Have my 2011 apart. Should i replace top crank arm needle bearings. Also what gaskets/orings should I replace with new if any. Sled was apart last year and they look alright. Thanks.

If the bearings look fine, I wouldn't bother replacing them. Doing a top end rebuild on mine as well, wont replace the bearings.

Replace all of the gaskets and o-rings you remove.
