Ski-Doo Safari. Good starter sled?

• Add to quote

Looking at a couple of mid 80's to early 90's Safari 377 sleds. Just wondering if anyone has one? Any issues with your sled? Good for a beginner? Thanks

My wife had a 88, and my daughter had a 89.. They were great on gas and oil..Rode a little stiff compared to the newer iron..The motors are a well proven design.. Good starter sled.MMV.  

you should be able to find something 10 years newer for the same price I suspect.. unless its under $500  

What price Dude :wtf: he did not mention price I had a 85 Safari 447,87 Safari 377 and 89 Safari Scout E(same as 377),all good sleds great in deep snow for the power Only thing to watch is the oil injection pump on the recoil and the secondary helixes as the setting pin likes to eat as at them BTW stay away from the Safari L or any Safari with Aarms front as they are heavy POS 100+ lbs more then the leaf spring 84-92 Safaris and no good off trail and riding like a lumber wagon even with independant  

i had a 89 when i was younger. it spent almost as much time upside down than it did on the track. was a great starter sled for young kids but for a little extra you can get something with the same power but with a wider ski stance, which in turn makes it more stable for the beginner.  

We had a 93 and it was a great sled. Never missed a beat while we had it.  

We had a 92 LCE 4?? cc liquid, single carb when I was in High School total POS compared to the 94 arctic cat cougar 440 we had. The cougar was faster, rode better, less repairs, and easier for beginners to maneuvar.  

I have a 1984 Safari 377. I have found it damn near bullet proof. It's seems the harder I ride it, the better it behaves. They are very inexpensive to repair should the need arises and parts are ready available. I bought a full parts sled for 80 bucks and stripped it. I will say you might outgrow its top speed quickly as the single carb units top out about 40 to 50. I plan to shave my heads this spring and rebuild a motor I blew up and bore it 20 over which will bring the 377 to approximately a 442cc. It is a really fun ride though.  

My dad had an 85 Safari 377 very good beginner sled, Handles very good, great on gas, light snowmobile. The only real issue is the suspension or lack there of. It's smaller than most of the full sized sleds of the 90's. It doesn't set the world on fire in the power department either, but it wasn't really made to be fast.  

That motor was around forever in a few sleds right up to 04-05 in the 380 MXZ, might just run forever

Just picked up a safari 377, what now?

• Add to quote

So I just picked up a 377 safari, it a 1988, making it 32 years old. I'm tearing the entire thing down right now. What if anything should I be looking for? The engine seems like it is in good shape, starts on the first or second pull, I think the track is shot, but I have another track I'm going to try and fit, but I will need to change the drivers to 2.52". Are there many known trouble points on them? It looks really simple, so I'm not expecting many issues, but lots of people have gotten over their heads by thinking that. I'm taking it to the pressure washer to get it down to clean plastic and metal. I might get a bit crazy by putting in a newer skid, depends if the current one is worth saving.  

I don't know much about your sled (yet) but from what I've heard over the years, be really careful of the hood hinges. I think 80% of safari hoods are trashed at the hinges. I'm not sure what year Safari's suffer from this affliction. But others should.

I have one crack near the hinges. From the corner of the headlight down to the front. I'm sure I can fix it from the back, little bit of sheet aluminum and some rivets, might not ever notice it has a crack. I'm not sure if the skid works right, I'll need to take that apart. I've got it down to as bare a chassis as I think it needs to be now  

Check the rear suspension shafts there almost always seized and if your sled is like mine they didn’t have grease points so it’s good to add those also assuming the oil injection is still hooked up check the lines and cables I usually recommend getting rid of it cause it’s easy and one less thing to worry about  

Also if you put a newer suspension and track in it post up your progress I’m thinking of putting a 121 on mine and would love to see what you do  

I had few safari my issue were the sliding half bushing on the secondary wears faster than others very hard to find

Maybe a fuse. Start your own discussion on it and you will get more information. Click here for more options  

I wonder if anyone has a Safari, that had the pop-up headlight, that has a cowling in decent shape. I have one in my yard and the cowling is in very rough shape. The lever for the headlight is hanging down. Not sure I want to put any time or effort into fixing it up. Track is also shot.  

If you are looking for a new track contact GB Distribution For the cowling there was a guy making them in fibreglass a while back, you will need to do a search.
