Dear All,
Thanks for the replies and aye Alainm, I do have the Users and Workshop manuals for a 2007 - 2008 model, .pdf format.
The owner reckons that it's a 2006 model and, with it being a Summit, it 's fitted with a combined Tacho. / speedo. with the speed shown on the LCD display. As the Mode button is broken the display shows "01h29" which I can only assume relates to an engine run time of 1 hour - 29 minutes with it having incremented to "01h32" with the engine running. Since every other function works I'm going to leave as is and fit a LCD Digital Inductive Tacho./ Hour meter with the pick up wire wrapped round the spark plug lead.
Next task is to replace the belt and driven pulley and jack up the rear to lift the track off the floor then check the LCD displays speed with the track spinning, for safety the garage door will be open and all clear in the front.
As for that Rotax engine, it would be better suited in the frame of a racing motorcycle than an off road winter bike, is there a racing class for these 800cc Skidoos ?
I've never been a two stroke fan having raced air cooled Yamahas and Suzukis and experienced the smell of burning leather when the little beggars nipped up and too slow with the clutch hand.
Little wonder the fatality rate was so high within the motorcycle Grand Prix fraternity of the 1960's '- 70's.
Thanks again Lads, now back to fettling Ducatis, a more enjoyable experience !!
