Gonna try to cover all this in one post. Hope I don't confuse anyone.
08 Vec LTX:
Bought at the end of the season. Only put 300 miles on it. I have not started it up since it was put in the garage. (Stabil of course.) How should I handle the rest of break in reference to the oil change; change it now and again at 500, or ride it the 200 then change it?
Also, very new to the monoshock susp. Any 'general' guideline on setup as far as when I hit the deeper stuff? I got it to ride pretty good trailwise, but I know things are different in the powder. Any tips would be nice.
05 Vec ER:
Lotsa work this fall. Replaced the junk oil tank, replaced the mounting piece for the snowflap (bent so many times it was breaking), replaced the skid for an RTX one;
1. Same situation as the LTX. My brother will be riding and I wonder if anyone in the 200 pound weight class can give mt some preliminary settings for the shocks and what not. He will ride it basically on groomed trails, and trails slightly whooped out at the end of the day.
2. Clutches have never been off the machine. I clean the sheaves periodically with a green pad, and blow out the primary with compressed air occasionally. What, after being run 5k miles should I definately do? Don't want to lewave bro high and dry. (Had the 'rattle update' done in 06.)
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. I got the oil tank and the skid from this site, and an untold amount of tech help. TY is without a doubt the most valuable resource I have for my sleds.
Thanks
Moe
