$3000 will get you a mid - late 90's headache. Yamaha had nothing that was even on the radar during the time that a now used sled would be in that price range.

You asked not for other recommendation but too bad!!. Look for a 670 summit in your price range.

Look for a 700 mountain max they were great sleds.

ok , what about the gas mileage? whats it like for a yamaha 700 in the boondocks/mountains?

 

[dooryder]

no matter what yamaha you get its still a TANK!

check out what is on kijji, there are usually some good deals there. you may need to pay a little more for a viper, but they are a really good sled as long as they have the a.t.t.e.c. system in them. which means no jetting or nothing just pull and go. they are awesome on gas too.

ya look for a 97 or newer mm 700 they are awesome sleds my dad had one with probly over 14000km on it never had to touch the motor, just normal maintenance, they are awesome sleds, forget what any one else says show me a cat doo or polas that has that kinda mialage on the original motor and is still reliable.

 

[TheLonelyIsland]

yah i know the yammis are reliable , i just sold a 86 phazer for $1,200 never touched the engine and i put almost 10,000kms on the original motor!! show me a cat , doo or polaris the is that reliable and that will do 90mph!!
like i said DONT TELL ME ABOUT POLARIS OR SKIDOO! i only said cat because i know i cant afford one!!

like i said DONT TELL ME ABOUT POLARIS OR SKIDOO! i only said cat because i know i cant afford one!!

my 98 summit 670 H.O. is reliable and is one of the most bullet proof motors ever put in a sled and does well over 90mph

i agree with most of the other posters, the mountain max 700 was a great sled my one recomendation as told to me by many others is make sure its the newer model with the heated carbs. makes a world of difference. helps with ice up and gives better mileage on colder days

 

[Junior Highmark]

Even the 600 twin! We had one, It was a nice ride, Completely bullet proof.

 

[sledslut]

get urself a 2001 MM700 thats a sick sled.,.. and lots of mods u can do for cheap

 

[TravisFader]

Im rocking the 04 viper and shes a fine beast, picked it up last year for 5000 bean and it had 1400 km on it

 

[stuckenough]

Been a Yammy guy since 91 and I agree they are super reliable. Viper might be a little out of your price range, but an MM700 done up with a few mods is still a great mountain sled even today.
See if you can find one with a drop&roll and a set of pipes. If you don't mind the drive check online in BC....lots of wacked out Yammy's there.

Good luck

I've got a 2001 MM700 w/ approx. 6000 km's on it. SLP pipes, extrovert drivers, reed spacers, vari-flow. It has been a good reliable sled and hasn't left me on the hill yet unlike my XP. I had it listed here last year for sale but no offers. Still have it sitting in the garage....Hehehe it was faster than Rusty's M8.

 

[BC Sno-Ghost]

Definitely the MM 700 is the way to go. I just sold a 1999 and a 2000. They were awesome sleds. Excellent gas mileage for a triple. The 2000 had almost 6000 kms on it and the engine had never been touched but was till going strong.
You'll need to put a handlebar riser on it as they sit quite low and as mentioned earlier, tons of mods you can do to em. The tracks were 141" and that was the only reason I sold them as I wanted to get some longer tracks.

 

[TheLonelyIsland]

yah i just want something fun , fast , powerful and RELIABLE!!!!
