Well it's not a Yamaha unfortunately but I couldn't find one for the price I wanted to pay. I got a little 1997 Ski-doo Formula S 380 for my wife. She hasn't really ridden before so I wanted something small and reliable. It has 5400 miles on it and the engine has been rebuilt 300 miles ago. Picked it up for $1500.00, needs some minor work but for as much as she'll use it, it'll be good. Anyone else have experience with these?
I really wished to find a older used Phazer or Enticer but there were none to be had locally.

good little sleds. guys usually run them around here untill the skid is ready to fall out from wear. check all the bushings and the main bearings in the skid if you had not already planned on it. a good thing to do as well would be to tear down the primary clutch. my cousin has one and this is what parked this sled as it jammed right up on her from previous owners lack of maintenence.

Thanks for the reply Maim! I see the front arm in the suspension is cracked (would be our W arms). Probably jumped it and got a small crack. I need to replace the sliders so I'll give it a good going over when I have the suspension out. I'll check the clutch too, I don't have a puller but I think I can get the cover off without removing the whole thing. I think It'll be good enough for a second sled that may get used only a few times a year
I would have loved to find an Enticer but nobody wants to get rid of them or any smaller Yamaha's for that matter.
