Well got mine done by my local upholestry and they did it for 65 so I guess I didn't do bad. Have about 350 seat time and its the best mod I've ever done. If I ever trade or whatever and its a Apex I'm making swapping seats part of the deal. It's that good.

Thanks alot everyone and Apexrider your spot on. Anything I need to know I just check here. I thought for sure my trip was done. I got the answer here before mt dealer could get me off hold. Thanks everyone and the sled was fully serviced at the beginning of the year and only got a 1000 miles so...

I'm up at camp and today riding I got a OIL with a 0082 then OIL 0110 flashing in the odometer area. I checked the oil and its full maybe slightly a hair above the full mark. Sled runs fine. Any help is greatly appreciated. Sled is a 2011 Apex SE :o| :o| :o|

The guy up in Ft Kent drinks way to much. Nice people up there but definately not informed about alot of things when it comes to the Yamaha 4 strokes. Several years ago I was in there and overheard a customer with a problem and the mechanic wasn't giving any good advice. I jumped in and told him...

Well adjusted my EXUP and it was off a little but not bad. I do wonder if the little the EXUP was out of adjustment if it robbed any power?? Anyone have experience with that? I'm gonna also mess around with my HC 2 speeds. I may try the O-P-O spring instead of the HC black and see how it does. I...

I'm wondering how tight it should be for high speed. Right now I have roughly 3/4 of a inch sag with the sled off the ground. I'm not worried about slider issues have excel wheels and duponts. Also wondering if the dupont slides may be robbing some speed??? Sled rolls easily tilt my trailer and...

So I always hear that a loose track is best for speed but not to loose cause the track will balloon as speed increases. I've also heard tight is faster but I will say I don't hear it as much as I hear people say a loose track is faster. Guess the magic question is how loose or how tight? As...

With the newer Apex what are people finding to be the sweet spot for track tension? had dealer install duponts and I'm now thinking the track might be a little tight from how I had my other Apexes. If i remember right with sled jacked up there was very little sag in the track untouched. I may...

The best I have ever seen on gps with this sled is 107 this year. I havent changed anything other than a new belf. My other Apexes would easily do in the low to high 110 plus on gps. I had the dealer check out the adjustment in the exup. I have a Ulmers clutch kit and the same kit worked in my...

Anyone use this setup yet? Just ordered mine yesterday and I'm hoping to get it and install it by next weekend. How did it compare to the stock setup? Hoping its a worth wild mod. How hard is it to remove the seat on the newer Apex? Removed my seat from my other Apex when I traded seats with...

Set transfer rod to max also don't just hammer it to the bar when launching cause you'll just blow the track out like you did. More studs will help but even then throttle control at launch can make or break with the torque these sleds have. I will say though a modded good setup F7 will give you...

What have most found to be the ideal rpms for the newer Apexes? I know in my older Apexes they seemed to like 10800 area but wondering what people are finding with the newer Apex. Right now I'm at 10500 to 10600 and this was on some real hard firm trails in Maine. Was even seeing 10400ish area...

I'd still add some tunnel protectors don't wanna throw a stud threw your front heat exchanger trust me I've done it twice now and its normally not good. BTW how is the riding up in your neck of the woods? I just cancelled my annual trip to Sinclair for this coming weekend. Hoping this weather...

The 06s had issues and there was a updated chaincase cover. Never heard of this though. The issue was the original cover would heat up when running hard and suck the gasket inside the cover which then let all the oil drain out destroying your chaincase most of the time. Had this happen to my 06...

Your opinion and you have a choice. Don't buy the dam insurance. If you were driving your car down the road and the hood deflector you installed fly off cause you just hit a animal which broke your deflector and then caused you to lose control and hit a tree totaling your truck would you suck it...
