worst Doo add ever?

[03viperguy]

what were the guys thinking letting this get through? I saw it in the latest snowtech and it took me a minute staring at it to start to chuckle. then saw it on the Yamaha blog. good stuff boys, keep it coming.....

Not bad...
They should've had him removing some scored pistons from the engine...

 

[A couple of bucks]

I do believe that I'd fire that marketing exec. Might as well of kicked himself in the b@lls.

it's a fake add...it would have BRP somewhere...they all do

i only know this because i wrote a paper (6 damn pages!) about ski-doo's new adds for my comp class 3 weeks ago lol

 

[chris700readhead]

He's getting ready for the yearly rebuild. Lol

 

[03viperguy]

so the add that I saw, in snowtech, is fake? I will have to get a pic of it I guess....

LOL Nice one Viperguy.

It's almost like the parts group of Ski Doo is trying to sell parts at the expense of the product guys. Gotta love it regardless.

LOL! that was in your New York Snowmobiler Magazine this this month i found it hilarious!!!

 

[03viperguy]

thanks, I aim to please

 

[SXvmax700]

looks like hes getting his yearly topend rebuild out of the way on his 800 lol

dragging this up from the dead, but just found out that doo is no longer supporting sleds over 10 years. parts become obsolete and you cant get them. what the hell is that about?? seems like bad business to me, or a way to cut costs I guess

10 years is the industry standard in the automotive world for service and parts. Parts aren't typically purged from stock but aren't produced either.

An aftermarket company will buy the production tooling and start producing parts if there is a business case to do so.

Yeah I know, just that the others seem to still have parts available. Buddy works at a doo dealer and can't get parts for his 99, but can still get parts for his 76 exciter

All the basic stuff that wears out prematurely (y-pipes, piston rings, intake boots, crank bearing grease, etc.) is available from the aftermarket

 

[Constip8r]

yea i agree with that. my brother can't find hardly any parts for his 94 formula z, yet i can get yamaha parts for an 80's SRV all day!

 

[alswagg]

Now i know why Ski doo always has a tether cord.

 

[03viperguy]

Lol!

Recently I looked for parts for a 1985 Mariner 6 hp outboard engine. OEM pistons etc. weren't available. Good thing it's actually a Yamaha painted gray, because Yamaha parts are available, and 2-strokes are keepers these days.
