Scranton1 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Day 4 540 miles Left 7 AM back at 5 PM Ice road for the first two hrs! 10 hr ride. Both E and I safe and sound! Jim, We had no communication with the dealer and had no idea what the wait time would be Monday AM in Val Dor? Closed Sat noon Stumbled upon the mechanic in Matagami and it just so happened he was delivering a sled to Montreal today so Eric and I made the mutual decision this was prob the best option. Doonali, Sled was a 09 600 carbed with 4700 miles. ( I know I was gambling a bit ) We have been running the motor since 05 and this is the first one to let us down. Several had 10000 plus with no issues. Until next time, BJ/Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was bummer only good thing it was on second year so warranty covered it. It was the oil pump. Good luck boys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doonali Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Haha...True that! My 2010 e-tec is taking her last trip to Quebec this week then I'll be ordering a 2016 900 ace or a 1200 4-tec.

iceman Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 The 2012 E-Tec 800 with me had the Pistons (recall) done at 10k miles. Yeah we are nervous about it, but with good reason it's pushing close to 18k miles now. She probably has seen her last ride in QC but you never know.

vt_bluyamaha54 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Two stroke motor longevity is a combination of off-season storage, fuel, lubrication and manufacturer design/parts quality. I won't pretend to put them in order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
