First ride on the 2011 MTX

Hi guys! Happy new year!!!
Thanks for the comments:)

As for snow depths they can vary alot where I ride, some years can be good and some years we only have a couple of days with deep powder.

My new year sucks so far, I have the worst flew I`ve ever had, freakin fever and now it`s snowing like never before, infact it has been snowing since last year ;-)

So my friends are going riding tomorrow but I gotta stay in bed.. so thats great.

Gees I`m such a winer, lol.

Oh did I mention that its snowing like #$% outside??

Although there is some good news, the goldfinger has arrived and the oft relocator and tether switch is just around the corner.

Rich has also shipped the new rear bumper, ice scratchers and the cover. The new front bumper was on backorder so it will still be a while before I see it.

Wellwell :)
 
Hi guys!

On Sunday I fitted the OFT Relocator , OFT Tether switch with the rollover valve and the Goldfinger lefthand throttle, it took 3 hours so I must say it was an easy job.

As for the relocation of the throttle cable the instructions said to loosen the handlebar riser to slide the cable under the handleriser, I couldnt understand why the instructions said to do it this way cause all I did was to loosen the throttle flipper and split the "cases" for the flipper, then pulled the cable out of it and rerouted it were it was suppost to be and reattached it to the flipper and put the "cases" together, easy!!

The "hardest" part was the adjustment of the steering rod, but I took the sled for a testride and the handlebar was 100% straight, great! :-)

Cant wait to take the sled for a real testride, hope I will be satisfied:)

Wellwell will keep you posted!
 
OK great :-)

Yesterday I checked the engine and chaincase oil just out of routine.
The level was low in the chaincase so I added some oil, actually more then I expected.

Today when I came down in the garage there was an oilspot under my sled, I removed the plastic shrouds to inspect if there was a leak and where it maybe leaked from.

Something have hit the drainplug and made a crack in the cover making the oil leak out. "#¤%"#¤%"#¤%"#¤%#"

The only incident I`ve had involving rocks etc. was on my second ride, when I rolled the sled. I figure it must have happened at that time cause I havent hit anything else.

But if that is the case I have been riding about 180km with little or no oil in the chaincase.

The cover has to be replaced and I`m also going to change the bearings in the cover, question is wether the chain and sprockets needs replacement? Guess I will find out when I take it apart.

Going to call my dealer and ask if it is possible to get it on warranty, probably not but worth a shot.

As for the Nytro I`m waiting on a new chain, upper sprocket, reverse sprocket, allballs driveshaft and jackshaft bearing kit and the new style rearbumper:-)

It now has 350km on the clocks, I like it more and more.

Wish I was in the advance mode but fourstrokes rule!! ;-)
