    I am thinking of getting these: http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/acces ... etail.aspx http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/acces ... etail.aspx I thought that I read that the spoked wheels were supposed to be better than the stock wheels. Anyone know anything about these wheels?

    IDLER WHEEL QUESTION. I've read the FAQ and searched already

    Yes, but won't those just be the stock wheels? I know about the fiche. I thought the stockers had non-replaceable bearings and they had newer yamaha wheels that have replaceable bearings... I.E. the spoked wheels vs. the swirl wheels?

    IDLER WHEEL QUESTION. I've read the FAQ and searched already

    Before my wheels broke off, I was having no problems with them. The rubber is in good shape on them and Most of the wheels spun quite easily with little friction. My slides are wearing fine as well. I bought a set of the narrow slides last year, but haven't had to replace them yet.

    IDLER WHEEL QUESTION. I've read the FAQ and searched already

    I read Dan's post, but I'm not having that much of a wear problem and don't want to replace everything. I just want a wheel that I can throw on there and ride. I am just wondering for the two different wheels that I broke off if there is a better stock or aftermarket wheel that I don't have to...

    IDLER WHEEL QUESTION. I've read the FAQ and searched already

    Does anyone have specific Yamaha, Ski-doo, and Kimpex part #'s? I read that for the other brands that you need to either file down the wheel mount bracket or use washers. Sounds like there's not one specific best proven aftermarket wheel or updated Yamaha wheel to use after this many years of...

    IDLER WHEEL QUESTION. I've read the FAQ and searched already

    Too many old posts on the subject. I am wondering what the latest suggestion is for replacing the idler wheels on my '06 apex RTX is with the mono suspension. I broke two off this past weekend. One large rear wheel and one smaller wheel. The larger one was on the rear left and the smaller...

    Opinions on Ice Ripper track.

    Wears very well, my tips are sharp and haven't lost any that I've ever noticed....It's not enough traction for icy corners if you ride hard. I'm adding traditional studs for next year unless someone wants to trade for a good track with traditional studs.

    Apex steering questions. Please Help!

    I just ordered the OFT kit. I thought about cutting down the stockers, but time is money. mud99 is right. Thanks for the info scmurs. I think I might be able to loan a pickle fork from a parts store...or borrow one.

    Apex steering questions. Please Help!

    Does the OFT kit fix all of the left to right slop of the handlebars? I see that there is at least one additional bushing a little above the chaincase that isn't included in the OFT kit. Still no responses on the tie rod end. I can't get it pounded out, nor by using a channel locks either. I...

    Apex steering questions. Please Help!

    Can someone link me to the post that shows how to replace all steering bushings and tighten up the slop? I swear I have seen a thread on that before with pics. Who has the cheapest replacement bushings that are better than stock? Anyone know how much they cost vs. a stock kit? I'm working on...

    Clear up the apex riser question for me, please.

    If the stock riser is 4 3/4", maybe one mountain riser is 6" and the other is 7.25"?? So confusing.

    Clear up the apex riser question for me, please.

    My sled is at my parent's place, so I can't measure the stock '06 RTX riser right now. I have read in posts that the '06 and '07+ mountain risers are different, but the parts fiche lists them as the same exact part #.

    Clear up the apex riser question for me, please.

    I have been looking to replace my '06 RTX riser with the mountain riser and bolts. However, after looking all over and searching the forum, it looks like the stock RTX riser is 6" and the mountain riser is only 7.25". Is this correct? I checked the parts fiche at port yamaha's site and the...

    Easy Steer's

    Why not just buy better skis on ebay for that price? Look for a used pair of aftermarket skis that are in good shape. My C&A Razors even came with a pair of good 10" carbides already on them....

    Where is the cheapest place to get Silverstar headlights?

    I looked on ebay for the hightest wattage bulbs I could find. I think they're 130/90 or so. They are a very white color and I have experienced absolutely no problems. We're not allowed to put up links to ebay, or I'd list one for you. No need to spend tons of money on PIAA's. I have also put the...

    seat color

    Summit Racing on ebay sells VHT dye. Satin Black is what I used on my silver stripe of my '06 Apex RTX. It is holding up very well. I paid about $14 for it on ebay, including shipping. I couldn't find it at any stores near where I live.

    ice ripper durability

    I have about 3,600 miles on my apex and my ice ripper has only lost one lug. I also burn any little frayed cords as they appear. The missing lug has not gotten any worse, nor ripped at all. I don't think it is enough traction for my needs, but obviously better than a track without any studs at...

    Charging Battery

    another vote for the optimate. Got one for my dad for christmas and we now use it on everything. It takes a long time to do larger batteries, but brings back crappy batteries and works without the need to monitor it and won't overcharge. It was about $40 online.

    seat color

    I dyed mine black this past winter and not a bit of it wore off at all. I got mine on ebay from the summit racing seller. Black satin was the color. I believe it was the VHT brand.
