Hi Guys,
First post here, but I have been reading/learning for a while now.
I have had this 1988 EX570 Exciter for a couple of years now, and have had a few issues with it and found this site...so much useful info and you guys are awesome in helping each other out. There are a number of great rides here and some of the builds are incredible. You have inspired me to do a complete rebuild of my machines this summer, but right now I just want to rebuild the carbs and do a few suspension tune ups. I have found the 1991-1993 service manual on line, but I can't seem to find the 1987-1990.
I also have a 1992 EX-570 with a new track, and in great condition, except for the fact that the guy ran it lean and scored the pistons. I have new ones, rings etc to go into it...and get this ride going but that will be this summer. I love these machines. They are great!
Does anyone out there have the 1987-90 service manual in pdf emailable format? I would be glad to share my version as well. I know they are pretty close, but there are a few differences I have discovered in reading the posts in this site. From what I have read here, the carbs probably need needle/seats as the engine floods if left for a few days. It also takes a few minutes to clear itself after it finally starts. Carbs have been rebuilt and balanced. Power valves have been removed/changed and TORS are gone. I know I need to tune up the suspension as she bottoms out once in a while with my 240lb mass sitting on it.
I also need to update the front suspension, bushings etc as the skiis wobble a bit, side to side. Otherwise, the engine runs fine once it warms up. Still, would like to make this a 1st pull, start and go machine. Here are a few pics.
This is the 1988, our current ride.
And the engine bay of the '88
New track on the '92
And the 1992..in better physical condition but the engine needs work.
Cheers
Paul

Did you try exciter sx.com? I just recently picked up a 92 exciter to bring back to life hopefully.

Kilohertz,
Have you been working on your sleds?
Have you been working on your sleds?
Sadly, not yet. It's been a crazy busy year here so far and I still have an engine swap to do in my Prelude before I get to the snow machines. I do however have a heated shop in which to work so even if it gets cold, I will be able to get them done. I think I still need the service manual, but can't remember if I found one last season. :-)
Keep me posted on your progress.
Cheers
