not sure
Sorry didn't recognize text last night John (hadn't yet loaded new # into new phone),,, reply sent back today should explain why,, looks clean from what I could see,, DEFINITELY go with AG's LT mod ASAYC!!,, really the only improvement needed for that sled and everyday trail riding

I only paid 500 for it. how could I go wrong?
needs right side a-arms, the shock and two ski's.
gonna change the track before winter. is there a 1.25 Cobra available for a 97 ZRT? :chug:
yep, that was me!

For that amt of stuff,, i'd immediately start talking with AG
And yes,, 1.352,, but,, the addt'l .127" is only the very corner "stubs" on the lugs,, so it truly performs like a 1.25'r,, it's fully clipped, all windows open and weighs 37lbs,, not too shabby imo

now, i removed the bent a-arms, the bent shock and unhooked the stabilizer bar and everything turns free. nothing wrong with the spindle, nothing is binding in the rack! < glad of that!
i have one major concern: there is raw oily gas leaking where the pipe meets the exhaust manifold, I had this condition on the 95 ZR 700 i had and for the life of me, i cannot remember what i did to fix it!
Ideas? carbs were sync'ed by a good Cat dealer last winter. fires up on the first pull, and has 150 psi compression on all 3 holes.
cool! i'll look into it.

i was told, that a 1.25 track with studs will not clear the heat exchanger?
what about a 1 inch track with studs? :chug:

Got a set of right side control arms off my 96 ZRT 600 that will work. $45 shipped to your door for the right upper and lower. If you want all 4 $65 shipped to your door.

There are gaskets inside the flange where the pipe meets. They need to be replaced.

no thanks, i am going AGLT..... :chug:
all apart! seat went to get recovered this morning, and i found a Coolant leak at the water pump, so i am gonna rebuild it. at least she let me know in my shop and not out on the trail somewhere, 100 miles from home. it'll only cost about 70 bucks for peace of mind.
i looked at the pistons thru the exhaust ports and can see why compression is so good. they do look new- not a scratch!
I am considering pulling the Engine and degreasing everything and repainting under the hood. I think it will be easier to raise the steering assembley with the engine out. i need to shim up the rack to maintain proper steering geometry and eliminate bump steer that will come with the AGLT mod. all it takes is a few washers under the rack mounts and re-install the bolts. also eliminates play in the bars.
I also did a thorough cleaning of the carbs and airbox.
i ordered new carb boots and the rubber boots that connect the carbs to the airbox, they were cracked and torn.
she is a hurting unit right now though, LOL, but overall i am super happy with the condition of the chassis. no cracks or dents.

Don't forget to check the carb boots on the otherside of the carb. for cracks. If they are cracked and suck air you will burn her down. Something that old should at the least be looked at. Sometimes you have to flex and bend them to see the cracks if they are just starting. Just found some off e-bay perfect-no cracks at all for $20.00 to my door. I get lucky once in awhile.

I hear ya on the boots. I did a good inspection of every thing on the sled. i know what cracked ones do. these are cracked, but not all the way thru. buying brand new ones anyway.
motor is out. it was easy! mount near the secondary clutch was broke....thanks for jinxing me C-Note!!! LOL!
now i gotta go search and find info about raising the steering rack! :chug:

Go to search box at the bottom of the topic page and type in: (zrt 800 aglt) Its all in there. I already did a write up on it that has pictures and schematics and explains everything you will need. If you can't find it let me know and I will bump the topic up to the top so you can read it. Very very simple to do!!!
