READ THIS if you are about to take you air box out to replace the brace that holds the steering shaft in place. Last night I did this job using this video(thanks you ADDvanced for this helpful video!) and found a few things to note that will help in addition to what hes done here. 1) You don't need to remove the sensor from the exhaust pipe. Follow the cable and you will find a quick disconnect. 2) You don't have to remove the bolt holding the frame piece. The parts come out with it in. 3) When removing the throttle bodies, you need to disconnect the arm that goes to the oil pump (not sure if its actually the pump but whatever). Take a long flathead screwdriver and turn it inside the plastic end. This will open it and allow you to slide the piece off 4) Remove the belt gaurd...makes life a lot easier and its quick to do 5) When you remove the coolant line....get ready....there is more coolant that drains than I expected out of that little line 6a) Not sure why BUT the rubber boot on the machines right side can't be taken off on my sled because the starter blocks one of the bolts from being removed. I learned that you can get the throttle bodies out without removing these. Take the booties that are attached to the air intake off first. Easiest way is to reach in through the air box. 6b) When putting the throttle bodies back in, have all the rubber boots in place. Pull the airbox all the way to the front...slide/rotate them into the boots on the engine first, then slide the airbox toward the back of the sled onto the throttle bodies. I hope this helps! My sled is a 2012 F800 so maybe its a little different for different years....? Thanks again for this video....I wasn't able to find any others so I'm very grateful you posted this one. Just wanted to add a few things I found that make the process easier for others/you in the future.
Thanks man! I had no idea what I was doing and no manual, so I was just sort of figuring it out as i went. Not sure about the O2 sensor plug, but that makes sense. I didn't see it. Honestly... not too bad working on this thing really, but getting the platics off takes time/is annoying, especially since "arctic cat quality" is... uh... how do I put this... "good enough". lol. Love this sled but it rattles and the fit and finish is just... not there. Which, to be fairrrrrr, is fine. It's fun and fast and good enough for me.
I just took off my top end. Mag side piston was scored along with cylinder. The oil line looks dry on mine. Have to take throttle bodies off to check. Looks fun to do lol
It's not bad, just don't shortcut it, this is a job where just taking everything off is the best way. If it's in the way, remove it, don't bother trying to cheat, it won't work.
Oh and I believe coolant goes to throttle bodies to keep from freezing. On old planes carbs would ice up and extremely scary. Just a guess from knowledge
@@ADDvanced gotta agree! Wouldn't trade mine in for anything. The easiest part to work on is the top end haha. Took me 4 hours last night to do a top end. Quick!
I grew up next to this car and it sat in my dad's neighbors garage for 20 years. :P Check out my latest vids for the engine build; I pulled the drivetrain as a quarantine project.

@@ADDvanced Haha, thanks for the vid! Sometimes I miss the old selds where you can just swing open the hood lol

Wisconsin fam! Thanks for the vid. Too lazy to read service manual hehe

Hope it helps! Sort of a bitch to get to stuff until you take a lot of stuff off. Oh well. Love this thing!!

I love it! Clubbing and wrenching!
Gotta keep those energy levels HIGH while wrenching
To take ur springs off ur exaust take an old long flat screwdriver and find a notch in it and thr u go a spring removal tool
Grabbed one since then, so much easier lol
This vedio is awesome because it shows exactly how normal shit goes lol
Descent into madness.... :P
Very helpful video, I'm patiently waiting for my boyesen reeds to arrive! What exhaust gasket sealant did you use??
Thanks!
Glad you found it useful! I couldn't find anything on working on these sleds online when I recorded this. Permatex High Temp!
looks like my old targa in the background

@@ADDvanced mine was a 77 911s black with a burnt amber interior ,sold it in 1986
@@brianchase2073 Nice! This one is also a 77, but with a black interior. I bought it 7 years ago and it sort of needed everything.
What's the doggies name?
Lexi, she was a rescue, used to be a stray :P
Would like to ask you a few questions about your disassembly? Do you have an email I can contact you at?
Sure, what's up?
Thank god you didn't hit the tree with the nice car
Luckily the car doesn't fit on the snowmobile trails very well.
