I'm in the market for a newer sled and went to look at a 2008 RMK600.
After checking it over, there are a lot of ???? on the condition.
Here are a few things I found:
900 miles (I think the clock was around 50 hrs)
Engine has 128psi compression, seems to run fine.
155 track has a few broken lugs
Both skis are garbage. Runners were gone and plastic worn right through. (not even sure how you can do that).
Left side panel was damaged (wouldn't line up).
Both left side A-arms were new.
Light damage around the tin where the panel would clip to.
Plus it's terribly dirty.
First thought was to walk away, but if it just needs a cleaning and some cosmetic repairs, I might consider.
The thing i was scared of is frame damage. I did not find any ripples, new welds, bent alum, etc.
This was only visible from underneath, cause under the hood is so full, ya can't even see the frame.
So if the sled did get damaged on front suspension, what do I need to look for or where would the damage show up??? Is there a specific place for the first signs of damage?
Any pointers, info is appreciated.
