Hi, I am going to look at an MXZ Renegade 800 on Sat. and wanted to know about any common issues with these sleds. It has 5300km and looks like it is great shape. I was also planning on a compression test, what are these motors suppost to run 140-150? Any things to look for other than the usual would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Dave

Rings...Do a leak down if you can.

LadyK has 11,300 on her 2002 Gade. the first 5K was full throttle mostly in cochrane powder. The Y pipe is a biggie..upgrade to the 2003 style<<much better. WE rebuilt the clutch at 8K and put new cudney piston and rings in to be on the safe side. The reed cages were delaminating so we replaced with new cages and boysen reeds. The recoil also gave us grief but the latest update seems to have solved that issue..fingers crossed. Other than it is a stand up sled that i would recommend.

also one of the problems i had was that when you got it up to full temp and then stopped for lunch, or anytime you stopped for half and hour or so, it would not start unless you put a little gas in the cylinders. the solution was to turn off the carb heaters unless needed. the heat created from the heaters would boil off the gas in the carb and vapor lock it. not saying that it will happen to you but just a heads-up. have a good ride on a great sled!!!

Gotta love the black sleds. Are the powder pros a lot better than the precisions all around or just off trail?

Also is there a reason the sensor in the airbox for the MPEM isn't connected.
