Hey BC max I sent ya pm. So I have had the new mountain max a couple times on our local trails here. Not up in the big mountains yet. I have been hearing this ticking noise that doesn't go up or down with rpm, but with the speed of my machine. Low and behold my speedo is not working. I have also checked the chain case and the chain is tight. It does have reverse but everything seems to be good on that side of things. I will go down over the drive shaft and Jack shaft bearings here in a bit. I have a parts sled with low km. Other then those little things it is running really well. Very happy with it. Huge difference in the un coupled suspension as well. I really like this ol girl. Just wish I had a boss seat or something like that. Tried raising the stock seat but was weird to stand up with. I know all these topics have been covered a bazillion times and we have all moved on to real mountain sleds and one day I will be able to afford one bit until then........ I'll be screwing around with these old things. Oh and as far as gearing goes. It looks like I am 39/19 does that sounds right. Tried counting the bottom sprocket teeth and got 39 every time. Full out she is Regina about 8600rpm which I believe is right. Anyway just a bit of an update for ya guys.
