They have made some of the Aprilia motorcycle engines.
They designed the new Volvo V8 they might build it too
In the past the SHO Taurus motors, and I think the Toyota Celica also.
I wouldnt be surprised if they had a hand in the new 400+HP Lexus IF motor.
I think Doo is hedging their bets 2 ways.
1. If the e-tec DI is the ultimate, then why offer a 4 stroke 1200?
2. The DI 600 in theory should have the power (or close to) the 600 HO
but it doesn't! So why did they detune it? Might be they are concerned with reliability.
Time will...
rfabro is right, makes your coolant conduct more heat. Good product, not a gimmic. But it does most of its work with the water not the antifreeze.
That is why I put fresh 60/40 in, which is fine for minuis 40F. Worth noting even without the water wetter, 60/40 will conduct more heat away than...
You can make your new ball joints last longer if you put a drop of oil on the balls often, every day you ride would be optimum, only takes about 30 seconds.
Overheating....
Id try putting in fresh 60-40% antifreeze abd a 1/2 bottle of Red Line water wetter. The Yamaha factory coolant, just...
It is possibly a common needle bearing you can get from a local bearing dealer. Can you read any numbers with a magnifying glass? On many of them there is a tiny plastic cage that holds the tiny rollers in. That must have broken
If you trail and Lake ride mainly, I would not rule out a newer Apex or even a Vector. Depends on priorities, MPG wise you cant beat a vector.
Still a 09 Nytro has some advantages for ditch banging and deeper powder. There I'd push for a bigger aftermarket tank, because I like long bagger...
Simmons skis have an optional fin type blade that bolts on. Shoots a bunch of snow onto the insidee of the track. These and/or ice scratchers or the bolt could make a huge difference. Actually I know they do because I ride with a guy that has the Simmons with the fins.
My vector had the light on a number of times. I did the rear cooler
however, on my Apex I solved the problem by installing a fresh 55% antifreeze mix and 1/2 a bottle of Red Line Water Wetter and no rear cooler. Cheap and effective as I have never had the light come on again.
This is a major key point!!!!! A lot of guys know this but many may not.
the first 2/3 or 3/4 can wear very fast, then in many cases wear slows way down. Why is that?? Because as the plastic wears the track comes in greater contact with the wheels.
After re reading this thread, I have to...
Both really sharp guys, Turk and Yamahnator, they say looser is worse for slide wear. It may work better for me because of the bigger wheels and wear pads. Guys are saying tight or loose, still wearing too fast. That tells me that the closed window unclipped may be the issue and wheels that are...
back on topic, problem is they are not really ball joints (like atutomotive style) w/ rubber seals w/ a supply of lube inside.
They are open spherical rod end bearings. Put a drop of 30 or 20w 50 wt oil on them each day you ride and your next set will last a lot longer.
good idea, I got to do #1, 3 .4 and 6
I highly recommend the Ulmer Bronze oilite a arm and bulk head bushings
Get the spindle bushing from Pioneer as I do not believe any bronze pieces are available for those.
