I purchased 8DN from Hot Grips and just got off the phone with the electrical engineer. Our sleds put out 18 volts so these are a direct replacement for the oem grips. I cut my curved ends off the bars used a special epoxy glue provided with the grips. Will wire these up this afternoon and...

http://www.hotgrips.com/pdfs/sndsnoe.pdf Instructions but for using normal 3 position switch, I would like to use the cluster controls. Anyone tried thjs???

Pull the hyfax and replace after welding.

Pull the skid out and leave the rails connected, take to a welder and it will be good as new. Check a few other parts while it is out and grease it all up. The install back into the sled is really fast.

Should I tie the two hot wires going into the harness together?

I am about to wire up Hotgrips to my Nytro. The grips are to be installed in series with a couple of 1 ohm 10 watt resistors Can I wire the hot wire to only one of the wires going into my wire harness. Meaning the stock warmers use the left side of the harness and the right side. Or do I tie...

Try a Cat dealership, I know the rear axle is compatible with the Cat ones. Straps should be easy.

I have my Hot Grips installed the easy part. These grips must be installed in series which means one grip wire is connected to the other grip wire. One grip wire goes to ground and the other goes to Hot. BUT first put 2 (1 ohm, 10 watt resistors together or 4 I am not 100% sure. Can I run...

This is a know problem with our sleds, check for previous posts on this topic one of them has good pictures. One of my buddies had really bad issues for almost an entire season until they found the rub. I used a water hose cut in half and protected the wires. You can use a small dermal tool...

I replaced my ignition switch $55.00 on my 09' this year. However I think my relays could also be getting weak I have not changed them over to the red ones yet. Hope to source them today at local auto shop. By the way if you don't swap over to your spare ignition key from time to time it will...

First ride of 2016 and my 12v rear mounted turbo oil pump failed. This one does not have the rubber boot. Who else makes a pump that I can install? Can the MPI pump be re-built. This failed after sitting all summer, could this have been prevented? NAPA has a fuel pump that is similar but...

Got the install completed and far simpler than I thought it would be. My first ride was great, lighter steering, quick turns and the sled carved and handled like a new sled. Camber and caster are a nice thing to be able to now adjust. Peter who makes and sells these is great at answering...

We chased a similar problem and found it to be the wiring harness rub was cutting out a injector. Inspect the harness down low by the clutches, it took a year to find this issue.

Check your spindle lower ball joints. If they are shot it will be real hard to turn, I have changed mine out twice. Raise the front off the ground and check for play.

I just did my 153" MTX after another weekend of tons of ice build up riding in deep snow. I only did 36" from where my tunnel side heat exchanger is located to just short of the bumper. Had to get the under the tunnel muffler exit welded so that it had a 90 degree turn towards the track...
