Hey another newby question.... Advice on buying used sleds

[georgef]

Any advice on purchasing a used sled would be appreciated from making sure it is not stolen + leins. To actually checking the sled over to make sure it is in good mechanical condition.
Cheers,

Enjoy the camaraderie and the banter.

PS There is a thread on "snowmobile Chat" that addresses just that issue regarding registration and vin numbers, etc..

With regards to the mechanical aspects of a machine look for straightness throughout the tunnel, motor area (supports in and around the motor) and the front end, compression test, crank runout, clutch work that has been done. How clean is the sled indicating how well it was looked after.

Other fine peeps will chime in and give you a few more pointers as more and more peeps see your request.
