OK, I will put the stickers back there and not worry about it if you haven't had any problems. Somehow I always seem to get hassled by the man when I'm not doing anything wrong ;)!

Hey all you New York State Phazer Riders, where do you stick your NYS Registration Stickers? Especially on the left side of the sled? There is not a smooth area on the left side of the boat/side panel. Do you put them on the side of the tunnel? I don't want to have the big ugly sticker up...

I demo rode the prototype 1200 Doo at Old Forge, along with all the 2009 Yamaha's. IMHO, the Yamaha's are much more refined. The 1200 Doo was pretty nice for its state of tune. Seat of the pants feel was that the FX Nytro and 1200 Doo are pretty comparable in power. The Apex had a lot more...

Damn that was slick I heard that you could start a sled that way, but never actually tried it myself. Thanks for the video to show everyone how its done. I always have some rope with me in case I need to tow a sled, so that will get r done! :-o This is why I love this website, you get the...

Sounds like I don't have to worry about check all the time Glad to hear that I don't have to check the oil level all the time. No need to have the right side of the sled pop off without an allen wrench then. I will probably check it at first to make sure its not burning any. Thanks guys...

Thanks for the feedback Thanks for the feedback guys. It sounds like they made a few updates to the '08s. I will keep an eye out for any starting issues. Like I said, with no backup way to start the sled the battery and starter need to be in good shape. I demo'ed the '09 GT and the...

How often do folks check the oil level on their Phazers? I ask this question for two reasons: 1) I have the original RX-1 and she eats a bit of oil during the season. So I typically check it after every weekend ride. 2) The Phazer does not have a hood that can be quickly popped open! You...

I've read a lot of posts related to 3 main problems: reverse engagement; cold starting, rear skid links. Do these same problems that effected the '07 Phazer also cause problems with the '08s ? I just bought a leftover '08 and was just curious if I should be on the look out for these same...

Thanks! As soon as I get the sled back, I'll check that!

I have an 03 RX-1 LE that I bought used a couple years ago with 6k miles on it. The previous owner road the sled hard. He put a brand new studded track on it with the new original shock (had an Ohlins shock on there that he removed). The sled now has 8,700 miles on it and I broke down this...

Awesome! I found the reverse installation instructions. I will work the forks back into the groove while sliding the cover on. I will know if it didn't work right when I try to kick it into reverse :Rockon: Thanks for the help! ;)! This website is such a great resource :rocks:

OK, so what is the trick ? How do you get the fork lined up in the groove as you slide the chaincase cover on? Have a wire with a hook on it to lower the fork into the groove as someone else pushes the cover on? Is there an online shop manual that shows pictures? It was easy to take off, so...

OK, I pulled the chaincase off my Yamaha RX-1 and I wasn't really looking to see how the reverse shift forks were positioned. Can anyone tell me if they should be all the way up or down when sliding the chaincase cover back into place? I am thinking that since all the reverse shift linkage is...

Ron, how did you know your jackshaft bearing was shot? I think mine is grumbling a little bit, but when i took the secondary off the shaft feels tight. Did you feel it going bad?

I have an 03 RX-1 with silver wheels. I just took the skid off and replaced the bearings in the wheels. Yamaha wants you to buy the entire wheel and bearing. The aftermarket bearing manufacture is called "All Balls". I just pressed the bearings out of the wheels and brought them with me to...

Thanks for the feedback that did the trick! OK, I took all the suggestions. Went to Autozone and purchased a puller (should have one anyway) and put a little heat to her. She came off like butter then :jump: :rocks: ;)! Thank you!

fuel shut off does not come standard on RX-1 Lots of guys have added fuel shut offs to the sleds. Do a search and you will find the old threads with pictures. I usually just transport my sled with very little fuel in it. For summerizing I just add stabilzer to the gas and run it into the carbs.

Anyone have some suggestions about how to get a bearing off the axle. Banging with a hammer didn't work. Think I can heat the bearing a little bit so it will expand, then hammer off? Or should a purchase a puller? :o|

I would be interested if the seat was all black or black/silver. I have the 03 RX-1 LE which is silver. The seat on the 03 is rock hard. $450 for a new seat from the stealer. For that much I should upgrade to a Boss seat myself :o|

my avitar is a little small but has the chrome windshield I like the look of the chrome windshield. I want to get the chrome hood grates from the Vector GT and chrome my faux-carbon fiber exhaust exit behind the seat. ;)!
