Gotta be a clutch thing... I'm going to see if chrisco can have a look see... maybe new spring and new belt...

It was a great ride last night! Can't believe the amount of snow in our hidden secret areas, normally it is a little rough, but it was as smooth as my belly, actually got the Poo stuck and had to pin it a few times just to move,(I wasn't the only one) it was like a snow blade on the front of it!

Had a hard time seeing where the creek is, as there is so much snow everywhere, could not see the banks anymore.

Good thing Pozzy did not ride, he would have blown up that Doo for sure!

PS - Went to Beachcorner but no one showed...perhaps next time...

May try to ride on Sunday around home, no need to go anywhere else?!?

did you the clicking noise on your sled go away?
In that snow it was to the pin lots, high rpm you don't notice it. I am going to check out on the stand tonight after it has thawed out and go from there. Nothing broke!

I've been saying that problem is more than likely in your clutches....The soft snow the other day just added to the headache of buying used second hand junk.

gotta agree with trev on this one. that was the best upgrade i did when i went from the "xtra lettuce and tomato" to the 670. looks like a prety clean machine. hopefully as good as mine was for me ...... on year 5 now and havent had to do any " non self inflicted" maintenance yet.

Sorry if I sounded like a dink Bog didn't want to come across that way. The xlt is in good cosmetic shape but the headaches, time and money wasted to solve small problems and fix can get frustrating. Sometimes makes you wonder was it worth it or would have it been better to spend a little more money and get something newer?? They all have their problems though. The X looks good and hope it works out better for you than the xlt did.
