    Tunnel protector/stud protector

    I put 144 in mine and no problems, 96 in the wifes and no problems. (LTX as well) Cant find anywhere that the studs are close to hitting. Both sleds appear to have some kind of tunnel protectors built in.

    Attempting my first oil change!

    Welcome to TY!!! My dealer told me that I can do my own maintenance and would not void warranty. I also have a 18 Viper LTX and really like it. Good luck!!!!

    Viper Humming Sound when key is offf

    That is funny, I hear a really high pitched noise every once in a while that I couldnt tell where it was coming from. I thought that it was coming from my Viper but by the time i could check it out, it quit. Mine seems to last for around 5 seconds. never heard it on my wifes.

    Bent Primary bolt

    Cant believe this, just pulled my primary from my 18 Viper for the first time to clean the primary for the season and the bolt is bent at the threads. I dont really think it would affect anything since the crank is tapered and the primary taper should keep everything lined up. Still thinking...

    Need Speed

    Made 1 last trip to the UP and have around 850 miles on it now. Crossed the lake coming in and it hit 96, I think it would have kept gaining but I was out of room. I think it just need to loosen up a little. Makes me feel a lot better. Should at least run with the wife nowLaLaLa

    Need Speed

    I think I hit the 9000 rpm when I took off from the stop since when I was running WOT on ice I never saw over 8750 rpm. The 9000 RPM was on the recall function.

    Need Speed

    I did end up reading over 9000 rpm one day but didnt really gain any speed. My wifes has been maxing around 8750-8850 rpm. I have not swapped belts between the two yet. (Hoping for another ride this year) I will be looking for clutch parts this summer.

    Curve skis on EBay

    I rec you toe them out a little further (1/2) total. I went with slim jims and absolutley no darting. I never ran the carbides that came with them.

    Need Speed

    Just came in from riding and did my oil change, only have around 475 miles on it. the wifes has around 1k on it. That might be the difference between the two. I did check my max rpm and it read around 8650. I guess I will run it this year the way it is and see if it loosens up. I figure during...

    Need Speed

    I guess I didnt post that right. I dont want my wife to outrun me! I know I wont outrun the 850 but figured if I could get that extra 10 mph it would make a lot of difference. I only have 450 miles on it and didnt know what to expect from the thunder products Big Venom kit.

    Need Speed

    I am looking to gain some speed from my 18 LTX Viper. Only getting 85 mph on ice with slight snow cover. My wifes 15 is running around 94 mph under the same conditions. Both sleds are mainly stock with the exception of mine having curve skis and she has a Ultimax belt. Didnt know if the Thunder...

    Curve skis on EBay

    If yours came with washers, I would re-use all factory parts the fit inside of the ski. Bushings from curve mounted on the inside of the ski. It might just be a difference between years of sleds.(mine had tuner III's) I would not want them loose. (figured when you tighten them down they would...

    Curve skis on EBay

    Mine did not have washers on each side of the spindle, just one shim to change the ski stance. I do not know how you could get the washers inside of the ski saddle and the spindle as tight as mine were. The sled handled like it was on rails with slim jims. Everyone that followed me commented on...

    Curve skis on EBay

    I figured the price listed on the curve website is MSRP. Just like buying a new sled, you can usually do better than MSRP. If this design ski works as good as the reviews I have seen, I figure I would be very happy. I am running slim jims on mine. I will report back after this week on the ride...

    18 Viper LTX

    I will try to check that out, I will be out working on it again tomorrow night.

    18 Viper LTX

    I cannot tell a difference between the 15' and the 18' spring. So I doubt they put the dual rate in.
