not seeing what your'e talking about strangeland,
is it the tube with what looks like dirt on it (cracked?).

I only see the rivets that let go on the side panels.

Its actually almost rubbed straight through. The guy that pointed it out said its a simple fix only have to grind something down a little and everything clears. Im not sure what it is though it was only pointed out on my last ride last year and I havent had it fixed yet. This picture was taken when I loaded it on the truck to go home. Its rubbed almost exactly the same on the otherside.

HA I never even noticed that Think i need a better bump handling sled.

Your track looks just like mine, with the cords all showing on the edges.

I've never noticed it on other machines but mine.

I always thought maybe ice was building up in the tunnel and rubbing on the sides since the track is aligned correctly and has the right amount to tension on it as well.

I'll go look look at that tube on my sled, I don't remember any wear like that.

yeah I see now, didn't see that on mine either I'll double ck.
looks like maybe a bolt thats to long rubbing on it. cut or
grind the end of the bolt off or get a shorter one. and weld the
arm back up and you are good to go.

Looked at mine and it's doing the same thing! Looks like it's the end of the springs (nearest to the rail) that are coming in contact with the skid when it's under a load or compressed? What do all of you think??

Thats it. Should be able to just grind it down a little and everything is honky doory. Are you riding and EB?

Also did my oil change today and while checking everything out noticed my chaincase was empty so I ve made a mental note to check that a little more often. Im pretty sure I ve always checked it but there arent any oil stains anywhere so who knows.

Were you asking me if "I" was riding?? And what is EB??

EB means "Early Build." The starsky and hutch (red with white racing stripes) 660 were an early release in 2004 but they re a model year 2005. Not all red st are early builds though. I was asking if your 660 was an EB st or if it was a regular production run 2005.

Hmm any of that make sense? lol

Sorry....I'm a little slow on the computer jargon. Mines a 04 T660 trail. The black model, not the red one. I'm now curious if the spring is actually the culprit or if it's the aluminum on the rail that the idler wheel mounts into. Either way something is hitting and needs to be taken care of. It's hard to compress the suspension that far without the aid of another guy to help you out. Has anyone solved the problem and if so, what did you do??

I had two cats 03zl 800 and a 04zr 900 and the springs are the culprits.I cut a little off the ends and it fix the problem.

Just got back from up-north and putting the first 300 miles on my sled. The trip was awesome, if your thinking of buying a sled, do it the 660 turbo rocks, smoth, power when you need it. I can't say enough. when we were looking for a new sled I wanted a crossfire or a new F8 snopro. the wife talked me into the t660 turbo and I will not look back in regret.

I agree totally! I've not ridden the twin spar models, but do have a bit of time on the Yamaha's. I won't put down the Y's because they are very nicely built....fit and finish is #1, nice sled. I recently purchased a used 04 T660 and can't say enough about it. Hopefully this trend continues. It's super quiet and that is awsome in itself. Cruising along all you hear is the wind and the skis cuting through the snow and ice. When you do get the urge to try the go lever it doesn't let you down. Great sled so far....I love it......but to each their own!

whats the speed of a T660?
top end out in a decent amount of snow? on a road?
Anyone have videos of them drag racing?

95 is usually average top speed. Depending on conditions I can sometimes get the speedo to read 100. I ve never GPSed it though so I dont know accurate speed.
