I have a brand new blue cobra windshield for that sled. 30.00 plus shipping.
I have another "stock" clear but lower windshield for it. This was the sled that 2Strokin had for sale. The guy that bought my XT was really happy. He has a 380 ski-do fan and when he took the xt for a ride the way it's clutched for the pipes and the front end came up....I knew it was sold.
I wanted to do some cleaning before I tore into it too much. Tomorrow is carbs and PV's. Maybe some polishing. I doubt I'll get the pipes painted this year. I'd like to, but I have to work Monday.
I think I've read before that it is tough to get the discoloration off the bellypan at/near the exhaust.
I thought the track was loose too. I realize those stud hang some weight off there, so I don't know exactly how to put 22#'s on there. I'll tighten it up some when I swap out hyfax on it.
The sled has just under 4500 miles on it. I need to decide if I'm going to re-ring now or wait until after the season. I have the rings....
I need to figure out what will take off the registration/trail permits without damaging the finish. In MI we have just the sticker, not the number.

Use a hair dryer.Thats what i use and it works great.Then i use rubbing alcohol or goo gone to get the glue off.
You can soften the stickers with a hair dryer and then use a clean rag and WD40 to remove the residue. WD40 works great for this! Enjoy your new ride. G.B.

Yes, it has reverse. I didn't even know that the routing wasn't standard. He said the reverse was "fun" to put in.

tho's can be cleaner now, come on!!!!! loldnale said:
I have both amsoil and klotz (a gallon of each) at my house that I bought and never used. The sled supposedly had amsoil run in it but he said they stopped pulling the pv's for cleaning a while back. They were tough to get out. I was worried about trying to get them cleaner. I didn't want to damage them. They soaked in aircraft paint remover for well over an hour. I wasn't sure I could take much more of the fumes.... When I put them back in they seriously just dropped in .
