My first time out was on a friends Spitfire, and I wrekcked it into a 3 -4ft hole in the ground. I knocked my two top front teeth in half, had an emergency dentist visit at 9pm at night, and knew I had to climb on another sled. I ended up buying that sled and rode it for a year, until it shucked the...

Thanks Rich!!!

Just curious, I am shopping around for a NEW Ride, and wanted to know what a decent shape running '80 liquifire is going for these days? I saw one for a $800, but thought that it sounded high. Perhaps the seller is not far off though, as the prices of the JD sleds is going up it seems.... Just want ...

I would like something faster, but I do like this sled. I really don't want to move up to a liquid cooled one, because there is just more to go wrong. *sigh* Maybe I should just keep it. I dunno.

are you talking about the one you sold, or do you have another, i did use the john deere oil in the deeres( now i use cenex oil, cause i ran out of the other, works great,never had any issues) The one I am selling, I only have the one. I keep telling myself not to sell it, the buyer is to meet with...

Thats sweet man, and true.... so very true.

I think he was lookin at Kmh, and MPH!!! I should have held out for more money on mine!!! I MIGHT be sellin mine for $500, but mines in nicer shape... maybe I could have got $1200!!! ROTF LMFAO

Thats an 80 model, looks just like mine, but paints chipped up a lil more!

What do you run in yours? I got this sled, with no manuals, and only the knowledge it needs 2cycle oil, and to be a 50:1 mix.... So I have been told YamaLube is good, but would like more than one opinion.

What does the ashless oil do for it?

My Sportfire Smokes quite a bit on a cold start up. The plugs show a lil oil on them, but not enough to keep it from starting the next time. Do they all do this? I might mix a scosche over the recommended 50:1, but not much. I also use Stihl 2cycle oil.

THIS SUX!!!!

I am moving to IOWA.

Danzig,

Where is Standard, IL? I think we got only an 1" 1/2 in Elliott, IL. Some people have all the luck! *&%^! I bet my sled is in the garage until next winter....

Thanks for the lots of info, as my sporty does around 55mph I imagine with some belt slippage due to the fact it has been on the sled since I bought it three years ago, and who knows how long before that. I was worried when I heard th 80mph!!! that didn't sound right. So I believe I am about where I...

I was wondering what the topped out speed is on these things? I have one and just want something to gage what I am getting against.... any help appreciated! THANKS!
