2011 Hammerhead Twister 250ss

[mikesova@gmail.com]

I decided to pick this buggy up because it seemed like an ok deal for a 250 with high low, IRS, reverse, liquid cooling, etc. It's a little rough, but ran and drove, high, low and reverse worked. It was 950 bucks.



Kind of rough looking.

The previous owner wired up the fan directly to a switch and someone had left it on and wore it out. So it will need a fan. I began disassembling and cleaning it up. I noticed that part of the flex pipe on the exhaust seems to be slightly messed up and the muffler is dented up. I figured I'd put together a parts list of things I need to order for it. I noticed that replacement exhausts for this buggy seem to be made of unobtanium, which is a bummer. Any ideas on where to acquire them?

Also, the PO had replaced what I assume was an electric choke with a manual choke. Would that have been hooked up to a sensor with a single flat solderless connection on the engine?

Here's what it looks like right now after some of the tear down.

Here is my other current question:

1. The PO was only running one fan on the back, but it originally came with two, I believe. Should I replace both or is there a recommendation for an aftermarket solution that is better? Also, I plan on replacing the sensor on the radiator which is probably what the problem was in the first place that caused him to wire the fan to direct power.

I know this is a little late but JD can make you an exhaust and mine constantly had overheating problems with both fans runing. Some people have used honda civic radiators and fan but i dont like how they had to mount them.
