Me too! Had a '11 Apex 128 that I liked but was in rough shape due to previous owner so sold it to buy a '16 146" that was in great condition but didn't like the feeling of driving a tour bus all the time. Sold that to pick up a mint '18 Vector 129 and can't wait to put some miles & smiles on...

Also while you're in there make sure you have the updated tensioner before putting it back together.

Probably plugged pilot jets. Gotta take them out and carefully run a wire through them unless you have an ultrasonic.

Check the sticky for Cam Chain Tensioner Replacement. Right on the first page there is timing chain info with pics from the service manual.

Keep in mind, even the 1.25 with studs will contact the rear heat exchanger without additional tunnel protection.

If it's not the injector itself it must be something telling it to stay on like the ECU or a wiring issue. Maybe you disturbed or pinched a wire during the exhaust donut job? Also just go through all the wiring connection points open and inspect, clean, and reconnect.

FYI: I believe people used to put LED's in the wiring so they could tell it the starter solenoid ever stuck on. I was going to do it at one point but never got round to it.

I would keep focused on the mechanical side. Make sure your carb throttles are all working nice and smooth. The return springs can get pretty crappy. Lube your throttle cable too.

I like your idea of freezing the shaft and heating the bearing race. I'd try to do it all in one go while the shaft is still cold. When I did mine last year I just beat them on with a deep socket like Mr Sled said. Took several attempts to get them off though. I ended up mashing the bolt heads a...

Congrats! I had a '10 LTX GT Vector. Great sled for sure.

Think of all the money they can make on fake spark plugs!

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.

They're just really responsive! (You'll love it.)

And if you're in reverse, don't bump into the throttle!
