On Weds 4 of us went out for a ride at Keg Springs in Island Park.
In the course of the day my son was doing some sidehilling with this 2009 Nytro and flipped it upside down on the side of the hill.
He got tossed off the sled and had to work his way back up to the upside down sled.
When help arrived, we rolled her back rightsideup and prepared to fire her up and keep on riding. But the OIL warning light was on as soon as he turned the key on. So we coasted the sled down to some flat ground to check the oil level.
Sure enough, as he pulled away from the rollover spot, there was a huge brown spot in the snow, and the dry sump was BONE DRY when we checked. In spite of the rollover kit being installed, the sled lost 100% of it's oil reserve.
Well, we were able to send a sled out to the trailer and get more oil, so it wasn't a huge disaster.
BUT, now I want to know what went wrong with the valve that was supposed to close the stop this from happening. My son was wearing the tether, and the tether key properly pulled out when he got tossed off the sled. So I would have thought that valve would snap closed just moments later??
