Maybe you could get someone with a compatible machine to give you the description.

When I replaced the head on the 2005 I rechecked the bolts and found only one that needed additional torque. I thought I may have not torqued it right the first time. Pays to double check.

Glad you got it out. I replaced the head on a 2005 900 I had a while back and the one I bought had the raised plug on it. It would have been bad to damage a head that cost as much as they do.

A picture of that plug would help.

2WD is a lot less stress on machine. 900X rolls and handles more freely in 2WD. Just my 2 cents worth.

Up grade from 2005 900 to 2018 X900 with 150HRS and 430 Mi.

Sorry about the late update. I Went ahead and purchased the X900 and listed the 900 yesterday. The first caller drove from Kentucky and bought it. Had 3 additional callers wanting it.

I just went and looked at the X900 and the hours are correct and it has been stored inside. If the dust was washed off it would look like a new one. overkill on the service 3 oil changes engine - 1 HST change - 2-HST filters changes. Think I'll go ahead and buy the X900 and repair the 2005. I...

I have a 2005 900 with 1730 hrs pretty good shape with the exception of needing a first and reverse shifting fork replaced. Jumping out of reverse in a hard pull.I think the transmission has to come out to replace the fork. I also have the opportunity to purchase a 2018 X900 with 140 hrs for...

2005 RTV 900 1600+ hrs

The one I ordered off of Ebay was listed as aluminum but when delivered it was cast iron. It's been about 50 hrs with no problem. Be sure to flush your system good and check your thermostat. I ran mine about 30 min. and checked the head bolts plus readjusted the valves. Mine is a 2005 also with...

Solved - Found the throttle linkage where it mounts in the bracket next to the fuel injection pump was not tight and jumped out of the bracket. Also I dicovered that I had failed to reattach the throttle return spring which was hidden from view under the stop solenoid. Everything back to normal...

Are you talking about an internal spring or external? To me it has to be something that changed during the head replacement. Are you thinking it's getting to much fuel? Would it hurt to run it with the exhaust diconnected to test for exhaust retriction? Ran it for awhile today ran fine with the...

Cleaned today with no change. Thanks

Thanks I'll check that today and advise back.
