Maniac Machines
Welcome to Maniac Machines.
This channel will feature footage taken over the years I've been into Powersports.
I have always been around snowmobiles, but didn't really get into Powersports until I bought my own sled in 2006. It was nothing fancy, just a bone stock 1994 Polaris XLT 580cc. I later swapped in an SLP piped 597cc engine with 38mm carbs, clutch kit and pre-studded ice attack track which all gave it a significant boost in performance.
After owning two other XLT's as secondary machines, I bought a 2002 Yamaha SX Viper. I've kept it stock over the years, because it already performs better than any of the XLT's and sounds awesome.
I bought my fist PWC in 2011, which was a 1998 Arctic Cat Tigershark TSL640. I didn't expect this particular powersport to be such a deep rabbit hole. Since buying that first machine, I've owned 2 more Arctic Cats, 7 Bombardier's, 4 Kawasaki's, 2 Yamaha's and 5 Honda's.
I've had my Kawasaki 15F since 2012 and my Aquatrax F-15X since 2017.
