Yup the 175 JF had is a decent amount quicker than the 225

100% correct haha

Up to 91 here in Canada but I've been told all the 91s were leftover 90s that didn't sell

Oh hell ya

Yup those srvs are cool actually. My buddy had an 82 or 83 years ago

🤘

Yup, I had brought a bottle of gas with me to do that because I didn't think it was going to start on its own but it surprised me and fired up haha

Funny you mention that, I remember trying to hop tracks on a Zr when I was younger and totally flying over the hood onto the ground haha. Oops

Looks like most of the votes are trending this way haha. Looks like it's most likely gonna be another vmax

@@minnowlaketuning sweet! But i agree why you sold the other vmax... it was just to nice to ride! haha

@just_in_time5518 it really was, stressed me out when I drove it haha

Good reliable engine in those. Would be a good swap for a 540 or the exciter I think

@@minnowlaketuning I didn’t watch your whole video till now. I have an ovation 340 as well picked up last year for 50 bucks for my kids, but I have more fun on that little thing than I did on any of my Polaris 800s and it’s easy to get out of the snow

@upnorthvlogs I love the ovation I got, it's actually hilarious to drive

@@minnowlaketuningPolaris Stupid AutoCorrect and agreed

Oh ya, would be a rocket

That's awesome, did it make it 13k without blowing up?

@ it never missed a beat, I left it with the jets it came stock with, but it was hard on clutches. It was the coolest sled around when I first bought it.

@user-le7gv4ym4y that's wild, you got a good one haha, they were known for being pretty unreliable lol. Definitely the coolest looking sleds around in my opinion

I think there's only a handful of em.

Yup that's an option as well

I used to love the wedge chassis. Had a couple, had an indy 650 with pipes l, big bore, porting etc. was a fun sled

Oh hell ya 🤘

82 srx 500 I believe, they sold some to dealers and then got the majority of them back and destroyed them

Thanks for watching and commenting. The only other one in this chassis was the 81 srx 440 but it was even more unreliable.

@@minnowlaketuning I watched and commented on your video last year (or was it the year before?) when you described your lucky find for the V-Max. Were you able to iron out the problems and get 'er running optimally? or were there still problems with it at the end? She's a beautiful sled. Wish I had her up in Northern Newfoundland. Lots of snow up there for six or seven months out of the year. Thanks for showing the video footage of you out driving her at the end. Awesome sounding machine!!! Got the SRV up to 135kmh once on Stone's pond - the end of the pond came up quite fast! But I think the liquid cooled engine in this can go even faster. So I guess you did get the problems ironed out then... good on ya! All the best!

I think the VMAX was a 540cc fan cooled whereas the srx was a liquid cooled triple.

@@danielpomeroy the older V-Max up til like 1989 or 90 was two cylinder as far as I remember, and liquid cooled. It had a system under the seat to chill the coolant. If it was icy conditions, the V-Max didn't cool as well because it needed snow thrown up by the track onto the interface. The SRV or SR-540 (less cooler cousin of the V-Max) was fan cooled. I have an 89 SRV. I wanted the V-Max because it was the coolest machine I've ever seen, but I couldn't afford it at the time. I don't think the SRX would have been a triple because they only made those in the bigger engines for the later V-Max 600 and up. and the SRX was only a 440, as far as I remember. That should have been only a two cylinder, I think, In 91, the 89 SRV was $6000 Canadian and the V-Max was about 8 or 9K, as far as I remember.

@@minnowlaketuning probably why Yammy engineers came up with the exciter and enticer series of sleds. A lot more reliable.

Sparking my way through town? What? I drove probably less than 1km on the streets. Weird comment

🤫 shhh hahah

Yeah it was insanely nice. Ah well I think I'll get another one that's not as nice and then I can have some fun on it

I'm torn between the two, was hoping the comments would be 1 sided but it looks like it's almost split lol

Haha we think alike. Way back in the day I had a 96 if i remember right ultra with psi lake blaster triples on it and an ultra spx CDI. I think a bone stock ultra with triples on it made close to 150hp. Best way to make big power in a wedge chassis. Better than the storms were

It would be a rocket, you can take 100+ lbs off a wedge sled pretty easy. gauge cluster, seat, lightweight hood rear suspension swap, plastic ski's, then you have a real weapon and its a sleeper. Only the 96 Ultra and 96 XCR 600 SP had the oil lubed water pump crankcase oil reservoir, they can/did have crankshaft seal issues on that section of the crankshaft, big bucks to repair, look for a 1997 Ultra sp , they were purple. Those were updated. The XCR 800 top end will literally bolt onto the Ultra bottom end. You can port the XCR 800 cylinders and bore the rack carbs and get over 170hp and you have power valves. Keep it stock and it will last as long as a Yamaha triple.

Very very temperamental engines for sure which is the main reason why I'd like to do the swap

@ I almost bought one in 1990. But my dad talked me out of it. But they are bad Azz looking.

Yup, I've been monetized but unless your bringing in massive views than it's very very minimal

A old srx 440 would be great they were cool old sleds

@toddyuill3924 yep, we had a 1980 on the channel here but never ended up getting it going

The looks definitely save it haha, yeah suspension isn't the greatest, I did a little to the clutching because it was lacking.

@minnowlaketuning you name it I tried it. Rode it till it dropped a piston shirt at 17000km.fixed it and sold it

100% a 1990

@@minnowlaketuning In 1990 Yamaha's muscle sled was the Exciter. 1987 was the last year of the vmax 540.

@@tedc4990 made until 87 in the states and up until 1991 in Canada

Oh hell ya

I'd also like to see this. The pipe wouldn't need to be modified.

At this point I think I have to do both the vmax and the exciter haha

Unfortunately that's the reality. Yeah I think that 700 in there would be pretty cool

Agreed! That would be a blast

​@@minnowlaketuningif you have any questions about the swap, hit me up. I've built three of them!

100% and it would work and around good with the factory 540 twin pipes. I'm torn between that and the triple, the triple would be cooler but the twin is probably the better option for fitment etc

Oh don't worry I've got some more coming on my 04 f7. Just waiting for some dam snow lol

@ i cant wait! I have a 04 f5 with a (chaincase) f7 carb in it. 2 degree key All 440 suspension fabbed onto the tunnel in the rear. Bunch of little things Has 2” picks! Which is unheard of Thing is beyond rowdy.

@EVO_Bzil oh hell ya, I'm surprised you got the 2" studs to clear the exchanger lol

@ anyway I can show you pics?

That's what I'm leaning to as well

Probably going to have to modify the sled because the 540cc is air-cooled and the 700 triple is liquid cooled

I bet you guys had a good time though haha

Now that's cool. I saw a guy stuff a srx 700 in an exciter 570. Definitely unique

Yup those invader 440 LTDs were cool, interceptor 550 too, both pretty hard to come by now lol. Wanted a vmax 4 when I was younger they were just kind of under performers, mega heavy and the early 750s made weak power. 130 or 135 from what I remember. Hard to bite on it when a tcat 900 from the same era was over 160hp lol. But very unique and they sound cool with quad pipes

@@minnowlaketuning yeah, those vmax -4 750's were slower than I expected. I had a buddy of mine who let me ride his 94 vmax-4 and it felt slower than my 2001 ZR600 EFI 😞 I heard the 800's were better, but like you said, with a thunder cat 900 or 1000, it's not even close!! I did have a 1998 Vmax 700 XTC with the triple/ triple red head, that thing was FAST!! Maybe find one of those, they're pretty cheap 🙂

@MrJeffyb69 the plan is to get one of those red head 700s and toss er in another 540. I think that would be cool

@@minnowlaketuning that would be bad ass :-)

1 mistake and that's all she wrote, wish I had the room to store it, it would be on a shelf lol

Me too 😀

Yep the guy was extremely happy to get it and has quite the collection, I know she's in good hands at least

Me as well. Love those leafers

Yeah I'm a bit bummed out, but having driven both, I honestly believe it would not of been close
