I have the same sled. The biggest thing to check is the driveshaft. You need to look closely at the left side (brake side) on the inside of the tunnel. If you can loosen up the track even better and then see if there is play. The bearing spins on the driveshaft and ruins it. This gets...

Both of your clutches probably need to be serviced as well.

Peer is the import line of SKF so yes they are made in China but at an SKF owned factory. Peer is a very popular choice for OEM's because they are part of SKF which is a premium brand. I have never had an issue with their quality so if you want to save some money go with the cat bearing. NSK...

I happen to work at Motion and yes that is the price for someone off the street. I am not sure what brand comes in it from the factory but Country Cat sells them for $25.91 cat part number 2602-198

Well I tested the coolant and it appears there is exhaust getting into it. Is there any way to know if it is a cracked head/block versus a blown head gasket? If it is a head gasket I assume the motor has to be pulled to have it replaced can anyone confirm that? Seems like it could get...

As far as I know. Kind of hard to tell when you are riding it but if you are idling and it gets hot yes it will turn on.

Going to pick up a combustion leak detector from Napa tonight and see if there is any exhaust gas in the coolant. Part #: BK 7001006

I guess that is possible, are you thinking that exhaust is getting into the coolant? How would I diagnose that problem a leak down test?

I am having issues with my sled running hot and sometimes overheating. I last year I put a hole in my front heat exchanger from a stud and had to drain the system completely , have it welded up, and refill. This all happened in the spring and I never rode it until now. The first day I rode it...

Pat's is the best dealer I have ever been to, they will take care of you. I agree with InRBigness you need to address the rear skid. I have seen several ruined tracks from broken skid parts over the years. Those guys were lucky and it didn't happen at speed but it did ruin a very expensive track.

Lift up the back of the sled up high. Release the spring tension by unbolting the mounting bracket behind the front idler wheel. The blocks have a retainer clip holding them on. Use a screwdriver to work it off. The new blocks just slide on and the clip pushes back on, you can use a socket...

I struggled with bleeding the brakes for 2 hours one night and after a lot of reading on this forum went and bought a vacuum bleeder at harbor freight. I have done several now and it is very simple and works every time. The one exception was the last time I did it on a friends sled I couldn't...

I have the cat setup which works really nice, it is a seat, backrest, new bumper (seat mounts to this), and heated hand grips. The only drawback is the cost it runs almost 1K all said and done. My only complaint is that it requires bolts to mount it and my cover doesn't fit with it on so...

I am 200 pounds and I trail ride with my kid at around 100 pounds on a 2 up seat on my 14 RTX and have not had any issues with the stock springs on the second position of the adjustment block. I have ridden on the lake with my wife at around 150 pounds and it felt fine. I have the upgraded 4...

Replacing the drive shaft on a sidewinder right now and one of the drivers was stubborn and got deformed while pressing it off. I have a set of used drivers off a viper but they have a different part number on them and look slightly different. They are the same pitch track and tooth count and...

Just thought I would share that another one is out of spec way too early. I am at 6500 miles and have been having issues with backfires on and off for the last three seasons. The dealer looked at it two times under warranty and could not find anything wrong. I had the gas tank off to fix a...

mine look the same and have since I bought it with only 700 miles. I am now at 6500 miles and they have not changed. Since they were like that from new to me I thought it was part of the design.

I have to imagine it goes on the tunnel side so you are pushing the grease in towards the brake rotor, that seems like a problem to me. Or is there a relief built into it so the old grease purges somewhere else?

Have a guy coming to weld it up Thursday. Is there any tips on bleeding the cooling system or is the bottle high enough you can just fill it up and the air comes out on its own?

I lost a stud and it damaged my front cooler. Wondering if anyone has taken it out or should I leave it in the sled and get it welded up. I'm guessing taking it out is a large job. Also does anyone know a place that could do the welding in the Minneapolis area?
