1992 Ski Doo Safari 377

• Add to quote

I am looking at a 92 safari. can get it for around $600. It is very good condition with 1700 miles. It needs carb boots but comes with new ones. Any thoughts out there about the 377? I just want it for the kids and wife to ride around. Very nice, clean looking sled. I have searched the forums for problems, etc and cant seem to find very many....thanks for any comments  

Between the 377 and the 583 I'd say doo has the two most reliable engines before the 21st century!  

thanks Funny you mention these two engines together....My other sled is a 93 grand touring with the 583......also picked up on craigslist for $400--needed some work but overall a great sled.... Thanks for all the help....going to get it tomorrow...  

great little sleds. good for the kids and the wife if you want to go for a little cruise around the yard or on the trails. top out about 65-75 so not that fast. id say very reliable. I'd get it for that price.  

Having owned these for about 10 years, they are bullet proof. One thing though is that off trail in deep snow they tend to get stuck easily. They are great machines for trail riding. Check for any delaminating idler wheels and rough bearings and replace as needed. At that price and mileage, you can't go wrong!  

ive got a 90 safari scout with the 377 in it and it goes anywhere i want it to go even in deep snow, must be my luck i guess. i have had my safari up to 70 mph but ran out of room it was hard pac log road but hey great sled

1988 skidoo safari 377

• Add to quote

im thinkin about buying a skidoo safari for 100 bucks what kinda mods can u do to a fan cooled 377cc skidoo safari and does ne one know where i can get a decent hood for cheap  

I see lots of safari hoods on Craigslist, for some reason. Any ways,i have a '90 safari, and there isn't much you can do to such a small sled. THe seat seems especially long to me, and the windshield is HUGE(easy to crack, i would know. Why i don't have one). Good beater  

ik u cant kill them safaris this sled used to be mine i sold it them im gonna buy it back i used to jump everything and go through like 7 feet of snow without getting stuck i just thought it would be a kinda cool old sled to restore and mess around with on craigslist what are the price ranges go from for the hoods

i dont think it will fit i think its a safari saga the cowels a bit taller  

ok. Yah, never heard of them. good luck! I guess there's always the normal stuff- handguards, skis, fishbones, risers, mountain bar, hooks. I dont know about clutching, might not be worth it on that sled.  

I learned on one of them mine was an 86" couldn't kill it there really reliable we used ares for ice fishing light and easy to manuever fun sleds  

My old man had a 1988 377 Safari and it melted a piston with about 3200 kilometers on it. Pretty gutless sleds but great for beginner riders! Cheers

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.  

Attachments

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.

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  

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[/b] Click to expand...

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

Old Sled Sighting: 1994 Ski-Doo Safari Deluxe—on cusp of vintage

If a vintage snowmobile starts at 25 years, then this 1994 Ski-Doo Safari is on the cusp of being a vintage ride.

— October 12, 2017

Some will say that a dusty relic hardly qualifies as vintage snowmobile, but I found this 1994 Ski Doo Safari Deluxe sitting in a shed waiting to see the light of day. The owner said it was the “kid’s sled” but the kid hadn’t ridden it in a while. So what’s the story of Ski-Doo Safari?

Here’s what one forum contributor had to say about the Safari: “So far it's been a real nice first sled! It's pretty quick, but I wish it was a little faster. She tops out at around 85-90 km/h.”

If a vintage snowmobile starts at 25 years, then this 1994 Ski Doo Safari is on the cusp of being a vintage ride.

Talking about sleds of this era, American Snowmobiler stated back in 1995, “Ski-Doo recognizes this. That is why you see the Bombardier line taking on a very familiar stance. The 1995 models are all based on the F-2000 chassis, DSA front suspensions, C-7 type rear suspension, and proven Rotax engines from one to three cylinders. This year, Ski-Doo has "out-Polarised" Polaris when it comes to efficiency and standardization in its model mix. Oh, yeah. The Safari replacements, now simply Touring models, combine the best of the best - the F-2000 chassis and rock-steady Rotax fan-cooled engines. And with standardization comes an ability to offer aggressive pricing, which is good news for snowmobile consumers. Doesn't this all sound familiar? Isn't that what Polaris has been doing with its Indy? And isn't it what Yamaha would do with the Max series if it was focused?”

Surpassing and overshadowing the Ski-Doo Safari line up was the milestone introduction of the Summit line, because on September 14, 1993 the two millionth Ski-Doo snowmobile was manufactured in Valcourt, Québec. Bombardier creates a new segment in the snowmobiling market with the Summit model, especially designed for powder snow and mountain terrain.

what are the proper sparkplugs for a 1986 doo safari 377??

• Add to quote

just wondering what the proper plugs are. im running br9es and dont think there hot enough. either that or my coils gone  

Try br8es's, i think they are the hotter plug, thats what i ran in my '80 citation ss this past winter. If your coils were gone you wouldnt have spark.  

BR9ES is the correct plug ... what is the engine doing to make you think the plugs are not hot enough?  

somtimes the plugs are perfect other times there really fouled and it only runs on one cylinder im think new coil because somtimes one is perfect the other is fouled. alot of people with this sled use br8es tho? im not sure  

To be honest, I have't looked at your other posts and threads so I don't know if you've cleaned your carbs, changed ignition wires or caps ... but that's the order I'd try before getting any deeper.  

most all sleds are BR9ES except for the SDI
