what is the most miles you have ever put on a sled?? whats the most miles you have seen or heard of on a sled? i guess as long as you keep good care of it and rebuild the motor when needed they will last forever??

Over 10,000 miles on my 99 ZR 600. Motor was never touched. Sled was awesome! 5200 miles on my 03 Fire Cat. So far so good. :div20:

that is some miles, speaking of 99 zr 600 what do you recommend to do to em to make em peppier? my buddy owns one and its not up to his standards. it has to big of gearing, dont know the sizes yet and twin pipes with v-force reeds, i told him single pipe and either get stock gearing or maybe a few teeth more, he wants a good holeshot, and top speed. the gear is realing killing it now though.. thanks alot for the miles info, you were a busy person

5000 on a zl600efi 2000

my 99 thundercat has 7,800 miles on orginal motor. I dont see her breaking the 8,000 mile mark this winter.

with that bad triple, you could be down a cylinder and still kick but..

10,300 on my 03 F7-----18,000 on a 1989 EXT 530-----13 to 18,000 on 6 T-Cats----Also have seen many sleds in Qc with mileage in the 20,000+ range but no idea what was required to get them there! :cn:

man 10,000 plus on a 03 sled, did you take a vacation, wow thats some quick miles :div20:

Not sure about miles, but my first sled is still running. I gave it to my brother and he rides it every winter. Starts up on two pulls. The sled is a 77 TX 440. It is all original and we beat the heck out of it27 years isn't too bad for a sled.

man you guys put the milage to em and oldies still running and starting on the 2nd pull i guess you can get em to last a long time

16,000 on a 1993 Wildcat 700. Did 2 preventative engine rebuilds after every 6000 miles and it never gave me a lick of trouble. It is still going and my old man bought it off me because it was so well looked after. :beerchug:

I picked up the F7 Feb 1, 2003! :cn:

12000 on 99 t-cat still running!!! my 1 st sled still have it 77 spitfire satrts 1 st pull every person i got into the sport ths was the sled thay started on, so kinda happy that johndeer is gone make sleds again.

15 000 miles on a 91 A/C 440 fan still running and engine never touched!!!

man i guess they can live long, you guys definatly put the miles to em, but thats what they are for :beerchug:

the most i ever put on a sled before i sold it was 4300 because i dont like to always worry about stuff breaking

At age 25 I bought my first new sled. 1990 Arctic Cat Prowler. Bought as a leftover in October 1991. Rode it for 10 years - 7,150 trouble free miles. During those 10 years I bought a business, got married, had 3 kids, and built a new house. Still managed to avearge over 700 miles a season traveling over at least 250 miles to get to the snow.

My '95 ZRT800 had 14,000 miles on it with no engine work when a rod broke. Parted it out for $2000 the next winter. The kids '95 ZRT800 had 13,000 miles when he quit riding it because the bulkhead was coming apart. My '96 ZRT800 with M10/BLT has about 8,000 miles on it and will be good for a couple of more years of fun.
