My dad has the same sled, except his is a '93. We heard all the same horror stories about it when he bought it 2 years ago. So far it has almost 8000 miles on it with no engine trouble at all. He needs a new track, and he's replaced most of the front suspension from hitting stuff in ditches, but no engine work. He did also have to replace the drive drain and tensioner. The only down side to this sled is that IF the battery goes dead, it's a real pain to get to for jumpstarting or charging, especially out in unfamiliar areas with limited tools. This has happened twice. You have to pull the exhaust to get to the battery, and there is no way to start that engine without either charging the battery or jumpstarting it. It needs the power to energize the fuel injection.
I will say this, it is a really fast machine. Easily hits 110 on a frozen lake, and accelerates with authority. Way to much machine for my dad, who never goes faster than 50, and usually less than that.
