I bought a really clean 04 RXP with only 109 hours. The person I bought it from told me the supercharger was rebuilt at 80 hours. Oil looked clean and it seemed he kept up with all maintenance and was stored in his basement after being winterized every year. I was wondering if I should go ahead...

Hey guys, I was just skimming my 2002 GTX DI manual as I do at the beginning of every year and noticed that Bombardier recommends adding their spray lubricant in the Air Intake Silencer. Ahhh, I've never, ever, done this. Do you guys? If so, whoops. How often I am supposed to be doing...

Hi, I am trying to lube the PTO Flywheel but my grease gun tip is too fat to fit into the small space between the zerk fitting and the side of the flywheel. The auto parts store did not have any grease guns or fittings with smaller profiles. Is there a special fitting required for this...
