    USA 2009 Pro XS 250 Possible Motor Mount Issue

    I notice the other day that there seem to be a some play in the motor. The S/N on the motor is 1B735744 Nov of 2008 250XS L. I have pulled the bottom cowel and really can not see anything. I have a camera that I will put in the spot where the mounts. What should I see if there is an issue? I can send a video clip not sure i can add to post.

    Mine broke a couple years ago. Have a pro look at it. If it is indeed broke, i would try your insurance. I have State Farm and they covered the repairs.

    Normally, if you will tilt it up to about 1/2" off the short trim rams (just above the TRIM range), you would note that grabbing the gearcase and rocking up-and-down produced substantial movement (much more than one might expect), if the upper mounts (or adapter plate/clamp plate) were damaged.

    I would still recommend having a trained technician inspect it.
