Moto-Ski Capri 399 Snowmobile (1971-1972)

The Moto-Ski Capri, a popular two-passenger snowmobile, was produced for the 1971 and 1972 model years. It offered various engine options, including Hirth and JLO units ranging from 292cc to 435cc, with horsepower outputs from 19 to 33 hp.

The 1972 model year introduced several notable changes. The cowling generally switched from fiberglass to plastic, though some 292cc models retained fiberglass, and the design featured deleted side scoops and different decals. Engine shrouding became standard, and the seat was predominantly all black. The fuel tank pickup was moved forward and upward to address leak issues. The backrest was redesigned to black plastic, and a new drum brake system was introduced on some models. Instrumentation featured larger speedometers and tachometers with orange needles. Front bumpers were wider and integrated into the hood hinge, except for certain 292cc and 338cc Hirth models which carried over 1971 components. Early 1972 292cc Capris largely mirrored 1971 designs.
