Sparking my way through town? What? I drove probably less than 1km on the streets. Weird comment

🤫 shhh hahah

Yeah it was insanely nice. Ah well I think I'll get another one that's not as nice and then I can have some fun on it

I'm torn between the two, was hoping the comments would be 1 sided but it looks like it's almost split lol

Haha we think alike. Way back in the day I had a 96 if i remember right ultra with psi lake blaster triples on it and an ultra spx CDI. I think a bone stock ultra with triples on it made close to 150hp. Best way to make big power in a wedge chassis. Better than the storms were

It would be a rocket, you can take 100+ lbs off a wedge sled pretty easy. gauge cluster, seat, lightweight hood rear suspension swap, plastic ski's, then you have a real weapon and its a sleeper. Only the 96 Ultra and 96 XCR 600 SP had the oil lubed water pump crankcase oil reservoir, they can/did have crankshaft seal issues on that section of the crankshaft, big bucks to repair, look for a 1997 Ultra sp , they were purple. Those were updated. The XCR 800 top end will literally bolt onto the Ultra bottom end. You can port the XCR 800 cylinders and bore the rack carbs and get over 170hp and you have power valves. Keep it stock and it will last as long as a Yamaha triple.

Very very temperamental engines for sure which is the main reason why I'd like to do the swap

@ I almost bought one in 1990. But my dad talked me out of it. But they are bad Azz looking.

Yup, I've been monetized but unless your bringing in massive views than it's very very minimal

A old srx 440 would be great they were cool old sleds

The looks definitely save it haha, yeah suspension isn't the greatest, I did a little to the clutching because it was lacking.

@minnowlaketuning you name it I tried it. Rode it till it dropped a piston shirt at 17000km.fixed it and sold it

100% a 1990

@@minnowlaketuning In 1990 Yamaha's muscle sled was the Exciter. 1987 was the last year of the vmax 540.

@@tedc4990 made until 87 in the states and up until 1991 in Canada

Oh hell ya

I'd also like to see this. The pipe wouldn't need to be modified.

At this point I think I have to do both the vmax and the exciter haha

Unfortunately that's the reality. Yeah I think that 700 in there would be pretty cool

Agreed! That would be a blast

​@@minnowlaketuningif you have any questions about the swap, hit me up. I've built three of them!

100% and it would work and around good with the factory 540 twin pipes. I'm torn between that and the triple, the triple would be cooler but the twin is probably the better option for fitment etc

Oh don't worry I've got some more coming on my 04 f7. Just waiting for some dam snow lol

@ i cant wait! I have a 04 f5 with a (chaincase) f7 carb in it. 2 degree key All 440 suspension fabbed onto the tunnel in the rear. Bunch of little things Has 2” picks! Which is unheard of Thing is beyond rowdy.

@EVO_Bzil oh hell ya, I'm surprised you got the 2" studs to clear the exchanger lol

That's what I'm leaning to as well

I bet you guys had a good time though haha

Now that's cool. I saw a guy stuff a srx 700 in an exciter 570. Definitely unique

Yup those invader 440 LTDs were cool, interceptor 550 too, both pretty hard to come by now lol. Wanted a vmax 4 when I was younger they were just kind of under performers, mega heavy and the early 750s made weak power. 130 or 135 from what I remember. Hard to bite on it when a tcat 900 from the same era was over 160hp lol. But very unique and they sound cool with quad pipes

1 mistake and that's all she wrote, wish I had the room to store it, it would be on a shelf lol

Me too 😀

Yep the guy was extremely happy to get it and has quite the collection, I know she's in good hands at least

Me as well. Love those leafers

Yeah I'm a bit bummed out, but having driven both, I honestly believe it would not of been close

Reworked the stock harness-lt1.com shows how step by step-eBay headers-flipped the cross member and had to modify it a bit

Oh hell ya

Shes sold sold sold

I'm looking for another phazer shell like that,if you got any more I'd be interested!

@trystinshoemaker4447 ah sorry man I parted it out a while back and it's gone. If I come across anymore I can message you on here

@ I'd definitely appreciate it!

Yep we talked about it when he bought it, so far it's still working good. I remember people used to delete them on the blasters pretty often

I used to have a zr 900, loved it. Before I bought this f7 it was between this and an 03 zr 900. I just like the nightfire too mu so I had to go with that. One day I'd like to build a nice 03 900

I remember initially thinking it helped. Not a massive difference but for sure helped a little bit. I'm so used to it now I don't remeber how it was before I installed it lol

Sorry it sold immediately!

Low miles always stored inside lady driven selling for a friend 😂

@jefftizz you know it! She's cleann

12-164-20 appears to be the right one on the royal distributing website where I bought this one. I don't have the exact part # for this one because I bought it about 10 years ago but I think the # I posted is the same one

Will do, thanks for watching

Yeah the winters the last 5 years or so haven't been great. Probably 3 month riding season like you said. I contemplated building a mountain sled and going out to BC a couple times a season as I have a couple buddies that go

Sure is, thanks man appreciate it 🤘

@minnowlaketuning yessir

Still have my NightFire F7 EFI. A spring special order from my local Cat dealer back in 2003. No reverse, no elec start, as light as I could order it. Un-altered, still has original carbides. Only 840 miles on the OD, and like brand new - stored in my attached garage. I miss riding, just no snow for years around these parts. Perhaps time to sell ? But I will keep the cast model 😉.

@garysmith8455 if it was me I'd keep it, because I know if I sold it, I'd never find another one. Honestly I'd love to have a night fire.

Congrats on finding your Nightfire Eric and big thanks for making the videos. I'm smiling because like Gary above ( and I agree, don't sell it :) I have a stock 04 Nightfire EFI with maybe 1000 original miles on it as well. Super mint shape. It's stored and I'm way down south for the last 3 years so hopefully one day I'll get back to it ... I'll definitely be watching for your updated videos and be learning through you. All the best with the sled and I hope you enjoy the heck out of it this winter !!!

Me too haha

She was a 2013

Manitoulin

Haven't seen one hit 80 yet but maybe. We ran another one in another video and I think it was high 60s if I remember

I've always wanted an exciter 440, cool sleds

Not sure if it's geared alot lower when it's on high gear which it was for this video but it's possible. It did better than the big Red 250 which makes me think it's probably not geared alot lower than the Yamaha when it high gear

Around here almost everyone says deck cals but I've heard people say dee cals. I think dee cals is the proper way but everyone I know says deck kals lol

@@minnowlaketuningeither way you say it, that’s a sweet sled. Tuned in to see where you go with it.

@stephendobson8905 thanks man, hoping to have a new video on it coming up fairly soon

I'd sell it once I take the sled with the new track for a ride to confirm everything is ok

@ sweet!
