Summer Project Questions

[WillowAce]

I tried to get out of the sport, but found I simply couldn't do it so I picked up a used 2015 Viper L-TX late this season. It has 5,600 miles on it and I'm not sure of the level of maintenance the previous owner performed. With the price increase of 2023 sleds I want to run this one until it dies, if the 1049 actually dies when maintained properly. Although I've owned more than a couple Vipers I've never kept one more than a couple years so I've never done advanced maintenance. With-that-said, one of my summer projects is to tear it down and make sure all if the preventative maintenance is done before next season. My question is this; what should be on an comprehensive checklist off things that I should check for tolerance or replace? Thank you in advance.

I'd replace the jackshaft bearings and inspect everything in the chaincase.
Just had one here I fixed that the upper bearing had failed in the chaincase. Things get expensive fast.

I just installed a kit from Rocztoyz called a Grease-it. It replaces the bearing on the driveshaft and makes it greasable. Its a pretty slick kit and considering how much work is involved in accessing that bearing It saves a lot of work down the road. It comes with a plate, bolts, and a drive to press the bearing out, and press the new one in. I was able to use that plate to pull my caliper off the shaft. It was stuck on there pretty tight.
