  • I know what you're thinking and this is no Arctic Cat M8. It Looks like it, but this snowmobile is one beefed up mountain mod M7. What to build with sled? Soon we'll get into what this mountain sled will become! Or did I get ripped off?

    DUDE im am so pumped for this! abt 2 years ago i picked up a 05 M6 for 1000 bucks too and the only thing it did was run i mean it should have been a parts sled but i mean like even the hood was rattle caned it was green black white and orange😆 but put some money into her and got her going still having issues tho i think its the fuel pump but i picked up a 16 M8 HCR for my main sled now so my plan is to build the M6 into a skipper! everything will be on my channel once my computer stops throwing fits

    Take head off and measure the bore. Lots of M7/M8 bigbore kits from RK Tek are out there. I have installed a few and they ripped. Work great with a turbo too. Those twin pipes were finicky to tune, ripped when they worked but weather conditions/altitude seemed to affect them. Installed and tuned a few sets of those too but most of the guys went back to singles. Worked on the big bore better.

      Of the 1000s the cats were definitely the best. For the most part they heald up, but they liked to eat motor mounts. And that was probably the 4 tower clutch too.
