alright guys, i no im prly gettin annoying by now, but this is the first sled i ever payed for... and i started it again, and lifted the back end, punched the throttle, and the speedo sat for a minute, then climbed.. so it was just a little stuck from sitting i guess... So im VERY happy about that, also i replaced the speedo light, so now it lights up... after the 2 new idlers, shes snow ready! So afterall, the guy didnt screw me in any means.. Im very happy with the sled.. i tend to just freak out at times lol..

Don't worry if he did or didn't. You bought an awesome sled. You'll likely find more problems down the road....fix it and move on. Let's just say I wish I had yours.

But i promised my dad id pay for anything the sled needed..

I just bought a sled for $1800 which was exactly book value and I spent $250 at the shop for a belt, oil, sliders etc. I'd think he would just say, "You looked at it before you bought it!"

Wow PR. Talk about some ups and downs! Sounds like you learned a valuable lesson. I bought a 98 machz and had the same issues. Aside from it almost killing me it almost broke the bank. I have a more modest sled now. There is nothing like the fear of WTF did I just buy? and being angry at the guy you bought it from is the wrong way to go. We all learn from our experiences and move on. You will enjoy the hell out of your sled this winter and like that guy with the orange pussy cat says "PRAY FOR SNOW!

Who the hell are you calling pussy?

xc sp 500 rider · 10-18-2009, 09:16 AM

polaris rider · 10-18-2009, 01:45 PM

just got done doin some stuff to my sled.. replaced the cable that holds the hood up.. bought some window screen for $10, spray painted em green, figured its alot cheaper then buyin $35 hoood screens... it turned out lookin ok.. Next thing im gunna add is a black(smoked) headlight cover

xxxthebxxx · 10-18-2009, 02:38 PM

Coming along nicely! Are you sure headlight covers are legal?

polaris rider · 10-18-2009, 03:29 PM

nope, there illegal.. but obviously at nite ill take em off, and there jsut held on by velcro.. most a DNR would do is make u take it off, and i could jsut store it in my back compartment

xxxthebxxx · 10-18-2009, 05:05 PM

O well they still look sick! Where r u getting them?

polaris rider · 10-18-2009, 07:11 PM
