Hi all,

did some searching and could not find anything. I am looking at buying an M7 with around 1,300 miles on the ODO pretty much stock. Is there anything I should look for in terms of wear etc?

Looking at buying this for a backup sled and for my 14 yr old son to ride.

Thanks,

Torn motor mounts, stuck rollers in the primary, worn rollers in the secondary clutch, ask about diamond drive maintenance, cracks in the bulkhead between the diamond drive and the motor mount plate (have to pry out the rubber pad to see them), and check slide rails for fatigue cracks between the front and rear arms of the rear suspension.

Like mentiond below, motor mounts. Check the drive and driven clutches for wear, and make sure there aren't any stuck rollers. Check where the front arm is mounted in the tunnel to see if the holes are oblonged. If it doesn't have a front arm relocation bracket, it will need one. The geometry was a little off making the track tension when the skid is compressed. Other than that, pretty great sled and fun to ride.
