Someone needs to sell me one of those here in Michigan for off trail. Cannot find anything here.
had a 99 mtn max 600 that was my first big sled steppin up from a bravo. wicked awesome sled and sure would go like hell! problem with it though was i could not keep the engine in that sled. sold it off after blowin it up for the 2 time in 600km. i think the smart carbs were the problem. But would i buy one again? Hell ya!
I think eveyones kids ride them now,I know my son thinks its his:beer;

I got well over 15,000 miles on mine before I sold It back in 2005. It was a 2002 700 Fully moded.
I rebuilt it once at 7000 miles.
Best sled ever.

who still is riding a mtn max
I have had three mtn. max's, and IMO the best sled ever built. I have only been towed out once in 11 years of riding them. ( a broken drive shaft on my first 97 max) All three of them have had SLP pipes and turning at 8900-9000 RPM and not one engine problem. My current mtn. max is a 99' motor with a SLP 800 kit with case and cylinder porting,SLP big bore pipes, p-85 primary,roller secondary, elkholm tunnel, boss seat, MPI light weight front end, Kayaba long travel shocks, a 09' nytro rear skid lightened up,(transfers and rides much better than my old skid even with everthing lightened up and with MPI transfer kit) 6 inch bar riser, left hand throttle, lexan hood, 153x16x2.5 challenger extreme track, simmons skis, I love how reliable and how strong the sled runs. I also love how the sled handles, and hearing the sweet sound of a triple coming to life. Its fun beating my buddies dragons 800.s, XP,s and M8s, I tell them when they can get another 800 to beat the sled, I will update,(thats not turboed) Even then I don't think I will ever be able to sell her, because what ever I replace her with probably won't be as reliable, so I will need a back-up.

Thought I would keep this awesome thread alive by asking a question. I'm going longer with my stock MM this year (2000) and I'm wondering what would be the best skid to put in? Buy MPI new? Look for a used Fabcraft, or ez-ryde? Put in a cat or poo skid and try and get the geometry right? What are everyone's thoughts? I mostly boondock....attached a pic of me right before I biffed and another of mine and my brother's, he has a 2001.

I have an MPI set up with works shock and I like it alot. I hear puttin a cat skid under one lightens up alot and works well.

what suspension to put in to go longer in 2000 m.m.
I have had the MPI suspension, but IMO I would either look for a used cat skid out of a M7 (I have seen them used in the forums for around $300) or I would go with a used Nytro skid. Both skids will ride alot nicer and tranfer better. I found a nytro skid and after removing wheels and putting on ice-scratchers I got the weight within 2 lbs of a stock m7 skid. But if you can afford it, I am sure the timbersled and EZ-ride our better, it just depends on how much you want to spend. good luck
99 M.M. 800 kit lots of goodies
95 phazer II 136x1.5
95 CR 500

Anyone have a template for mounting either a newer M7/8 or RMK skid in a MM? Looking for something that flat out works. As was stated earlier, I see a few cat skids for around 300 and a few 155 RMK skids for 400 on up. Which of the two fit the tunnel width better? There's a beer in it for someone if they can tell me what they used for used skids in their MM and what track length they had to go with!! I have heard, not sure of the truth, that a 141 cat skid in stock holes will run a 151 track and a 153 will run a 162. If I went with a 155 RMK skid would my track have to be a 162, 166? And yes, I'm a total rube when it comes to this stuff, so no heckling! I just like to ride.
