I’m sure it’s not the norm. Started getting low oil pressure light after runs of wide-open throttle. Took it in. They went right through it. It told me it was fine. Changed oil pressure sending unit. Then I went to Cadomin for two days, did 250 km. On the last day, about 2 miles from town Rod knock started. Motor is easily available and on its way. $9000 thank God for Warranty. I’ve never blown a motor on an ATV since the 90s
I change all oil spring and fall whether I ride it or not. 🤷‍♂️

Ah yeah. The 131 bad luck thread. 😁 6000 rip ems in 4th and blew the primary chain. I’m still paranoid if I pass cars when it’s tight and with speed. That was almost a life-changing experience with the chain, locking up intermittently. Ride fast take chances. 👍🏼

Nice! I put some new rollers in the secondary on my defender yesterday.
Heard all these horror stories about how sh*tty factory ones were. Pulled the original ones out and like new!

I did the same a month ago. (with over 6000 km) The claimed shitty factory rollers are just getting damaged at the factory, so if they last the first year they will probably last forever.

Added an inferno heater to my Maverick Sport over the Christmas break. Nice having warm tootsies and a clear windshield playing in the snow.
