great sled,,, like stated,, some recalls... the foward steering stem had a recall,,, the way they fixed it was a rod that went through the stem and has these claws on top and bottom to hold the assembly together.... fuel tank was recalled... couple others i think but cant think of them...
couple things to check.... the factory pipes split at the seam,,, seen tons of them do it...make sure its not cracked,,if it is take that into account obviously...
ive seen bulkhead failure on the right side of the sled... if you look on the right side front of the engine,,(infront of pullstart) there is a engine torque stop that is bolted through the foward bulkhead and rests againt the engine to stop torque twist...
check the area all around where it is bolted through that bulkhead real well... they break up all around that bolt hole... seen two this way and it wasnt cheap to get them fixed... i have a local guy weld some new aluminum in there with a brace agianst the back...
other than that these sleds are awsome... absolutely love the 03 f7....
