I thought I read somewhere that Yamaha wasn’t providing parts for the viper anymore? I could definitely be wrong, just something I thought I read somewhere? Even though they still have parts for Nytro

Not to disagree with Maim since he probably has forgotten more then I will ever know but I’ve read a lot of threads that say to use wd-40 and not brake clean to clean out the drive shaft bearing. Don’t go crazy with compressed air, but you can also use the compressed air in conjunction with the...

As mentioned above, maybe go in with a little fine tuning and some sleeve retaining compound like loctite 660 that will take up space up to .020”

How does something like this happen? Is it because the bearing froze ( stopped turning)

Congrats on the new sled. I drive a 2011 Nytro XTX. I’m interested to see what you think of the RTX after driving it, what’s the track length on that?

Thank you, seems easy enough. I will have a look at those today. Good little video, right to the point

Are the buttons on the secondary a common wear item? I’ve heard the term before but can’t recollect exactly what they and where they are, I’m assuming I would need to take the secondary off? I’ve had the secondary off before but beyond that I don’t know. I will have a look in the manual. Thanks...

https://ty4stroke.com/threads/cam-chain-tensioner-replacement-3-cylinder-engine-05-07.90826/ Wow, I’ve only read the 1st page of 11 pages of this thread but it looks like a big enough job to change the cam chain tensioner on these 05 to 07 3 cylinder engines. I’ve changed the timing belt on my...

Thanks Maim, besides blowing them out, would it be a bad or good idea to wipe the inside of the sheaves with some brake and parts cleaner with the belt off? Or just blow and it off like you said and plan on cleaning them well in the off season, and maybe at the same time do an inspection? I will...

Thanks for all the help Maim. I just got back home maybe half an hour ago. Drive 3 hours each way to Lourdes-de-Jolliet in Quebec to look at that one I had posted with 6100km for 1900.00. He could barely get it going, starter turning but not engaging, then engaging intermittently, once it was...

I put the new belt on yesterday, seems good. This is pretty sad but I’ve never cleaned any clutches on snowmobiles or anything for that matter. I’ve watched a couple videos and may be able to figure out what I’m suooosed to be doing by watching 6 or 7 more and taking what I think is best from...

So I didn’t end up going to look at that 06 Vemture because my brake line sprung a leak on my Ram the night before I was supposed to go. True story. Literally 2 minutes after I messaged him the marketplace ad was removed, a little weird since he had it as pending for me. I never thought that I...

Just picked up my OEM belt at the dealer.

I’ve called Irwin Supply in Cornwall, going to pick up a new belt today fo 135.00 and return the Dayco that I paid 202.00 for

I looked in my records and it was a Dayco XTX5033, then I ordered a new one, then I searched and found numerous threads mentioning belts lasting 300 to 1800km on the Nytro. Seems to be the norm. Also see that the Dayco belts are garbage so I’m going to call Royal distributing in the morning and...
