Doug Nicholas has a nifty letter in the March issue of ATV Sport. Seems his Predator is down to 342 lbs.. I think this coming summer is gonna be a hot one at the dirt drags! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Nice job Doug!

 

Thats great! Ken your driving me crazy with all this predator talk, I cant wait to get one[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

O yeah Ken, I hear a lot of people talking about the oil lines on the pred leaking.. Did polaris fix this for the 04s?

 

The leaking lines are after someone has disconnected them, not a production concern. Each line has both a neoprene o-ring, and a nylon/teflon back-up o-ring. Whenever you disconnect the line, it's best to replace both of these units. Also, slightly chamferring the edges of the holes on the block, along with a quality o-ring lube (Parker O-ring lube) placed on the o-rings prior to installation. A little caution, when installing them leads to a leak-free finished product. I always keep a few extra of each in my toolbox.
The longer you wait to by a Predator.....the more fun you're missing out on. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

after i put my seals in the opposite way the book says too... i had no trouble with it leaking at all...
plus i kinda had to bend the line a lil towards the engine.
