[cbc24]

Hey guys I decided Ill do a little build thread!
So purchased a 2012 assault 800 155 back in fall of 2012:

Next day I got the white skis, wrapped my headlight, shorty windsheild and ordered my ggb can.

Uhoh hit first rock had to buy another set of aarms

Next was a little tiny tree

as it sat the rest of that yr

oh and some action shots

Another from spring of 2013.


Then fast forward to fall and end of 2013.
Bent the stock rails

Those lasted me 3 weeks

Then got these

Also ended up swapping the track 3 times, tried 5.1 with the fbomb mod, 5.1 brand new, back to assault etc. About 2 weeks after I bent the rails I bent these again:

SO I had some fun spending coin on 43'' zbroz aarms

also did mod rods running boards.

And finally to this year starting 0ct of 2014
well found my rear shocks were blown all of last year so, upgraded to some foxy ones, with new scratchers, welde dup the cracked aarms and installed a new windsheild:

And decided to check my top end out after 1500 miles, and because It was a gutlless turd all of previous season.

So off to the dealer we go:

My warranty was due to expire 5 days after I went, thank god Gaudins honda of beaverlodge pulled through and covered the engine. They ended up just doing the pistons, jugs and reeds. I picked it up Saturday at 10:30 am

I knew the crank seals were leaky and I didnt trust the techs work on a top end bc its foolish to not completely tear down when rebuilding. So here is my progress this weekend:

I caved and purchased the rk tech cyl head & piston kit. Upon tear down though the updated pistons seem pretty good, I think the new forged ones are better than the cast Wossegner ones ive installed. Good thing I did rebuild it though, the mag side crank seal was leaking good. Have it installed in the machine just have to set the spark plug gap to .019" mix some fresh fuel. Lets see how long it last using just the polaris blue as I find the premium is too light and washes off easier.

One last few action shots to cap off the night:

So here is an update! We went to revy dec 10-16th. First day blew a coolant hose and almost cooked my sled, Day two 8 km up the trail ...classic case of I fought the rock and well the fcking thing one.

So I rode a 14 summit xm 163 which was a friends spare sled! Loved it in the snow hated it on trail or jumps:

Noticed how the doo was very controlable with the throttle. Once I got it figured it was a blast. Way more power and so natural to ride.

Since then I got my aarm and installed c&a BX skis. World of difference and way more bite! Love them!

Went for a ride today in -26C, with my rooster weights I added another two grams to the heel and so 7g heel 3g center and 2g toe. Works alotbetter at 2800 ft with a 21T drive sprocket. Have to gear it down for snow days, but on hard I get alot more speed.

Now some action shots ive taken from revy and valemount.
