Buying a viper

[pup55]

I am looking to by a 2000 to 03 viper. Can anyone tell me if this will be a good sled to buy? Right now I have 2 96 vmax 600 xts. The gas mpg is bad and I want to upgrade. Can you tell me if the viper is good on gas and is it dependable? Thanks

Viper should get 12-16 mpg - great sleds for the $. Very dependable.

Thats great. Both my xts are only getting 8 mps. I have been working on them all year to get better mpgs. Time to get a viper. Thanks

Great sled-- good on gas and oil, very dependable, nice smooth snappy motor. They first came out in '02.

I thought you bought this already,lol,anyway yea very good reliable sleds
but like anything look it over real good do a comp. test,test ride it if you can etc, if ya pull the trigger go through the carbs check jetting,clean carbs you know all that stuff,good luck..

Vipers started in 2002 pup,try to find a '03 and up, the '02's had some
TSB on them,not a bad thing if they been updated,just letting you know

try a search...

I am going to look at an 03 tomorrow. I am pretty sure i am going to buy it unless when i check it out i find something wrong with it. The problem is we dont have much snow left where I live so I wont have a chance to test it out.Its an 03 ER with 4000 miles on it with rear heat exchange, 1-1/4 rip saw track, v force reeds, trail clutch kit with reverse.
