as you have all read by now not alot of info or facts. i was not even going to respond to this or any other threads because i do not believe this is the proper way to resolve any issues.if someone has issues with there mechanic they should bring the unit in to have it checked out.scott already knows if we caused a failure to happen to his sled we would cover all expenses, parts and labor. to be repaired at our shop. i do not believe this is the purpose of his rants. We performed a full service and carb clean back on jan 2010 as we have for the last 3 years. every year i explain to him how to properly store his sleds if there not in use. He said he didnt even ride his sled since the carb clean because he had no friends to ride with and could not understand how his pilot jets could be plugged again.according to him we were supposed to add fuel stabil at the time of the carb clean,i explained we only add fuel stabil to something we are preparing for storage.then he said we jetted his 1010 wrong. i checked all his invoices and we last jetted his 1010 in jan 07 and he has since purchased 20 main jets,this explains who has been jetting the carbs. we only recomend jetting by reading piston wash/spark plug condition and then if you have egts or afr tune #s to match.then he said we over cut his running boards and tried to hide it by installing the snow eliminators.i asked him how else are the snow eliminators were supposed to be installed if not on top of the running boards.his only response to my questions were that he is never bringing his sled to us again. over and over again this is when i finally ended the conversation that was going nowhere and hung up.i hope that scott finds his perfect mechanic. sorry for such a long response.any questions fill free to contact us at Peak Powersports 303-363-0202 or stop by our booth at the snow show and check out our show specials on hmk gear and accesories. Thanks Rick
Go get em Rick!! There usually is two sides to every story. At least you know the facts now. To all out there Ive dealth with Rick for years and have had a 840 and 860 kit built by him with no problems. The only problems ive had were my own stupid mistakes. Rick is the only one in Denver I trust and will work on my stuff. Ive had problems with others shops and Rick was the one that got mine running correct. He knows his $hit very well. He comes highly recommend by many. Let me guess the guy that started the post wont respond anymore now.

Way to funny. Not surprising though. Maybe he could go ride with his buddy "snowrider1010"no wait that is the same person.lol
Hmm !! I guess this Game Is OVER !!! >>>>.
It aint over + I don't from conflict. Ok, let me see, if this happened to you rick you would give the mechanic a 2nd chance when your looking @ rebuilding the entire motor? EVEN I DON'T BELIEVE THAT! And what's this Crap about you explaining to me on how to store a sled @ end of season . I must of missed that conversation .
That don't really matter, I allready know how to store a sled @ end of season.
The jets we're plugged again because you didn't put in any star tron in the fuel.
Which should be done everytime you get it serviced no matter what time of the season it is . Because gas starts breaking down after two weeks.
Something I had to explain to you because you didn't even know that.
And I haven't changed the jets.
Just because I bought extra jets doesn't mean I put them to use.
And about the snow eliminators your supposed to cut a hole, not over cut 1 side 6" past the hole . That's what tape measures are for.
I notice you don't address the bearings going out or why my oil line wasn't hooked up.
Or why the k+n filters needed to be replaced + you just put them back on instead of bringing it to my attention .
I told you last year it was over heating, I'm not sure what you did but I know now it was the water pump seal that needed to be replaced.
Do I really need to go on? Your a hack! Just like other riders told me and I didn't want to believe them. And your responce must of been the vaguest I've ever heard.
Only thing true is that you've been servicing my sled for 3 years.

maybe snowrider re-jetted it?
Wait first it was 4 inches too far now its 6? You must be one drunk, methed out mechanic that is having an epileptic seizure while cutting the boards to make a mistake this bad. Im gonna go take a nap, my head hurts from trying to understand 1st Grade english.
* Ummmmm, K+N filters are "maintained" (K&N Filter Cleaning & Recharging Kits), not replaced. That's one of the main reasons for buying them. I have a Chevy 4x4 w/ 120K on the same K&N filter.
* You bought 20+ jets!!!! Were they for your friends, because you're such a awesome guy!?! LOL
The more you rant, the more obvious it becomes that you don't know what you're talking about. I'm trying to see both sides here, but it's hard when your facts keep changing and you make statements like the K&N one.
I have issues with one of my local dealers as well. I choose to not spend my hard earned money there anymore, not to try and smear his name with wild innuendo and derogatory statements.
Why wont you take the time to accurately type out a time line and state what actually happened. Scan & post the estimate/invoice.......address each of your concerns individually as they pertain to the FACTS. Then you might get some resolution and maybe some empathy to your situation.
If you just continue to bash like a wronger school girl, you will continue to get the response you've already gotten.
Rick @ Peak Power Sports: Thanks for your reply and attempt to clarify some facts and address the issues. If I'm ever riding in the Denver area and need some work/parts, you'll be my go to guy.

I have never had anyone that serviced anything put anything in the fuel unless I ask.
K&N filters are garbage, what makes them need replacing? Most sleds don't use a filter, so it really doesn't matter.
Post some pictures up of the snow eliminators. Lets see how far the cuts were made. Did you bring this to their attention when you picked the sled up?
Ditto here. I've had sleds in the shop somewhere around 30 times NEVER, (EVER) ever had anyone add any "star tron" to my fuel.
Rick is not my mech & I've got no reason to defend him at all, but I've met him on the hill, funny enough, had a conversation about how he dislikes posting on here...
treeeater 1 or 2, this just sounds pretty off color. There are a few things that you're saying that don't make sense, and it makes your whole story sound like crap.
The star tron or fuel sta bil is done for the new fuels and is has been asked by the factorys in there service updates that all dealer use it when unit comes in for carb clean or service because the new fuel breaks down in a couple of weeks making for more problems and angry custumers . what scotts biggest problem was the tank was not cleaned and carbs not set right not just jets but fuel screw on one carb was close or 1 1/2 turn and air screws at 3 turns normal is 1 1/4 to 1 3/4 rough but not 3 never mind only having 350 mains should be around 470.The air filter had the boot almost all the way ripped off from filter that is why he thought rich should have told him they were ripped he just had them off for the carb clean.The only thing i know is what i found broke and what i have be told and that is the sled was in the shop in january for carb clean and service the sled never got to see snow but a list of stuff broken on a sled that just had a srvice and never left the trailer. The reason scott even started this was just to give poeple a head up to look over the work because he did not and now he is paying . I am clearing a couple thing up let me know if you would like any more info on what as found broken just pm me i dont need to list on forum
thanks bparks
thanks bparks
With out seeing any actual work orders and what work was approved by the customer nobody will ever know if a wrong was done here, or somebody just expects way to much. I can say for a fact that there is no need to put any fuel stabilizers in the tank for any service exept for preparing for storage, (especialy during the peak of the season). Fuel out of a gas pump will last an average of two months before it starts to break down, not two weeks. With that said, and what I've read I think somebody expects way too much.
I would still like to see pictures of the running boards that are cut

Quick little story about peak.
I had picked up a 2009 XP 800 turbo last year from a guy that had the turbo installed by peak powersports.
Met Rick at the snow show in Denver and was chatting about my sled that they installed the turbo on.
After talking for a bit they had said there were a couple changes they had made to there kit and if I were to bring my sled in they would make the changes no charge.
I thought that was pretty class act seeing they have no obligation to that sled-turbo kit anymore.
