Well guys, just got back from the Keewinaw, in the U.P and my F7 is DEAD!
It happened around 50 MPH and about 7,500 RPM's. I was riding along, stabbed the throttle and it pulled good for a short burst, then died. No Power, No Nothing. This was during the second day of riding.
Track didn't lock so I believe it didn't seize. I Looked at the pistons, clutch side is burnt, Mag is scored pretty good.
I'll say one thing though...after the clutch kit, reeds and gearing, NOTHING was touching this thing. "Serious Upstairs Power!!!" Guess they all run like that before blowing
I pulled out the spare XC 700 and was surprised to "still" have the fastest sled. Was able to force my buddy into putting the "Angry Thousand" back into the trailer!
Sorry Kevin! That big kitty got a black eye!
I'll keep everyone posted.
Any news on a waiting list for motors????? Wondering how long the fix will be???
