Just picked up this used sled with 10k kilometers. When I looked over it I dididi even notice the hairline cracks on the skid rails.
Could get new rails but probably a reason why they cracked in the first place - suspension issues?

Ah man, that sucks. Mine were cracked at the exact same place but worse.

Check all your suspension parts and arms. Don't bother with welding. I wound up getting a whole used skid.

You're in luck, there's a guy in Barrie that has lots of Yamaha parts that doesn't ship.

thanks mooseman i'll try and get in touch with him
in the meantime struggling to figure out the skid removal process for the 2000 venture. Seems like this skid bolt is very awkwardly placed right at the tunnel so it would be impossible to fit a socket over it
Then on the other hand I just need to find a way to remove the metal brace bar connected to the limiter strap to get the cracked area exposed enough to weld.... maybe with a sled on a stand it'll relieve the tension from the front skid shock?

What year is your sled? I thought we were talking about an 07+ four stroke Venture MP/Lite. You do realize this forum is for newer four stroke sleds?

Fair enough. It's a 2000 venture triple. Posted up on that forum as well.
