day started great... my parents decided to let me have my f-5 a day early so i could ride today. headed out- little ways down the trail my dad's drive shaft in his zr 600 breaks so we end up towing that back home (luckily we weren't far from home). we get home and he takes out the z 440 so we can ride. on the way back home with about 43 miles i can feel my sled start to lose power and i let off and the friggin thing dies right there...no temp or check engine lights at all. it was dark so i would of noticed any lights that came on. open the hood to check it out and had to wait for the smoke to clear first, checked the coolant bottle not a single drop in it. it must have sprung a leak under the running boards because there was no sign of fluid in the engine compartment. . tried starting it back up and the recoil wouldnt pull an inch- seized right up! ended up towing it back out with the trusty z! a guy we met on the trail said... "now u can go get a ski-doo..." im thinking at this point it wouldnt be a bad idea.
i'll keep you all updated on this-we are bringin both sleds to the shop thurs.
before all of this started happening, i lined up against the zr 600 and beat him all 3 times. by about maybe 6 lenghts. but now neither of us will be riding!
the thing was sure fast though and handled great... for the 43 miles it did run
