I have been an Ski-Doo advocate for many years but it is time change.
And as far as post 144 ..... I would need training wheels for that. I would look like a monkey Fukking a football on that thing. lol ..... lol .....

Thanks, it is ultimately your choice to make, I'm just trying to answer your question based on what I know and have learned, my education cost me some serious bucks. Would like to think that someone else could benefit here.

Not sure I understand the "moisture problem", unless you mean the problems with reversion on the very early 500 Carb motors with the Gil manifolds. That was caused by the risers being too short, Merc corrected the problem by having Gil make them talller so that there was more of a drop to clear the water out. Your 500 EFI's have the CMI Elbow Tops, real good exhaust and you have nothing to worry about with them.

If you want the Isky spring number that I used I will look it up. The springs Axa is using are too much for the stock 500's, perfect for his application, but more spring than you need for your engines.


BTW those are some nice shots of the Sonic that Axa posted, change them springs and you can get some more of them every weekend this comming season.

How'd you get away with this comment? Pizzin' a stream on the yellow mobiles, you could be No. 2 on the ignore list.
