Attaboy! :Rockon: :4STroke: G man

Hardly all the RX1's. Believe me when I tell you that this is very rare. Most will never see what the inside of an RX1 motor looks like. I just posted the pic for the novelty of it. :4STroke: G man

No, not the same one. Lots of oil etc... in unit. Mechanical failure.

All we know is the con rod cap is sticking out the hole (see pic) and the bolts are nowhere to be seen. Con rod bolts either broke or were loose and backed out. Not allowed to dis-assemble it. Have to crate it and return it to You-Know-Who! They did give us a drop-in to replace it. Also, the...

Here's a pic of the block of an '05 RX1 that decided to launch the mag side con rod! Yikes! G Man

Try not to bash me too bad after you read this, but here's some fun... Race: You get the idea of how it works? ...This is how it works. Cost plus 10%(to cover the shipping) on parts and flat rate tables for labour that are comical. Your dealer gets paid barely a fraction of the time it takes...

I have not tried this sender with another guage, but I think it should work o.k.. Here is a pic.

Hi Mikey. Thanks for posing the question. I should have given a little more detail as to why I chose that particular spot. If you follow your coolant flow on the RX engine, you will see that the coolant flows into the metal pipes out of the cylinder head. The coolant then travels down the...

VT.RX1. 11500-12000 ???? I bow at your ski tips ! That is something incredible. I'm thinking if that's all the problems you've had, you have done well. I think it's safe to say there are very few brands out there that will ever see those digits turn over on their speedo ! :shock: Keep the...

Bob: I don't have any pics right now, but I will tell you what I have used. Faria Marine instruments temperature guage. We use these in marine I/O applications. The sender clamps to the coolant pipe off of the cyl. head and is very accurate. EZ to install and no mods to coolant system. The guage...

Times, they are a' changin'. Is it possible the all knowing, all seeing, bat cave dwelling, new word creating, prediction making Supertrax guys could finally acknowledge what we have known all along ? (Yamaha is pretty **** excellent) It could happen. :D

After looking at the prices listed with turbo kits installed, it almost appears as though the CPR turbo kit and its installation gets paid for ahead of time out of the customers pocket. (The deposit) The remaining amount looks like the value of the sled to be financed. P.S. It looks to me like...

A not too expensive option is to use Viper blades. Swaps over to RX-1 skis in minutes. Less keel underneath maintains way better control in deep snow. Deep keel in deep snow equals a handful. Another small benefit is the shallower keel drops your front end down a smidgen.(Where did I get that...

Welt O.K. Think about each ride on both sleds. What would you consider the most obvious difference in the way yours handled compared to your friends ? "Handled" is a very general term. But I mean the main thing you feel you are fighting while pushing hard.

All right guys, I'm sorry. Welt: After running both sleds back to back, do you have ideas on how to apply what you learned about the differences between the two sleds to the RXW ?
