| Re: Who all has broken down sleds? About a week before christmas and our revy trip I took a piston out of my RT. The sled was only 12 days off of warranty! We talked to Ski-Doo, and their willing to pick up all the parts. We just have to pay for labour. Luckily I didn't sell my old sled, I still was able to go on our trip. But my engine is being rebuilt right now and should be ready in a couple weeks.

| Re: Who all has broken down sleds? My Brother aka Sledbender (I'm trying to get him to change his name on here but he doesn't seem to like the handle, even though it fits!) he broke his trailing arm and pushed the post back which bent his foot rail and it started dumping coolant. This was the week before Christmas and he just parked it the garage and has yet to fix it... I have a buddy that is going to fix it in exchange for a cheap roof job next summer though. We should have a vote to decide if he should change his name in the forum! |

| Re: Who all has broken down sleds? I had started a post "Puddle of gas and oil" I was lake running on New Years eve and sled started sputtering, limped it back to shop and checked on it a few hrs later and was a Puddle of gas and oil under it. Just got back to it today and started tearing it down, Exhaust pipe was full of gas so pulled off the head and everything there looked OK, pulled off the carbs and slides were ok, pulled off jugs and crankcase was also full of gas but no damage that is visable. That's as far as I got today. Does this sound familiar to anyone...Help!!

| Re: Who all has broken down sleds? No, pistons and jugs are in fantastic shape considering the mileage on the sled.

| Re: Who all has broken down sleds? My first break down was a double whammy... I had a '98 Zr 600 that I had bought new in '98. On a trip up tp Calling Lake in 2002 with about 4200 trouble free miles on my sled I had hit some bad luck. I landed on a stump buried under about 2 1/2 feet of powder after launching off a roller on a rough cutline. The stump hit right under the driven clutch and punched the bellypan into the clutch. The clutch sheves had burned two stripes into the bellypan plastic! After some minor trail side surgery and about 30 miles of vibration the driven clutch broke into two pieces. The very next ride out at Buck Lake south, after putting a new clutch on the sled, the PTO side crank bearing calved. There I was on the end of a rope on the way back to the truck & trailer. I was warned that after hitting the stump and the impact that the clutch took my crank could go.... well thats what happened. Rebuilt the bottem end, rode it for another 1100 miles and sold it in 2004 for $2200.00 less then I bought it new in '98. Not too bad.  Always sucks to breakdown on the trail or in the hills... kills a good time for you and sometimes the guys your riding with.
