I figured it's finally time to make a log for my sled. It's a 2004 SXVenom that just cracked 3,000 miles. I believe I'm the 3rd owner, SRXXX actually helped me getting it by linking me to the craigslist ad. First owner stored it outside for some time, front trailing arms and rods have rust, as does the pipe.
Haven't done much to it since then besides basic maintenance and a black windshield. First photos are with the windshield that came with it, a very odd color that looked more purple than blue.


This is from pre-season this year. I originally planned on just checking the reed petals and stoppers when I took the carb off for cleaning to see how they looked. I ended up buying Boyesen rage cage blocks
(stock were actually in good condition still). I've used Boyesen products on my yz125 and liked them. Carb boots almost looked like they had some sort of mold growing on them
. A few photos of the stock blocks vs the Boyesen.





Took air box totally apart and cleaned it.

Found the ignition coil bracket was cracked all the way through. Ordered a new one but hasn't come in yet.

Carbs all cleaned and put back together with allen head bolts for the float bowls. Had to use an impact driver to get some of the stock screws off (also weren't all matching so someone else must have stripped out the phillips head before).
