I am a new Bombardier Atv owner. I replaced my 1986 Kawasaki Klf 300 with a 2006 Bombardier Outlander 400 Max XT. It has 136 original kilometers and about 44 hours. Yes it is legitimate. There is not a mark on the bottom side paint and the factory tires still have all the nubs on them. The foot pegs still have paint on top. The grips have no wear at all and the brake rotor doesn’t even have a shine or scratch.
I had to replace the winch which was stolen while it was in storage and a front tire which was left flat for so long it cracked at the side wall. I also changed the boots on the clutch cover which were cracked from the sun. I used silicone radiator hose from my Kenworth dealer which should hold up better than the thin factory rubber.
I plan to do an engine oil change and a brake flush. Is there anything else I need to consider in the way of maintenance before I start putting some kilometers on this machine?
I have had 2 400 outlanders as work machines but I just rode them and checked the oil. Somebody else was responsible for maintaining them.
Thanks very much for your advice.
