Sno Pro F1000!!! Just Bought It..Is It Any Good?

[@MrHugawa]

man, those F7's are amazing. Running high speed down a lake or field is exactly what it was built for . That F1000 is the high speed autobahn cruiser. Nice one

[@scoobywrx05dw]

That would be a $4,000 USD sled down here in western Pennsylvania. Take that diamond drive out and take it apart and check the inside and drive bearing out.

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

yeah we will have to giver a once over for sure! cheers Pennsylvania! 🍻

[@scoobywrx05dw]

Cheers Pete. If that diamond drive is like the rest of them there's a bolt in the center of the brake rotor that ya take out then the whole diamond drive housing will slide on out. If we have another winter like last year we may have to come north for some riding.

[@jimholbrook-jg7ns]

Pete does an excellent job and is very funny .

[@justadude40]

Should have to remove washers to tighten the belt.That primary has seen better days should be a runner

[@davea5113]

I was a Yamaha man since 1976 when I bought a new GP440 but I bought a 2008 F10000 LXR in 2012 had 465 miles on it. It likes fuel and ran ok untill I clutched it and fuel controller and a D&D y-pipe than it was a different machine, it was the best riding sled I ever rode.

[@410mercury6]

Great vid! That belt would have lasted a lot longer if he wouldn't have been burning it like a forest fire at the start.

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

haha thank you! yeah I'm not sure what he was doin...guess he thought it was like anti-lag lol 🤣🍻

Check the exhaust valve cables.. 2 different friends have the same sled.. I'll almost guarantee they'll need replace or adjustment.. Fun fast comfortable sled on the trail tho..

[@jakojames5754]

Same problem on that sled you have I see.. Not cycling right.. Power valve cables..

[@dennish6987]

Run a brand new PB 80 primary also aftermarket y-pipe gains are significant. It be cool for you to modify to get the most top speed as possible . Two-stroke top speed runs are fun to watch.

I worked for a Cat Dealership in 2006-2009 and a unique thing with the 1000 is they were designed to run on 87 fuel. Had a guy buy one and running premium fuel wasn't performing properly called the service rep and was told not to run premium in it. customer tried it with regular and sure enough she ran better.

I've had a lot of diamond drives apart. It's a planetary gear case. Easy to work on. There's a tiny sealed bearing in there that is the weak link.

Well guy number 1 you didn't have the belt set properly, did you check the springs in the power valves? They break than your power valves don't open and choose properly. My 07 F1000 stock as you guys say " roasted " my buddies 2012 xf 1100 turbo. Now I've put speed werx pipe and y-pipe with dynojet programmer with opened air intake on both sides by the windshield. My buddy put a 210hp tune in his 1100 turbo and I still clean em up. So your lucky I wasn't there cause I would of roasted, cleaned up , anilalated your f7 !

[@rednecksdirtyhands]

haha yeah the belt was shit in that video but we didn't care at the time just wanted to rip it! since then we've put a new belt on and got the right shims for the secondary for proper belt deflection and she works mint and pulls hard! sounds like your sled is dialed in and is a bit of a "Nice One" as for annihilating the F7...yeah maybe but I'd giver a go if ya want! loser buys the beer! 🤣🍻 but it's always in good fun! I'd say a good run would be yours against JP's winder...if ya can roast 1100 turbos that easy...same rules though....loser buys the beers 🍻🤣 we might end up even at the end of the day...or just drunk! 🤣

thanks! cheers 🍻

[@robertanthony9674]

That would make me think someone put the wrong primary clutch on it. Different years and models have different offsets even though they look the same, or are the same model clutch.

[@joshgessinger4509]

@@robertanthony9674 no iv been working on sleds since i was 12 years old im now 44. Raced SX and pro XC for 15 years with many wins and championships. A clutching master cat had a lot of trouble with the 1100 turbos in the beginning blowing belts. I can only assume this is probably one of the reasons anyway couldn’t get clutches aligned. U wouldn’t believe what iv seen from dealers most have bo idea what there doing lol!! I also repair sleds bikes atv’s and cars on the side. Iv seen things that make me think how some of these shops say in business its disgusting sometimes. Actually how I learned to become a mechanic is having shops work on my toys they never came back fixed or right. Told myself i can mess crap up for free dont have to pay people to do it lol!! My father had a 2009 1100 turbo with 5000 miles on it didn’t have the secondary problem but mine did. Iv also known many other guys with belts blowing on there 1100’s wish i new what I learned on mine maybe i could of helped them because there dealers didn’t. But what u said is definitely true in many cases just not on mine. Iv had to help a few 1100 owners now since I discovered the offset problem. I guess u never know could of been off other models but so many having the same problem my guess probably not.

I had almost88 the same sled but f8it was a tank and by that I mean heavy decent trail sled though a bit pushy in the corners though didn't keep it long went to a cfr8 after that much faster and better handling

The F1000 needs a Ypipe and pipe with a controller and clutching. Then everyone loses stock for stock. CFR 1000 is faster though by a lot.

No denying the ol F is still one of the most bad ass trail sleds, still to this day. I've heard a bunch of horror stories about the 1000 twin, and i'm a life long cat guy, they like to shake themselves apart, and for the cubes, it don't make much more ponies than a 700 or 800. idk where the styling folks heads were at when they built those year F sleds but they sure weren't on their shoulders, i always thought they looked like the big desert worms from the movie Tremors with Kevin Bacon lol Bring the sleds down to Nodak, we'll be riding for a month yet they way it looks. cheers fellas!

[@joshgessinger4509]

Actually the 1000 is a very reliable engine 165 hp stock. F8 was around 150 hp before the HO 800 came out in 2010. That did have dyno numbers that was around same as 1000 but torque was down a bit compared to the 1000. U put reeds good single with Y pipe heads or head work ur up around 200 hp. Port work could get 1000 up to around 220hp. The 1000 in the right hands someone that knows what there doing has lot of potential compared to a lot of sleds. The 1000 in the Cross Fire chassis can be a real weapon.
