Hey all.. Im in the search for a new sled.. I found a 2006 Mach Z X 1000 SDI. for $6400 with 1 mile on it. Everythings stock. Sitting at a stealership. Comes with a 1 year warrenty. You think thats a good deal? My search list was a Yamaha Apex/Attak, Arctic Cat F7 or Zr800/900.. I couldnt find any with reasonable mile's for the price everyone wanted. What do you all think about the Mach Z's? I know this is the SkiDoo part. So i dont care if your being biased or if your just a down right skidoo lover. I wanna hear what everyone has to say. I will be picking it up on friday.

Thanks

Chris

Your gonna love it!!!!!!

That's a great deal!!!

You will love the sled. Fast, great handling and mileage. Looks the best too.

There are a couple of mods you should do to keep things from going south though. The airbox to the panel seal is not good. Get a set of uni-filters to put right on the throttle bodies to keep belt dust out of the engine. Also, the low pressure fuel pump under the engine is in a bad spot and it doesn't last there -- which can cause serious fuel pressure problems. Remount it by the battery. Lots of additional info in the Mach forum on dootalk.

Cheers

No bash, just honest opinion: The Mach is a time bomb...a very fast and sexiful time bomb...I know of several that went down here in my area this winter, and these guys are not idiots, they just ride easy like on the wide trails...IMO, you should call Houlton Powersports, an HCS advertizer. They will sell you a NEW F-7 with warranty for less than 6K, shipped to your door.

I have an 06 mach z and i love it! wouldnt trade it for anything. if you dont go with the mach, go with the apex. for the love of god dont go with the f7 or especially not the zr series.

The F-7 is as good a sled as has ever hit snow, don't be a dub. They are sweet sleds if you don't mind handling a wrench to keep the thing tight. Mine has 4,200 miles and has never let me down, not one time. The pipes crack, but that's an easy fix at any metal shop. Mine still pulls 114 on the digital speedometer. Still gets almost 14 mpg if I want to. Still ditch bangs harder than ANY Yamaha ever will. The EFI is bulletproof....For the $$ spent, it's the best deal going...good luck though with whatever you buy...

get the mach. you just cant beat the torque of that 1000

That machine listed for about $11,749.00 new. Why do you think it hasn't been sold, and why do you think it's dis-counted so heavily? Do ya' think it's because so many low pressure fuel pumps fail, and so many owners are finding kevlar belt material
in their throttle bodies? I have an '07 that sat at the dealers for 41 days, misdiagnosed, finally found to be a low pressure pump, at 580 miles! If I keep it I have to install two fuel pressure gauges, and fashion an improved airbox system. This will probably cost me another $300.00. I don't dare ride it until these mods are done, for fear that I'll end up with a destroyed engine, like many, many others here, and on Dootalk. You can buy what you want, but I wish I had gotten on these sites BEFORE I bought mine. The rare times that you can line up on a smooth lake and dominate another machine at 125, will NEVER compensate for the potential problems you might face. Just my .02, good luck with whatever you buy.

Your sled sat at the dealer for 41 days!!!!! And it was the fuel pump. Get a new dealer. I'm running the original 05 fuel pump in mine, no problems here. It amazes me how people have a lame dealership, and than their sleds a lemon. Not trying to be a dick, but good service is worth a bunch. With any sled, they ALL have issues.3Machs in my group everyone has the original fuel pumps. Stock air boxes, shoot the 06 in my trailer has original plugs, belt and never leaves the trailer.Except when it goes out on the lake or trail. I paid 8500 for my RX1 in 03 when i traded it in two seasons later got 3900!! Sleds depreciate quite a bit if you havn't noticed. But if you want to be THE KING the MACH is your only choice!!!!!

I have 6800 miles on my 07' Mach ZX had the fuel pump issue at 500 miles in Quebec, fixed it in 3 hours and moved it by the battery. This sled is the most powerful sled and loves the wide open trails in Quebec! I wish I could find an 07'ZX in a crate, that would be my next sled, nothing else compares!!!!!!!!!

I've got a 2007 Mach Z Adrenaline, with 620 easy, never raced, never beaten, never abused miles. Showroom condition. Kept in locked, alarmed garage. Never ridden by anyone other than myself. Make me an offer!!!

Does that explain why all the dealers I called in my area have left-over Machs, and won't take mine in trade????

i love my 05 mach! just wish it was a little lighter. hasnt even had so much as a hiccup.

My dealer in town has had to locate 5 MACHS this season for their customers. They just took an 07X in trade on a ZX1400 bike. They've sold 30 Machs since the 05's and can't keep them on the showroom floor. We could turn this into a real pissing match if we wanted. Just sucks it took your dealer 41 days to diognose your sled.

I got one for you! Billerica Motorsports, brand new 2007, 1000 SDI Mach Z. Blowout price $8999.00! Should I tell them to hold it for you??

Yeah, put the deposit on your credit card. Make sure they set it up the way they did yours.

Yeah, as usual. Big talk how much you all like the Mach Z, but just that, all talk.

Hopefully if we ignore you you'll go away!!!

Mass.!! You must live in Lowell. There's a street there called Tanner Street. It's all junk yards, and used car lots. The saying on Tanner Street is, and always has been, " money talks, and B.S. walks! " So Rodboy, start walkin'!

no wonder they banned this douche on doo-talk

Hey, you shouldn't call Rodboy a douche, it makes you look like the ass pilot, that you are.

so i hear you really like your mach and wish they would put the 1000 in the xp chassis.... me too dude me too.

Hmmmm interesting post, stereotypical HCS, somebody 60 going on 12 when it comes to sleds. Just because you got a bad one doesn't mean you can regress to arguing like a child. 5k miles on an 06 Mach and still going strong. I can get around 6K on a trade, but there is nothing out there to replace it so I am going to drive it another year.

Now, why did you have to throw your stupid two cents worth of crap in here? You punk age discriminator, I wish I was a little bit younger, I would beat you like a rented mule. Here's a dime, call someone who gives a crap about your 6k Mach. By the way
Goofinator, all the companies make a machine as fast, or almost as fast as the Mach Z, and their fuel pumps don't crap the bed at
4-5 hundred miles, and their engines don't meltdown, from kevlar in the airbox, and bad high pressure pumps. You're a Berkshire Jerkshire!!

How would you know if a fuel pump last 4-500 miles. You havn't even ridden that many in the past 2 seasons.

Oh yeah, yesterday you call me an evicted from Dootalk douche, today you're my big 1000 xp buddy. All day long today while doing yardwork, all I could think of was coming up there and pounding you're lights out in a TOUGH MAN contest. You think you're big with that SLUDGEJAMMER name, and your Rancho lift kit truck. Yeah, you got 34 years on me, but I'd like nothing more than to put your lights out at the Manitoba Civic Arena.

Oh geez, now I know why you're such a pain in the ass. It's because you're so dumb, you poor shmuck. I have 620 miles on it. If you could add at the level of a fifth grader, you would have calculated from the profile that I had at LEAST 580 miles. When Jeff Foxworthy comes around and asks if you're as smart as a FIFTH grader, I'm 'gonna get you a ticket and send you up there. It will be worth whatever I have to pay, to laugh my ass off at you!!

I can't beleive you waited 41 days for a fuel pump! I had mine fixed in 3hours on a trip in Quebec that was 6300 miles ago!

you get really tough raking leaves and and burning grass clippings there old balls? i bet your mouth is even bigger then your b.s.

Ya think it might just be his attitude? If I was a dealer I wouldn't let a whinny a$$ 60 yr old in the door either. Hey Mach_not I think your problem lies with your sled choice - the freestyle would have been more to your liking.

Maybe he should enroll in the "Dale Carnegie Course-How to win over friends and influence people". Just a thought....

yeah they probably knew it was the pump all along. they were hoping he got mad and bought an arctic cat, so he would be out of their hair...


how's the mach treating ya?

Thats funny as hell. I actual took that corse for work. Heading up your way saturday. Hows the trails holding up?

Love the mach! I thought it would be more of a handful on the trails than it is. In the twisties you have to work but get it on the higher speed trails and it really shines! Now if I could just get it to spank rodder's sled....LOL! Went out on Sunday and the trails were as good as mid winter, got a little warm today but not bad at all. The trails should be fine this weekend, maybe I'll see you on the pond.

Hopefully i'll see you up there 800HO. Thanx for the info. Were staying in IP.

Well, since you brought up my old balls, I bet they are the same size as your big mouth.

Well Berkshire Jerkshire, you've proven your stupidity AGAIN! Whiney is : making a complaining sound in an irritating fashion.
Whinny is : a sound made by a horse. Your level of spelling is indicative of your intelligence, not too high! As for the freestyle,
comment, find a place on your way north, near the Manchester area where we can race, and we'll see if you go as good as your
big, stupid, mouth.

Please tell us that you have been goofing on us all along because you make my ex-wife seem like a geisha.

Come., how do you know about the freestyle, is that what you secretly like?

I do know that someone here on the moderators is editing, and changing my replies. I just sent one through, and it was changed
from what I sent. So, I guess I'm being prevented from responding by the moderators. No I'm not goofing on you. You drew first blood with your personal comments, and yes, if I could I would punch your lights out on Island Pond. This probably won't get through though, you must be holding hands with the right people. We can tell why you're wife dumped you, for a real man.

No, you got that backwards. I shipped her ass out because she was one annoying bitch. Hence the reference to her being like a geisha compared to you.

so jeffery dahmer did have a brother....

Hey Rodboy!

Pick me up on the way to Island Pond. I'd like nothing more that to beat the snot out of your Boytoy 800HO, the HO!

Nah, more like the guy in Joe Dirt....

Too bad you weren't here on the east coast, then you, Rodboy, Snot., and 800HO the Ho, could all stand around a campfire on Island Pond at night, and have a circle jerk, like they usually do. To infinity!

We can always use a pivot man and you surely have the qualifications. Whaddya say? Anyway, playtime is over for the night, gotta get up early, sounds like I better go back to the gym.

I honestly never heard of such a thing. I guess I was right about you! No, in case you haven't noticed you're the only one on here
that can't wait to see his "boys". No wonder the bitch left you for a real man. Ha! Ha!

yeah you would like that wouldnt ya there tough guy....
