Optionally, the following can be added to the snowmobile package: electric starter; separate lubrication system (helps increase reliability and reduce oil consumption and harmful emissions); another fuel system (helps increase the rated output power to 38.98 kilowatts or 53 horsepower); as well as a more powerful and improved power unit (has new intake and exhaust systems).

The manufacturer has achieved increased stability and maneuverability by choosing the optimal ski track width (960 millimeters). As a result of this, the car is able to maintain these qualities even when cornering at very high speeds. A high level of depreciation and smooth running of this model were achieved thanks to the track slide suspension and telescopic front suspension.

User manual

Each RM “Taiga” snowmobile has a detailed user manual. If the printed version is lost, the owner can easily find the manual on the Internet on the website of the official manufacturer.

Break-in recommendations

This snowmobile began to be produced relatively recently. The truck immediately caught the attention of users and received many positive reviews from owners. Despite the fact that the new Patrol 800 model has already appeared, this all-terrain vehicle is still being produced, since it has good driving and traction qualities combined with a fairly affordable price.

This truck can be purchased on the website of the official manufacturer by pre-order. In order for a new all-terrain vehicle to serve properly for many years, it must be maintained. An important part of operating a new snowmobile is the break-in period. In accordance with the attached technical documentation, for the Patrol snowmobile this period is the first 300 km of run.

Throughout the break-in period, the manufacturer recommends following the following rules:

• Do not load the snowmobile: ride without a passenger or a cargo trailer.
• Choose flat areas, avoid wet and deep snow.
• Do not travel at temperatures above minus 3 and below minus 25 degrees.
• Monitor the thermal regime. Do not allow the throttle valve to open fully.

After the first 150 km, the alignment and chain tension should be checked.

Maintenance

In order for the engine, as well as the main units and components to function properly for a long time, it is necessary to perform timely maintenance. The first comprehensive maintenance must be carried out immediately after the end of the running-in period.

Further maintenance of the track is carried out every 2500 - 3000 km, as well as during commissioning after long-term storage. In the user manual, the owner will find step-by-step instructions for servicing all main components and assemblies.

In addition to routine and seasonal maintenance, every owner should perform daily maintenance on their snowmobile. The manufacturer offers a number of mandatory operations that must be performed before each departure:

• checking the serviceability of the brake system, engine operation and steering;
• checking the condition of the caterpillar track and skis, the reliability of the fastenings;
• inspection of traction fastening;
• checking fuel, engine oil and brake fluid levels.

After returning to the garage, you should immediately clean the all-terrain vehicle from snow and dirt, and remove all moisture from the surface.

Owner reviews

• I consider the Taiga ST-500D snowmobile to be a very popular model among domestic snowmobiles. The car exceeded all expectations in terms of cross-country ability and stability. Easily overcomes slopes covered with loose snow. For him, this is a completely solvable task, since it is equipped with a powerful running system. One cannot help but notice the instrument panel, with the help of which the snowmobile driver can easily monitor the condition of the equipment. The chassis also has its own characteristics, in which the rear shock absorbers are located horizontally. Thanks to them, comfort and softness when moving are ensured. In the event of a breakdown, it is very easy to get to any part, which makes it easy and efficient to fix problems. I have been using this snowmobile for a very long time and have no regrets at all.
• The long-awaited snow has finally fallen. The next weekend it was decided to go to the ski resort with the whole family. The Taiga ST-500D snowmobile, which was chosen by my husband as a means of transportation, made everyone very happy. The two-seater snowmobile turned out to be very stable on sharp turns, there were practically no skids. Two skids ensured the stability of the vehicle along the entire route. The speed, which reaches up to 60 kilometers per hour, made it possible, as they say, to ride with the breeze. The ride through the snowy forest lasted for the whole day. Everyone was delighted with this walk. In my opinion, this model is very successful.

How to choose a snowmobile for hunting and fishing?

Let us note that today buyers have a unique opportunity to purchase a snowmobile of any brand and configuration. Utilitarian models are designed specifically for hunters and fishermen who love active winter recreation. Before you buy a snowmobile, you need to remember some rules for choosing them:

1. Patency. In reliable models, the track must be at least 500 mm wide. This width is a guarantee that the snowmobile can easily cope with drifts of loose snow. The optimal ratio of weight and design features ensures that movement through bushy areas or low forest will be comfortable. In this regard, the Taiga Patrol 550 SWT model attracts attention precisely with its track width of 600 mm. The maneuverability of the equipment depends on the ski suspension - it’s good if it’s telescopic.
2. Reliability. If a snowmobile has a weak engine and the suspension is of poor quality, then it is unlikely to be suitable for use. Only a reliable engine guarantees that hunting will be fast and safe.
3. Availability of luggage compartment. If you choose a hunting snowmobile, pay attention to the availability of luggage compartments. The more there are, the better. This is exactly the kind of trunk the Taiga Patrol 550 SWT snowmobile has.
