Picked it up a couple of days ago. 2000 Skidoo MXZ500 with 2900 miles!

Put a MBRP race can on it the first day it came home with me.

I just ordered a 2" riser block with a 1.5" pivot riser adapter and some Acerbis hand gaurds.
I'm excited to start modding something new considering I ran out of things to do to the contour.

My old lame toy, lol.

You guys have more snow than I do... I fired up my XCR yesterday though for the first time of the season. Only took like 20 pulls :laugh: better than last year.

thats kinda like asking if our cars do 160mph

Well they go up to 143, which is kind of close to the 160 on the speedo. So I would assume that it could go about 100 mph? Also there are plenty of cars that can do the speed read at their speedometers, like the Toyota Corolla (it can go about 110, 120 downhill no problem, not that I have ever done it).

Awsome man, I miss the snow tons. I used to ride polaris and artic cat snowmobiles every winter in alaska, but then again we had endless trails to ride in the state parks.
 
wats the mxz in the back? i used to ride alot when i was in high school. now i only ride when i go home for xmas. ridin a sled is much different than a car. nothing really compares to doing 130 on a snowmobile.
 
I wish my XCR was a two cylinder vs triple. Though I do like the sound of the triple :drool:

I still have yet to get my sled running perfect since I rebuilt it. I think I have carb issues.
 
ive got a formula ss 670 and a xlt 580. ones a triple and ones a twin. the twin has so much more pick up power but the xlt is fast in the long run. my brother used to have one same year and everything just his was piped clutches studded and some other work done to it. not severe motor work but easy things and it would make the needle spin around in circles.
 
that's hilarious that you bought that. i have just bought the same sled from my neighbor.

as i always brag about, i used to race sleds so mine goes pretty good.

its a 2000 500 (same decals and everything) with every stupid red add on i could get (headlight cover, skid plate, running board grips,snowflap)

its got 8000 miles on it LOL but i rebuilt it last year and put two new cylinders on it so the only thing i have to worry about is the main crank bearings (clutch side!)

the 2" riser sucks btw. mine has a powermadd 2" riser. if you can, get a bigger one and buy some REV 440 handlebars. i could probably locate you some for about the cost of shipping ;)
