Couple QUESTIONS FOR YOU GUYS........

[S pump]

Yah, I'm pretty stoked about having the warranty. I really have a good dealer too. New England Cycle in Hartfort, Ct. Sean has always taken pretty good care of me when it comes time for warranty work..............I probably have had 5 suspensions put in various sleds in the last ten years and never a question asked. I think Yamaha uses my sled as a test mule.................won't be long now boys.

Sucks for you but at least you had the warrenty and they covered it. Thanks letting us know how it turned out!

Yah, I guess I just wanted to tell the end of the story for anyone else who may have the same issues. Seems for 6k they coulda dropped a new motor, exhaust and skid in. I guess thats how the dealers stay in business...............Anyone have a Ripsaw for sale?

We just had our club grassdrags, and the first thing we did was regrease the pto side driven pulley bearing, and the axle bearing (with a needle). Virtually clean grease came out, as it's so easy to do, we do it during the winter too. Last year I changed a track on my old 03 rx1 for the new owner, and I put a new bearing on, but the old one felt like new...who knows how long they can last if you grease them regularly.

S-Pump,

Did they happen to replace your aluminum suspension rails? Sorta sounds that way.

No, they were fine but I did find a small crack in the suspension arm that they should have addressed when they put a new Ohlins in. I'll get it welded and move on.

Carefully pop the seal off. It snaps right back on when you're done
