ok, so with 7 hrs on machine we went to the Paiute trail in Utah. we put 14 hrs on it there. thankfully the bolt was no issue and no belt issues to report ( now I wonder if I should even have dealer replace bolt after the torture it withstood?)
we rode up to over 10500 feet, we run wide open for long distances, we did whoops, but the interesting part was the abuse and torture it took with no issues.
we come down the 10500 foot mountain and went up it in the rain, tight steep turns, rocks everywhere, mud all over the place, water pouring down the roads by the bucket full and I was thankful for engine breaking...lol...
we climbed constant for 6-7 miles 12-28 degree grades, in switchbacks, and fully loaded, 4 passengers, gear,etc from dead stop we got up to 35 mph at the top in low gear, I also ran some in high gear, we went across slick backs, up rocky revenes crawling away, got the motor so hot the plastics was near the melting point. I mean we did it all, I did reach 75 mph on flat ground once briefly. this was miles of climbing, a lot of pretty steep. all out desert flat high speed run, even asphalt runs to twisted rutted out inclined angled trails..
there was not a single issue. I must admit the whole time I was coming down a 10 000 foot mountain in near blinding rain and fog, I was not thinking about the potential bolt issue...lol.. but no issues. so we really put it thru its paces, from mild to wild..i have not a single issue, other than the reapinting of my max to dirt brown, had fun, enjoyed it and loved the max. the comfort alone is worth it. I did post a quick picture in a show us your max thread on here.
