Hello, We are planning to purchase a new snowmobile this year. Assuming the 2024 models are similar to this years (is that a fair assumption?), I am looking for some opinions/advice about what to go for. My partner has a 2020 Expedition Sport 900 Ace (16"). We have a semi-remote trapline...

Had it running fine and some short rides with the kids before Christmas. Parked it outside the house (no shed) covered with a tarp over Christmas. Had it running on the 22nd before we left. Went to start it today and all I heard is a loud “chunk chunk chunk” when using the electric starter, no...

Hey, just got home from being in the bush all day. Got a 2018 skandic swt 900 ACE that was giving me trouble. Cant say when it started as ive been using it in low gear and going slow on the trapline for the last week or so, but i dropped the sleigh tonight and figured id make some miles and...

Hello, I'm new to this site but couldn't find any information about whether or not this sled would be any good for trapping or pulling loads. from what I've found it seems like they're decent at breaking trail but I wasn't really able to find much on if they were competent at pulling some weight...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone would have a stopper plate for the torque stop on a 1998 Skandic 380. Here is a picture of what I'm looking for. It's #16 in this picture, P/N: 512052200. I'm located in Southern Ontario.

My 1997 Skandic widetrack shock needs to be replaced. I am able to find the coil over spring but not the shock it self. Looking for a 1997 front suspension shock Part Number M23017. Does anyone know where I might find one? Or other possible work arounds/fits?

Hi all, I just purchased a second hand Skandic and am looking to get it ready for the winter. It currently has a passenger seat and a cargo box, as well as heavy duty rear bumper. My main complaint is that theres no way to carry spare gas and no good way to attach my snowshoes, though I can...

Hello everyone, As the title says! Even though I lived in Canada and Finland for 16 years combined now, I have never owned a snowmobile until now (and even then, I go pick it up on Saturday). I have ridden a couple of times as a tourist and once for some remote job site exploration in Northern...

Hi all. I’m looking to buy a new machine as my last one is a 2003 Polaris 500 wide track it’s being sold for $3k Canadian. Any thoughts? How long is the motor usually good for? This is the wide track model

I'm relatively new to the S-Chassis models, and I have two of them, a 1998 Skandic 380 and a 1998 Formula 500. I know many on here will call me crazy, but I like the older machines. The ones I have are in really good condition and I intend to keep them for a long time. I'm a mechanic so I do all...

Hi there. Tippy Skandic 600 here, wanted to tighten limiter strap this weekend. But is it supposed to be just one strap there? Seems to me a single strap off center would make the frame twist? Or I may, as I often am, be wrong in my conclusion :) And - do I need a special tool to adjust the...

Folks, Debating between a WT or SWT for a 900 Ace Skandic SE. Mainly using the sled for breaking trail in the woods (Northern Ontario, usually 3-4 feet of snow, sometimes more), icefishing and maintaining large property. I will occasionally tow a small groomer (drag) around a few km of trails...

Hi all, I am a bit confused as BRP lists 3 different part numbers of items needed to install the glove box extension. 2 of which are basically the same. There are 2 USB ports listed and 1 extension cable. From all the research I have done on YouTube and also the SkiDoo install instructions, it...

I picked up a 98 skandic swt and shortly after purchase the front pogo suspension failed due to the shock tube breaking apart. Now when making turns, the spring forces the ski leg down so far, that the grooved piece that connects the ski leg to the rest of the steering disconnects causing the...

Hi im new on this website and I have a few questions about breaking-trails into the woods! Which sled would be the best , im hesitating between 3 , which are: the expediton , the tundra or the skandic. What I like to do is going into the woods where no one goes and cuting trees to make a...

Hey guys new to the group, not having much luck getting answers from my local dealer or google so here goes: I have a great running 2001 600 WT Skandic, with some rear suspension issues (rust/cracks) which in turn hurt the track. I have found a 500 parts machine locally with a brand new...

So I've been trying to isolate this issue and still haven't figured out what's up. My 2015 Skandic SWT ACE 900 seems like it just doesn't like the cold - kind of a problem. I have installed a new battery to see if that's the issue and it doesn't seem to help. Here's what happens: At warm temps...

We’re Building a cabin and hauling all the logs and building supplies in, I have most of it hauled in already but still some logs and beams left! It’s about 6 miles from the road I was using a skandic wt 550F which performed very well until I blew up the clutch on it. I’m looking to upgrade and...

I have a 2006 skidoo skandic 550F wt, I just had the primary and secondary clutch rebuild on it. I installed them the machines fires up but when I put it into gear it will either stall out or it will take off like someone is holding the throttle and drive it’s self. It idles good in neutral, I...

I'm looking for an opinion on the necessity of spending money on the purchase of the rear bumper. BRP says it increases the towing capacity from 300 to 1500 lbs. They label it as an essential purchase ! My beef is why don't they include it with the factory package if it's essential ? OK...I...
