With NO snow and the grass almost green in southern NH, I thought my last ride was 2 weeks ago, drove to Pittsburg, NH..along the Canadian border, and on Sunday we put on 210 miles in 2 degrees F, great conditions and left knowing we had to go back. Went back this past Sunday, 65 degrees...

Just got my sled back from the dealer that did the 500 mile check up and oil change. Because of some past service problems with the dealer that I bought it from new, I took it to a different dealer further from my home. I've read a post or two with someone having gear oil leaking from the...

Yikes, I'm not sure what to think now. I will keep an eye on it but very concerned that following the Yami book for break in I didn't seat the rings properly and it will burn oil forever. It's probably too late with 200 miles on it, but now I'm really going to beat it and see what happens...

Yes, I do check without screwing in the dipstick. Thanks for confirming I'll see OP-LO and nothing unusual. How much oil do these things use ? Is a 1/2 quart every 200 miles normal or just a break-in thing ?

During Break-In, how much oil would you expect to consume in a new 4 stroke motor during the first few hundred miles ? The light didn't go on but I checked after the first 0-180 miles and was down a good 1/2 quart and on the low end of the stick. Is this normal ? How much oil would you...

Thanks everyone who has replied for the positive responses and advice. There's something in each reply I can use to help get this sled dialed in, live with the drone, love the ride and some good do's and don'ts for suspension and break in. The suspension adjustments will take some research on...

Thanks everyone for the responses on the APEX exhaust drone. It sounds like something I'll just have to get used to and not a tuneable thing that can be adjusted by messing with the EXUP. It is a head turner and once it's broken in, suspension is adjusted and I'm used to the performance, I'll...

Not a regular here but respect the many years of obvious experience on this site. Snow finally arrived to northern NH. This Friday night/Saturday I took a 180 mile maiden voyage on my black XTX in falling snow and below zero temps along the Canadian border on windy mountain trails. Although...

Yamaha Reps/Dealers are either untrained on the changes from year to year or denying that anything was changed in 2012 to address the 2011 hyfax wear issue because then they'd be admitting there was a problem in the first place...all leading to an ugly Yamabigbucks recall ! When researching...

apex prices Just paid 13,500 for 2012 XTX, no sales tax (NH) and no extra's. I could have gotten it for 13,100 (Troy's Garage - NY) but didn't think the 4 hour ride was worth it. I saw someone paid 12,500 on here for a 2012 XTX with some goodies thrown in...that's probably the best you...

XTX Pics Long time - first time. I just picked up the same sled 2 weeks ago but was very afraid of dropping 13k for a sled that has a good number of posts and publications ripping the hyfax and handling issues in the 2011 XTX which otherwise had fabulous reviews. Before I made the decision...
