Watch Out For.......

Keep a close eye on your Rear Skid Shock! We had a couple shock caps, unscrew from the shock barrels over the Weekend! Both were on 2012 Pro 800's!

Good way to screw up a ride. That's gotta suck.

Unfortunate that happened. How many miles on the sleds now Diggerz? When was the last time that the shocks were inspected?

I guess my point is that perhaps checking the shocks should be a good routine maintenance item for everyone on any sled of any make.

These Sleds had 1800 km's and 2800 km's on the other. The sleds get a Pre and Post trip inspection every day they go out, and a weekly re-torque on all front and rear suspension bolts. The spring pre-load adjusting nuts on the shocks are also backing off, a lock nut should be added.

Covered by Warranty, amazing!

Congrats Digger. I wonder how many brands would cover that.

My 2011 pro did the same thing with 1850 miles and totaly screwed the shock also bent the tunnel just a little bit with all the bottoming out coming down the ungroomed trail.
So just be cautious of this guys.
