racinfarmer Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I like the use of red Loctite on re-assembly. He isn't planning on working on that sled again! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bontz Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Good watch ... and yeah, that dude cracks me up. I watched his "Danglin'!!" video last year with the Firecat he was messing around with. Those power valves .. holy shit! I think Polaris should maybe watch that video and re-examine their so-called "No need to clean" maintenance strategy. Yikes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been running extreme in my 19 since new I was surprised how clean valves were!!what I did find was springs were worn pretty good!! Then again valves are mostly all the way out when riding!!😂 11k miles! Edited December 10, 2023 by X2700 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sled, in the condition it was, who knows WTF kind of oil the owner was running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken primary spring and a track so loose that it probably ratcheted. Just keep on riding it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose though, $9K Canadian is about $6600 so really not that bad of a deal (even with the shit that was wrong). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked on some high mileage sleds that were well maintained and really good shape. Worked on low mileage sleds that were just junk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bought my sled from my 60 year old coworker that was a huge selling point. Hopefully when I upgrade I can find a similar situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p51mstg Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I watch about 99% of his content +/- 3%, always entertaining. Once in a while I learn something, sometimes I'm motivated to try one of his ideas, but I'm always entertained. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
