128 by 13.5

what size lug do they have...im interested in them...id like to get one next season....i also heard that on the 03's the oil pump or somthing like that would fail causing blow ups...and new on this and what year would be best for me to buy....also is it worth getting the snopro...any info would help

 

The o3 F7 is the fastest of all the F7's because they still used a chain case instead of diamond drive if I were to buy and F7 I would get an 03 but as far as them blowing up most of that is not happening anymore but most of it was caused by people tipping them on the right side with a low level of oil in them then they would get an air bubble in the oil line and if you don’t purge it out it could potentially blow it up just keep the oil full and don’t tip it on the right side and you should be good. I’m not sure about the 03's but the o4's had a fuel tank recall they would crack right around the cap area and they also had a recall on the steering and low oil level indicator. the gas tank and the steering are the most important but the oil level indicator just turned on before the oil level really got low so that’s no big deal.

 

cool thx...um anyone know if there reliable...over all good sled like on trail and in the powder?

I just picked up a 03 F7,AWESOME sled,almost3000 miles and runs like it just came out of the box.Damn fast on the trails,so so in powder.I bought a F5 at the same time my buddy bought this F7,I think the 5 is better in the rough stuff,but it could be I rode it for 4 years and I'm not use to the power of the 7 yet...[OK,going from a 5 to a 7,yeah...I'm a little scared of it in the trees!!!]LOL

They are more of a sno cross sled if your coming from a sled with a 15" wide track you will have to get use to it because it is tippyer with the narro track. another thing in the deep powder they like to cut in and get hung up on the running boards cat thought that they could make up for how narrow the track is by making it longer. Good Idea except its still narrow and the  back of the track is in the same foot print as the front there for if it spins the front cuts in and the back cuts in the same spot. They are not a great deep powder sled they do work but not as good as the old 121x15 my cousin has an 06 f-7 and I could get through stuff on my ZRT that he would get burried in. They are a good ditch banger but even trails the guys with the wider tracks are still going to be more stable and less tippy  I could also out run my cousin in the trails to and this is all up on lake of the woods. The F chassis is a fun chassis but it is a whole different riding technique you just have to know how to ride them.

well thx for all the info....im only gonna get one next season....anybody know what mods would be good for the sled....like pipe...can..risers and shit like that?

If you can get an '03 - DO IT!  Fastest stock 700 around PERIOD.  I have one, recently extended the rails/tunnel to a 144" (see picture on profile).  Replacing the stock skis with Simmons Flexi for better floatation.  When in the deep stuff, just keep 'er pinned.  I dragged mine as a 128" fast as he!! man.  Topped out at 105MPH across a lake last winter, radar'd by the RCMP.  Git 'er done!
