Looking for a seat or seat cover and a front spring for Sno
I am new to this forum and I am looking for some parts:
I recently purchased a Sno Scoot and it has a slight list to one side. As I look at it, it looks like I need the front spring that goes from one ski to the other ski (kind of like a "leaf" spring). I haven't actually taken it apart, but I looked at it pretty closely. Any differences in opinion?
It also has several rips in the seat so I am looking for a new seat or seat cover. I have found a new one from Yamaha, but it was $168, and I'm not feeling good about that price. I have also seen aftermarket ones, but I'd like it to say Yamaha on it. Any other suggestions?
Also, it looks like there were storage covers listed on this site at one time but they sold out. Any ideas?
I am located in MN.
Thanks,
Paul

Is Scoot really leaning or is the track cover hanging down on one side? If front spring bad....they usually break in two pieces. If cover is hanging, the rivets are probably broke and or missing. You can put new 3/16" aluminum rivets in fairly easy. You may need to drill out old rivet in frame. Tip Scoot on side and and you can get in to drill and rerivet as needed. The cover, if you want inexpensive, the Yammy Phazer (pogo stick) style will work or buy universal fits all for around $30-$50. Seat cover......I believe Bullhead has them.

Leaning
Actually when you look at it from the front it is leaning to the right. The spring looks like it is bent, weird. I am going to have to take it apart to tell for sure.
Thanks for the info on the cover, and I will look up Bullhead for the seat cover.

Still Looking for the Front Spring.
I have received several leads on the front leaf spring, but none of them have panned out. Any help locating one would be greatly appreciated.

scoot spring
paul if you have the means to get a little crafty you can ditch the spring a make a set up like the sport, two rear spring/shocks off a little hond ct 70 fit just like a sport, cut off spring plate on lower controll arms, drill 3/8 hole throug middle for lower shock bolt & weld two tabs up top for mount ,wahla sport font suspention on scoot, i did it ,works mint, 13 in. just like sport, toe out skis a bit from taller ride height & better ski pressure under throttle, maybe pics someday. eddie mac

That sounds interesting.
Emacauto-If you could post or email me some pictures, that would help me understand it a little better.
I am still hoping to just get a new/different spring, but in the event I can't
I would entertain making this modification.
Please post pictures here, or email me
