In my expirience, whenever I've rolled my Sportsman over, oil dumps into the air box. Last time it soaked the air filter and I had to replace it. I would also check the oil level since it's hard to tell how much dumped out.

My 20 year old son is finaly back from a year in Iraq. He wanted to play on my new vinson. After some "agressive" snow play,he flipped it. After he spit out the tooth chips & blood,and got himself together a bit,he got the vinson back on four wheels(upsidedown for five minutes). It had leaked some oil from the snorkle. After cranking over for a while it started. it seems harder to start now,and wont idle as smooth. It also smokes a bit. When I give it any throttle,it seems fine. Should I just ride it-is there any thing I should check???? Just wondering. BTW-We borrowed a friends honda four-trax so we would both have somthing to ride. We had to keep a rope on the front of the honda because it would get stuck so often . The Vinson pulled itself,and the honda along! Pretty cool
