Be sure and check the drive shafts bearing. Might be worth replacing it no matter what. You will already have it apart. The bill was $1157 with tax. Local shop rate is around $100/hour so it doesn't take long to add up.

Update: I can't believe I didn't update you guys right away. Apparently when I rolled over, I bent my Powermadd hand guard bracket down into the brake lever. I held the brake on slightly so I didn't notice a lack of acceleration. This ended up getting the brakes so hot that I had to replace the...

I am trying to get another season out of my sled deck, but the plywood is faacked. Does anybody know where to find that composite sheeting that Full Lotus uses on their decks? If I am going to spend the time to fix it up, I don't want to just use plywood. If anybody could steer me in the right...

Time to do the reeds in my 2012 X 800. Any suggestions on what to run? V-Force? Boysen? Stock? I need some opinions! I was also going to do some clutch work. I was talking with Dean from Mad Motor sports on his setup. Anybody else run his stuff? I made such a PITA of myself early in the season...

I have 2011 bought in September of 2010. 125,000kms so far. Towing 30' travel trailer and dump trailer with skid steer. The truck has held up to everything I could throw at it so far. With empty sled deck I average 12.6L/100km at 120km/hr. Fully loaded at the same average speed economy falls...

My dog's favorite thing in the world is to go for a ride in the back of the truck. Tied in, of course. This topic is a perfect example of people not being able to mind their own business. The only thing worse than living in our current nanny state is having other citizens telling is what to...

Thanks guys. I've tried everything I can out here. It's going to have to go in to the dealer when I get home. Another set of days off without a sled! Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

Thank you for the tip Maxwell. Any idea where I could find the procedure for bleeding the brakes? I'm stuck out in the bush and I don't have access to a shop manual, but I do have the internet.

Yesterday I to roll my 2012 XP over to get it out of a trench that I dug for myself. When I got back on the trail and up to 40mph I realized that I had no brakes. Absolutely zero resistance on the lever. I popped the top on the brake reservoir and had a look. It was pretty much full. The line...

Took my new to me 2012 800 etec out for a first ride last night. At 3700' and -1 the clutching seems weird. From a stop if I grab the throttle the rim comes up to 7900 then falls off to 7500. Let go of the flipper and grab it again and all I get is 7400 to 7500. Clickers on 3. 250 lb rider and...

Hey guys! I was going to mosey out from Prince George this weekend with a friend of mine. We have never been to McBride, so I have a few questions. For a couple novice/intermediate riders, which of the three areas is our best bet? Where can we find trail maps? Where do we purchase trail passes...

Solved the problem! Sold it and bought a 2012 163 X!

I may have an opportunity for a deal on a Team Tied set-up for my 2012 Etec 163. What do you guys think? I had a Team TSS-04 on my 2008 and I absolutely loved it. Crisp back shift, and being able to rip your secondary off in 30 seconds was awesome. I haven't even ridden the sled yet so I'm...

Haha thought it was sold for $6000, but the fellow wanted to pay me $1000 at a time. Anybody need an 08? $5500... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
