It gets pretty expensive to even start at entry level performance snowmachines, I worked on two of them last winter, mucho money invested, and you have to have very unique specialized skills to work on them. You do NOT just start wrenching away at these new machines, very high tech.
And I say that as I have developed into being a motorcycle restoration specialist recently from being a heavy equipment mechanic. MC mechanics get twice the wages if they know their stuff, and seasonally a snowmachine mechanic can earn a good living if they are independent.
Good to know. Thx!
