I knew my 2006 Apex (almost 15,000 miles) was in need of some work:
it wouldn't idle decently and after reading posts on this site I knew it needed a valve adjustment
,
the track was worn out
and the exhaust donuts needed replacement, just to name the major items! The problem I had was that I didn't know of any place locally where I could get these major tasks done so I reached out to MrSled. He happened to have an opening in his schedule to work on my Apex. He went over and above in rehabbing it and finding many more things that needed repair that I was unaware, including a tiny pin-hole leak in the front heat exchanger
caused be a loose track stud, a broken y-pipe,
a crack in the silencer, a bulkhead crack, secondary buttons, a crack on the gauge pod and a small seat tear!
Not to mention: track replacement (and new shaft bearings and chain and greaser to the speedo bearing),
new slides, oil change, spark plugs, new copper donuts, replacement of some bogey bearings and carbides! Fabricated a new bracket for my "nitrous" button,
repaired some wiring, and fabbed a bracket for the headlight adjuster!
I can't thank him enough! He went above and beyond what was need to get this sled ready for the season. I can't wait for the first ride!
Thanks again MrSled!
