That doesn't sound too bad Tundra, I will try it. If it lasts even 1/2 a season will be time well spent...

Short of removing the gas tank, I see no way to get at those plastic bushings with grease. This is where my squeeking seems to be comming from. Maybe the spray grease, that is a good idea for those hard to reach ball joints. I am a bit concerned that lubes may deteriorate the bushing, will look...

I've read about this happening on the Apex, but nothing on the RX1. My steering is getting progressively more difficult to turn, and squeeks. Is the steering column in direct contact with what appear to be some kind of hard rubber bushings? Could it be the 8" lever (riser) I installed on top of...

Such as this one; http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-ARCT ... 9642QQrdZ1 Does the Yamaha pto shaft have some specifics that make it unique? Thanks, Mark

My first try with seafoam in the oil (the only place it might have a chance to decarbonize the oil rings) seems to have been a failure. Still using the same amount of oil. Since I got the wrong oil filter, and had to reuse the old one I'm going to try again, and leave it in the oil longer this...

Two good tips Jim, I looked at the screen last time and it was pretty clean, just a little fiber, and a few tiny metal particals. Was suprised because the similar screens on my dirt bike always have a bunch of junk on them but then the same oil lubes a clutch and tranny. I suspect that was the...

The filter that bottomed out before seating was NOT the 1358. It was another Napa filter that needs to remain nameless so no one else makes the same mistake. As we all know its quite a process just to get to the point in an oil change where its time to put the new filter on. I edited my first...

Thanks Red2003, Do you find that it seems to come to hard stop while screwing it on, as opposed that slowly compressing the gasket feeling? I haven't actually screwed it on yet but had this problem with a different Napa filter. Thanks, Mark

Before I go remove everything again. I was hoping someone here was actually using one of these oil filters. Already got the wrong part # once from a thread here and returned it for 1358. Am interested in hearing from anyone ACTUALLY USING the 1358. It still looks to me like it won't screw on far...

No weight savings but its a much nicer seat. Oh yea, and it doesn't cost $525! Wish I'd found a blue stripe though, mines grey.

Added pic of the one I'm most worried about. I called Hartmans about it, and Tom says many of these are there from the factory. If you can catch it with a fingernail, don't let it get more than 3/8" before replacement. The large one in the pic is barely an 1/8" and I can just feel it with my...

Talking to Tom Hartman today, he explained that some of these that I think are cracks are likely there from the factory. If you can't catch it with a fingernail, and is less than 3/8" long just keep an eye on it (it will be part of my daily inspection now. This pic (if I have attached it...

So I just looked closely at my drive clutch sheaves and noticed several small cracks starting way down near the shaft. They are only 1-2mm so far. Wanted to throw that out there to get everyone to take a look at theirs. Its been a big snow week in the NW as many of you know, causing me yet...

Didn't realize the foam was different. Have the same seat mounted to an '03 RX1 MT. Love the trunk. Also trimmed the tank cowling about an inch. Ran the wiring along the top of tunnel, and over the heat shield with a little extra heat shielding underneath it. So far so good. Your sled should...

Thanks for the wake up guys, thats a good thread. There is nothing physically wrong with any of my clutch parts (aside from the cracks). Arms, weights, springs, helix, all new from Hartmans in the last 1200 miles. As mentioned, offset, and deflection are spot on. We are just passing 600 inches...

Pretty dissapointed in the yamaha primary. 2200 miles and I'm developing cracks down at the base of the primary sheaves. They are only about 2mm so far. How big should I let them get before I replace this POS? Stats; '03 RX1 MT. 8DN-10 arms 13.9 inner, 10.3 tip YPY spring Not sure about...

"So those Pioneer ones, would they totally replace that whole assembly? " Wanted to mention Pioneer only makes/sells the bushings themselves, not the metal parts. It appears from the schematic the bushings would all be included if you buy the whole assembly. A good thing as some of those...

Glad you were able to ride back ok. What have you got to loose by trying to weld it, don't see why it wouldn't work. Just don't burn too deep. Take good care of those lower A-arm bushings, they are backordered at Yamaha USA. Just got some from the classifieds here made by/for Pioneer...

Belts need to be broken in, or so the theory goes. Our sheeves have different angles on each side, and they do not initially match the belt angle. I recently blew up a brand new Ultimax 3 in 80 miles. It appears they are warrantying it (cashed my $6 check at least). I went down to 60 degrees...

Very happy with the Apex seat, particularly the trunk. Don't need my pack anymore. Kept my shovel bungied to the tunnel anyway. It doesn't get very warm at all in the trunk, enough to keep water from freezing though so no more frozen Camelback. The shape, and height are much better than the...
