I still make the gussets. A 2008 kit is $95 shipped and you can order by sending payment to my PayPal account: grizztracks@roadrunner.com

I also offer frame straightening and installation if you're interested. I'm located in Scio, NY 14880

If you have power on the starter wire when you trun the key then the relay is working. Make sure the battery is good and battery, relay and starter connections are tight with no corrosion. If you have a volt meter read the battery voltage before and during a start attempt. If the battery voltage drops to 9-10 volts that would indicate the starter is receiving voltage but most likely the starter is bad.

I've seen a lot of bad starters lately. I'm sure the extreme cold has had something to do with it. I have Canadian friends from Niagara Falls area that I ride with several times a year up above Parry Sound. I'm suppose to be heading there Tuesday for a week of riding. I've had many Canadians bring there sleds to me for repairs so If you need some help on this you can bring it down. I'm south of Buffalo.

What is your location Ryan? It could be timing. Typically if the timing chain jumps a tooth or two the engine will have a difficult time idling but when the RPMs are increased seems to run OK. If it jumps time any more than that the pistons will hit the valves and engine damage will occur. If you want to check the engine timing the oil tank and valve cover needs to be removed so that you can see the timing marks.

These carb'd sleds are also notorious for having problems if stored for an extended length of time. In that case a good cleaning of the carbs may be all it needs.

I started taking it apart tonight. The tensioner is the original so it should be updated. I believe you're going to also need at the vary least a new starter and starter relay. I'll have the starter out and the stator cover off to inspect the gears tomorrow so I'll know more then. Once I have a parts list along with the cost for them I send you my PayPal email so you can transfer enough to cover them.

This Vector is amazingly clean and in good condition for a 2005.

Thanks for the update. I try to take care of it. It needs to last me a good long while.

A kit for a 2009 is $72 shipped. You can order by sending payment to my PayPal account: grizztracks@roadrunner.com

Done, thanks.

With the tunnel cooler it takes just a little over a gallon. Once I get that much in it I fill the reservoir just over half and then run it through a couple heat cycles. The air will work out and if needed the radiator will pull coolant from the reservoir. When running the heat cycles I do it with the cap on and after it cools i pull the cap to top of the radiator.

Ok I messed around with it for awhile the last couple nights and I have just over a gallon in there so i think I'm good now. I followed what the service manual said to do and I had no air coming out of the bleeders. I will run it through a couple heat cycles tonight and just check it. Thanks for the input.

I'm only doing frame straightening for locals. I like to have a complete sled to verify alignment before welding in the gussets. Also, shipping a frame is expensive, especially to Canada.

Okay thanks anyway

look at the subframe between the lower a-arms if there is a gusset with a circular hole then it's a 2009 or newer frame. If it doesn't have the gusset then it's a 2008. The 2008 frames require extra gussets to properly reinforce them so there is an additional cost for that kit ($120 shipped)

I don't have any frames. Usually the frame can be straightened by using a pry bar between the upper and lower a-arm out near the spindle. Once the shocks are close to center or at least both are equally spaced in the upper a-arm you can weld the gusset kit in so it doesn't move back.

A 2009 gusset kit shipped to Canada is $85 (USD). You can order by sending payment to my PayPal account: grizztracks@roadrunner.com
