Yamaha Phazer 500 sled test ride

[@chrissmits3215]

Looking 4 something reliable to pull my ice shanty is this it?

[@pauldrake2146]

I have 5 of those love them,if you're only looking for the engine I could always use the rest of it for a parts sled! 😃

[@MrBriansAmazingWorld]

I'm going to have to spend some more time on it and see if it grows on me. What do you like about it? I will be selling what's left of the sled when I'm done. It does have a ton of new parts on it including the studded track.

[@666dynomax]

why do these things labour so hard to start

[@WilliamTheUnkownShoutout]

This is so cool and awesome😀.

[@strangersgt5632]

Lol that thing looks like it went head on into a wall at 40 mph!

[@king-pin007]

I have one and you’re all correct.. cold starting.. horrible..steering not good .. trail running is OK but it’s a 500 cc 4 stroke.. seems reliable so far.. bought in 2021 with only 1400 km’s ..now at 2800

[@sebastiencomeau3048]

A sled that sounds like a four wheeler, tips over easily, and won't start in cold weather. No thank you!

[@soren_907]

Not true it starts fine

[@larrywarner9314]

Those sleds are for groomed trails not backwoods

This is a terrible sled - I have never rolled a sled so often, not to mention the problems getting them to start in cold weather - I'm regretting buying it. I had to do full rebuilds on both of mine for mice in the pipes. Cut one pipe open and found 5 dead bodies - all blocking it. No pull cord for backup. They suck.

[@MrBriansAmazingWorld]

I completely agree. And I have problems again with mice in the exhaust.

[@666dynomax]

@@MrBriansAmazingWorld gotta plug the exhaust over the summer

[@666dynomax]

You don't have something setup right on that sled. My 14 year old can put many other experienced riders to shame on his

[@subrosaplaysgames6759]

you have to ride the sled,and lean . It has a 14 inch wide so you cant be lazy and sit down while riding. It is a stand up sled

[@eco_guardian]

@@subrosaplaysgames6759 Very true. If you can get it to start when its cold, and if you can get it into reverse - then you just have to remember to lean...I mean LEAN, so you don't roll it.
