check list...

hey, Im goin up north next weekend for a 2 day ride, I was wondering if there were a few things I should check or have checked before we go. The sled runs just fine right now, but I though I should look over some basic things and be prepared for minor problems...
The only thing I have really done is pack some basic tools and extra spark plugs..
any thoughts???

Don't forget to take a spare belt, shovel and tow rope! I'd check track tension and alignment. Grease everything up good. Ski alignment. Anti-freeze/coolant level. Check for any visible leaks and hose condition. Check fuel line clamps and condition. Clean up the clutches. Maybe most important...make sure your sled is jetted properly for the altitudes you'll be ridding.
Have fun! Where are you headed for to ride?

Bring a bottle of iso based fuel deicer. Tighten all suspension bolts. Get the grease gun out & give those Zerks a shot.
