Ok Trying to help out a buddy here who bought sled last week and had to go work for a straight two week rig shift. he has Christmas off and wants to ride! I spent 7 hours till 2 am tearing it down last night to see what parts needed. The sled has a cracked hood going to have body shop take care of that. But bumper and the crap that holds it not in good shape. I may try and repair what i can but any ideas would help. Torque stop in pto side was half gone picked up new one one front left shock total pooched any sugestions for good second hand replacements I measured and they are 17 inches eye to eye. Oil inf cable jacket pulled from crimp I was going to glue it but bought the $36 replacement. Check exhaust valves and good bought replacement gaskets. pulled ex manifold and pots and pistons look good best i can see anyway. throttle bodies about as dirty as your worst nightmare. I needs to get it back together asap or it will not get done. I have read some of posts in this 900 section but most I can not get all done in time fram i have. If thee is a do and don't you can think of or if you have any parts or advice it will all be greatly appreciated. Want to do as much as I can sunday and next week a couple nights after work.
And oh ya, Merry Christmas

For my .02cents worth

I have a stock shock I can just give you, I broke a shock also. Its prolly not worth the shipping cost tho .......I got onto the Swap Meet and bought a pair of Walker Evans Take offs from a forum member. You can get a set for $200 or so.

make sure you check the TPS setting as well...refer to the "how to" thread..

since your low on time before he will be home and you wana ride..you can run the stock oil pump cable..but i will guarantee it will break again very soon..look on here for the FBF throttle/oiler cable and have him order one of them as soon as he can..

get the primary balanced, and shimmed correctly for the belt he is using.

also replace the clutch springs unless you know how long they have been in there..

get a set of the SLP torque arm/push arms until you can get in and verify the motor mount condition or replace the front mounts with compfusion mounts.

Stock other than slp can What springs for clutch?

 

[guidoxpress]

depends on your altitude..

my wifes has

primary--
10-68
black/green spring

secondary--
64/42.46 helix
2 derlin washer
reb/black spring

19/42 gearing

get rid of the stock secondary helix at LEAST..its garbage...get one similar to mine above and maybe change the gearing too....and you will be alot happier..

Is cooling still good no rad, and sorry most riding done for this guy at 1500'
I picked up slp rad delete kit $22.00 simple enough but was not sure I should take it out. Don't want him to have overheat problems.

 

[polhiker]

put on a set of scratchers,dump the radiator it dosent work anyways

yes! I would get some scratchers from Summitseeker on here and then remove it. There is a write up in the how-to section up top. It will run cooler and save on your hifaxes with the scratchers. Be sure to eliminate the radiator loop entirely.

What would your thought be on a good Price?

 

[rmk2112]

Prices are all over the board, I got a pair of WE take offs with 20 miles on the for $150. Another guy had some with 1000+ miles on the for $300.

Its all pretty relative, scan the swapmeet and educate yourself, find out the prices of the different brands are going for, ie; check the market value/averages so you'll know if you're getting a good deal or not.

Shocks

I bought a full set of Ryde FX MPV adjustable shocks from a '08 RMK for $200.
I cranked the ski shocks down about as far as they can go. Haven't got to ride on them much yet. I've taken out the swaybar and am hoping not to blow them (a concern stated here on the forum). I've found this machine incredibly hard to sidehill and am hoping the different shocks, grippers skis, and 225# track spring will help. Another problem with the stock springs is that after they bottom out, the a-arms bear the brunt of the force and then bend and break. Not planning on leading the pack but hope to look good while keeping up!
