So after about 8 years of not owning sleds and raising kids, this season I got bit by the bug. Although we have had a bad snow year in the Central Rockies of CO, this has meant sled prices are down. I picked up a 2011 Expedition Sport 600 ace for $1500. Needed a new left headlight, windshield and front bumper. It was a resort patrol sled, so even with 10,000 miles, mechanically it was good. I set it up as a access ski sled / 2 up for my wife and 7yr old to family ride. I then purchased a 2007 Summit X 800r from a woman who had lost her husband. Sled had sat for 5 years. Called the local dealer and he confirmed a new motor was put in 30 miles previously. Have been doing mods and work on both of these all winter and had a blast riding them. We go out as a family and my son (11yr) keeps wanting to ride by himself... SO.
I found a 2008 Freestyle Session about 100 miles away on Facebook Marketplace. Young lad wanted a mint, but I had other ideas. Battery was dead, seat was destroyed, plastic was oxidized, carb boot was shot. Engine had good compression and the sled was strait. I offered him $400 and we settled at $500.
Loaded it up and then dropped it straight off at the dealer for a full inspection. While it was there, I ordered a 121"x15"x1.75 Camoplast track. They did a great job for a reasonable price and went through the fuel system (replaced all lines / filter, etc), Cleaned carburetor, installed new carburetor boot, serviced engine and brakes, and installed new slides and the track I ordered. Ran like a top when I picked it up. Fair price and I did not have the time to do it all.
Rear plastic and tail light removed. Ran ÂĽ inch brake line as conduit under the tunnel and secured it with clips and rivets. Cut down the flap and flipped the support bracket to hold the flap out. Reinstalled flap and ran wire for the new LED tail light through the new "conduit".
Ground = Sled: Yellow w/black (og harness: Black) / LED: black
Tail Running Light = Sled: Yellow (og harness: Red) / Diode + Resistor: 390 ohm Orange (3), White (9), Brown (x10ohm), Gold (5%)=> LED: Red
Brake Light = Sled: White (og harness: White) = Diode => LED: Red
Removed bogie wheel and installed flexible ice scratchers. Subject to change depending on how much snow the track kicks up. Not needed for cooling, as fan cooled. Installed a small rack and 2 footman's loops Generic Polaris style under seat zipper bag installed
