	I am probubly bringing up an old topic but I think it bears repeating. Check your water traps on the carbs for rot. I had one split after my last ride and dunp gas all over the ground underneath the sled. Im glad it didnt rupture while I was riding!! It would have shut down the sled at least or done something a lot worse. I bought a 600 zrt a few years ago thet was burned and always wondered what happened. I might have found out!! The water trap is only $1.75 from the cat dealer and is cheap insurance to prevent a problem. Later Mantabill Rating: 0 Quick Edit Edit Topic

	I had the hose on mine split last year on the trail,lucky i was able to trim it above the split and put it back together to get me home cuz i was alone and about 20miles from home at 11pm.so check the hoses too when you have the carbs off for your pre season carb clean.Bend um and if theres cracks the replace the hose,you can get it at any autoparts store. *98 XC600 and some RMK add ons *98 XCR440 and some SKS add ons *Some old 70s Chappral Firebird with a 1 lunger Fuji,15mph downhill on ice with a 14 mph tailwind,AND ITS FOR SALE FOR SALE!!! *new edition to the fam.83 Polaris Star 250.givin it some TLC for the lil guys to ride Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	yes thats what happened to your ZRT. You can even see videos of them burning on youtube. I replaced mine with solid black thick hose and threaded a tight bolt into the bottom of them with a hose clamp.
