That makes most sense to me, I was full of fuel but it acted like it ran out. I think I’ll replace those just to do something. Thanks for sharing that

Doubt it, mine was new at the start of the season and my original was perfect at 14,000kms anyway. Must be ecu related I’m thinking.

Did you ever find a good explanation?

Following this, I had the exact same thing thing happen this weekend. Automatically thought it was something mechanical when it lost power. Restarted it and it ran flawlessly for 500kms. Obviously nothing mechanical but I have no idea what happened.

It was hovering around freezing that day 0*C. 20-30 minutes of speeds constantly over 100kms. Sounds like heat transfer, it was the last ride of the season so I wrung it’s neck. Time to replace fluids, thanks for the feedback!

Last ride of the year on some fast trails in Northern Ontario and boot got very warm. Chain case was pretty warm and oil tank was hot enough you couldn’t keep your fingers on it. Engine temperature was good. Is all this heat transferred from the exhaust and turbo or should I be looking for...

Just catching up as I got my 50th in March 2018 and have the straight lever. Anyone who had the curved race lever and swapped to a shorty want to sell it?

Just finished my own version

Took my liner out and see that I have 4 plugs in there already so I’m wondering if taping up the other vents will make a difference. At speed I can’t even hear my snowmobile, it’s all wind. I can hear it if I turn my head sideways. I think I’m done with it!

I don’t see how you close any vents, did you tape yours or am I missing something.

I just tried your set up with the altitude and sinister goggles. I find it very noisy on the Sidewinder over 100km/he, do you experience this?

Tried fuel in carbs and had them cleaned, vacuum lines are good, will have to check that timing, I'll let you know, thanks

He's been riding it this season, parked it one night and it wouldn't start the next morning

Working on an 06 Vector for a friend. It turns over, there's fresh fuel, and lots of spark (almost too much). Compression is good (no valves open) . When it catches a bit it sounds awful. Thinking it may be a short, or ground, or ecu or crank sensor. Any other suggestions or things to look at...

Try disconnecting your battery for a few minutes to clear the memory

Make sure your deflector under your secondary isn't bent up from when the first belt blew. When decelerating from wide open throttle, your belt is loose and can hit it, catching a top cog, then delaminating. Here is how i fixed mine. Made a bracket, used a plastic body dart to attach.

Yamaha sliders with vespel inserts made by Dupont.

I use the Dupont's so the wear is pretty even. All the idlers were upgraded to the oversize ones years ago.
