourself. Power and control all the way!
Have you heard good things about teamfast air shocks?
Dont know anyone who has em ? So cant say !!
Although , anything from Fast should be good !!
What do I do if my limiter strap dosent have any adjustment holes
Make some !
Nice video. How do you like fox shocks in general?
Coilovers are Awesome !
Love my fox suspension
Did those scratchers help on hard pack ?
Yes , but dont work good on ice or gravel !
@@DIGIT9 I’m looking at the 2018 early release and hopefully that will keep it cool, just won’t ride when it’s icy.
merci pour votre video. jai un m8000 mountain cat 162 avec fox float evol, et je ne réussis pas a trouver un setup pour faire lever le devant droit loll jai enlever les strap de retenue avant et jai essayer tout les 3 trou d'ajustement du bugy de la suspension arriere sur le frame ,avec 70lbs en compression sur le shock arriere et lui avant jai pas fait d'essai de pression. avez vous un setup a me sugerer ? je trouve que le devant vient jamais a bout de lever a peine.... remarquer que je vient de faire mes tests avec a peine 10 cm de neige ca change peut être la chose loll je suis meme pret a payer pour avoir un setup qui marche pour le hors piste ;)
Not sure if the translate app is correct but sounds like you want less ski pressure ?
@@DIGIT9 ok loll yes exactly i tried a lot of testing so that the front no longer touches the ground and even remove the straps in front of the suspension and i didn't have much difference. I do not manage to find a setup to raise the front asser to go off piste. do you have anything to suggest for a m8000 2017 162 "mountain cat?
Your on your own with that one !! Maybe buy a short track ??
Loostening those straps puts excess stress on your rails and yolks.
My 137 with a 2 inch wheelies over backwards
Tighten limiter strap couple holes , wont do it as bad !
You got 4k miles on float rails? That's amazing, mine are bent to shit.
Would it be possible to wheelie with a yamaha nytro?
Thats what they were good for ! How long of track ?
@@DIGIT9 i think its 144 inches for the mtx
@@DIGIT9 only thing is that they arent that strong
What do you suggest for a 2017 Arctic cat M8. 153 track
In what regards ?
For cat walks
Did you find it yet?
Take limiter strap off , tighten front spring/shock , soften back shock !
@@DIGIT9 taking the limiter step off is that going to damage anything
I learned🤨😎
Butterfly thingy 😂
"chief wheelie hater"😂
Damn kids and there wheelies..... lol
Coilover shocks are way better and last a long time...
Hey friend
