I believe my 08 Apex came with a 6" riser on it. I added one inch a fairly cheap way. I bought a Powermadd 1 inch riser block. I ground off the black coating and trimmed it to fit with the stock trim ring around the base of the handle bar. I then went to Fastenal to purchase metric threaded rod...

This same thing happened to my apex last year. My problem was the paint wore off the bracket and the steel contacting aluminum corroded and caused the leak. I took it off, flushed it out and tried welding it. It is very thin material and difficult to do. Plus like someone stated, you can't have...

I synced my carbs a number of years ago. I bought the Morgan Carbtune tool and it worked really well. Somewhat tedious but worth the effort. I don't think a do-it-yourself version had been posted yet when I did mine.

That sounds about right. I was thinking a rear shock upgrade would be a huge improvement. Does the Fox shock allow for weight transfer. she really likes to raise the skis on takeoff.

I have an 05 RX1 and an 08 Apex. If the mono shock suspensions are the same, then why is the RX1 lower up front? in the rear suspension, the limiter strap on the RX1 has a big curve in it at rest, while the Apex strap is nearly taught. The RX1 has nearly 12K miles and definitely used to ride...

I have a sled that needs a new track because of a side tear. I have a used track and the only problem with it is where the driver cogs contact the tract. On one side and down one row inside next to the windows there are 2 sections where the driver lugs are about half gone for 5 lugs. This sled...

I just changed over this year to a Cobra track. I like it more and more everyday. I'll agree that on hard pack it may not have as much traction as a Ripsaw, although, I definitely like it on loose trail and in the powder. I just got back from Ontario and I could run Powder without too much...

If this is the problem, can I clean the filter or do I have to replace it?

I have a 2008 Apex GT with just over 4K miles. My wife has complained of my exhaust smelling before. Some of you may remember a thread I started termed 'smelly exhaust'. I just returned from a weekend of riding and had a few guys giving me feedback. They explained that it smelled like burnt oil...

Have you driven one of these 4-strokes brand new before? They tend to be pretty tight at first and it takes somewhere from 1000-2000 miles before they loosen up. a clutch kit would be the answer. If you are an agreesive rider and want to tap the brake or let off the throttle and have it...

You know the only time last weekend that they said it was better was when I ran seafoam. I thought it might have been me actually chilling out on the throttle. I'm not sure I want to get into running an additive like that full time because of the cost. Unless, I can split a pint into 4 tank...

I've ran a bunch of different fuels from 87 at a store in the woods to 93 at Shell and Mobil. Nothings seemed to matter. It's probably a bit rich. Is it possible to change that without adding a Power Commander or similar product? Is it set like that so when it's really fricken cold that it...

Nope, haven't had any coolant loss either.

I own a 40th anniv. Apex GT and was wondering if anybody has had people that ride behind them complain of exhaust smell? I don't smell anything unusual at idle. I thought it was something during break in, but it hasn't changed. I don't burn oil and I get pretty good gas mileage. If I go easy on...

I tried the parallel idea at the start of the season. I must have remembered something wrong on how to set it up. All I did was fry a fuse and it never worked. I put the wires back. Thanks for you input. I think my wife will be excited about the new handlebars next year. I like the idea better...
