I show you 6 Tips for really New Ski Doo owners

[@rogersavoie4570]

Great video Dino!

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Glad you enjoyed it Dino

[@barefootbob1269]

Nicely done sir some valuable information for new and older riders.

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it Dino

[@jamesvitale7132]

Great intro video for that newer rider(s). About the tools that snap on to the belt cover. I'd strongly advise that they be placed in a mini tool pouch & placed either in a Glovebox, Handlebar bag, Tunnel Bag, etc... They have been known for falling off or not placed securely & get caught up in the Clutches.

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Thanks for the tips!, I can see how that could be an issue for sure and could lead to a bad day if the run through the clutches. Dino

[@thomaskunz3532]

Thanks for a well done review on the Skidoo. I found it very interesting and information also. Due to some personal heath issues I took a 4 year brake from sledding. Returning to the sport this year, your review helped me get reacquainted with my 2017 Skidoo 900 Ace Blizzard.

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Thank you for the comment and I am happy you are returning to the sport. I am also glad that my video was helpful, as a past sledder I am sure it was more of a refresher than a revolution but it still amazes me how fast the sled are changing each model year. Have fun this season and enjoy putting miles on the track. Dino

[@jamesmc4101]

Thanks for the info, and you have a great presentation

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you found it helpful. Dino

[@carguybd]

Excellent review. Super helpful, particularly in light of the different technology of these newer rigs vs those old dawgs we rode (and likely will ride on occasion).

[@DinosTinkerShed]

So true. I still like the old stuff. It's more fun to work on in my opinion. Thanks for the comment Dino

[@wayneh8767]

Just saw your channel and the video was really good to see, those are sweet sleds for sure.

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Glad you liked the video and the sleds thank you Dino

[@thomaskennen3470]

My 04 Polaris switchback had that same design clutch tool to change the belt.

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Good to know. I had a 2001 edge and it did not yet have it. I wonder when they introduced it? Thank you for the information Dino

[@MalJ-eb7nv]

All very useful points Dino!

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Thank you Mal. Dino

[@joelgregory7321]

Apologies - I guess I should have looked at some of your other videos before I made the suggestion. I check out the one you’ve mentioned Thanks

[@DinosTinkerShed]

@@joelgregory7321 no apologies required. Hope the video helps out 🙂

[@scottsymes2298]

Love your channel .Keep those videos coming .thanks

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video Dino

[@austinsmith5997]

Nice job on the video. Very informative and interesting

[@gdbbarton]

Awesome,,, maybe we can do the Gas cap next....

[@jimmydollar]

Would love to find an 18' in the lava red with an ACE...

[@DinosTinkerShed]

It's a nice sled. You don't see as many in the red as you do black. Thanks for the comment Dino

[@JeffyG]

Great video and exactly the sled I’d like to get next. Still riding an ‘09 MXZ eTec 600, which gets pretty good fuel economy, but I’d like to go 4 stroke and the 900 ace is what I’m after.

[@DinosTinkerShed]

I really like mine, it is smooth, quite and with the air ride you can cover hundreds of Km per day in comfort. Not having to buy oil is also a great advantage. Thanks for the comment Dino

[@joelgregory7321]

great content - especially the part about belt removal and deflection ... do you plan to do another video on optimizing belt deflections and the steps to achieve it?

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Thank you for the comment. I do have a video out on setting belt deflection already, it is a basic set up and only covers how to set up the belt as per the manual. More advanced alignment or how to shim for clutch alignment is not covered in it. Dino

[@ryanmorse4507]

In the 2 stroke sleds, the oil tank is where the fuse box is here

[@charliehastings6982]

Awesum job Dino!

[@williambarnes7704]

You did a very good video! Thanks

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Go lad you enjoyed it Dino

[@eberhoozen]

Nice job. What year is your machine.

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Thank you, it's a 2018

[@outside2585]

great info!

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Glad you enjoyed it. Dino

[@michaelmaurer1226]

Sir, I have heard of folks premixing the oil with gas, just to be on the safe side. There is no way of knowing for sure a 07 500 Ski-Doo is getting direct oil.

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Its not a bad Idea if you can not verify you are getting oil to pre mix. Dino

[@michaelgmcauliffe]

There is a fellow who i know could be your twin!! you guys are identical!!

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Lol, you know Brad Pitt? But seriously that's weird although it's said everyone has a double somewhere maybe your buddy is mine.

[@elmerfudd7674]

starts at 3:25 your welcome

[@DinosTinkerShed]

You can also use the time code chapters in the description to jump around 😉 Dino

[@michaelmaurer1226]

I have a 07 Ski Doo. How do I know if it is getting oil to the gas. My lines are dry

[@DinosTinkerShed]

Boy oh boy, you should be able to see the oil in the lines. You could try and make up a gallon of pre mixed fuel and run the sled on that then you could pull off the oil lines to ensure oil is flowing. Dino

[@michaelmaurer1226]

I am going to bleed and fill the oil lines. The sled has not been ran in 3 years. Just going through everything, before a start !!

[@DinosTinkerShed]

@@michaelmaurer1226 always a good practice

[@michaelmaurer1226]

I cannot find any oil lines on my 07 SKI-DOO

[@michaelryan1547]

No commercials

[@michaelmaurer1226]

I cannot find my oil Lines on my 07 Ski Doo

[@DinosTinkerShed]

The main line runs from the oil tank down to the pump and then up to the carbs I believe on yours if it is a 2 stroke. Dino

[@michaelmaurer1226]

Yes, 2 Stroke 550

[@DinosTinkerShed]

@@michaelmaurer1226 hmm that's the fan cooled correct? I have never owned a banner, but my so in law has, I'll ask him. Is is stock Or could a previous owner performed an oil pump delete? Di o

[@michaelmaurer1226]

@@DinosTinkerShed No Fan or radiator. But does have coolant tank.

[@DinosTinkerShed]

@@michaelmaurer1226 and your sure it's a 550? Just checked the service manual and the 550 is a fan cooled unit. Are there heat exchangers above the track mounted to the underside of the tunnel?

[@michaelmaurer1226]

Sorry, its a 500ss

[@bwyyy7306]

Like don’t buy one lol

[@DinosTinkerShed]

LOL that could be tip 7 for sure. Dino
