AC+YA Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Hi rws, Nice to see you getting some good riding! Have you had to get the chaincase cleaned out due to metal fragments sticking to the magnet that makes the reverse swicth read? Seems like I have an issue every 2500 miles and have to clean, change oil, and put it back together. There is no drain plug on mine and if it did, it should have a magnet to hold all that stuff and pull it out when it was drained. Lots of stuff on the speedo magnet too.

AC+YA Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 rws, Glad to hear your sled is working well. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping the last cleanout will do it for the year. Thanks for the reply. Have you ever ridden in cold temps and seen it ice like mine? Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledjunk Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I have a question about the ice build up. My new Vector packs the skid with snow and Ice as well and when riding with Canuck last week, noticed his does the same. Has anyone tried any sprays, wipe on waxes, etc that would release this build up? Have started calling mine Hoover. But would really like to leave some snow for others. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 My new skidoo does the Same thing. Lots of ice builds up in the long tracks. When I hit a big bump chunks of solid ice usually come out. Wouldn't want to get hit in the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
