Hey folks, we had a customer drop off a sled that he just bought. It was a 2013 with our turbo kit on it. This is what we found in the first 2 minutes.
It also had the original fuel filter, and the belt was sitting down in the secondary so the deflection was way off.
The sled would have ran like crap. Just a heads up to have a look at the obvious for all you turbo guys.
Cheers!

Unfortunately Neil there is a lot of this happening out there, stock and turboed sleds. These are the guys that ruin a good days ride for everyone else riding with them. A little maintenance goes a long way.

YEP... Neil... lots of this.

If you have a full season on your sled.

Replace your fuel filter
Send in all four of your shocks for service
Pull the rear skid and dissassemble/clean/grease with synth/replace hyfax
Change the spark plugs
Replace the primary and secondary springs
Clean the primary, check/change weight bushings, set side clearance, set deflection
Check and replace all steering gear that is worn out.
Pull the tank, clean it out, check fuel lines inside and replace as needed.
Pull chassis grounds and clean/tighten.
Change chaincase lube if equipped.
Pull quickdrive belt and check all bearings on driveshaft and jackshaft.
Check throttle cable and adjust to spec.
Clean exhaust valves and REPLACE the base gasket when you remove it. (don't reuse)
If you have more than 1500 hard miles... replace the pistons. (1000 miles on a turbo)
Check a-arm bushings and replace as needed. (good aftermarkets ARE avail)

Lots more too... others will fill in.

Ahh yes, broken springs and blown out donuts.

Its amazing guys can keep riding them like that/

That is exactly how kits get a bad rep 9 times out of 10! Poor maintenance at its best!
