I have a new to me 09 MTX 153 that I just started to play around with. It is stock. In the few miles that I have put on it putting around with the family, I noticed a pretty good vibration in it. I finally had some time to look at it a bit and checked the bearings and shafts and everything looks OK. I pulled the chaincase apart and the drive shaft bolt is still OK as well. I did notice that the limiter straps are let out quite a ways. They are very slack when the sled is sitting on a concrete floor. Also, the rail caps are beat to heck, so I am guessing that is where the vibration is coming from. Anyone else run into this? Is it a track tension issue? Should I tighten up the limiter straps? The steering effort right now is pretty light.
