Not really much to do. You could get a carb sync. Plugs every 2nd season. Other than the first one, changing oil before 2500 miles and filter before 5000 miles is a waste because in the snow the dust and dirt are down.
Part of the beauty is you dont need to do much except enjoy your sled.
You could grease your skid every 500 miles, that wont hurt.

nothin really, only thing i have done to the engine is changed the plugs at 1900mi, changed oil at 500mi but other than that i havent done anything other than that

I did the carb sync myself and the idle is really smooth after I'm done. It was *really* easy and gave me some quality time with the sled. Valves need adjustment at 24k or something crazy.
I don't see this thing being any harder to work on then my motorcycle, which is to say pretty darn easy.

Even if you didn't change the oil, the engine will outlast the chassis. But be nice, change it and grease it. Thats it.

You could adjust the valves at 60,000 km or aprox 38,000 mi. Thats only if you had to.

Western Ny represented again , rode out of byrnecliff last nite trails are great!!!
The secondary clutch itself runs with no grease. I'd recommend a good cleaning on occassion and a light coating of grease on the jackshaft before sliding the clutch back on.

It says in the book to replace Drive chain oil every 3200km!
Is this necessary? Seems to me it should last longer than that.
