Good day all, I have a 2012 vector with a flakey Guage. when it isn't working, there is no backlight, display or movement of the tachometer. Everything else works and runs as expected. The tail light and head lights are working as expected. I swapped the Guage into an apex and it worked...

Hey all, Been a long time since I've been here. In the bast 2 years, I got married, bought a sled and two new sets of gear for my wife and step daughter. Hope you are all well. I'm about to go through my Viper LTX and replace all skid bearings and have everything powder coated while taken...

I am a firm believer in a good battery tender. I've had the Optimate bring back several batteries from the dead now. Mine is mounted in my trailer on the wall. I will probably get another one for the trailer break battery given the success on the sled batteries.

I read darn near every post on the subject. I am going with FAG and NTN bearing replacement bearings due to to those posts. Questions asked here have not been answered to the best of my knowledge. Pictures in one of those posts are no longer view-able. The poster needs to update his account...

Dang, I can't find a spanner wrench locally anywhere. Tried Lowe's, Home Depot, Advanced, O'Reilly and Tractor Supply. I was also looking for one that would work for this purpose? Will the 2016 part work on my 2015? Where did you get standard circlips to substitute them? What retailer...

In addition to those questions, there is a collar just in front of that baring. Do you straighten out the locking spline and unscrew that to remove? Is there a special tool to unscrew the collar? EDIT: It almost looks like a spanner wrench is required, but I have never seen one that will go...

how is the sound quality with the mic outside the mask? Any distortion or clarity issues?

Can you please post pictures on how you integrated the mic into the BV2S mask? I have ideas, but I'd like to see what is working for you.

It isn't a coil like that, but it does have the tapered edges. I can't pull the end out far enough to get it to unseat. I've tried needle nose players and a flat head screwdriver. No luck. I'm also scaring up the housing which makes me nervous...

I just ordered those bearings on eBay. Prices where good. I got my sled tore apart to the snap rings holding the old ones in. I can't figure out how to get those SOBs out since there is no holes for a snap rings tool.

I've been eyeballing the chatterbox x1 slim for a couple years. We had them back in the 90's and they had issues in heavy snow. I like the features, especially slaving a passenger to my unit. My biggest hold up for any unit is that I wear a BV2S Helmet. I'm not sure what to do with the...

By his picture, I assumed a viper. Possibly a bad assumption.

I didn't necessarily say that. Additional CCA won't hurt anything, but the cable distance from the battery to the starter are already thin and long. They probably can't carry much more than they already are. A battery alone probably won't give you anything additional. If you aren't having...

Addition of Cold Cranking Amps won't hurt anything. It is the battery's rating for how many amps it can deliver in a given time. Its really a measure of how fast the chemistry of the battery can convert chemical potential to electrical potential combined with how large the battery is. a 12v...

One more thought. Coming from the helicopter world, I can tell you most machines don't like to sit idle. We always had issues if we didn't exercise our helicopter fleet weekly. They tended to break more frequently when sitting then when being exercised. Getting all the fluids moving, lubing...
