Well all done for the year with my first boosted sled!! Got 1500 miles and must say the sled worked great and took some of my fear that a boosted sled cant take a beating on a trail or in a iowa ditch away. This baby is reliable!
I had three small problems one was the stock fuel pump ran out of fuel and I was going lean so I installed a larger 255 lph one and it worked great till the stock 10 amp fuse blew and I didn't know there was a fuse located on the relay next to the battery box (different on my mpi kit) once I replaced that with a 20amp and unplugged the gems reset all the codes, plugged it back in Voila back in business and worked great! Got another 750 miles on since then.
Second issue started getting worse on last ride and that was a wandering idle, it hunts between 800-1800 rpm while tring to idle. I will figure that out over the summer. I noticed most of my vacumn hoses didn't have cable ties on them and one looked loose, I'm hopeful the problem is in one of them. Hopefully my last 'bad install' find from the previous owner.
Last issue was the AEM wideband O2 sensor burnt out at 1200 miles. I hope I get better life out of that!
Motor work was flawless by Ulmer! Thanks Allen!
SC belts never touched them or looked at them am I supposed to?
Clutch belt was used and went through the whole year even standing the sled on it tail multiple times having fun in some deep stuff
Oil didn't burn use/lose a drop after I rerouted the breather hose up by the bars, when I had it up near the front of the sled it would run down hill and I lost a tiny but but lubed my left side A-arm bushings LOL. Once rerouted I got over 500 miles and everything stayed clean, engine is tip top!
Sled start - Having some issues there its not working correctly but Kurt is helping me out on that.
ZX2 - Really cant say how much I appreciate this skid, makes you feel like pounding the sled and it just screams MORE. This skid is a real treat I'm lucky to be able to own one. It is due for hyfax this summer but I got over 3500 miles on the first set!
Slydog powder hounds - best ski so far with the exception of the C&A razors on the trail they are hard to beat but for a crossver the powderhounds on trail or off they work fantastic.
GYTR shocks - Love these things I run them full soft when the trails get junkie and they soak it up without bottoming, I run full stiff when the trails are flat and she corners awesome I just have to give a little bit of a lean and I can fly through them in a controlled fashion. Ditching banging I run a few clicks up from soft and they work great. I wanted to try Ohlins but just cant justify the cost as these work great.
RTX seat - MUCH better improvement and with all the sld has to offer I can't say this is my favorite mod but its darn close. I go 6' and 215 and the GT seat was too spongy and I found myself not being able to stand as easily, swapped with a local yamaha guy for the RTX seat and everythint was MUCH better. Seat is perfect for me.
If anbody is wondering if a boosted sled is suitable for the trails I must say YES a MPI supercharged sled is perfect for the trails.
Only drawback if you call it that is a mpg I get around 70 miles on a tank (same as a rev 800) and the light comes on I could probably sqeek 90 miles on a tank on fumes but never pushed it as I planned my gas fill ups. I may try to find a gas carrying solution this summer just to get me to 100 mile before the light comes on.
Thanks to everyone for help and support on this sled and my previous ones!! Just makes sledding all that much more enjoyable!
