I want to know what are the typical issues with this sled and what to look out for .
What is the difference between the dragon and basic RMK.
Paint and shocks. Literally, that's it. I run the 08 700 and have absolutely zero complaints about the standard shocks
Were there any updates? What are they?
Hand warmers and oil tank sensor were the 2 recalls.
The hand warmers would short out to the bars and make the electronic read outs (speed, tach and such) to constantly reset. easy fix.
The oil tank sensor was replaced because it could come loose and leak when the sled was upside down.
Im looking for the 155" track. I rade at 9000' and up, Mostly RabbitEars.
I ride mostly snowies, very similar elevation and riding conditions. Love the sled, it is a blast to run. I have over 2k miles on mine and have had the following issues with it.
The front bumper is a joke. It's all plastic, replace it when you can with a good after market one.
Seal up the gap around the head light with clear sylicon, it allows snow dust to get into the air box because the seal can leak.
Venting, I put the following vents in mine.
2cool airvents dash vent, Holz footwell and shock tower vents. I ran those for the last 2 years and am adding the 2 cool airvent side panel vents this year.
When running WOT for long periods of time such as spring time deep snow riding the underhood heat gets pretty bad. Blew the 080 belt apart and melted thru the pull rope last spring, figure the side vents will cure this problem.
Thanks for your input.
