Could be from the old gas . Did he warm it up before riding it hard? \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\could have cold siezed it. Hard to tell what it needs with out tearing it down. New pistons and jugs i would assume !!! Good luck !
My buddy Ted smashing a windblown bump. LOL it was 5 feet tall and curled back like a wave !! I should know better and warn him. I saw it but he never and he was going BIG LOL !!

My neighbor called me today to see if i knew where to get a DD . His gear set is piled up. Said ti just went bang and was done. Also said reverse slipped on occasion previously. Sounds like it just needs gears but.... it is an 07 with the small bearing. Anyone have a deal on a DD or gears??? Or...
LOL ouch. Wasn,t a creek but i got one similar yesterday. Tekvest on but needed a chin guard LOL !!! Sled came back up and wallopped my knees and took the handlebars in the chin. Hate them sneak attacks of the snow snakes !!
Premium has no ethanol, or oxygenation agents in it . So the sled will in essence run leaner on regular . Is what i understand BUT,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I run premium and some Klotz always. Ran 87 once and my sled ran like crap Dunno why !!! CHeck and clean your APV,s really good i would say. At higher...
BRP needs to step up and issue a fix IMO. That being said , if the bars are tapered i would find some kinda clamp or spacer to stop the strap from sliding up on the bar and coming loose. Not sure what the handle bars look like but i assume this can be done??
Poor guy i can see this happening...
Adding a Powercommander V is another good thing to do. My buddy has one on his and just put the Fix on. His pistons were in tough shape already. Just 400 miles on them. So far his sled is way better !!! Seems the thing to do on them !!!
Pretty tough to say with out seiing the sleds LOL. If the 900 has reverse you will need to get rid of it. That reverse system was not a good system. Had a bad habit of skipping then Bang good bye chain. Overall the 1M 900 was a good sled in it,s day. IMO worth $4000.00 max , that for a clean low...
