Work on my XTC

[ViperXC]

More or less trying out pictures and stuff after starting my project.

Thanks to: xsivhp, B-RAD, B2SO, SRXSRULE for the project parts so far.

That's a funny looking seat in the bottom pic - how do you ride it like that??

 

[ViperXC]

Lol IDK, I bumped into some guy at Hay Days with a seat and I told him I would buy it and that is all the farther the seat got was on the other one. Thanks again, XC
Oh ya, The toy mower isnt usually on there either, lol

Going with a 136 1.25 ripsaw and some other maint stuff. Found the the bushings are pretty much pounded out of the skid. Couple worn wheels. Fixing it up for my neice to ride and for my boys when they get older.

Cool...

Been checking part numbers and it looks like my Viper and XTC have the same size skid wheels on them. Is this correct? I have a new set of wheels for my Viper and figured I would just swap out some wheels from one to the other and save a few dollars and some shelf space. Thanks, XC

I would say yes, they are the same just different color.

Finally got the parts to continue with my project, batteries in camera died so I can't load up any pics right now. Was wondering on the rail ext. What have others done with the 1/2" adjust of the rail ext? Move it forward right away and bolt it on or all the way back in the oem rail slot? XC

 

[ViperXC]

Slow progress but still progress.

...and more parts on order, 10,000 miles and it shows.





Got the tunnel ext with mountain max cooler installed today.

 

[ViperXC]

Well it is finally rideable.

 

[daman]

Looks cool how's she ride?, do anything to the motor with that many miles on it?

 

[ViperXC]

Thanks, It rides good and hooks up great! I still need to loosen the front shock springs but it does steer good. The guy I bought it from had replaced a jug due to the piston turning not too long ago and I have an oil pump on backorder for it. It has V-force reeds in it and a silencer might be nice for weight loss.

What brand did you use for the 136 conversion?? And how hard was it all to do??

 

[ViperXC]

I got the kit from a fellow TYer but it is a MountainPerformance kit. The time consuming part was the maint due to the high mileage. Putting the long track kit on wasn't so bad at all. The chain case and axle intimidated me but before I knew it I had the chain case and everything tore out and the track was hanging back in there. It was well worth it too cuz I love the way it hooks up and goes. I put a brp ripsaw track in, the 1.25" lug height.

For my Viper I have loose parts(not a kit), mt max ext with cooler and tracks usa rail ext. I am going with a 1.75" track for my Viper project. XC

 

[xsivhp]

looks good dude!

 

[BenderSRX]

Looks wicked, i wish i could find one of those 500's up here in Canada.

 

[Coles_55]

Good to know, well hopefully I will be doing the same fairly soon...

 

[ViperXC]

Now for some better snow.
