2017 850 Spark Arrestor

Hey guys,

I recently removed my spark arrestor and the bike has ran much better since.
Is there any reason that I should replace it? Once I removed it, it fell right apart in my hands. So as of now, I am running without it.

Thanks in advance.

new to me 2004 Predator 90 – things to do?

Hi all,

So I just picked up this 2004 Predator 90 for $600 for one of my boys. Guy I bought it from has said it has sat in the garage for many years, his kids are now grown, so it it needs a good going through. I figure i need to scrub the carb and flush both the gas and oil tank good.
Here are some basic parts I think to start with:
float bowl gasket - I never have luck being able to reuse these....
new plug - NGK-BPR7HS
I need a new cooling fan duct and gasket - existing has split
air cleaner and seal

As for 2 stroke oil - what is recommended? Something like this: Amazon Amazon - or do I need the VES version?
Polaris AGL Synthetic Gearcase Lubricant and Transmission Fluid for the crankcase
Anything else from a maintenance perspective?

Also - since this a 2004, there are no lights. Can I buy the lights for a 2005-06 and put them in?

Thanks!
Joe

Hauling with tracks

What kind of hitch bar are you guys using to haul bob sleds/box with tracks on?
Would I need a extended bar to clear the sleds hitch from tracks? Has anyone purchased one from canadian tire if available?
