So I just picked up an '03 RX1 with ~1300 miles on it. Sled's in great shape except for a cracked windshield. What sorts of things should I be doing now to make sure that the sled is ready to go for the remaining spring corn season and then storage (in the garage) over the summer? For instance if I were to buy a used car I'd replace all the fluids with synthetic, replace worn belts and hoses, and clean everything thoroughly. Forgive my ignorance. I'm a total sled newb but am quite mechanically inclined and would like to do the vast majority of the work myself. Thanks in advance for your help!
Advice for a newb who bought an '03 RX1
- Thread starter Cruiser
- Start date
Seafoam the gas
Drain the carb bowls
Drain/replace oil either in spring or fall there is a big debate on it, I do mine in the fall
Grease suspension
Check your drive bearings on the clutch side both the one behind the secondary and on the driveshaft. They are sealed but often are in need of grease, pop the seal off and grease with needle tip.
Replace your windshield I have a low black one for sale or a stocker
PM for price or e-mail me.
That is low milage and your clutches and everything else is probably good to go. Drain your chain case and replace in the fall. Have fun!

Thanx for the quick reply! PM coming your way shortly.
Another question: Is there a proper shop manual specifically made for this sled? It'd be nice to have some diagrams, flow charts, expanded views, and how-to's.
