so tomarro im gunna look at rear susp on enticer. doesnt
move at all. but has been sitting since 1991.

hope a shock not locked but guess we will see???

Renagade · 05-11-2012, 12:47 PM

well sprayed down rear susp and let sit
overnight, got it to move a little bit, so
soaked it and let sit while i cut section of
grass. lol!!
now it moves thru the 2.5in of travel

so thats taken care of so far.

maybe if we switch sleds for a bit, but i
doubt a enticer 250 will make me switch.

i always liked rx1, and warriors. never got a
chance to ride one? maybe this year? (hint,hint) lol

Mpolly500 · 05-15-2012, 08:08 AM

I love the older Yamaha's never really ridden a newer one. The old ones were built to last. My 79 an 80 exciters are the best running machines I've ever owned.

Renagade · 05-15-2012, 10:16 AM

had baceball pract last nite, all the parents were like,
why would u work on that junk sled when you
have a nice sled already??
crazy stuff people say, the boys loved it and
wanted me to start it!!

guess im not material like they are. i think old
sleds look tough. not junk.

Ya, probably wont get the wow factor out of a 250. Still will put a smile on your face.

Warrior would be nice with the longer track. They were few and far between as far as finding one. A lot more RX1s. Just couldn't pass up on the one I bought that "looked" identical to the one I saw a year before, minus the turbo.. If we ever hook up, no problem riding it....

Saw a Renegade at a restaraunt we stopped at this year while riding. Was dark out and noticed it as we walked by. Saw the guy inside and asked if that was his Renegade I had glanced at(if it wasn't dark out I would have looked at it better). He said I must have looked at it more than just a glance to know it was a 'gade. I didn't tell him I see yours on a regular basis.....

We talked about it for awhile. He liked it. He said the 136" did smooth out the trails...

Renagade · 05-17-2012, 03:23 PM

i figured out the smile factor this winter, with
my olympic!! when i picked it up for a spare i
said "ill never ride that thing"!!!!
well my step daughter rode it all day around my
2acres when we had our big storm, 2in!!!

well she went to bed and i got bored, so i suited up
and rode the snot outta that thing for 4hrs!!!!
didnt beat on it or nuthing, god forbid if it wasnt
running when she got up at 6am the next morning!!
but ya, it was way more fun than i expected.

we will hook up this winter, and swap sleds for a few miles!!
i let kccats ride mine last season,
but NUTHING compairs to his pantara!!

**kccats** · 05-17-2012, 06:16 PM

Yeah and the way you ride you'd be fine with the Yami!
