Saw a Yamaha Phazer on a local site here for cheap too, so I did some research on them, this is what I found out, They arent the fastest skidoo out there but they are comfortorable and reliable because they are a Yammy. They look like they would be a fun skidoo to have and ride, do you have any pictures of it and/or an asking price?

phazers are nice machines, I actually like almost all of the yamaha sleds from that time period (mid 80s to 90's). The are a 480 cc fan cooled single carb, and they move along nice and ride good as well.

Some sleds that yamaha made that were similar to the phazers were the SS 440, the SRV 540, and the XLV 540. I have 2 SS's, and I have ridden a few SRV's. They have get great fuel milaege and still plenty of power and acceleration, and are very reliable. The phazer is right in the middle of these sleds power wise, from what I hear is a very trail friendly sled.

I had my SS out last night riding around the yard, I had forgotten how quick that thing was compared to my 250R. Lifted the skis right up off the ground and it holds them there until I let off the gas. Thats probably because of the studs though:naughty: go for it man, great sleds, very reliable, post some pics if you get it!

nice deal. for 6 g thats an ok deal. the only thing you may or may not like is the fact its a 4 stroke. ive drove a 4 stroke and they seem kinda slugish. but just my thought. but for only 6 g for a 500 not bad at all. go for it

Sorry for the hi-jack.

If you're looking for a sled...I've got 1 that will haul the mail. '95 Ski-Doo Mach Z 780. Piped,clutched,studded. Good shape for the year. Runs great. Needs home. No use for it down here in GA. Didn't have time to sell it before I moved from MI. to GA. Sits under the cover waiting for someone to ride it.
