I bought an '05 RMK 159 800 last year. It was my first year of getting into sledding. It is very clean but has had a lot of things done to it (twin pipes, rolled chain case, big wheel kit, gas must be mixed and oil pump is now running down to the crank etc.). I have learned a ton in the past year but one thing I have learned is the issues with the crank in the 800's. Now everytime I ride I hear ghost noises and am sure the crank is going to go out. The sled actually runs fantastic with never a problem. I have heard from 2 different mechanics on prices if the crank were to go out. One was $900 the other was up to $2000. How much should it run to replace a crank? $2000 is a lot to put into a sled worth $3000. Should I sell the sled while it runs great and buy a '06 or so 700? I am not overly handy working on engines so I need something that is reliable and easy to maintain. Thanks!!
