Yamaha SRX 700 - Spanking Around New Snowmobiles

This thing is a beast! 98 Yamaha srx 700 triple, hauck growler cans. Lined up against a 2019 polaris indy xc 800.

[@RCWalletVacuum]

Those SRX's piped out have one of the best tones on the snow

[@MattMcHugh257]

You ain’t kidding! Love these triple stingers

yamaha makes the best sounding tripple for sure

[@Guitarguy0522]

Yeah they do I have three I got 2 sx max 700 and a srx the srx has the bender true triple through and the max s have mbrp I think it’s how you spell it lmfao 🤣 but they sound so incredible let me little sister take one for a rip and just sat and listened to it coming across the field and was like wow music to my ears I will never get rid of them old Yamaha triples

[@RCWalletVacuum]

@@Guitarguy0522 Back when there were more of these out in circulation and when stopping trailside for a "beverage" you could always identify the unique harmonious tone of these sleds approaching. Pure musical magic, three cylinders at a time.

[@JasonTrapp-t5u]

Best sled ever made

[@MattMcHugh257]

🤘🤘🤘

[@TimSaundersC4]

Awesome video! You captured the perfect blend of stunning scenery, wide-open throttle, tight trails, expansive fields, and, most importantly, epic riding. That Yamaha SRX sounds absolutely nasty, , , pure music to the ears!

[@junktoyota]

Makes me wish I was home riding my tcat. Long live the triples

[@drsmith4806]

I ran a yamaha 600 triple for 2 season's was a great machine quick as hell got 98 out on the lakes but what a fun dependable machine, wish i kept that one.

[@gilbertmarion3867]

Used to have a 2001 srx..no suspension but amazing speed n sound..now I’m in a 17 850 renegade love it as well

[@ixoye56]

The best looking sled ever made imo.

[@prototype158]

Highly recommend you schedule your back surgery now. Wont be long before that old yamaha suspension catches up to you. But boy can they make an amazing engine 😂.

[@adamh3272]

That sound is worth a little surgery!

[@MattMcHugh257]

Haha you ain’t kidding! Im glad I usually ride the Indy. My back can’t take more than a few hours on these old sleds. But man are they fun!

[@hodgebone1]

I have a couple 98 vmax xtc 700s and they actually arent that bad at all but have more travel etc than the srx. damn things handle like gokarts on the trails too. love them

[@MattMcHugh257]

@@hodgebone1nice! I’m sure those things are good runners!

[@Jake_Hynds]

This is why mine has a Polaris updated skid with high speed fox racing shocks

[@davea5113]

😊Pull your limiter straps up a hole or close up the gap a little on your transfer rods, will put a bit more weight on the ski's and you will be able to rail around those corners even faster. Bought my 98 700srx brand new, still am able to put 1000miles on each year between my other sleds, and I am still able to walk up right.

[@MattMcHugh257]

Thanks for the advice! Definitely could use more ski pressure and some fresh carbides. I’ll give that stuff a try!

[@Yammi1990]

Aint nothing better than a TRIPLE passing a new sled with headlight pointed to the moon :) @@MattMcHugh257

[@Abletodoit675]

[@davidbrennan5]

loosen the front shock, tighten the limiter strap down and get some 8 inch carbides on the front stud boy shapers work well on the SRX. I thought you were going to smoke that one tree lol. @@MattMcHugh257

This looks like southern Ontario , farm field to bush , bush to farm field , bang ditches and repeat !

[@MattMcHugh257]

Haha right, this is south east Wisconsin. There are some nice patches of woods with good trails. But the large majority of riding is fields

[@joelgoody3590]

I've had 2 SRXs. First one was a 98, bought with 1700 mi for 1600$. I test rode it, was a pooch. I told guy something not right with it(I suspected prob fouled plug), told guy to try out my 97 700 Vmax that I clutched, jetted, triple pipes. He rode the Vmax, said holy crap, this thing is a rocket! I told him the SRX should be a little quicker. I wasn't exactly sure what deal was with the SRX, dirty PVs, fouled plug, PV cable pull thru, why got it cheap. I put a new set of plugs in it, put 3500 more mi on it before sold it. Second was a 2000, got it for 900$. only bad thing was seat was torn bad, and skid was in need of attention. I found a beautiful used seat 50mi away for 75$, and did a Polaris XTRA 10 skid conversion, got a great used FOX shock skid for 125$. Very easy install and so much nicer of a ride. Both long gone now :( Current sled is 2010 AC Z1 Turbo Sno Pro.

[@MattMcHugh257]

Crazy what a set of plugs can do for a sled!

[@jimvk1]

Thank you. I needed that. can almost smell the yamalube

[@MattMcHugh257]

Haha right! Glad you liked it!

[@JDRTRM]

Hauck Growlers? I had a 01 with bender can , added ripsaw 1.25 track and transfer rods and it went !

[@MattMcHugh257]

Yes sir! I want to hear a bender can in person to see how it is compared you he Hauck. I bet that 1.25 track was sweet!

[@JDRTRM]

@@MattMcHugh257Growlers sound way better , tougher sound . Bender had more of a tinny sound and was trail legal , the rip saw track was the best mod I did , hooked up hard - only lost about 5mph top end , but I spend 90% under 100 then over 100mph even today with the new machines - I rather have it yank hard to 100 anyway .

[@MattMcHugh257]

@@JDRTRM man now you’ve got me wanting to pick up a bender can and swap tracks lol. Good info!

[@NathanMiller-p3o]

The family had an XTC from that time frame I remember when they first came out man what a sweet sled, only issue for the was the track had a small lug and I think it wouldn’t hook up well

[@calvinlangner3996]

Where did you get the fuel cap from it looks very sharp and a nice detail to the srx

[@chargerfish1]

Sweet sled that thing hammers. Looks like some good trail conditions! Where are you at? southern/central Maine sucks this winter big time so far lol. Be careful man.

[@MattMcHugh257]

Thanks man! South east Wisconsin. We had one really good week and it’s basically all gone now, been raining and warm.

[@dan69cam]

​@@MattMcHugh257came over from Minnesota to ride around the south west area of Wisconsin around the same time. Good riding while it lasted, only one so far.

[@mikemike0000]

That thing sounds like a monster! What's it top out at? Safe travels, friend!

[@MattMcHugh257]

It is a beast! Not sure yet, I need to get it out on a lake to see. Had it up to 100 in some fields but it’s got more in it. Thanks you too!

[@davidbrennan5]

The SRX was good for the time but lacked in the suspension department, especially the rear. Those Yamaha engines last a ton of miles, fit and finish was excellent. Nothing beats the sound of a triple triple and they have long legs for lake runs.

[@MattMcHugh257]

Love the sound!

[@lasseanti6084]

Sounds like it has a cable pull through. Judging by the decals on the hood, the hood seems like a 2000. Also, the shift out rpm looks kind of high.

[@meme8315]

Them srx700s are hard to beat. In my opinion the fastest best sled made,they just keep pulling

[@MattMcHugh257]

They are quick, it's surprising.

[@YammiePro]

Awesome video man! Got any GoPro setting tips?

[@MattMcHugh257]

Thanks! Just buy the best one you can afford. That’s the biggest thing. If you go watch my older videos the quality gets better every year as I buy better GoPros. Also, you’ll need a quality edition software and computer to handle the footage appropriately if you’re going to edit the video at all.

[@Guitarguy0522]

I also love how the beginning of this video shows it gapping that new Indy if it had a rip saw track it would have left it standing still I smoke new sleds on mine with ease

[@FirelordTwinkyz]

Never even sat on a snowmobile. that thing is movin wtf how fast do they go?

[@MattMcHugh257]

lol I love this comment 😂. They top out at about 120mph on a lake if you have the room. Typical field cruising speed is 60-80 depending on how quick you want to get somewhere.

[@FirelordTwinkyz]

@@MattMcHugh257 thats wild

[@tylerott9269]

I thought these trails looked familiar. Is this Washington County Wisconsin?

[@MattMcHugh257]

Yes sir! We were out riding last week before the closed. Do your snow dance!

[@EVALM8]

I want a triple one day, but i heard they are higher maintenance engines that require lots more maintenance than twins, and they are not meant to putt around on they are meant to rip but still sound awesome they kind of sound like a race car

[@robertmayer2071]

i still have my 2000 srx 700 but ive had 2 sx 700 red head years ago and il tell ya put a snow stuff can on a sx 700 and it sounds very cool almost indy car like if ya cant get a srx 700 then a sxr 700 is a good option

They were sweet rides when they were new

[@Guitarguy0522]

Great video I have a 2000 srx they ride a little rough but they smoke new sleds no problem the later year srx has 153 hp because of some differences in the porting put a bigger better track on it with a few studs and it’s a rocket ship 🚀

Haha nice! Those little old sleds are a blast!

[@TroyHanson-ch6nm]

Sounds good but handles like a truck lots of under steer. Maybe to much traction vs ski grab lots ski lift makes sled unstable in trails i remember years back i hade a 98 mach z 800 acted the same as yours had near 200 studs and had so much traction handled like azz in any tight stuff but fun af in the open areas 👍 sunk lots of time into mine got it to handle ok but to much power not enough handling. Once i got a rev she was over still ride a orig rev platform still spank any friend on his new stuff the longer you keep a sled the better she gets not cheap to play tho got over 7k just in engine
