My sled sits in a heated garage so the cold cold starts are maybe 30 or so. It starts consistently to -30c any colder and who knows. When started cold it will start and die right away, then start on second attempt, idle rough for 30 seconds but stay running. The latter part of this winter i...

If i did my math right the exhaust spec is .21 mm - .25mm so it looks like all exhaust valves are are with in lower spec except one and it may be in spec because my feeler gauge sizes jumped from .20mm to .22mm so my .20 reading could be .21

I have my sled apart 4000 miles so i measured my valve clearances at room temp. picture show results, don't think spec written on sheet is right. What are the specs ?????

Could stick a couple of big rare earth magnets to the out side of the oil pan to hold pieces from floating around inside pan. or glue a magnet to the oil drain plug. Where would be the best place to put magnets to catch any filings or gear teeth???

You can test the stator voltage as well. Unplug stator plug from voltage regulator (3 pin plug). you can reach it through the nose of the sled, its on the passenger side ahead of A arm mounts. Set tester to AC voltage and do 3 test between two wire in plug from stator ie: 1and 2, 2and 3,and...

charging system should be at about 14.3 V to 14,5V when running. If starter ever went out from kick back gear tooth may have dropped into stator and damaged it. Thats what happened to mine and it was charging at 12.2 to 12.9 v

UPDATE: wire rub was found on wiring harness near steering column. fixed!

A friend of mine has a 2014 ltx that keep throwing a po261 code. he has had it to the local dealer for service and they change the injector related to this code and also changed plugs. It still showing this code from time to time. What could be causing this and could it cause damage if not...

Already have aluminum belly protector. Will see if i can get the rivet on exhaust deflector you showed on other post.

i have the same steam issue this sunday. At end of the ride i immediatly took off the plastic panels there was a lot of snow packed around bottom of muffler, and some snow around the tunnel hole. snow was not deep enough to come in the radiator grill above the bumper, through the mesh below i...

cannondale thanks for your insight. louvered aluminum plate on the tunnel is what i was thinking . snow was not coming in vents on top of the hood to get in rad . will enough snow come through stock mesh below bumper cause steaming?

my xtx will steam bad in deep snow . I have sealed up all holes in the belly pan with silicone and sealed above A arms where hood has gaps and no difference. i think it has to do with the hole cut in the top of the tunnel for the header pipe because i can make mine steam by quickly spinning the...

I changed my bearings on the rear bogies with no problems in 1000 miles. Unbolt the two bogie halves and use a hole saw slightly larger OD than the OD of the bearing to cut away the plastic that holds in the bearing and drive old bearing out and new one in. NOTE :Cut away the inside of the...

i STONGLY suggest you have the stator checked if any gears are chipped or missing. My starter gear went at 900 miles and was changed on warranty but stater was not checked. Then after warrant ran out the electrical system got weak and wouldn't keep up the voltage any more. i found this...
