Is there a 2005.5 Highmark 1000???

[Heavysledz]

I am getting ready to purchase a 2005 1/2 Ski Doo Highmark 1000 and I was trying to look up the differences between the 2005 and the 2005 1/2 models. The only thing I can see from the pics is that it has the 151 X 16 X 2.25 track and the 2005 models were only offered in 162". Does anyone know what chages were made in the late rease and is it basically a 2006 model???

Only Difference is the 162 to a 151---same sled---the 151 was a late season release. Otherwise the same sled--05 is 05.

OK thanks.....so I should assume it has the button secondary and not the roller secondary and possibly a crappy low pressure fuel pump?

 

[ace in the hole]

pump is a problem with all

So are these the immediate things to look at/do for reliability reasons:

1. Plan on replacing the low pressure fuel pump if not allready done.
2. Have the ECM reflashed with the 07 mid range curve (I ride 5K and up)
3. Remove the rear cooler (done all ready in 06 I believe)
4. Install an external thermostat (08 800 part) to prevent too cool condition and inconsistent temps.
5. Install a temp gauge.
6. Inspect front cooler for cracks/leaks. Bypass if problem is found.
7. Either remove airbox(s) and install pods w/prefilters or ensure good seal on airbox(s) to prevent snow and/or belt dust ingestion resulting in potential crank failure.

Anything else would be for better overall performance or lightening up the sled....

Am I on the right track?

Id say you been doing your homework pretty well. Only other thing really is loose some lbs and clutch it.

 

[Heavysledz]

I am being told that it is all ready set up (clutched) for the riding area I will be riding so hopefully that is a no issue.

Are you telling me too loose some lbs or the sled I weigh 255 in a towel so I can't be too mad at the sled if I am overweight too

This is perfect and to add a few things...

--Check battery make sure it is 12.5V or higher...if not replace...SDI needs a good battery
--and look into a fuel pressure gauge so you can monitor pressure and be ready for a low pressure pump failure..

and I have an 05.5 RT1000...was a 151 and also has some updates that the 05's did not have...but not all the updates like the 06 had...
My dealer told me that my sled was an 06 cause of the VIN....but Its not....

also yes your 05 will have a button secondary..
