I go on f150 forums and have never heard of that happening before. Usually if theres an issue there will be someone grumbling about it. Not to say it hasn't happened before though! Did the axle break? or come out of the housing? loose a wheel?
Thanks for the replies, I've never had a machine with power steering so you're input is very helpful. I definately don't want to kick myself for not getting p.s. when I had the chance!
Kinda looking at a newer machine right now. Either a Renegade 800 or Scrambler 850. If you look at my name you can probably tell it will be the popo. With either machine in bone stock condition for aggressive trail riding in the bush Does a person really need power steering? Is it that much...
Thanks canamgirl, I have no issues with female parts people, if they're good at what they do. But then again maybe she was just filling in for someone who called in sick! Cycle works has been pretty good so far.
Last ride I was on we had 2 commander 1000s in our group. One overheated all day long. The other broke a cv joint on the front, with 700 kms on the clock. They ALL break at some point!
I might pick up the scrambler 850, it looks like it will run with the 'gades no problem. The louder the Can-Am guys are, the more nervous they are! Waiting to see your next creation!
I called a yamaha dealer for a price on a C.V. joint, front axle on an 03 grizzly 660. The parts girl responded "whats a C.V. joint?" I gave up and called another dealer.
bradj... just a heads up on the 400 polaris. Its a strong motor, but the factory OEM pistons are known for cracking on the skirt. Wiesco is the way to go!
I'm open to newer sleds too, just looking for some schooling. 500, maybe a 700. Don't want to drop a lot of cash, just a decent machine and reliable. Should I be looking at gen2 machines?
I might be interested, can you give me some more details and maybe a pic or 2, thanks. Btw, I met some of the GBCA at the jamboree this year, you guys did appear to be a really big deal!
I'm looking at picking up an older sled, thinking of a 90's or early 2000's Indy 500. Just for trail riding, don't think I'll go to the mountains so don't need a long track. What years are best? What should I be looking for? Thanks in advance!
