Hey guy's , I have a 06gt and i have had some problems . when i bought the sled , first thing i did was put the 6.5 (fat boy spring)on the rear , one day out at Starvation lake on BEAT trails i somehow cut the electric line to the shock , when that happens shock resets to the very middle postion , your display does not work , but the shock resets to the middle . well i continued to hammer through the trails and blew the shock out . took it to my dealer, they fixed it , i rode it ..60 miles down the trail in christmas i notice im pulling some awsome hole shots and the skis were coming off the ground , thought it was cool . well after a buddys pulls up and say's "holy#*$&, your hooking up!!!" i decide i better check out where my tranfer is set . the transfer rod was broke in two pieces , but wedged together in a v shape and the point of the v is digging into my track ..OUCH!!! took it back to the dealer , they fixed it , i picked it up , pulled the shock , sent it out to be revalved , put it back in . and now i have not had a problem at all for over 500 miles , so im hope were good to go .i am a big guy , i go 300 in gear . but that thing was a joke until i got the shock revalved. it would bottom out if you hiy anything over 40mph. i do ride the hard , but i have always ridden my yamahas hard , thats why i continue to buy yamaha, they seem to be the ones that make it home every time , even with the problems i have had , i have not missed a mile of riding with my buddys ( because of sled problems)even with the blow shock i raced it in a drag cross event . and with the transfer bar , i just pulled it off and then rode it 400 miles like that , with the 13mm sway bar , it was fine , and really kind of fun , pulling the skis two foot off the ground at 60mph will bring a smile to your face !!! sorry to be so long winded on my first post . just wanted to give ya a heads up , if your going to ride it hard , get that shock revalved , also get the 6.5 (fat boy spring ) i also really really like the (pioneer)13mm sway bar , took ALL of the body roll out of the sled , feels like the viper and the sx (on rails).I also use the ullmer shock rub kit , thing works like a charm , simple and it works , i went with the Ullmer spark plug kit and top gear.my A$$ dyno says hell yes , but who knows ...i am spanking EVERYTHING until 90-100 then the big iron go bye bye .
well now you have my novel . sorry bout that . i just like talking sleds .
