- idler wheel bearings
- all suspension bushings
- rear suspension arm
-spindle bushings
- recoil
-engine x 1
- frame x 1
-chaincase
-chain
-front bumper
- front shocks
- replaced all plastics
- rebuilt primary/secondary fully more than once
- replaced carbs
- front suspension bushings
- tie rods
-ball joints

and 320479579873425 aftermarket goodies.

Oh I've also replaced the small rear spring.

What do you need to do to the suspension bushings, tie rods and ball joints? Anything else I should do? I'm putting a white board in my garage and making a list of to do's!

only need to do the front end of its sloppy.. pull your a-arms front to back see if there is movement.

same goes for the ball joints/tie rods. unhook then and look for play.

Engine re-build, e module replacement, and any other problems I discover while doing either of those.

 

[maxwell]

check the spindle bushings also. lift the front end in the air and check how much wobble is in the skis. common problem on the rev

Engine will be out of the sled, depends on crank run out, but with 4000k on the crank, odds have it I will rebuild from bottom to top.

Time will tell, too dang early to park it yet :d
