Hello,

I just wanted to thank everyone for all the help, big or small that they contributed to me the last couple of months. My Predator is back together with only a few tiny things to work out. I have a slight buzz up front but I think a mount on the Fender may be loose. I will still have a coupe more questions here and there so it's not over yet.

So far all I should have left is installing the Trail Tech Speedometer setup till my Nerf bars come in.

The Pred sure held up great after the 20 - 25 ft fall hitting bumper first in the dirt at -4 degrees that day. Few hundred $ later and it's purring like a kitten, err I mean Lion!

Looks like I have to cut some rubber off my Grips since they interfere with the throttle but they are comfy! Got to love those gel design grips.

I think I spent more time repairing the ETC safety wires then anything else. Make sure you tell the non Polaris riders that are with you not to pull the damn wire out of the harness to try and start it if you smash your throttle control!

It wouldn't have taken so long if I had known it was sitting in the harness loose. I initially thought I had a serious problem since it died every time I took off fast or hit a bump.

After my Nerf bars from Rocky Mountain finally arrive it will sit for 2 or 3 months because I finally get to go back to work full time at both my jobs. Yea! I want to replace my damaged gear and add more safety gear before I go out again.

Thanks again every one and like someone wise once said, "Have fun and keep the rubber side down"!

 

What the heck happened?

 

I was riding a new trail with an old friend. All I knew was there were some really great whoops ahead. Finding a very steep 4ft ramp with a 20 to 25ft drop was totally unexpected.

I was chasing a friend with many years of experience on his Banshee and couldn't stop in time. I missed the whole downward slope but found the frozen ground after it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] The Predator fared way better then I did. There was only about 6 hours on it at that time. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

Hope your wounds mend to ride another day. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Get well!
