Raise the back of the sled good and high or have a friend tip it up on its side and hold it. Look for grease fittings and grease them all. Grease the fittings at the spindles by skis. Loosen your secondary clutch and slide it out a little and grease the 2 fittings there also.Top off all your fluids,and spray all your bogeys and other moving parts with some lithium spray or other good lubricant. Pack some tools and safety items and have fun. Cleaning your clutches and having a spare belt is smart too. As far as going on a long ride alone..... I would not do it personally- maybe its just me, but too many things can happen.
