    Side illumination on the headlights

    The Part # you want for the Rx-1 is 'H4' It says they are motorcycles/off road use on the box. I too just put these in my sled as well as in my mustang. Great bulb, really is a true white. Ypu don't ntoice how "yellow" your lights are until you compare. I picked them up at Murray's on sale for...

    05 RX1 Rear suspension grease zerk install

    Yamaha admits that the zerks were an overlook on the monoshock rear suspension. They told my dealer this at the tech update and said they MIGHT cover the cost on installing them If people complained enough. I certainly didn't wait for that to happen and had them install I think 4 zerks. It...

    Fuel octane for Rx-1

    I'm confused on what fuel octane to run in my stock 05. I read on an earlier post that premium fuel is not recommended, yet the owners manual says to run 89 or higher. I have always thought the higher the octane 89 vs. 93, the cleaner It burned. Also, with riding in northern MI I've always...

    Suspension steup ?'s

    Hey guys, I'm curious to what you have done or what you would recommend on me doing to my 05' rx-1. I'm tall about 210 lbs, and like a more stiff suspension (hate bottoming out) and I don't mind some good weight transfer to get the skis off the ground :D . I'm assuming yamaha has the the rear...

    Hey guys, I'm picking my sled up next week from the dealer after getitng some accessories installed, so I can now get my Simmons skis on. The dealer says they really don't have a need for my stock skis to buy back from me. So, my question is this: What do I do with the stock skis and carbides...

    Installing Zerk Fittings on 05 RX1?

    quote="NEED SNOW"]blue05rx1,,, said his dealer is installing zerks on his for about $ 100. If they put them in the right places thats not to bad of a deal... That's correct. At first Service told me around $60, then after the tech update he thought It would take a few hours ($60/hour I...

    05 MONOSHOCK SUSPENSION-- NO ZIRKS ??

    I agree, this was a surprise to me when I picked up my sled, and is something I'm not impressed with from yamaha. This was a big overlook, and I can almost bet that thge 06's will have zerks. I'm currently having my dealer install zerks on my sled right now, costing me $80-100 bucks or so...

    Simmons Ski's good deal

    Thoought I would add a little more insight to this. That price doesn't include the "cutting carbides." I just ordered a pair from him (should be showing up today). I got blue skis, with black strap, and 4 (four) 4" cutting carbides shipped for $ 380. For what I got It still seems to be a...

    SIMMONS CARBIDE?????

    I'm ready to order a set of Simmons for my Rx-1, but I'm not sure what to get for carbides. I ride in northern lower MI, on groomed trails, but also off trail on un-touched snow. Probabaly 60% trail, 40% off. I consider myself to be somewhat of an aggressive rider, I'm still a young guy at 21...

    05' ski question

    Are they very hard to install yourself? These are just particularly mountain skis? I ride in northern lower MI on and off trail, but no out west riding. Also as far as the carbides go I see you can get the standard (2) two flat ones, or one "cutting" one standard, or 2 "cutting". Do you guys...

    Another "monoshock" question?

    I agree w/ QCRIDER. I still don't have a definite answer about this suspsenion, whether yamaha did something great, and it is sealed like a car, or they went back in time and it needs to be taken apart for grease. I wish/hope the first statement is true. -Jim :yam:

    Another "monoshock" question?

    Hey guys, Now that more of you have taken delivery of your new 05 Rx-1's, I was wondering if you could give me some insight on this issue? The new Monoshock RA suspension doesn't have any zerk fittings. Finally, my dealer has got back to me saying that when it needs to be re-greased, the...

    ? to fellow 05 rx-1 owners

    Hey everyone, I've had my new sled now for about a week and noticed a few things missing. On my tool kit box, there are supposed to be 2 bolts that bolt to the frame, well I only have one, and the box is kind of loose. That's no big deal, but I know that is a mistake. But what Im really...
