I picked up a 12 500HO with only a couple hundred miles on it, i currently have an 01 500HO.
What should i be looking at for making this as reliable as my old one? and what are some common issues. Do the steering post handle bar mounts still need to be beefed up? i lost one on my 01, also i heard some issues with rear axles? are they that much weaker than the older ones? Also a-arm weld failures, is the 500HO affected or is that just the XP. I have a few months before the season so i wanna get as much taken care of as i can, cause where im going theres no one for miles and no cell service.
