really feels good to ride again..hit some drifted areas,nearly rolled the sled in my drainage along the field.lol..Put on 7 km's and sled feels good.The steering is actually pretty good with the 144 inch track.Have a video that is uploading on youtube.Will post when done.Just took my hand held camera,so a little unsteady taping,but at least you get to see me ride..haha!!



looks good with a little snow on her


 

Very nice
But I hate you now...sorry...lol
Ok maybe not hate but very jealous as it will be another two months before we have enought snow for that
 
Why don't you film the ride with your spy glasses?
I take that you do not have the reed stopper mod and Hauck headgaskets on tha sled?

Never been a fan of the looks of the trailing arm Yamaha's, especially blue ones. Don't know why and have no reason I can justify.

But,,,,,, That sled's profile is kick ***!!! If you get the chance to report on an overall trail type ride/handling I would love to read it.

I may now look for one myself.

Thanks fer the pics,

this 600 has been the best sled I ever owned for its versatility and just all around tough sled.Just can't seem to ever really break anything on her and it has never left me stranded either.Can't wait to see how she handles this winter with the long track.I think I am gonna have a lot of fun rides with her.Just feed her fuel and oil,replenish the bearings and it just keeps on ticking.Years back I used to do some major jumping with this sled and never broke or bent anything.I remember one jump being air borne over 30 feet and drop down about 20 feet.It happened at about midnight and when I was in the air I said oh no!!.She dropped down and my helmet hit the handle bar and I kept going.The guy behind me didn't do as good,he went off the sled when his touched down..memories are great

well got the 600 out again today.We still need much mor snow,but hit the ditch's.Got about 50 km's today.Hit the country road where ditch is filled in 5 to 6 feet deep and a mile long.Just gave her going down that stretch,sled pulled great.I could use better ski's to grab snow better side hilling,but no funds for that now.Overall sled steers not to bad for a 144 track.Pinned it and getting 8200 out of the hole and wot is bang on 8500..so can't be any happier with that. Supposed to get a good amount of snow next week..up to 8 inche's,but we shall see.River is freezing up as well.By xmas should be wide open riding...
