Well I took the GF out for a ride this weekend, man the trails are in Bad conditions around home, and that Vmax XT isn't much of a 2up sled. My backs killing me..lol Just as we got on the lake headed to the camp to visit some people, and my Exhaust gave way, and I now have a hole about the size of a loonie in the collector pipe (Y pipe from the Engine to the Main Exhaust) Let me tell you My ears are still ringing as I had to ride another 1.5 hrs back home like that
Brought the sled down with me, And just ordered some new parts.
Inventory:
- Speedo Joint (finally going to get around to attempt to fix the speedo)
- New Y pipe for the Exhuast and a new exhaust spring
- have new Gaskets already
- New Carabides (also need to patch up one ski, and shim them both)
That and I'm going to attempt to fix the running board, as there is a crack in it, my Bro welds alot, so I'm bring it by his shop, and We're going to fix that up this week as well. Need to bang it straight, and weld it up, probably also need to take the Rad off the bottom so the heat doesn't damage it. I seen somewhere another Member put a 1/2" Aluminum Rod inside the running board, on the outside edge, where it curls, Seems like a good idea, I will probably do that, and drill some holes in the underside and tac the rod in there for good.
I hope all the repairs go smoothly, I'll probably be posting up for some advice along the way. Wish my Digi cam was working I could post up some pics along the way. Hoping its back in tip top shape for this weekend, hoping to get some miles in
