Ok, it's spring/summer now and sledding is over for us midwesterners (If you live out west, Alaska, or where there is still snow, i'm jealous of you ....).

So as a little fun, let's hear about your summer repair plans.....

For me, this winter I smashed up both right side radius rods mid winter (rock just under snow surface) while off trail riding in Northern MN. I knew i smacked a rock, but didn't notice the carnage until later. Both rods were intact, but bowed pretty good. I quickly fixed those as they were smashed in Mid February and there was lots of riding left, or so I thought.

But it seems this winter had low snow everywhere and our Yammi's suffered lots of major damage from the various hidden objects....... Let's have a little psychology session here and talk about the carnage!


This thread is not about off season build plans, it's about repair plans!!!!!!!


Anyone else?!?!?!?!?!?

left side ski, radius rods, shock, and trailing arm.
All fixed.....
Oh by the way still riding, 3'+ of new snow in the last three weeks.
3" plus in the last 24 hours.
 
Not quite summer

My viper lost a bolt in the lower w-arm and twisted, tore the tunnel where the upper w arm mounts to it, twisted one of my rails and ripped the rivets right out of the reinforcement bracket. The insurance company totalled it and I bought it back, I got the skid put back together and I am leaving on the 15th to head back out west, summer isn't here quite yet!!!!!!!!! ;-)
 
mottor blow up crank bearing went that sucked got it fixed and want out west one more time and had over the hood snow to break her in
 
We do not speak of such things - just repair/replace 'em and promptly forget all about 'em
 
I have to find a new(er) tunnel/frame. My running boards and exchangers look like bananas and starting to leak again. And rear motor mounts are welded from this past season, so i don't trust them for another year. Total overhaul this summer/fall for sure.
 
Let's bring this back!!!!!




How's everybody's repairs coming along???????





I'm installing the Viper torque limiter this year soon. I broke 3 motor mounts in the last two years also, which gets old after a while......





Hopefully no more broken motor mounts for me!!!!!!!
