bobber...the alignment and c/c are to specs within .010" according to Ski-Doo Tech. Belt deflection - the same. The track just barely moves when the rear end is lifted. The machine idles at about 1800 RPM. Engagement is about 4000 RPM.
1000-IMP...I only let the machine idle long enough to warm up before riding. I won'trun a cold machine down the trail. And believe me, I'm not a slow driver that doesn't get the machine to shift out.
I don't treat this sled any different than any other that I have had. I have neverseen this before.
I would like it if all of you would give the primary on your '02's a check to see if you have this groove starting to form.
