I rode the railroad grade from Indian River to Frederick this past monday the 14th. The worst conditions I have ever seen any trail. Three to four foot moguls in spots. Completety unacceptable. Took me at least a couple of extra hours due to the poor conditions. I was sweaty and furious...

Rode through there this past Tuesday. The trail has been re-routed down Slashing road bypassing the bridge. So you can make it past this area without any problems. But as usual, the Petoskey section of the trail from chandler hills to Larrys has not been groomed and rough. It's too bad...

I did a search but could not find my answer in any of the forums. I know this is the apex forum, but know this is looked at more than the others. Replacing the driveshaft bearing on a 2001 sxr 600. Removed the old bearing which was difficult, stuck to the driveshaft, but successful. Having...

I received that code last year on my 06 apex. Was going down the trail then the sled just quit. Sled would restart but would stall when you hit the throttle. Ended up being the drive shaft bearing. Bearing was in pieces and took out the speedo sensor. Mine has 8,000 miles when the bearing...

Update, Just pulled off the secondary and sure enough, the drive axle bearing was toast. When the bearing failed, it chewed up the speedo sensor which resulted in the er-1 code. Question, why do you have to pull the collar with the 2 set screws to remove the bearing? The collar is behind...

7,900 miles on the sled. Original driveshaft bearing. Greased and packed at the beginning of this year by the dealer. Where is the speed sensor located and what does it look like? Did your fuel pump ever not cycle? Strange how sometimes the pump worked and other times it did not. Seems...

Well, looks like I am the latest casualty of Er-1 code. The wife and I took a vacation day and headed up north. Unload sleds, head down the trail life is good. About 10 miles later, ripping up a railroad bed, the motor starts to sputter then stalls/quits. Pull over to the side of the trail...

I see the spoked wheel in the catalog, but don't see black as an option. However, I notice in the posted pictures everone has black wheels. In the catalog they show blue, red, silver and grey available. Does anybody have the correct part number for the yamaha black spoked wheel?

I just made the change on my 06 Apex. I'm sorry I waited this long to change the bars over. These are the handwarmers I have been dreaming about the last 3 seasons. In my opinion there is nothing worse than having a great ride ruined because your fingers are about to fall off. I've had this...

Dealer replaced my right side y pipe 2 weeks. Rode 500 miles and noticed an exhaust leak again. Not happy, decided to have a friend who is a good mechanic tear apart and see what's going on. Now left side y pipe is cracked. I have a saddlebag trip to the UP planned for the 27th. Not going...

I currently have the 07 handlebars on my 06 Apex. I want to make the change over to the 06 bars with the 07 wiring harness. Cant' deal with cold hands any longer. Unfortunately I sold my 06 bars thinking the 07 bars were going to be the fix. Wrong. Does anybody know if they are available...

Replaced broken y pipe and donuts on the right side of my 06 apex, 6000 miles. Had the dealer do the job. Yamaha agreed to warranty the parts even though the sled was out of warranty. I only had to pay for the labor. Sled sounded good after the first few rides, now it sounds like a leak may...

mdkuni, I see you live in Houghton Lake. Did Hackers do the repair? They do great work. If they did the repair, what did they was the cause of the failure?

What happens when your torque on the nut? Does it start to spin then the sheaves open. If the nut is already tight, how does the sheave open?

Rode yesterday 200 miles in the Gaylord, Indian River area. Snow conditons were great for this early in the season. I rode in worse conditons last January. The trails were white, frozen and snow covered throughout the entire area. Grooming was spotty. Freshly groomed in some areas, others...

I bought a pair of Klim Adrenaline boots at the show last year. Best boots I have ever owned. Getting a pair for the wife this year.

When I bought my 06 Apex I truly wanted a vector but did not want the traditional riding position. The 120 was enough horsepower for me. I test rode the 05 vector and it felt much lighter than my 03 rx1. I thought the ideal sled would be the vector motor in the apex chasis. This has...

I've had difficulty starting my 06 apex on a cold start a couple of times this year. Temps were not extreme, in the 20f range. The fuel pump relay is cycling so I know that is not the problem. After the pump cycles, hit the key and the engine cranks but will not start. Repeat this process a...

For the last 2 post's, coldone and shinze, what were the conditions when the failure occurred? ie trail riding or high speed riding. Seems most are happening after long wide open throttle lake runs or on a railroad bed for miles. Just curious.

I purchased a bv2s at the beginning of the season. I was just about to proclaim it the best helmet I have ever owned until the other night. Riding condtions were very cold -5F. About 15 minutes into the ride the shield started fogging pretty good. It wasn't so bad that I could not see, but...
