I have been using Mobile 1 0W 40 since my first oil change. I use a Wix 51356 filter. It is the same as the 51358 listed above except it is slightly larger. I believe about 0.4 inch longer. Yes it will fit. It’s the same filter that is on my Mazdaspeed Miata. I went to the larger filter so I...

Doing the math 22/48 gears will give you an additional 6 mph. That might not seem like much but if you intend to keep the factory tall lug mountain track, your goal of spinning that track at 90 miles an hour on stock horsepower is not realistic. New chains are expensive. 22/48 gears will allow...

Throttle on top? I’m trying to visualize that. Driving with the throttle handle facing forward could be dangerous. In almost all forms of snowmobile racing that use ISR rules the use of a forward facing throttle is prohibited. The theory is that the if the rider looses balance and falls...

Some of us are lucky enough to only have to wait a couple of months to get that next ride in.

I love those mornings when the frost is all over the trees.

As I recall it’s not that hard to remove the fuel tank. Empty the fuel tank out in to a clean 5 gallon bucket. (Or two) Slowly pour the fuel back off into the tank and look for water standing in the bottom of the bucket. Gas and water do not mix. The water is heavier so it will remain at the...

I didn’t buy the Stingray clutch kit but I do have a set of the flat profile magnetic adjustable weights which I believe are made by the manufacturer as the weights that are in the Stingray kit. I’m going to say that so far the jury is still out. A flat profile weight is going to be less...

Or water in the intake. You may have ingested enough snow that it was able to get by the snow screens. Pull the upper pod and the air box off and see if you see moisture.

I trail ride a 141 MTX. I am a 75/25 on/off trail rider. I assume you have addressed the clutching and gearing. If not there is way more untapped capability in your Viper. The heavy steering is a well-known problem on the MTX and XTX Vipers. Easily corrected with a stiffer front skid shock...

You were on the right track by going to the hardware store. I wouldn’t run a bolt without a nut on the other side with Loctite. The nut and bolt pictured in the photo is about 3.8 grams heavier than the heaviest rivet that Yamaha makes. It’s been several years but to my recollection they were...

I looked through all of the emojis but could not find a face palm. I am absolutely convinced that you do not need the Hygear linkage to have a good riding 141 suspension. I am a strongly advocating that you DO need a high-quality adjustable coilover rear shock. Too many people buy the linkage...

Another option that is probably at a similar price point and would also be a significant upgrade: Send a photo of your damaged shock to Cannondale and inquire about upgrading to an EVOL. The damaged part of your shock would be replaced. Fox air shocks aren’t inherently bad once you step up from...

The Float 3 without an EVOL is terrible. The zero pro shock will be an improvement but it’s still a mediocre upgrade. It doesn’t have any clicker dampening adjustments. Spend a little more and get a QS3. I went another step up the shock ladder from the QS3 and spent $625 for a custom valved X2...

I purchased the same SP1 sway bar quick disconnect as you did and mine lasted less than 50 miles. It broke in the same place as yours did. The word needs to get out to all of our TY brothers that this product is a good idea but not quite ready for prime time in its current design.
