A Revy Sled Bum's Tale: Another Season with Lilduke

[lilduke]

Heres what we had going on today. Beefed up the corners with cromoly plating.

I think the rear shock linkage is going to be next thing to break.

I thought revy was all outta pil

Just noticed put my limiter straps on wrong. Not a huge deal, but if i run it like that it will hit the track.

pictures help me catch stuff like that.

Love your photos Dan! Hopefully you can hit some better luck these last few weeks of the season!

Dan, question. Do you get to park your sled overnight in heated storage? Or do you run it day after day without a full melt?

Spends most of the winter in the back of my truck. I chip the ice off in the morning and it melts out pretty good at 8000rpm I find.

It spent today deeeep in the trees. Too cold in the alpine for me this week!

How many km so far this season?

Not exactly sure, around 3500 I'm thinking. Still 3 months of riding yet though, so rebuilding my clutch and going to do the top end here real
soon.

Fml, opon further inspection I had a busted
Motor mount and cracked ski.

Wtf this is getting out of control,
It's almost like riding these things
Like a wing nut is hard on them

Wow .......a guy who rides,flys and lands hard who takes responsibility for the outcome. Prepare to be flamed!

Warranty! Everything you have mentioned sounds like warranty.

Remember that time BRPcares said they would warrenty some suspension parts for him and then they didn't.

In all fairness to BRP care I didnt see the message or get a hold of them.

Im starting to wonder if the shop even put in a claim?

Don't really care at this point, Its better than stock now and cost me 45$


Motor mounts are cheap and took me 10 mins to replace. Try to get warranty on that, means its going to be sitting in a shop
and not on the hill.

Belts are all warranty, just have to send them into Gates.

Dont think they warranty broken skies?


Only thing that I would really push for warranty on is the motor and planning on rebuilding it here ASAP

before it blows up and Ill most likely have to pay for that to happen.

When u actually ride the sled like you do dan its understandable to have to have a good maintnence program specially at the kms you get yearly and the abuse your sled takes overall sounds like your sled has been pretty rock solid. I couldnt imagine you with a 850 lol. Wish i could get the kms you do in a season i get my 4 to 5 trips, this year much less but we all do it cause we love the sport its a bummer when sleds in the shop and a guy actually made the schedule line up

Yeah I feel for they guys that only get out a few times a year and then have sled troubles, that does suck.
