And the one I bought had 600 kms on it. And mine let me down in a big way...lol Edited January 7, 2017 by Blackstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 All kidding aside, did it really break down? I have read of a few 1200 issues (coil, relays), and am curious. My buddy's was basically DOA from Ski-Doo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blew the head gasket, oil mixed with the coolant which formed a gel plugging the water pump. I believe the damage was actually done the previous day to the big melt down while someone else was riding it. It was run down the side of a dry road. The rider told me they had seen the overheat warning come on the gauge. I wasn't too worried since I believed the ecu would shut the engine off if it got too hot to operate. But that's not how it works. The ECU will only shut the engine off if the engine is at idle. If you are on the throttle, it will run until it melts down. At the end of the previous day, the sled seemed to run fine as I took it to fuel up at a gas station 1 mile a way from where we stayed. The next day I didn't make it one mile and I noticed the temp gauge coming up. After 5 miles of trying to cool it down I stopped and the sled boiled down like I'd never seen before. Steam poured from every orifice and seam on the block. I sold it as a chassis. I warned the buyer that it was a massive melt down. He was sure he could save the motor. When they got the block out, it was so warped it could not be machined. Every part of the motor was toast. The sled was dismantled and sold off in parts.

I was going to PM you and ask what the root cause was. I remember when it happened, you were at the ride in Gravenhurst. I just bought a 1200 and was wondering.

Puzzleboy Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 So, it "let you down"..... even though someone was driving it on dry roads and obviously overheated the hell out of it, and kept riding. Got it. I overheated my ETEC years ago (late season hardpack). Tried cooling it down, tried riding it.... after the third time, went into limp mode. Dealer had to reset it, and explained to me that it's a self preservation thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyr Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 My buddy sold his Citation LS for $1500 this fall and we thought he got ALL the money for it. His had less than 30hrs on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garth Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Yeah I'd say maybe 2k absolute tops if it truly only had a tank of gas through it and was properly preserved. And even then it would take forever to find a buyer. Don't think it'd be even near 4k when it was new?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
