I heard that you can not roll fst on its side what about
like for susp. work or skeg change
something about oil going where its not suposed to.

Definitely not on it's left side. Oil will run out through the separator into the air box and ruin the filter and probably get on the belt. I think you may be able to roll on the right side. However, I think it's best to remove the engine oil before rolling over which is what I did when I needed to work on the chaincase. Just like any 4 stroke, if you tip it over with oil in it, you should wait a while before starting to make sure all the oil drains back into the crankcase.

Rolling to the right is no problem.

Rolling to the left is a problem as mentioned.

I got a pliers type hose clamp, and put it on the hose that allows foamy oil to go from the oil reservoir into the oil/air separator or cyclone. This prevents oil from getting into the foam in the air box and then into the air filter.

When installing the clamp, put it on in such a way that it would be very obvious if you tried to close the hood.

Dont roll to the left when its running. I learned the hard way. Tried climbing too steep of a bank and it went one way and I went the other. It ended up on its left side with flames coming out from under the hood. I got it righted and put the fire out with snow, minor damage only. Oil on the hot turbo I suspect was the cause.

Does anyone know if the 07's still have the 4-6 small weep holes in the bottom of the plastic air cleaner box? I plan to plug them in my 06 and add additional absorption material to soak up excessive vapor condensate from the cyclone. Last season I experienced some oil dripping from the airbox to the belt guard and on the belt. I realize that plugging the holes may not be necessary with the new cooler restrictor and oil temperature running hotter to boil-off the fuel blow-by to the crankcase.

Actually if your sled has not been run for a long time there is virtually no oil in the reservoir. It all drains back to the crankcase.

Rolling it on it's side while running it = not good.
Rolling to the left also not good.

I took the box off the clutch guard and used foil tape to cover the holes. I would rather ruin the air filter than let oil or fuel drip on the belt which is what happened to me. Oh, almost forgot, then the belt blew a big hole in the belly pan. Poo covered under warranty. :div20:

Hi Excursion, could you you take a picture of the hose that you are referring to? Maybe with the clamp on. Also if the sled gets tipped on it's left side accidentally what procedures should be taken? Do you think it's neccesary to carry an extra air filter? I was wondering If you knew of any aftermarket air intake kit (cone shaped air filter) that would increase air flow and HP. Thanks in advance, Stan.

Go to Sears or some other place that has automotive tools and ask to see a pliers style hose shutoff clamp. They are often used by mechanics to avoid spllage when working on oil lines or coolant lines.

There is only one hose that comes out of the oil reservoir on the left side. It goes to the black plastic cone shaped cyclone or oil air separator. If you shutoff this line next to the reservoir, when the engine is not running, you can now tip it on the left side for service operations. MAKE SURE the shutoff is removed before you start the engine.

You should go thru your entire owners manual, a few pages at a time. The operation and maintenance of this sled is different than any that you have had before. In the MY07 owners manual, page 114 describes the procedure for dealing with the sled tipping on its left side 3 or more times.

The FST has a huge air filter, the engine is provided air by a turbocharger. You will not see any aftermarket filter that will increase air flow or horsepower.

Thanks Excursion, I appreciate the reply.

I cant wait to ride.......... :div20:
