Used the Simmons Gen2's and I have to say they are hard steering. Switched to the stock ski's and found little difference except the steering was slightly easier.

They are for a slightly larger diameter shaft I believe. There was a post about putting the plastic cover from a duotang folder around your shaft and press the BRP driver over that. Trimming it up afterwards. I wouldn't like that idea. Avid drivers should have all you need. Talk to Robby...

A few of the posts were saying subframes are OK but bent lower A arms. I threw in a shot of bent lower A arms. The Apex with a spun hyfax I suppose was not on topic.

Go with what sledfreak is saying. Call up the guy you bought it from and ask him to call the dealer. It won't cost him anything to ask for you. I've had rod bolts go on 2 strokes Poo's with 300 miles. Broke the motor in two after it started hammering. It would be pretty sad if Yamaha...

Thanks for the shaft bearing info. I'm greasing my Apex shaft bearing tonight as tomorrow I head to Moose Valley for the last trip of the season. They told me max trade in value is $7500 on an XTX in good condition. I'd get $400 Yamaha bucks back wirth a 2 year extended warranty. My sled...

The stud chart I have recommends for a 1.25" track, 1.325" studs for .320 -.350" of penetration. So your studs would penetrate 0.05" deeper or .370 -.400". According to this chart in the Royal Dist book. Page 276 in the stud section. These are for Woody's studs. My aluminum backers...

"Quick question then!! Are the measurements given on say the Woody's site total stud length or are they equivalent to the measurements given for tracks, ie 1.5" track = 1.5" lug height????" Good question. I measure them myself as I see lots of friends being given wrong studs by the...

I think the Nytro has two levels of warnings for over heating. It glows yellow at first then goes green. I think it starts detonating after it turns green. Mine did the first ride out. You may have scuffed a piston if you didn't notice the light on. When you shut off a hot motor it goes...

The more you drive it the better it gets. Gas mileage and fun. It will become the best driving sled you've ever owned when conditions are right. Fun factor is great. Sometimes on ice with patchy snow it was hard to handle but once on a groomed trail it was great. Certian conditions made the...

I have to say your garage is much tidier than mine!... I spent yesterday cleaning the garage so its not so cluttered. But its still a mess.

I'm glad I didn't have an F7 if they chew wheels like you say. Those good as new wheels your still running...Try giving them all a spin before next season and see how many need to be replaced? If they spin free then they are OK. If they have any roughness or vibration you might rethink your...

I wouldn't have removed the tunnel protectors. Like Daranello says your asking for trouble doing this. I've seen stud damage inside tunnels from loose tracks whipping up. My Apex has bent metal with studs marks under the tunnel. Glad my exhaust was protected. You don't need to take out your...

I'm saying you don't have to worry about having the tunnel protectors removed. In other words you don't have to remove them. I didn't and wouldn't. As far as 2" nails, they are the full length needed for a 1.5" track. You will have no issues. Daranello jumped the gun a little as I didn't...

This is what its like to love Yamaha. See below. A picture is worth 1000 words. I open my mouth I get some cranky. So I'll post these picks. Probably will get deleted like some of my posts with a bit of attitude. Ok I could have taken lots of great trail shots with great scenery. I don't...

I have a 1.5 track with 2" studs. They would not protrude farther than about 1/4 inch than than the lug height. You don't have to worry about tunnel protectors being removed. Your studs don't go under the protectors anyways. They go in between them or outside if studding the outside of the...

Manaic, Its not that simple. I own a XTX and it was new. A couple bolts came loose that I'm not complaining about. I think the boggie wheels should be a larger diameter and they should be made stronger with replaceable bearings. I hate sealed bearings. Only two stroke BRP's blow up. The...

We can only wait and see. New ones in Canada on the Yamaha-motor.ca site are $14,600 I think. It was a couple days ago I looked. Thats for a three year warranty spring order. I asked how much for a spring order if I trade my XTX. Under warranty with two more years fully transferrable. New...

I agree with Darnello too! The other side was not worn through. I knew the wheels were blown off inside. I knew the slides were worn through on one side but not bad. I had driven almost 1000 miles the last 5 days. I seen the clips missing the day before but I had to go to race. I was tired...

Limiter straps both good. Just the rubbers flew off the inside wheels. Its the front shock hitting the track. Where the front wheels would have raised the shock to a safe level, once they go your track is in danger. Where the slides wear here fast, when your wheels fly apart the inside of...

The front inside boggie wheels flew apart and that along with worn slides let the lower shock mount scrape my track almost wearing it out. Something to watch out for.
