Broke in yet???

[signfan]

Rolled over 25,000 km this week on my 2016 900 ace blizzard.  Have done the following to it.

 

Voltage regulator 

Throttle (most likely related to the above voltage regulator)

Front shock in rear skid

Bearings in the skid, carbides and sliders

Oil changes

 

That's it.  I'm probably due for a belt, a replacement track, a clutch service, fuel filters and maybe some front end bushings just cause I'm paranoid.  Not news to many, but I do believe these 900 ace sleds are Yamaha reliable.

They have certainly proven themselves reliable, which is why I have begun my switch to skidoo. 
 

I saw an ad on marketplace today that claimed skidoo had the best 4 stroke engine on snow, I thought to myself, no way, Yamaha has that title. Then I thought, if Yamaha isn’t in the game anymore, then yes, skidoo can now claim that.

Nice, that's allot of km's. Might want to find a lower km one, then to keep riding it.

If you commit to continuing to ride that sled for more years, then the additional maintenance of track, valves, shock and clutch rebuild will be worth it.  
 

I’d still be riding my Viper that had 33k+ kms but just love the extra power of the Winder.

When did you end up adjusting your valves? I’m just under 20k on my viper

The manuals I have had for 4 different Yammie 4 strokes say first adjustment at 40,000 km.

Did mine at 28,000 kms and was when the idle changed and cold starting got difficult.  Had to hold a bit of throttle to keep running up to operating temperature.

I’m hoping mine will get around that before needing adjustment.
