It was never called a sno pro, but that pretty much is what the machine was. I dont know of any differences between the race sled and the consumer version. I had a 97 ZR 400. The suspension has Fox clickers in the front, Fox in the rear, with the front shock 'dial adjust', an aluminum bulkhead (only pre-1998 sled to have it), and I think thats it. It has the sno-x style handlebars with bar pad, but think that all the 97 ZRs had that. The chassis was wicked, and that little 440 (when setup) would outrun anything on the trails.

 

i havent seen it yet, but it supposedly has the thicker green skid rails, green belly pan, and the clear 5 gal. tank. i was told that it was a race sno pro, not the consumer version. but i guess ill see when it gets dropped off.

 

if its a 97 it looks like my sled.but the green belly pan and rails on the rear suspension dont sound right to me..and yes it is a damn fun sled.

 

There was no '97 Sno Pro, the race version and the consumer version were the same model. In '98 the race version looked like a typical ZR and got another engine change, the consumer version got the new plastic like the 500/600 with the '97 440 reed engine. You could go through the parts fiche and find a clear tank to work. Green rails come off a newer model.

Which reminds me, somebody was looking for carbs for a '97, if you could find a scrapped '98 consumer model they had big-mouth carbs for one more year.

 

thanks guys. i didnt think they made one, but my friend insisted they did. gonna pick it up anyway and drop my 580 mod motor in it with reverse case. definatly a step up from the 95 chassis.

 

so i have been doing some research and have come up with what i believe is the chassis i am getting. it would be a 98 sno pro chassis. old style hood and pan but with the vev motor in it. that would explain the green slide rails. any one know of these rare race machines? ive never heard of it. the regular zr 440 in 98 had the old 97 motor and the new hood and pan.
