    Rail idler wheel bearings - regrease or replace?

    I'm a re-greaser unless it's not smooth or too much play as others have said. Use Wd-40 and an air hose to clean and dry them out. Whish I could find a good source to replace the seals as I'm never sure the seal removal hasn't left a slight bend behind.

    Yeah, big no. It's still a sled worth having - just needs a reality check on the price.

    Poor handling 06 Apex GT.

    Articat shutting down

    It always starts out as temporary, just like the original Yamaha/Cat agreement to get Yamaha "over the hump". When they look at a restart there's going to have to be a compelling reason ($$) to do so.

    You need to see this!!!

    I'm not that pdiddy. If the real one had a snowmobile he'd have something to occupy his every waking moments!

    You need to see this!!!

    I'm convinced Yamaha knew how to fix the rattle but intentionally wanted some play in the stub shaft fit. I suspect it helps dissipate some torque spike or something like that. But I'm probably giving them too much credit. Could be they made too many in the first batch and didn't want to take...

    Is the winters/snow over in the UP??

    Seems the same here in the northeast. The few decent snowfalls were quickly followed by warm spells or rain. Gotta drop everything, call in sick and get out there at the drop of a hat. Here's some suggestions to use at your own risk... 1. I just put a casserole in the oven. 2. My plastic...

    I think your first instinct is on target. Can you feel any play in the drive axel bearings if you yank on either side of the axel?

    2016 RS Vector snowmobile stalling problems

    Ouch, that sounds painful even if justified. Are you the original owner? What did you run for oil?

    2016 RS Vector snowmobile stalling problems

    TORS problem? Letting off the throttle quickly is a clue.
