    WARNING!!! 08 Yamaha Nytro spindle broken!!

    Just to pop in here, I can tell you that in our race cars with aluminum rods you must be very careful not to get a nick in the rod when handling, a very small nick will cause failure, we also change the rods every 150 passes do to the aluminum fatigues with the heat cycles. Not that you are...

    Did Yama decide on a program for 05 RX-1 rear mono susp?

    Tom you will probably be waiting on answers to all questions about as long as everyone else is waiting for answers to all their problems, the problem is the answers never have a conclusion, Yami just says we are working on it, great when my sled is 5 years old they will have a fix for it but...

    Did Yama decide on a program for 05 RX-1 rear mono susp?

    I WANT MY F-ING SKID FIXED OF ALL THE RUST ON THE WELDS THAT HAS NOW SPREAD ACROSS THE REST OF THE PARTS. SO MUCH FOR FIT AND FINISH, UNLESS YOU LIKE RUST. Yamaha learn how to weld and paint or start powder coating these parts and cover up your piss poor welding job. OK now I am much happier...

Still mis the sleds though, did 2200 miles this year but it just felt like I didn't get any riding done, we ususally do around 2500 a year but this year we all felt as though we were shorted, it's strange but I think it is the newer suspensions and the better...

    Let's start this "discussion" again....

    If you guys are having that much trouble steering and controling your sleds or others you ride with, then do the right thing and set up the sled better, I had darting until I put on Simmons skis, now I can ride down a trail straight as an arrow one handed and the sled doesn't move from its line...

    Why can't I find this in the Yamaha catalog????

    Dealers sell them for $85.00 plus install, I would buy the yami part as it is factory and it is cheaper. First I would talk with dealer if you are having overheating problems some have warranteed for customer.
