Not convinced this will resolve the inner race from spinning on the shaft and wearing. After shipping and tax you"re looking at $425 easily. The price is a turn off.

The EPS is activated once the key is turned on. The engine does not need to be running. If the kill switch is operated it will cut the steering, same as turning the key off. I've never heard a relay activated. If someone has a shop manual there should be an electrical diagram to help...

Okay, good to know, thanks. I'll look deeper into it. Something must be binding yet the PS is strong enough to overcome it.

As stated this is not my first sidewinder and I am familar with setup and adjusted to my preference. All good points brought forward, just wondering if any others with PS had similar experiences.

I have stock skies,carbides and 6.9 pilots with snow trackers and it did the same. I agree the PS should be disengaged at those speeds. I have checked the rubber boots and sprayed them with silicone to let them slide freely so I don't believe that to be the problem. Done it from day 1, weird...

I recently bought a 23 LTX LE and have about 500 miles before end of season. Previous sled was 17 LTX. The power steering takes a bit to get comfortable with because it makes the sled handle much different than without. It does work great but one thing I did notice is when going high speed like...

Skidoo has announced February 20th as the release date for their 2024 sleds. When will Yamaha announce their's?

Good explanation. My preference would be the bumpstop mod.

What prevents the shock from hitting the cross shaft?

Great idea Travis. This method is what all original Yamaha's had for the driveshaft bearing and a concentric locking collar for the jackshaft bearing. The only concern I would have is with a worn shaft depending on how great the clearance is. 10 - 20 thou would be sketchy. The reason being...

Question for everyone.....why do you think we need a new chassis? The one we have is very good, it's been refined and improved over the 9 years and works well especially with the new ARC front end. I would be happy if they would fix the existing issues such as the clutch rattle, replace the...

Haven't seen any owner reports on this model on the forums. Anybody have one that would like to comment?

Does anyone have a 2020 XTX LE to report on?

Guys Where can a person buy the tubing required to make his own CAI? Thanks

So is the stingray spring the same as DMC listed from the dealer?
