Hey guys, for those of you that wear moto X style helmets I have a quest. I have on order the Shoei Yamaha helmet that mathes the rx-1. I chose that over the bombardier bv2s. Anyhow, I have the goggles and the helmet picked out, but I now need a nose peice and a nice fitting face mask...

The Part # you want for the Rx-1 is 'H4' It says they are motorcycles/off road use on the box. I too just put these in my sled as well as in my mustang. Great bulb, really is a true white. Ypu don't ntoice how "yellow" your lights are until you compare. I picked them up at Murray's on sale for...

Yamaha admits that the zerks were an overlook on the monoshock rear suspension. They told my dealer this at the tech update and said they MIGHT cover the cost on installing them If people complained enough. I certainly didn't wait for that to happen and had them install I think 4 zerks. It...

Did anyone find out any information on these tips? Any links on the web or pictures? Thanks

Where did you buy your bulbs at welterracer?

I'm confused on what fuel octane to run in my stock 05. I read on an earlier post that premium fuel is not recommended, yet the owners manual says to run 89 or higher. I have always thought the higher the octane 89 vs. 93, the cleaner It burned. Also, with riding in northern MI I've always...

No, I didn't receive one, I got my sled earlier like Later July. I should find out about getting one.

Hey guys, I'm curious to what you have done or what you would recommend on me doing to my 05' rx-1. I'm tall about 210 lbs, and like a more stiff suspension (hate bottoming out) and I don't mind some good weight transfer to get the skis off the ground :D . I'm assuming yamaha has the the rear...

Hey guys, I'm picking my sled up next week from the dealer after getitng some accessories installed, so I can now get my Simmons skis on. The dealer says they really don't have a need for my stock skis to buy back from me. So, my question is this: What do I do with the stock skis and carbides...

quote="NEED SNOW"]blue05rx1,,, said his dealer is installing zerks on his for about $ 100. If they put them in the right places thats not to bad of a deal... That's correct. At first Service told me around $60, then after the tech update he thought It would take a few hours ($60/hour I...

I agree, this was a surprise to me when I picked up my sled, and is something I'm not impressed with from yamaha. This was a big overlook, and I can almost bet that thge 06's will have zerks. I'm currently having my dealer install zerks on my sled right now, costing me $80-100 bucks or so...

Thoought I would add a little more insight to this. That price doesn't include the "cutting carbides." I just ordered a pair from him (should be showing up today). I got blue skis, with black strap, and 4 (four) 4" cutting carbides shipped for $ 380. For what I got It still seems to be a...

I'm ready to order a set of Simmons for my Rx-1, but I'm not sure what to get for carbides. I ride in northern lower MI, on groomed trails, but also off trail on un-touched snow. Probabaly 60% trail, 40% off. I consider myself to be somewhat of an aggressive rider, I'm still a young guy at 21...

Thanks for your advice/help greenmachine. Mrsled I'm not exactly sure what color I want to go with on the sreens, but I will keep you in mind if I go white.

Are they very hard to install yourself? These are just particularly mountain skis? I ride in northern lower MI on and off trail, but no out west riding. Also as far as the carbides go I see you can get the standard (2) two flat ones, or one "cutting" one standard, or 2 "cutting". Do you guys...
