    Awesome video. Great info on the Mach Z. Love these sleds, had one for a little while, of course it blew up and broke the case.

      Unfortunately a very normal occurrence for these sleds

    I ride a 2007 MachZX with 10,000 miles on it. Absolutely love this machine. If you treat them well they will treat you well. They were so ahead of their time. They will still run with almost anything built today.

      They are amazing sleds if you know and understand all of their nuances. You are right they were way ahead for their time and most techs were not properly trained or prepared to work on them.

      I really enjoyed watching your videos. Your knowledge is incredible ,it made me wonder though. Would you by any chance know the production numbers for the 2007 spring order MachZX? I would be interested in production numbers for all years if you know them. I did read somewhere that there was 800 millennium Mach Zs made not sure if that’s accurate or not. And I believe the 05 MachZ is the highest production year? Thanks again and keep the videos coming.

      The BRP museum should be able to tell you the production numbers of the 07’ ZX.
      There were 800 Millennium Mach Z’s made. 400 for Ca and 400 for the US. One digit difference in the model number and the CA versions odometers were in KM and the US were in MPH.
      Although I don’t know for sure the highest production year Mach Z was either 1998 or 2005. The 05’s there will likely be fewer survive/exist because of so many being parted out after engine failures.

    Hey there. I just stumbled on this video. I have recently acquired serial number 4, also a 2005 prototype. I am in the process of restoring this sled as it’s been sitting in a field for years and full of mice. It was pre mechanical fuel pump as well. It only had the 1 HP pump in the tank. I’m looking at installing a fuel pressure gauge as well. Do you have the list of parts and any pics of how and where to mount the gauge? Thanks, love the video.

    • @skidoojunky6230
      @skidoojunky6230  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, autometer atm3312 gauge, atm2121 gauge mounting cup. A 2’ stainless fuel line with no 4an female ends on both, 4an male run T, 2 of 4an female to 1/4” hose barb push lock fittings and 2 eyelet solderless connectors to hook up the backlight on the pressure gauge to the backlight on the fuel gauge.

      Humm, I’d like to hear more about you fuel pump mod. I have an 05 and recently blew the motor. It only had about 4000mi on a new motor. I believe the fuel pump failed and it just came to a grinding hault on the trail. I’m not even sure what to expect when I open it up. I hope a home and piston will fix it.
      Nothing I have ever ridden puts a smile on my face like this Mach does and I’d love to get her back on the go again.

    Seems like another example of Ski Doo's pre production engines being a lot more dependable than what eventually made it to production.

      They were definitely not for anyone. Like I told someone earlier today. I would love to own a new one today knowing what I know now. I really think the longevity and reliability could be greatly increased

    Back in 05 my new Mxzx800 ptec would outrun my buddy’s 05 Mach Z top speed. The following year he bought an 06 and it was a different sled, would walk me without a problem.

      A lot of the 05’s were underachievers out of the box. With a few grams of pin weight in the primary they were rocket ships. Definitely under clutched out of the box in 05

      If you listen I agree and say they are 3500 mile engines at best. Very unfortunate because they are so cool.
