Hi all, ill start by saying I'm relatively new to sleds I've only been riding one season. I'm looking at a 2004 MC900 1M 159", a massive upgrade from last seasons Indy 500 LC 136".
So the guy I'm buying it from has said it seemed to be skipping teeth in the chain case due to running it dry last season and heating it up. He replaced the chain and the issue went away, but has since re surfaced.
I have photos of both the upper and lower gear/sprocket.
1st question, is that a logical scenario?
2nd, could there be something else causing the skipping, if so, what?
3rd, how difficult is it to replace the gears and chain?
4th, what gearing and chain should I go with if my riding style/area is mostly low elevation off trail riding?
Any advice or opinions would be extremely appreciated!
Hoping to get a hold of this sled for $900, which seems like a good price but I have no idea being new to sleds.
Thanks in advance for any info!
