      +hippykdb Thanks Kevin! Ya, I'm pretty handy with tools and enjoy doing that kind of work. That little machine has taught me a lot about small engines. Last Spring I did a fair bit of engine work on it. It's always a work in progress. Take care, Jen.

    Great job replacing the torsion springs Jen... I recently had to replace the idler wheels on both of my Yamahas! They are now configured where the entire bearing and wheel have to be replaced unless you choose to go with Kimpex which is a 1/4 of the cost, which I obviously did! I see you have the same socket set as I have as well, the Stanley Fatmax kit! They are great tools! Thanks for sharing an happy riding once again! :)

      +Dave Wilcox Jr Thanks Dave! Definitely the cheaper option is better! I need to replace mine too. More to add to the list. Ya, love that tool kit. Durable and has a lot of what I need at my finger tips.

    Do they always snap

    • @TheWildYam
      @TheWildYam  7 років тому +1

      No, this was an old fatigued part. It has started to crack and then sitting on the machine was the 'straw that broke the camel's back I Ithink. I should have inspected it more carefully before the snowmobiling season started and replaced it before it's catastrophic breaking.
