What are the specs for an older Yamaha Snosport 125cc Sled?

[Skeeterzx225]

I know this is a 4 stroke forum, but I can't find this info anywhere and was hoping somebody on this forum knows the answers. I'm thinking about picking up a Yamaha SnoSport 125cc sled and wanted to know the following:

How much does it weigh? I know the snoscoot weighs 220-230 lbs
What are its dimensions?
Any known issues to watch out for?
In the 3 years it was in production, what was changed/improved each year?
Will it be powerful enough to tow a 180lb rider and a 100lb flip over icefishing house?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Sorry I don't have any specs for you, but I don't believe it'll tow a rider and the flip over ice fishing house.. Even if it had the power I don't think it has enough lug height in the track to get enough traction.

For the price people want for those things you'd probably be better off finding a 440-600.

I'd throw some picks on it, but I agree, it's probably overkill for the smaller machine..

yea you would be better off with an ovation or something along those lines

ok, so i'm searching for reasons to justify the purchase I just want one of those little bada$$ machines..

I had a snoscoot and used it for fishing. I was 220 at the time and pulled a one man clam behind it, it worked good, i think the sno sport would be better

Did you stud the track?

My good buddy has a Snosport for his kids and after one or two adult beverages we have been known to jump on and go for a spin around his acreage....it's really not big enough for anyone over 5'6" or 150 lbs....which makes for some very funny pictures with me on it as I'm 6'4", 275 and my buddy is 6'3", 250...hahaha.

I have 2 sports. I don't know the specs you're looking for, but can tell you they are not much larger and don't weigh much more than a scoot. One thing to know is that the tracks are not available for the sports anymore. You can still get a track for a scoot (Camoplast makes them for Yamaha), but the sport track is about 4 inches longer than the scoot track, so you have to cut the rails and make new axle mounts. Lots of guys on here have gone the other way lengthening the sport's skid and installing a 121. Takes a fair amount of modding though. So take a good look at the condition of the track before buying.

As far as power goes, it will handle a small adult in packed snow without too much trouble. My kids run all over the lake with them without issues. will it pull a clam? I think so. The newer style clams are made pretty light so as long as it's not overloaded with gear, a sport should get your stuff out on the ice and back.

Something else: It's hard to find a good one under $2000 U.S. these days. Good luck.

No just stock track. i could load it in the back of the truck by my self. I was busting drifts with it, thats a fun little sled, i shouldant have sold it. It was to small for me but it was fun. If i was u i'd buy the sport, if u don't like it, i'll buy it from u, been looking for one. Here's a sno scoot site www.Snoscoot.com

general specs ...
For what you plan on a Bravo would be a better choice ....

bravo will likely be cheaper and loads of parts since they made it for about 25+ years with few changes + short tracks are pretty light - you can drop / update the rear suspension for a big improvement ... sport parts are much more difficult to find since they were only produced for two seasons ... sports are surprisingly quick for their size. Yamaha should have offered an updated sport instead of the new blue cat 120.

Thanks all for the info!

I have a sno scoot and plan to use it for fishing when my daughter is not using it. I am 180lbs and pulls a sleigh no problems. The only thing I noticed is the crappy metal skis are what held it back from riding really good. I felt the metal skis were not sliding well so I put on Mini C&A's and now the sled works awesome.

Would work for limited use ... on the plus side its easy to trailer - I put one of mine in the back of a Honda Pilot and was still able to close the back hatch. Just looked at the weight and the sport is close to 100 lbs lighter than the Premier / Phantom kids sled! You can put a heavier shock in the rear and with a little work you can install full size plastic skis. The sport has lots of umph for its size - biggest issue is the short track and small lug .... again, with a bit of work that can be fixed - I have one Sport running a 121" x 12.5 x 1.33" track which makes a HUGE difference in wher it can go.
