    pilot/slow jets

    My 07 Vector GT has a slight hesitation too. It's almost goes away completely when it's really warmed up, I mean like after it's been running for 10 minutes or so. You buy those jets at a dealer?

    registration question

    Make sure you get something with his signature, showing that he bought the sled from you and the date sold, price, etc. I know cars are different, but I sold one to a "friend" who never bothered to register it. After getting 2 bench warrants in the mail for parking tickets on my former car (if I...

    Why Should I buy a Yamaha?

    I had the exact opposite reaction from my wife and daughter (and for that matter my sons too) when I bought my vector. We have a couple of older 2 stroke cats and when we go riding together everybody, including the girls want to drive the vector. They like the way it sounds and handles (they...

    How can I tell if I already have a Yamaheater

    I have a 2007 RS Vector GT that I bought last fall and the warmers work great. I'm sure I don't have Yamaheaters. I never used them when it was colder than 0 degrees Fahrenheit. I heard that's when they let you down (when you need them the most). It that true?

    How to change my my track.

    Here's a good track swap procedure with pictures of a Nytro, but it's very similar to a vector (I just got done doing a track swap on mine). [/url]http://www.totallyamaha.com/snowmobiles/aaTECH/FXNytro/FX%20Nytro%20Track%20or%20Gear%20Change.htm

    Changing track and speedo bearing.

    The new one I bought from my Yamaha dealer and is a Yamaha part #93306-20589-00. I already installed it and put the speedo cover on so I don't know what type of seal it has. The one I took off looks identical. It has a rubber seal. I'm fairly sure it's the original. The sled has 5500 miles on...

    Changing track and speedo bearing.

    Stuck my head underneath, shined a light up there, and even with my failing close up vision I could just make out the star pattern if I squinted. I still think it's kinda crazy that Yamaha mixes hex and torx set screws on the same shaft but the job is done. Thanks to all who replied. I'm glad I...

    Changing track and speedo bearing.

    I just have some torx ends for a nut driver. I don't think that would work very good for this application as it's really tight in there. I should get a nice set of torx anyway.

    Changing track and speedo bearing.

    Anybody know if they're torx?

    Changing track and speedo bearing.

    Dog. Yeah, the collar next to the cog that I mentioned fits the 3mm. The 2 in the the bearing look close to the same size but they're obviously not. I noticed the new bearing didn't come with new set screws. Maybe the previous owner went to the hardware store and bought sae screws like you said...

    Changing track and speedo bearing.

    On a related subject. I'm putting on a new track. I have everything disassembled but I need to remove the speedo side drive shaft bearing. The problem is the 2 set screws. My 3mm t-handle seems too big and my 2.5 mm too small. This is on both set screws. I bought this sled used so I don't know...

    Distance on a tank of gas

    I haven't calculated mpg yet, but it obviously very good. My buddy runs a SXR500 and when we both fill, I use about 2/3rds of what he does. He's calculated his mileage at around 11.5 mpg, so I think 17 or so mpgs for mine.

    Exhaust Valve Tolerance

    Roz. Thanks for the reply. I bought this sled used. I don't have any records of what was done or not. Is this going to be a problem? If this is some known manufacturing bug what difference would it make if I cleaned the carbs myself? I'm a bit older and have done most work on my sleds, cycles...

    Exhaust Valve Tolerance

    Hi guys. This is my 1st post. I bought a used 2007 Vector GT last fall with 4500 miles. Overall I like the sled (I've owned all 4 brands, most recently Cats). I had virtually no experience with Yamaha 4 strokes, particularly the triples. I admired them from what I read in magazines and so forth...
