whos still riding the mountain max!!

[tm8man414]

i just got off mine this season and moved to a turbo m8...didnt have a single problem with my 2000 mountain max i bet it wished i treated it bit nicer haha. i had bender triple pipes 151 track all my wheels removed. still think that skid is one of the best out there its just so simple.

 

[farwest]

I ride with two 700mmax's,one with a can and one total mod,they have both towed my Doo's.:beer;I can't believe how reliable they are.A little thirsty though.

 

[Lt Rascal]

A little thirsty though.

Wow that surprises me. I ride a '97 MMax 700 everything modded but the motor. I average 50 to 60 miles on half a tank. The Poo, Doo or Cat guys I ride with all have to head out do to gas long before I need to. I love my MMax can not justify the money for what little I gain on performance of a new one. Not to say I don't want a Nytro. But that is cause I want one not because I am laking performance form my MMax.

 

[tm8man414]

yeah mine was great on fuel best out of the people i rode with

 

[1slo_MM]

I still have one and it ROCKS! It climbs the best out of our group. no turbos though. closest is an 05 summit mod.

I rode a couple times this year with a 01 700 159" mod. Only stuff that was stock was the tub and the gas tank...if i remember right..

anyway, very very impressive! couldn't keep up with the two M1000s though lol

 

[M.M. 700]

Still riding mine. Plan to keep it for along time. Fun sled, zero problems, great fuel milage.

I'm still riding one, but it's for sale in the swap meet. :face-icon-small-win

It has a Price 1000 based off an srx bottom end, it also has about 75-80 lbs. taken off from stock. Somebody need to buy it, I've owned since it was new and I'm ready to try something different.

 

[thinksnow]

I have one as a backup. I nailed a rock pile with the TRX-1 and rode the MM the last day of the trip. Man I still love that sled. I can definitely notice the 100 HP difference though.LOL

 

[Yamamauler]

Great sleds, I still have 3 of them. a fairly stock 1997 MM700 that my youngest son rides, its pushing 4,900 miles right now. The only probelms over the years were a snapped started cord and a broken steering post.
Son number 2 has a 1997 MM700 (with Hartman's 750 kit) 159, BOSS seat, 3.5 bar riser and a few other goodies. this one has 3,700 miles with any issues at all.
I still have a 1997 MM700 with a UBR 944. The sled easily has 6,000 + miles and motor I'm guessing 1,500-2,000 miles.

Since I bought my first MM 700 in 1997 I have been towed out a total of three times, all with broken steering posts. All have been beefed up bigtime after they broke.
It may have something to do with my stature, 6' 8" so I added 8" - 10" of risers....LOL

[rynokron]

Yep, they sure are reliable. I've been riding mine since it was new in 99' Towed home once with a broken driveshaft. Had to tow my wifes 01' home once with a broken drive shaft as well.

 

[Maxx99]

Still riding my little 99. Cheap and reliable. Doesn't always make the highmark but turns a few heads.

The next thing I would do to mine is a 944 or even a Bender 800 big bore. I wish i could find a good deal on a used kit.

Not to highjack the thread. But what do you think of the 750 kit from Hartman?????? Much gain from only 50cc's??

you can buy a whole sled with a big bore for the same price as doing a big bore yourself. you might have problems finding someone to build one for you.

PM'd you.

Stiil riding my mountain max Hartman 750, Every year i throw a little money in upgrades and this thing just flat out fricken rips. S.L.P. pipes, boost bottle, v-force reeds, air box mod, Hartman case and cylinder porting, Hartman 750 big bore, works shocks, Mt tamer suspension, ( just received, will let you know how it works this winter), Bar risers, power madd pivot, off set steering post, reed spacers, And a little clutch work. After owning a mountain max, i will definatley be buying another yamaha when the budget is ready.

Thanks
C.B.

 

[M.M. 700]

Wow. I never heard of anyone running the Hartman 750. I might have to look into that when mine is time for a rebuild.

Chedder Brawt any problems with your 750? Notice alot of gain fro the 700??

 

[TRIPLESWILLNEVERDIE!]

I still have four of them. An 01 700 piped 159, a 2000 Ported, piped 159, and two full on mods with all kinds of lightwieght goodies an 800 slp with a 162 extreme and the other a Price 950 with 162 extreme. When they build a stock sled that will beat the 950 I will buy it. Untill then I will continue to ride the the triple two stroke Yamahas. The Mountain Max is the greatest all around mountain sled ever built. IMO

 

[cheddar brawt]

M.M. 700, I did all my motor mods at once, big bore, boost bottle, Head mill, porting, and pipes, so its hard to say how much of a difference just the big bore made. But all these mods together..........SWEEEET! The kit is very dependable, Hartman inc has been great on getting me set up right the first time. I rode this whole season and never had to do anything except add gas and oil. All the motor work pipes etc, around $3000.00 new. There are some sweet modded mm on the swapmeet for around the same price, If i did it all again, i might buy a used one thats already done and still have a stocker for the wife. On the other hand its nice to have everything fresh and new. I should also mention that mine was a 600 and i had to buy 700 jugs, and then have them bored, so the jugs were about a 600.00 expense. Anyway im starting to ramble on.
