are you mechaincally inclined? do you work on your own automobiles?

i can do some stuff my dad own a automobile repair shop. but we have never worked on a sled.

its pretty easy stuff to do. i would clean/go over both clutches. check the plastic buttons in the secondary, and check conditions of the bushings in both clutches. take airbox off and clean carbs. check reed petal condition while down there and put in a new set of "gapped" plugs. grease all the points in the rear suspension and front end. drain old chaincase oil. adjust chain tension too. check/replace slides if necessary.

mrviper has a tech write-up of carb cleaning in the tech/faq section. i would suggest buying a service manual for your sled. it would really help walk you thru.

any one got a pdf file or something of this manual i see some one did before wondering if it is still floating around.

it is the LIT-12618-02-17
