    What is this plastic piece?

    The little plastic I’ve circled is busted on one side and want to replace it but I can’t find it on a parts diagram. It’s the black plastic piece the push pin goes through. If anyone knows a part number that would be great.

    HID headlight issue driving me crazy

    Does anyone remember what the bulb types are that these sleds run? I want to order a replacement and can’t get to the sled atm. Also do you think I need two new ballasts or just the one that goes out first?

    HID headlight issue driving me crazy

    Okay so before I just rip the dash out and install a 40” light bar to be dramatic someone tell me why my hids hate me this year. I installed a set of ddm tuning hids two years ago in my 2010 vector that worked great until the end of last season. When you start the sled they both fire up then...

    In line coolant heater

    You don't have any problems with the plugs there by your footwell? I feel like I'd be snagging those all the time on my sled.

    In line coolant heater

    Interesting. Did you splicevthem together or are you running two extension cords?

    In line coolant heater

    My theory would be to tap the starter for a couple seconds every hour for a few hours to rotate the coolant. Assuming there's a pump that should get it rotated a little bit.

    In line coolant heater

    I like the ride when it starts. Starting it is the only complaint I have. When it ate the starter (original with 3000 miles on it) I had the sled hooked up to with jumpers to my truck to make sure it had enough juice. My usual start problem is the stupid oil light being on despite the thing...

    In line coolant heater

    I wouldn't choose to ride in -50 but there's been several times I've had to. The problem with a battery tender is it wouldn't provide any heat to the motor. At -50 those engine blocks are not happy to be turned over. Ate my starter and stripped the gears. Trying to avoid a repeat of that. Also...

    In line coolant heater

    Yeah that's what I'm talking about. I have one on my apex and vector works like a charm. Is the Vipers coolant hose larger and therefore it wouldn't work? I figured someone on here would have already tried this and could post the results

    No ones tried this? Or if i went and looked at the sled would I realize this is a dumb question?

    In line coolant heater

    Has anyone put one of the in line coolant heaters in their viper? If so does it work on really cold night like it does on Apex and vectors? Trying to figure out a way to not have to worry when it's -50 next winter.

    2011 Apex XTX gas mileage

    My issue was chain got put in but the oil didn't lol. Actually it had a small crack that it ran out of, once that case got super warm from running it apparently was killing the gas mileage. They don't put oil in there for its looks.

    Called a different dealer just dropped the sled off. Now time to go play on the Apex. Goal is still 500 miles for the weekend.

    Starter change....need help

    The irony is they have always been good to me but they're a small emphasis small dealer. They've only sold 3 vipers and aren't aware of the starter issues.
