What Do I Have?

[Hawk600]

Hey guys, just got this thing (04 600ho) a few days ago and have a few questions. I'll start it off with the first two that come to mind...

Is there a new and/or better ski mount/ski available? Keep in mind most of my riding is on the trails.

And since I don’t have time to measure is it a 121 or 136 Snowhawk?

Thanks!

Hello,
Nice machine....very clean. You have the 0 offset ski adapter. For trail use there is a 6" offset ski adapter....it effectively shortens your "wheelbase", quicker turning, more responsive. Also you have a 121" track.
Edit: Just noticed you have a snow flap from the 503F...if you mainly trail ride you should get the flap for the 600's, it'll keep the machine from overheating, throws snow up on the exchanger.

What do you have?

The coolest snow machine known to man!

121"

Ski could be updated by adding trail adapter, and anti darting snow tracker kit.

If you look throughout this forum you will see these items, don't think you can't ride without these, many have gone back to the original once they are confident enough to not worry what the ski is doing and just gas it!

Check for pod filters on your carbs, that snowflap is not the updated version that came in the '04 update kits. If you still have a black airbox on your carbs, GET POD FILTERS NOW... Didn't I just write this on another thread?

Why do I need pod filters and if I do get them wont I need to rejet? The guy I got it from did say there was recall done on the air box/intake.
