I just completed spring maintenance on my SW and put the sled away ready to ride next winter. Feels good to have it all done.
I had most of the sled dismantled to check bearings, bushings, hoses, clamps, wiring ect ect.
I was amazed at how good every thing looked and never found anything that really needed immediate replacement.
As well as normal maintenance I did some upgrades some of them that I had been putting off for the last few years.
-BOP auxilary rad/fan kit
-Dasa racing billet water pump impellar
-adjustable fuel pressure regulator
-DMC top gear bushing
-2022+ updated drive shaft installed with both BOP shaft saver and bearing
-PEFI chain case adjuster
-ect ect

Nice work! I started last weekend with my groups sleds. Dropped suspensions and removed front shocks from 6 sleds. My shocks from the Sidewinder and Viper are in Cannondales hands currently for service. Then removed a bad heat exchanger out of my nephews 14 Viper. So it's a start!

Dropped shocks off at rebuilder last night. He's four weeks out! Normally two.
I've gotten most of my jobs done, split the caliper and got all the nasty disgusting crud out. Spent the 20 mins bleeding the caliper and then decided I may want to check the drive shaft bearing.
One roller had some rust on it. Awesome. Have to pull all that stuff out again and pull the bearing. 5700 miles and replacing it with an skf.

What kind of instructions did the water pump impeller come with (I'd be curious about getting a copy to see what the job entailed)?
Looks good Bob! Definitely getting me in the mood to start turning wrenches and tackling the bigger projects I have in mind for my SideWinder!
The impeller did not come with any instructions. I searched on the forum and found some good tips on the steps required.
for example:
Water pump failure
2017 LTX LE - out at the lake Sunday, did some easy miles to break in a new belt. Did a few pulls on the lake, and immediately after getting off the gas on my last pull the engine temps went through the roof. I let it cool down for 20 or so and then tried to get it back to the cabin but no luck...
