Did I run it lean?

[Summit97]

Took my son's 07 800R summit for a ride.He said the last time he rode it, it overheated.Well I took it for a ride to see if I could find out what he was talking about.Well I made it about three miles when it quit. Went to start it and pulled the rope twice then it locked up.Got it home and pulled off the Y-pipe and reeds. The MAG side was wet and looked good.The PTO side was dry and the piston had scratched.When I tried to turn it over I could feel something is wrong.The oil lines had oil in them.

P.S.
When I looked at the reeds there was a string from a shredded belt stuck in them. Keeping them open. Is that what made it run lean?

All 07 800r's got a second year engine warranty.....Have your dealer figure it out.

And no. A stuck reed will not make it run lean. Chances are when he overheated it, it caused some internal damage. Which in turn failed on you when you took it for a spin.

My thought exactly. already scuffed. That's why you only got 3 miles most likely.

Thanks

Bring it to a dealer tomorrow to find out. Don't know if it has a warranty left.Dealer told me to bring the vin.# to find out.He bought it at haydays from a guy that bought it from Cooke City Exxon ( a rental) so I hope theres a warranty.

Maybe he is just trying to get the word out so he can get it fixed.
