Funny you should mention that because yamaha specifically recommends NOT to start your sled during storage.. They outline in bold that it is counter active and will actually increase the amount of acids in the oil and motor. Now with a 2 stroke, it would be fine to start it once or twice a...

Back to the subject of summarization of our sleds.. Who else besides me and mr.shide fog their motors?? Is there any reason not to.. Seams like a good idea to coat everything inside the motor with some oil and its a relatively easy process...

Got em. It wasn't too bad I just didn't want to pound the hell out of the wheels and then find out there was something I didn't see holding them on. Once I hit em with a little force, they came off, I'll put a little never seize on when I put it back together, hopefully it'll make em easier to...

This will be the first time I stored this apex, but I ALWAYS fogged my rx-1 and any other engine I store for an extended period of time. Does anyone else do this, maybe its not needed with the 4 strokes but I also DON'T start the motor during storage, yamaha makes it clear that this is not a...

Thanks guys, I just wanted to make sure there wasnt something I was missing before I hammer the bell out of em, If I gotta get new wheels when Im done I will, just didn't want to ruin them for no reason.. Thanks...

Anyone?? Im sure enough guys have taken these apart... I don't see what is holding them on

Im taking my skid apart to send in for the beef up kit but I can't get the top idler wheels off the upper suspension arm, how do they come off???

Bummer... At least its the end of the season, not the beginning..

Oh ya, they need to warm up for several minutes. The engine won't respond well until the coolant and oil are good and warm...

let us know what they find

Never heard of the zurich warranty but I know you can get a yes warranty off ebay for much less than that. You can get one from any yamaha dealer and there are dealers selling them on ebay. Also, I know with the YES you have to decide how many years you want and thats it, once you get it, you...

LOL. I know fuel contaminates oil no matter what if its running but it runs much richer and is unable to burn off as much of the fuel when the motor is cold and the plugs are not loaded. You are correct that fuel IS corrosive to bearings in the motor, thats why its important to change the oil...

So do ya think $850 is a good price?? Im not sure of the miles but the seller said it needs nothing... How hard is it to adjust it from 121 to 136 ?? new to me...

Also a possibility.. not as common from my experience as the drive shaft breaking but definatly a possibility. Its easy to look at the drive shaft and see if its broken. If not, Id definatly look inside the chain case.. However the fact that this happened at a time of slight break engagement...

Heres a copy and paste from that page so you don't even have to look for it. However the actual page on ulmers site has pics too so you know what wire to put the paper clip or wire ground to. Stealth MOD Air Box The Yamaha Genesis 150FI motor is the first fuel injected Yamaha snowmobile...
