Tip#1 If you roll your sled, do it in deep snow. Less damage that way (Pain too).
Make sure throttle cable wasn't damaged where it goes into throttle block, could lead to future rollings.

You and summitric have the same luck, first trip out on his 670 with the new paint and he rolls it on a bunny hill..there goes the matching windshield and he cracked the sides...well if your gonna have them you gotta ride them!!!
Sorry bout the new paint, it looked sweet.
So much for my new paint job, looked good in the garage :rant:

look over sled for damage, i "rolled" my sled means nothing really to us alot of guys roll there sleds to get it unstuck or i have "rolled" my sled down a highway at a little over 115 that lead to full damage of belly pan, hood, bumper, carbide/skis, track, rear bumper, handle bars, throttle brake and so on.

anyway look it over as stated above check handle bars, throttle, brake and steering linkages and then carry on.

cheers

One thing I check for is air in the oil injection line from the tank to the pump. If the sled has been upside down for a period of time the oil may have drained from the line :eek:. I know this is hard to check for on many sleds, but I have seen this happen. If you can bleed the air out thats great,, if you cant I would let the sled idle and pull the oil cable tight so it pumps to its maximum until the air is gone.
