    Broken Chaincase Cover Bolt - Common?

    Thanks guys. I ordered a new set of replacement bolts. I was surprised that the bolt broke before the hole stripped, but on the chance that it was designed that way on purpose (to keep me from stripping the holes in the Chaincase) I'd like to retain that "feature" rather than use stronger bolts...

    Broken Chaincase Cover Bolt - Common?

    I serviced the chain case in my 2016 Viper MTX today. First time I've done it myself. Just cleaned it out and inspected, all good until reassembly. It had a slow leak so I put the newer updated gasket in (not really related). Torquing the 11 bolts back down, I used a torque wrench set to the...

    153 on trail

    Which Bogey Wheels for 162?

    I've been using my 2016 MTX 162 for utility type stuff lately and I'm burning through hyfaxs. They wear out right in the middle where there are no bogey wheels. Front and rear of the hyfax looks like new but near the rear shock is down to nothing, again. I'd like to add some wheels to help but I...

    Thanks. At least I know I'm not the only one.

    '14 Viper SE really loose handlebars. Anyone else?

    I've thought my steering was a little loose from the day I picked it up (bought used from a dealer, although only 100km on it). Life has kept it in the garage collecting dust so there's only 700km on it now, but my wife commented on the crap steering when she took it for a little loop around a...

    ANOTHER Sidewinder Bent Tunnel

    I did some practical testing with my 162 Viper this month. Bag on the tunnel that weighs 20lbs, Yamaha's "light duty" tow hitch, and a couple hundred pounds in tow. No bending or breaking. I was just towing some gear down a bumpy trail into a camping spot then fetching firewood. I was pretty...

    Does anyone ride a stock Yami anymore?

    Nah... most people I know leave their sleds pretty much stock. Exhaust is a popular thing to change, and often people add some tunnel storage, but that's the extent of a typical owner around here. Very similar to trucks. Most Tacoma's on the road are stock. Maybe a stereo, a canopy, or a...

    ANOTHER Sidewinder Bent Tunnel

    Someone posted about your reinforcement kit in another thread recently too. Will it be available for purchase any time soon?

    ANOTHER Sidewinder Bent Tunnel

    How unfortunate. I have a Viper MTX that I really needed to put some storage on for the reasons already mentioned: a little fuel and basic backcountry safety supplies. I bought the machine because of the "legendary Yamaha reliability" that I expected to give me peace of mind in the backcountry...

    Track Slides Question.. Is This Right?

    I recently picked up a nearly new '16 MTX 162" and have now put 300km on it. I was giving it a check over today (track tension etc) and noticed that the track slides do not cover the whole rail. They look a little too short to me. So the question is... does this look right to you guys? It's the...

    SRViper M-TX 162 Touring Accessories?? Help With New Toy!

    I just bought a new to me (and practically new with 109km on the odo) 2016 SRViper M-TX 162. I was shopping for one of the crossover models for the type of riding I plan on doing, but this one popped up and I couldn't resist! Now I'm looking at accessories to make it better suited to my needs...
