i ceramic coated my pipes on the nytro, also did the turbo exhaust housing and downpipe, $280 for cleaning and coating IIRC used to all look like the clamps

smacked my knee and got a small but deep bruise, was gone within a week. could have been a lot worse if i had gone straight into the bars instead of over them. got the track aligned and tensioned tonight, hopefully its not too loose, if it is its not hard to tighten on the trail anyways. i...

about this fast. however, there is some cursing at the end, so watch out for that.

been a while since i updated, a while ago i got the track,rail extensions, new sliders and stiffer torsion springs on. then, more recently i put the front end back on, along with the new steering post. discovered my post relocation won't work with the aftermarket riser i have. today i got the...

i agree with whats been said above. when leak testing if you can't find anything obvious you can build a leak tester. basically just put a cap on the turbo inlet that has an air fitting on it, then pressurize the system (not too much pressure, just put as much as you normally run for PSI)...

another thing that helped on my Nytro mtx and my grandparents phazer MTX's was the flip the rubbers on the ski's, in our case it looks like they were put in 'backwards'. when we lifted the machine the skis would point down at the front, once that was flipped around so that the ski's weren't...

my cousin swears by his, i'm thinking of getting some after hitting my knee last weekend on the handlebars after hitting a rock and going over the bars.

my front end tweaked a little, and i don't ride too hard, i straightened it a bit and welded a reinforcement, that combined with the oilite bushings and now the front end is sitting nice and i shouldn't have my spring rubbing on my arm anymore. On the darting issue as well, i flipped the...

i put grease on my ball joints like that all last season. by the end of the season (almost 1900kms) the ball joints were still screwed.

i did the arms as well, don't have pics of them at the moment been lazy on my own sled, and have been working on my cousins MXZ a lot, so not a whole lot done on mine. got the new track in there, changed the torsion springs on the skid, got the old sliders off. subframe back on and some...

just pulled mine apart tonight to put in a different track. bolt head is gone, snapped off, threads still in the shaft. only people to work on the sled to date was a dealer when they installed the turbo kit, they obviously pulled the bolt head out after it broke. so it broke sometime in the...

actually ya i would have to agree with that, i do feel more sometimes, but it doesn't annoy me at all and i normally don't even notice it. And they saved my sliders.

is your track set really tight or something? my sled had 666kms on it when i turboed, sliders were still ok, put on 300kms wth the turbo and the track was tight, wore the sliders a lot in that 300kms, then i installed scratchers and got another 1000kms out of them last year. they still have a...

my dealer ordered me in some of the new ones on warranty today. if they fail as easily as the stock ones, i'm going to make something heavy duty work, i can probably do it for 1/4 the cost of the yamaha ones, $96 PER balljoint they were listed at!

i found the same thing, same reason too, getting them coated. i checked them before and didn't catch it, then when i was taking them apart i noticed over 1/8 of play on the one lower balljoint, 'only' 1/16 or so in the other. so this morning i'm gonna have fun seeing what the dealer says.

i have scratchers that mount to the bottom of the running boards, mounted them pretty much as far forward as i can. I am very happy with them. i picked them up at my local dealership, don't recall the brand name right now.

i only really noticed it on cold days riding against a strong wind. you do get hit by a lot of wind in the chest and face compared to some other machines. the stock low windshield is so useless i don't even bother with it anymore since mine gets mostly mountain riding. i did get some...

having the rear brace is definetly nice, i'm still trying to decide if i'm going to grab the subframe on monday to add it or live with what i have, mines PROBABLY good enough, but generally i prefer to overbuild the #*$&@ out of everything so that i know 110% that its good. Nikolai, i only...

i use royal purple since i get it for rediculously cheap and its an overall good product. other than that i go with syntec (preferably the stuff from germany thats a REAL synthetic, not the domestic stuff thats only hydrocracked)

well today i uber-beefed up the front end. this is it for welding on it for now. before(pic borrowed from TY) after someone on snow and mud already caught it, but the front tab for the stock skid plate won't work now apparently. i admit its a complete oversight on my part but it...
