Question: Worst sled you've ever owned?

anchorman · Jan 24, 2009

I have been the owner of a lot of sleds over the years and some I have liked more than others. Although it generated a lot of power and looked cool back in the 90's, my long tracked '94 ZR700 had to be the least reliable, hardest to boondock and overall biggest turd of a sled I have ever had the opportunity to own!

I traded it for a '96 580 Powder Special (which just happens to have been one of the best I've owned!)

My first Mountain sled......99 600 RMK with 141 Camo,it was like learning to sidehill on a wheelbarrow full of bricks!

My POS 91 EXT....what a pile. I was always wrenching on that thing in the mountains, kicking it, etc. I went Polaris and never went back! LOL...well I would ride a M sled now.

1992 RXL 650 efi . When it ran, it ripped. But man, after 2 hrs of riding after buying it, cranks gone, fixed, 3 hrs riding, middle piston gone, fixed, battery doesn't have enough voltage, ecu gone, fixed, etc.... God, those were the days.

Oh, still loyal. Finally got back into it, 08 D8. God, those are still the days.

1997 670 summit, if you rolled it over it would flood and was an hour (seemed like) of pulling to get it started again. Got rid of it and bought a 1997 rmk 700 and loved it.

Man those were the days.... Talk about feeling like you pulled the pin on grenade every time you went out. LOL

My two biggest POS's ever hands were a 1990 Indy 650 and 1980 Centurion 500. Both were huge hunks of chit.

2002 ZR 440 Sno Pro. When it ran and held together, it ripped but that was almost never until the last few months I owned it when I got the major kinks in it worked out, it ran fairly good but I wanted a true mountain sled.

That sled basically made me my dealer's best customer in parts and we became good buddies

Biggest Turd?

93' Polaris 750 Storm Triple/Triple was the biggest turd I've owned thus far. Back in the day of long track 133"/136", deep lug 1.25".
To be fair, :beer;there was a few days it would haul A$$

1985 Ski Doo Formula MX.....engine never missed a beat, but absolutely everything else on it broke at one time or another.
