    Battery Life

    I have 2 '06 Vectors with original batteries, had them checked this year and everything was fine. I keep them on a Battery Tender whenever I'm not using them, really seems to make a difference. You can take it into any battery store or even most Auto Repair place's and they should be able to...

    Suspension Wheel Question

    Does anyone know if the idler wheel from the 2010 Vector will fit my 2006 Vector, it appears the whole wheel assembly is less than $20 and it has a replaceable bearing included. The part # is: 8HF-47310-10-00. Just curious if anyone has looked into this yet? Thanks

    GPS in Frigid Temps Feedback

    Same here, I have the 76CSX on my Vector, mounted with the Ram mount and wired directly to the Battery with a fused line. I always have the light on (which keeps the unit warmer) and have never had a problem. Ride on.

    This will be my second season running Mobil 1 in both sleds, I've had absolutely no problems, and besides, you can't beat the price at Wally World.

    Vector oil filter cross reference

    Honestly, I don't know, I'm pretty sure I found this list on here and just made sure to save it. Personally, I bought the K & N Filters, which seemed to work well, they also have the built in nut on the bottom, which should ease removal.

    Cheap ski scratchers

    To Indy, uhmw is: (Ultra-High Molecular Weight) Polyethylene - a type of strong plastic, similar to what your slides are made of, I think. I purchased mine from a local plastics company, I was told that "Bearing" companies sell it, however the one I went to didn't and referred me to the...

    Leftover 06 Vector GT

    I bought mine in the spring of 2006 and paid around $7,000.00, I think we know now why it's been on the dealers floor for 3 years.

    12 miles per gallon 06 Vector?

    Check your clutches also, after what you said about "feels like starting in high gear", my wifes sled was doing this, so I took apart the secondary clutch and cleaned and lubed it. I took it for a ride after that and it seemed to have solved the problem. If the secondary is not closing up all...

    12 miles per gallon 06 Vector?

    It's really pretty simple to change plugs on these. Simply unplug the wires at each coil pack, pull out the coils and the plugs are down in there. The plug wrench that Yamaha supplies works really well for getting to them. Check the plugs, who knows. By the way, we've always gotten between 18 &...

    Electrical Issue?

    I know that when it's really cold, both my wifes machine and mine do the exact same thing. I chalked it up to some sort of thing built into the electrical system as it happens on both machines. I also noticed it on a few other Yammi's. No one ever had any problems, just took a couple of minutes...

    mirrors on 08 vector

    I don't know if they're the same as the 'o6 vector's, but if they are, you should find small "dimples" on the underside of the hood which should mark where to drill the holes. Hope this helps, John

    07' vector GT handlebars

    Cheap ski scratchers

    adrenaline junkey, Looks like a really good idea, I have a couple of questions though. #1 - Do you have the "particulars" on the spring, I was looking at the Tractor Supply site and they seem to have many options, I was just curious which one you used, IE: length, diameter of the rod, etc...

    2006 RS Vector or 06 vector rs gt

    If you aren't planning on studding I would use a set of 4" double downs (dooly's, duece bars, etc...) We've got them on ours and really like them, no darting whatsoever, I guess some brands tend to push in the corners, but we don't ride hard enough to notice. But for sure put on some sort of...
