Second year with my sleds and I fired them up a few days ago and thankfully all 3 fired right up with a turn of the key.(SWEET).

we've been taking the sleds around the backyard a couple times a month. the neighbors must think we are crazy.

Have not touched mine since May. Soon, though.

Started fixing the odd thing on the old sled about three weeks ago just so I could move/ drive them around. Was working on adjusting camber last night as previous owner had adjusted it to 0 degrees vertical but with weight off the skis. When in riding position, the camber was about 4 degrees out. Tonight I'll re-adjust the toe-out.

Love the smell of two strokes in the fall.

I start both of them once a month thru the summer. It works good for me.

I started mine and my fathers sleds the other day, both fired up on the second turn of the key.

Only another couple of months before the snow flies

I start mine once a month. It was raining the last time I was home so the Bro and I took out sled out for a lap around the yard as well. I cannot wait! Also, good for aerating the yard with the studs!

yep i have already started up my sleds..Time to do some maintenance and make sure that they are ready to go for the season....dont want to wrench on them any more during the season than i have to. Thats why theres the rest of the year!

I havent started mine yet. It will be at least another 2 1/2 months before we will have ridable snow, so I see no reason to start it.
I have been tinkering with it a bit. On Monday night I put a new console on it to fix the one that had broken tabs and checked for broken track clips and missing studs. I also took apart the secondary clutch just to check it over (its got over 7,000 miles on it and had never been apart) and everything was fine.
Now Im just waiting for the cold temps and snow.

I'm like SEG...

Haven't touched them since early summer. Mostly cause i've been painting the house and various other projects. Finished the house though, now just a bedroom to redo, then put the zrt back together and vroooooom!
