buy or not 07 rev 800 adrenaline

[rmkboy]

I am interested in buying a 07 800 rev adrenaline from a local dealer. They installed a brand new motor and has 0 km's on it and they rebuilt the primary clutch. The sled has 3600 km's on it. Any advice would be great, I just blew my crank in a 01 800 rmk and don't want any issues with what I buy.....just wanna ride.
Thanks

My 2c.... I have been through the issues with my 07 and besides the fact that many might say STAY away from it, i'll say different (now anyway).

07 issues: Crank, if you have the 08 motor its solid.
Clutching: Get a DJ's clutch kit, youll never regret it.
Track: stiff paddles and it just sucks, slap on a new soft 2.5 and hold on.
Rave Valves: replace with 09's

Add an SLP kit and done... Mine absolutely rips, I tried to sell it in the beginning of the season with no luck and after ridding the crap out of it this season, Im glad it did not sell.... I still see alot of 07's out there and their owners seem to love them....

Bottom line DONT pay too much for it and it will be a great sled. Make sure it has the new 08 motor.

The addrenaline has the challenger not the lite which is a good track. Good sleds but 3500km's is a lot if it was mountain riding.

I figured that 3500 km's is roughly 55 - 60 km's a week for a five month riding season which I didn't figure was to bad. It is in mint condition....I'm just worried about the issues hanging over this sled. Thanks for your opinions above any one else?

What if it has the rebuild kit put in it from skidoo to fix the problem with the crank...will it still be solid?

If it blew a crank, the only "rebuild kit" I've heard of is a new shortblock.....

I own an 07, and it has been a bit of a bumpy road, but it is a very fun sled to ride and I would buy one again.

Mine became a great machine after a new bottom end at 400 miles, and then going aftermarket for everything else. The Stock Clutch stuff sucked and never worked right. Get a DJ clutch kit and you can bring out the smile from ear to ear. Once mine was running right it was the best sled I have owned.

Have and '07 xrs (one of the worst out there (yeah right)). I have around 1800 miles on mine. No issues with the crank or clutch (after the update). Haven't put many miles on it this year, little snow up in the northern mountains. I would definitely buy another '07. The new xp chassis doesn't seem to pull over as easy and the older rev chassis. My dad also has an '07 with quite fewer miles, but no issues with anything. I have said before on here that I like the challenger lite track, my lugs seem to be fairly soft.

As long as the tunnel, bulk head, flying nun, and everything else is in good condition, the miles/km shouldn't matter too much. Check the distance between the shock and the a-arms, they should be equidistant (for the most part).
