Well tackled my first oil change in a 4 stroke sled, the directions in the book were very clear and with a little time and some beverages its complete. The only thing people might want to check is the gas tank vent. Mine ran to the bottom of the sled and when I removed the access panel on the bottom there was a layer of ice and my gas tank vent stuck in that ice. It makes sense now when I would fill up the sled every once in a while that the tank would have such a strong vaccum.
While I had the hood off I checked fasteners and lines and had to tighten the front rad lines but otherwise everything seems good. I had to really tighten the throttle cable but otherwise I LOVE THIS SLED. Everything about this sled rocks from the power, handling, ride and headlights.
Once it warms up a bit plan on putting on some serious miles ....
The longer I drive this sled the more I love it and the faster it seems to be.
Other than I wish my spring check goodies would arrive already happy with the purchase and the change from doo to YAMAHA
