    Broken Spring on Rouski... Who's changed one?

    Hi there! I have had these for years, without issue, but found a droopy wheel when I was loading the sleds last week. I was able to get a replacement spring, but all my searches have shown no info on replacing it. I have the contraption off the sled, and ready to tear into it, but I'm sure...

    C R racing 37" 3" forward control arms. Will this make my trail sled unbearable?

    Hi guys, been away a while, with no PC... And I've googled myself silly. I'm in the market for a 2nd Nytro. Pickings are pretty slim. I found an XTX 1.75 with most of what I want, but... When an arm was taken out by a tree, this narrow front end setup was installed, with mountain skis. So, is...

    So.... Anyone using an aftermarket starter relay?

    I got quoted $84 and a week to 10 day wait. It's a simple solenoid, no real reason for it to be overpriced, or out of stock. Or not cheaply replicated for that matter. Off to Partzilla!

    So.... Anyone using an aftermarket starter relay?

    Mine is on the way out. Here in Canuckistan, my dealer can order it, and I get it in a week or so, for a ridiculous price. We really get worked here. I tried the Amazon alternative, and it worked fine, until that time it locked closed, and my starter ran continuously, until I disconnected the...

    Tunnel Blockoff for icing

    Hi, thanks for the replies... I was thinking specifically about the Grizztracks plate. If I recall correctly, the tunnel protectors are about 12" apart, so maybe 14" total, with flanges bent at an inch? What gauge are people using? I'm going to get the sled out of the shed this weekend, was...

    Tunnel Blockoff for icing

    OK, so I'm about to get going on making a block-off, and since I have no access to my sled to measure it, or a brake to bend it, I'm going to call a metal place to have a piece of aluminum cut and bent. What gauge are people using, and did anyone measure where the bends go? Thanks in advance...

    Mountaintech AND Splitrails?

    Did a pretty wide search, and a BUNCH of good reading, and... I'm wondering if anyone has run with both the Split Rail skis and 43/2" Mountaintech arms. It's my understanding that the Split Rail knuckles changed the steering geometry, wondering how this interacts with the Mountaintech modified...

    2007 Apex won't start cold. ( -20 C -5 F)

    Ok, I browsed ~50 pages last night, (not much else to do when it's -30c!) looking for ALL the info I could find. I'm hoping to find any NEW or relevant info on how to make this sled start reliably in the cold. Without a hair dryer, or pouring hot water on it, or... Y'know. All the stuff that's...

    Quick 1" seat lift

    Gotta get off my "seat" and do this. Now that I got the bar risers on, I need to raise my butt.

    heater visor plug

    Those adapters and the circuit in general will have you learning new curse words. I wired in a proper pigtail. I use the "lighter" receptacle for an twinned extension cord, into my handlebar bag for the phone, and anything else I want to keep charged and running.

    Rear Storage/Luggage

    If you use the Yamaha method of attachment on anything other than perfectly groomed trails, bring bungee cords.

    Wahl driver install question, yes, I've searched... And searched!

    Not quite on center, but after 150 kilometers, nothing is rubbing, or threatening to fall off. The wahl specs were followed. If it starts to wear funny after a while, I'll adjust it with an air hammer!

    Wahl driver install question, yes, I've searched... And searched!

    Well, from first glance, post assembly, it looks like my track is out of alignment. Looks like I've got more track on the chain case side than the clutch side. I'm wondering if I should play with the adjusters, or beg Northernsledder to borrow his awesome adjuster tool... Or just drive the...

    Wahl driver install question, yes, I've searched... And searched!

    Found your awesome tool in another post. Showed it to my machine shop pal when we were at his shop trying to decipher the confusing directions on the Wahl website, and several other threads with conflicting information... Seriously hoping I don't have to go back there and have him help make one...
