    two 06 Apex's not starting and being flooded i believe

    I have two 2006 apex's that I purchased in 2014. They have ran flawlessly since then besides exhaust donuts and a few other very minor issues. Now here's what happened...weather got very cold out -25c plus the wind chill (it was frigid out!) So I tried starting the sleds and they wouldn't...

    so my Apex is noisy... what are the chances I need metal exh gasket?

    yep ...had a cracked pipe, think that will fix it. Part should come in next week. My friend a ski doo tech came over with some shop tools and gave everything a good check over. He found the cracked pipe and found some coils on their way out aswell. Did a compression check that came out good...

    I shined light in each one and could not see any light come through anywhere. So I don't think they are leaking

    so my Apex is noisy... what are the chances I need metal exh gasket?

    Well I'm stumped! I think everything is running right but it sounds bad. Almost sounds like valves need adjusted or exhaust leak or something. I replaced the exhaust donuts, checked the tubes for cracks ect but can't seem to find anything wrong. What are the chances I have a bad gasket the...

    Coolant in sled is brownish green, I took some out and put it in a clear water bottle and left it over night and it didnt seperate. The oil has no coolant in it. It has a smell like syrop kinda. So i drained it all and am flushing the cooling system. Gonna put all new coolant in and see...

    Now I'm at the point where I feel the engine is labouring.Put new plugs in, checked all the coils, checked for codes, TPS is fine. I'm lost!! no air sound any longer...just a rough sounding engine.

    Just replaced exhaust donuts and thats not the problem...help

    Just don't sound smooth now so I replaced the plugs...no dice. Gonna check coil packs tonight. Not so much of a air sound now that all body panels are off and I changed the donuts. I did see a little wetness in one cylinder when I removed the flex pipes.

    Just replaced exhaust donuts and thats not the problem...help

    Sound is coming from engine area...engine just sounds louder, noisier. Possibly not air sounding so much now that I went back out to the garage for another listen. Just sounds not right and a little louder. I'm stumped

    Just replaced exhaust donuts and thats not the problem...help

    I was out on the weekend and developed a air sounding noise that I thought was the exhaust donuts. My son posted on a different forum about this issue and got the same response from a Yamaha Tech...exhaust donuts. So I replaced them as they probably needed changed out anyhow. Sled is 2006...

    Dual carbides or shaper bars on your Apex?

    Looking into buying a set of dual carbides after recently purchasing 2 2006 apexes. The one I drive had dual carbides and my sons had single. After switching sleds i noticed how much better mine was with no darting so I told my son we needed a set on the apex he drove, but he refused. So I had...
