Thanks for the tips guys. Yes, I have the sub lead harness. My VIN ends in 1505 so it wasn't the first sled built, therefore it should have the shock connector. I will check again for the sled side connector to see if it is tucked up between the tank and the chassis.

I installed the rear Ohlins on the weekend, I looked one last time for the sled side connector before putting all the plastics back on. My work around for this season is to tape up the connector and zip tie the lead out of the way on the shock. With any luck I will figure out how to get this...

I picked up a used Ohlins rear shock to install in my 06 RTX. The issue I am having is there does not seem to be a white connector to plug the sub-harness into on the sled. It was my belief that all Apex's had the ability to plug and play the Ohlins shock as an upgrade. See pics for missing...

As RXRider says let it sit for a few minutes and then check the oil level. I have an 03 and it used to burn oil at a rate of 1 liter per 2500kms. About 7 years ago I started to use Seafoam in the fuel and oil consumption dropped to a few ounces per season. My standard application of Seafoam is...

03 Red Baron Lots of Red Rx-1's in this thread!!! Paddy....

Last two years I've trekked down to both Snowmobile shows here in the GTA and kept my wallet in my back pocket. Sure a new Apex or FX Nytro would look good in the trailer, but I only have 9000Kms and so far have only changed oil, plugs, carbides, sliders and the track. That's some serious...

I have the 1 1/4 Ripsaw with 96 up the middle and I couldn't be happier with it. Pretty good traction while accelerating and more importantly while braking! Regards... Paddy...

Had the same problem last weekend, I took off the Gas Cap and with a gloved hand covered the gas tank opening and with my other hand took a air hose and placed the tip between two fingers of the gloved hand and GENTLY pressurized the gas tank. Leave the choke open and 5 seconds of cranking later...

I saw your sled up close at the show, the pictures that I have seen in the past do not do the sled justice. It is amazing!! Well done!! Paddy

Go to www.ebay.com and type in 4612282088 in the search box. There is one up for auction in Alberta that ends in a few days. Hope this helps. Paddy.

FYI Ontario sledders. I found a store in Mississauga that carries all the Seafoam Products including the Gas/Oil treatment for or sleds. The store info is as follows: Indocan Auto Inc. 6965 Davand Drive - Units 3 & 4 Mississauga, ON L5T 1Y6 The nearest major intersection is Dixie...

You have a PM. Paddy...

Thanks for the comments guys. JDMCRX : the rear rack is very handy for keeping my saddlebags off the exhaust covers. Saddlebag contents: Flashlight, matches, water, spare gloves and balaclava, cleaning rag, oh and a OEM Arctic Cat Tow Rope!!!!!! Regards. Paddy...

Got the hood, tank and side covers back from the painter. Joey Morano from Fix Auto Lakeshore in Toronto gets the credit for a first rate job. The airbrushing was done by Mike Collier and the quality and level of detail are excellent. Joey started out with a Silver Metallic base then laid...

I put a 1.25 Ripsaw with 96 studs up the middle on my '03 for the final weekend this past March. The difference was very noticable. The extra traction on launch and especially braking was appreciated for the money spent. May have cost me 1-2 MPH on the top end but I can't tell for certain as I...

RX1 MEIRDA You have a PM. Paddy

I will free on Friday but not sure about Saturday or Sunday. I am thinking about going up to the Haliburton Forest tomorrow. I live in Georgetown so it is only a three hour drive for me. Paddy.

I'm glad you enjoyed your trip, we have had some great running this year and the trails are still really nice, just like your picture depicts. Your dealings with the Yammie dealer are consistent with many dealers in Ontario and Quebec. As my dad would say "they know what side of the toast...

Yamaha Powersports in Pickering has them, $15.00 each. Bayly and Brock Streets. Paddy.

Just got back from a day's riding in Haliburton, I was the king of the lake today with my 03 RX-1 stocker (600Miles). I have noticed the last couple of weekends that the sled is beginning to loosen up a touch. Anyway there is a string of Rev's and Poo's and one hot F7 that got a good look at...
