    New Technology Comes to Future Yamaha Snowmobiles!

    O.K., I'm not nearly as experienced with sleds as you guys, but I have a few thoughts. Maybe a fresh look would be good...or maybe my inexperience will show itself. We'll see. What about a better replacement for the variable transmission (belt & clutches)? Those two clutches are heavy and its...

    skidoo vs yamaha SERVICE

    So we are all supposed to go over our sleds with a magnifying glass after paying $10,000, because it should be expected that dealers are incompetent? When you buy a new car, do you pull off all the wheels and check the brakes, and crawl under it to make sure all nuts and bolts were put on tight...

    2005 RX1 Mono Shock Suspension Durability Results

    I think the slide problems are dealer-related, since they are the ones who adjust the track. Hell, when I picked up my new sled, the track was so loose the sled wouldn't move! I had to bring it back for them to tighten it, then the slides lasted for 4500 miles, when I swapped in the Cat skid...

    2005 RX1 Mono Shock Suspension Durability Results

    I can't speak for everyone, but on my '03 there were several "updates" that were supposed to be free, such as cutting the slit in the vent tube, adding extra rubber pads for the hood, and replace the seat cover and relocate some rivets that were causing problems. Well I had to fight to get the...

    A thought for future sled selection for Yamaha

    And while they are at it, how about a 2-up option for 150 powered sleds, maybe something like Doo'd removable rear seat with an optional luggage bag? I finally had a chance to ride a 120 and I really liked it. It was very peppy and almost kept up with an '05 RX-1 up to around 60 mph. With that...

    Welding of running board heat exchangers

    It wouldn't be my first choice, but I had a small leak on one of mine and I was able to fix it with JB Weld. That was 1000 miles ago with no problems. I would try that before shelling out $180. I cleaned the area very well with water and a wire brush before putting on the JB weld. Then I made...

    Who's using what oil?

    Exactly! I have tried to stress this to people. Synthetics do reduce friction, will flow better when cold, and protect the engine better. But there is more to oil than just breakdown, such as carbon, moisture, and other things that get past the rings and contaminate the oil. Run synthetic, but...

    skidoo vs yamaha SERVICE

    And whats the difference with our sleds? O.K., the biggest problem I hear with Doos are ring problems. Whats that, a few hundred buck fix? I've been through extensive rear suspension breakage (trail riding, not jumping and abusing it), broken reverse lever, oil usage, Yamaha seat covers don't...
