2004 Summit 600 HO

[meierjn]

Good day... I am considering purchasing a used Summit 600 HO with approximately 4500 KM. I am not very familiar with this year of sled but have heard good thing's about the 600 HO engines. I haven't went to look at the sled yet and am wondering what everyone's opinions are regarding this year and model? Are there any common issues I should be on the lookout for? Cosmetically, as far as I can tell, the sled looks great and well kept but before heading out have a look I'd like to get some opinions and suggestions of what I should look at with this year and model. Thanks in advance!

If you can I would try and get an ETEC, those came out in 2009 The 08 where SDI and pretty good too. The 04 is carbed

As long as the sled is in good condition and the price is right then its not a bad deal. Those engines never had any quirks or things to watch for that i can recall.

Wicked sled when clutched properly. I had 2 and wish I never sold them. They would have been great for my girls.
