I recently purchased a 96 AC zrt 600, i wanna try to stay in front of the maintenance and not let too much go wrong with it. Does anyone know what to look for when dealing with the zrt's that i need to maintain and stay up on. or just things to look out for?

all comments are appreciated
thanks

How many miles or on the sled? Make sure to grease all of the zerks and make sure to get the one under you secondary clutch and pack alot in there untel it comes out the other side. Also Also clean out your carbs and maybe your clutches if you want to.

agreed, and look out for the kill switches on those cats. my dad has a 97' and his kill switch had made his sled run like a dog because it was cutting in and out as if you were turning the thing on and off. if you ever have a similar problem like that, that should be your first thing to check, and if you do come across a problem, rip the kill switch out and itll run great. check the intake boots that go from the carbs to the engine as well because these were known to develope cracks in them, making the sled lean out and eventually having to rebuild. these are to common problems that the older cats were known for. other than that, theres really nothing else i can think of.

Ditto on the zerk under the secondary and the carbs, also check/change your chaincase oil.

Good machine but seems like most had those axle bearings replaced at least once.

Great machine, you wil find at least 3 or 4 members here with the same sled, Myslef included. Not tooo much to worry about, just the carbs and grease as stated above.
