when i was a kid all i ever had for sleds was junkers, i remember way back when, when a guy that worked for us bought a brand new 96 formula 3 and let me ride it, it was the first new, nice sled i ever road. I remember it being very fast.

I would definetly drain the chaincase oil and replace with a synthetic(I use klotz chaincase oil). I would also sugest draining the injection oil and replacing with new. What is in the lines it not a problem, but when they sit for a while they will get condensation in the tank. For a non-power valve engine you don’t need anything special, just a decent brand oil (I also use Klotz Tecniplate synthetic)

yeah im sure it doesnt quite keep up with the F7’s and mxz800’s and such of todays sled but its no slouch…for its age and such it really is a nice sled im glad my girl got it for me, specially with 500miles on it, things a baby, it may be old but ill enjoy it

i dont think that i have anything going on Tuesday. i live about an hour north of Albany, but driving dosnt bother me. and i definitely wouldn’t mind getting my hands dirty.  
what do you have for tools, i only ask because ive gone to work at other peoples places that said they had tools, so i didnt bring much, and when i get there they hand me a few screwdrivers and a pair of plires.:Idiots

just posting to say we had a 96 600 triple here a couple years ago, actually i jumped / landed it so hard i bent the frame, the sled moves out for an old 600, u cant compare old sleds with new ones, thanks to the 4 stroke turbo bs, but for a 2 stroke 90’s 600, its an awesome sled !! too bad we dont get a good snow season in upstate ny IMO to really take advantage of it

yeah i agree on the not enough snow factor, but my family owns a house in lake placid, its not a bad drive and there is an insane amount of riding available there, along with the typical tug hill, speculator, and other snowmobile hotspots. theyre fun toys for sure.
