I replaced mine with the OEM battery because the original battery in my 07 lasted 7 years up here in Ontario Canada! The machine was outside all winter long every winter.

Thanks for all your help again!

Brake squeal Thanks for the info. Will check for leaks.

Good point! I don't use them that much. Has anyone cleaned their brakes?

All done now. I could not torque it as I only have a socket type torque wrench that would not fit between the nut and the cv boot....so I went by feel. Hope it lasts.

Hi Kanook! Thanks for your and everyone else's feedback. I was plowing snow the other day with my RTV900 and locked the the rear differential for maximum traction. I got into a jam and had to go back and forth while turning several times to get unstuck and make a U turn. Whenever the machine got...

Hello two guns. Happy new year to you! I bought that hand throttle a while ago and never had a chance to install it. I am a bit confused by it's operation. Maybe you can shed some light on the subject. What I do not understand is when you are stationary and increase the rpm's using the hand...

I agree! Wish you all the best everywhere and have a happy new year!</p>
