between the rides maintenance

[krysFly]

In the off season, I do a lot of maintenance to my sled, however once i start riding, I just put gas and go
Is there anything you guys do in between rides during winter?

I grease the skid at least evey couple hundred miles.

i spray lube on all the ball joints after every ride, seems to make them last a longer. grease it every 500kms and keep it clean. wash it after every ride if it gets salt/sand on it and it will last longer.

I Like to use Fluid Film. You can get it at Chinese tire. (Canadian tire). Works very well and seems to hold up longer than other spray on lubes. I also like to grease the skid and inspect my clutches and belt after every ride or two. I normally give the whole sled a look over for loose parts and bolts. I have found my upper ball joints starting to loosen up a time or two. Spending a half hour looking over your sled in a nice warm garage sure beats the hell out of spending a few hours in a cold snow bank trying to fix a problem not to mention ruining a precious day of riding.

All great ideas, thanks.

I check my track tension and alignment weekly.....i run it pretty loose, so I'm always keeping an eye on it....grease my skid weekly.... nytro nork said it best, half and hour in a warm garage is way better than a break down on the side of the trail....
