OLD Mountain MOD M8000 Gets READY TO SHRED!

[@syxxes]

Does Whitey deserve an engine rebuild...? Hmmmmm...! 🤔🤔

[@780tunertube7]

💯

[@DLaing898]

I've got whiteys brother Orangey lol

[@cannedham3774]

has it ever been rebuilt? at least new rings or top end?

[@phillipesteves1032]

900 big bore twin pipes

[@fnatomagan]

It's fun doing rebuilds. Just did one on my 2018 Mountain Cat. Went with Forged Wiseco Pistons, cleaned valves, updated thermostat and put a ADAPT clutch on it. It would make for a good Video. Arctic Cat 925 😉

[@charlesmyers2762]

Whitey needs a Yetti wrap!!!!! Show Whitey some love!!!

[@bkdwar5138]

Yes, old whitey. Looking good bud. Can't wait to see how she performs.

[@tysonmacmillan5527]

Really like this kind of build video

[@Ardralta]

When you get to the top. Put your spare belts over your skis enjoy the ride down. Old school as it gets

[@joshloder7948]

been running that powerbloc 80 since 2015 myself, but with that primary, dalton helix and spring in secondary and c3 beltdrive. my 14 m8 was a complete animal... oh and i cant forget about the 3" lug powderclaw.. 9256km on the clock 131psi on each side, those old Suzuki engine are bulletproof.. hope my 20 Alpha can out last LOL

[@BairdBoysAdventures]

Just bought a white 2013 m800 last week I am upgrading from a 2001 mountain cat 800, Got it torn down now to go through a list of fixes and a majority of what needs done you have allready done to whitey, thankfull for your vids and keep them comeing, crappy the Alpha is out but pumped to see the 2014 hit snow again!

[@vicke12343]

Check that you have the manual chain tensioner or at least the upgraded model. In 2014 there was a Service Bulletin that had them change all tensioners. The old model uses cotter pins I believe, newer upgraded model had screws. If the tensioner fails it often blows the whole chain case up. The tensioner failed on my 2013 M800 a few years ago. To see if you have the newer model you have to take the cover off and have a look inside.

[@Ardralta]

Love the old Cat stuff cause I still ride1! Oh well rode Revy in the eighties. If you get that Polcat turbo back straight. Let’s see up up Turbo hill on boulder mountain where buddy M . Hit tree.!

[@alaska4229]

Those are the same reeds I have on my mighty whitey and I love them!

[@tboystoys5682]

Hey man it never really let ya Down. That’s a good machine

[@stoneygmc77]

I enjoyed the video, I may have to go back and watch the reed video. I got dealer to install when I had my 07 F7SP

[@literallyshaking8019]

I think Ol’ Reliable deserves a new wrap.

[@atd907]

I was running the Powerbloc on my 15’ M8 two seasons ago. Best upgrade you can do in these sleds

[@davespargo5944]

You're forgiven on this being a quickie. Also, I hadn't thought about it, but you are right, there is a handful of Matt's doing sled videos.

[@AllajchaSibir]

Ah, "old" sleds. Just need a little love and they"ll run just as well as the new stuff, especially if it has the old suzuki mill in it. I just rebuild my '15 XF8000 into a wannabe mountain machine with a 153, 2.6" track, TKI belt drive, some new wheels and Pin'd board inserts. Oh and I did the reeds too. Runs like a top and is a blast to tear through the backcountry with. Would I like a newer machine? Sure. Do I need it? Not really, the one I have will do just fine.

[@markdephilippo1404]

You made that looked easy great video

[@benjaminfranklinhawkeyepie9721]

Check spark on whitey had the same problem spark plug boots got loose replaced and no more top end bog

[@Adaml_306]

This was great man!! I have a 2013 xf100 and it still rips!!!

[@JustRevIt]

whomp it. and watched your dads repair video of the Alpine. hes funny.

[@adamwissenz9]

custom cut running boards maybe? or go inserts. helps so much having big voids in deep snow and grip = a lot less stucks

[@joevonhagen4717]

I have those reeds on my m8. They’ve been on it ever since I’ve had the sled so i don’t really know what stock is like but they’ve held up good and the throttle response is quite snappy.

[@arptv806]

witch one of your vids talks about the air sensor relocate kit?

[@linusvogel2441]

Great video as always. Could you maybe do a video pf the suspension setup on the old whitey? Keep up the great clntent

[@justinh.1579]

I have a 14 m8000 as well. I just installed the pro-tectair kit and silicone sealed the air box. My concern is still that connection point, which I did line with grease to repel water. Have you had any issues with snow ingestion with your 14? It seems the 19 and up design is more prone to it, but it still concerns me. Appreciate any advice.

[@user-ee4jy5pp7m]

Get some bow string/shoe lace wax for your pull cord!

[@Dany_4129]

I wanna do reeds on my 17 but it has electric start and I’ve done one with electric start on it before not fun. Couple bolts that are a pain!!!

[@jeffpierce3436]

Hey, I still give today’s vid Syxxes! 👍 😂

[@swedish_sadhguru3854]

Old..hmmm, 2014 still feels like brand new to me. Must be getting old ha!

[@thesupernad]

High end issues have always been power valves for me. 3D printed a measuring tool for the cables if you want the design file I can email it.

[@Tuchodi8004]

What with the clutch and where do I get one ? My 14 m8000 is getting due for clutching.

[@mats-patrickbrekke465]

Thanks for sharing, you have been a great source for me when fixing my 12 xf! How do you connect the headlight on your sled, and will it be the same procedure if i add one light on mine? Would be nice to have better lights when driving in the dark! Keep up the good work Syxxes team💪🏁

[@bennyb6071]

hey matt, maybe try a power valve cleaning

[@samueldysart]

You could probably find an aftermarket Y-pipe and pipe at a good price for it.

[@literallyshaking8019]

It’s crazy how many guys out there have an unused, “forgotten” sled in their garage that I (and many I’m sure) would bend over backwards to own as my “main”, one-and-only sled. “Well, all my brand new $30k sleds are broken, so I guess I’ll have to use this dusty old relic sitting in the corner…”

[@hermelinen1988]

Have you changed the mounting position for the rear suspension on this? If so, how you like it?

[@tegowner]

He did and the front too but I can't answer to your question

[@MooseKnuckleMills]

What is your full time job

[@brucewunderlich405]

Good thing you didn’t sell it 😊

[@jayhaynes4668]

When’s the next trip?

[@colefantham6743]

Turbo whitey then have 2 turbos

[@lukem5141]

Like i said last year two things that’ll be a guarantee every year with syxxes: whitey making it up the hill and Shaun being on a blue sled

[@matthewfenn3485]

Whitey is the. Better sled any way

[@Isaac804ab1]

Lets gooo

[@sshoel]

anyone know the lyrics to the music..

[@johngilboyjr3305]

I thought the twin spar sucked

[@kn8258]

Wrap it!!
