Where's the leak?? 2010 Skidoo renagade 1200. changing the oil tank.

a buddy of ours brought his 2010 skidoo 1200 over with a mystery oil leak. it looks like the plastic oil tank is the culprit...unfortunately I have to take the entire machine apart to fix it! as always thanks to our buddy Brett Leier for our music and Nick Dart for all of our stickers and the wicked wrap for this sled.

This is by far and away my favorite channel on KZbin. I just find myself laughing at your comments you make while making repairs. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

Wow you must love your buddy, what a giant pain in the ass that was for what should've been a simple fix! Nice job Pete

As always, great work. I was particularly impressed by the cleaning of the well before putting the engine back in. Most places wouldnt even bother. Going that extra little bit just shows the dedication :) I gotta make my way to Peterborough with my sled :P You are smarter than a lot of guys in the industry. Call pro shops for different things and you get a LOT of "I dont knows."

I'm a tech at a dealership in the u.s. and I just had to do one of these. Resealed the tank and reinstalled engine, once I started machine and ran it on a stand at 50mph the tank pressurized and popped the orings on the tank again. Took engine back out and found scoring on the oil suction pump causing the circulation of the oil system to over pressurize the oil tank. Had to replace oil pump and I rings and reseal oil tank and everything worked out again. Not too bad of a job except when you have to do it twice

Just finished replacing my oil tank too. It sure is a pain in the arse.

[@bradleycramer612]

I think the ones on the header bolts that are hard to get off I think the header slotted that they just slide in behind that that's how it used to be on the older ones

[@pauldionne2884]

If it's any consolation, Yamaha can't make an oil tank that doesn't leak either. Despite using aluminum they mounted it to the frame and the constant flexing does it's thing to make them leak at the seams. Fortunately, they're easy to get to, some JB Weld and good to go.

[@honeyman71962]

It's a damn shame that you can't get that oil tank made out of aluminum seems like it would last a lot longer and it would be a much tougher tank and as far as the o-ring Go they might leave on an aluminum tank well there's really no way to know but I would try to have an aluminum tank made heck you might make a mint at aluminum tanks replacement .

[@mazdarx7887]

the skidoo 2 bangers were as good as any other out there as long as you throw away the oil tank and mix yer gas as soon as it comes off warranty
