man, you have some of the best luck of anyone I know! Ouch! 120.00 more? That's just not right!

I musta went, and done did something REAL bad in a past life. Because Kharma has me in her crosshairs...

Dave, you got your phone handy,,, there very well could be a call that day,,,,

Final figure comes out to $110.. I was quoted $600 + $10(reduced) shipping since they didn't have it at the show..The transaction get's a bit fuzzy after that, I'm not really sure about the circumstances they seem a bit odd ..I won't name vendors ,since they may be telling the truth and that wouldn't right. Sooo Tracks USA was next closest,they were $690+ $30 to ship ,they were on top of it and it's on the way..
Soooo after some quick counsel with Brian ,there's no O-rings or seals I need to pick up for this swap correct?? BUT is there any I might want to have on hand in case kharma takes a swipe at me?? I have a rotor puller coming so that's covered...

Your gonna need a nice warm cozy shop, a comfy recliner, and a 12 pack of Miller lite,,,,, thats my list, not sure what youll need for the sled

Im sure that between the two of us and the rotor puller, we have everything you will need, just have the get that recliner and beer in the shop now!!!

I don't have a recliner,but you can sit in the Olds and lean the seat back.. I won't tell people if you start making vrooom,vrooom sounds...

LMAO, like Aaron has said and I quote: "you better bring a dinner box"

I have a pre-studded track on my sled and love it. I thought it was the Ice Ripper, but not sure. I have over 8000 miles on it and still looks like new.
IMO only way to go.

Dave who??????? He's out polishing his cat.

I'm on the reassembly ,putting the chaincase back together How much oil? I know the book I have says 250ml,but I've read that there's a bulletin advising to double(500ml) the fill amount..I caught all the drained oil and haven't measure it yet but it doesn't appear to be 500ml.. Any opinions on this??


P.S. gettting that chaincase cover off was the worst part of the whole deal,could they put more crap in the way

Technically until it starts to come out the check plug when on level ground. I still get Doo chaincase oil and just end up putting most of the little jug in.

Just measured it and it had 350ml+ in it from the dealers 300 mi. service,,looks like they split the difference to 500ml.. I don't think you can use the check plug on the '09-'10 XR's-the '11-'12's have a higher check plug location. I'm sure there's a bulletin to put 500ml (double) of oil in it to improve heat transfer because of the popping out of gear problem. I know some were cutting back to 350ml, there was some overflow out of the vent on rare occasions..Looks like that's what was done in my case, I've never had any issues so guess I'll put that amount back in.. Got the Doo synthetic lube.

Yes, if you double the amount like the bulletin states you will get chain case oil coming out to the vent tube. I always put 350ml in it. Worked just fine on mine. If yours worked well with the 350ml and didn't pop out of gear, I would go with what worked.
