So I built this sled in 1995 its been around here for years upsetting people on the lakes, as well makes them all think when they get there a$$ handed to them by a 500.

What this is, is a 1994 500, in it is a 900 triple, yes, two 600's married together. Three Aaen pipes, stock carbs, oil injected, an everyday driver, trail ride it and pull out on the lake and run over 120mph, personal best on an ice covered lake, 132.7, commonly runs over 125 on good hard pack, and this has been documented numerous times over the past 16 years. It does pretty good in a Drag race out on a hard pack lake, it only has trail studs, and if you're going to race out the other end, thats when she really shines, it just keeps on pulling. Back in the day Yamaha liked it so much they put it in the booth at the sno show. This sled has been trail ridden 2600mi. in this form.

Anyway, what this is, is a

1995 style engine,
stock cylinders
Aaen pipes

The engine was freshened in 2009, new reeds, pistons, rings, new 2002 SRX track and 192 Roetin Hornets, sled has about 100mi. on it since then.

Very neat sled for sure, what kind of price are you looking to get for it? Do you have any more current pics of it? Thanks.
 
I do in my other computer, but other than the change of the struts and the new windy that was put on last year, it looks the same, not a scratch, and the short strut ic is from 1996 or 97
 
Todays pics

16yrs. later kinda looks the same
