If you or dealer take starter out make sure that the starter bolts that hold body on did not loosen. This can make starter spin backwards and not engage.If thats not it they problably will replace it.That can get very pricey. 800$ plus with labor.

Thanks for the info. I do plan on taking the skid out ,but I'm glad to here i dont have to remove drivers.

Quick question on the pto side drive bearing.Can i remove it without taking skid out and drivers. Looks like it comes out from outside of speedometer side. Do i just have to loosen track to get some play in drivers to push it out.Thanks for any info.

My brother has a 07 600 rev, so i have a lot seat time on both sleds. I have a 07 rtx. The first thing you will notice is the lack of bite in the corners compared to your rev. With stock skis the apex's just cant corner as well as a rev. I think its a combination of skis and weight of the...

I know this subject has been talked about alot, but my questions concerns the switch from 07 bars to 06 bars for hot grips. I have a 07 rtx and was wondering is there any difference in length or shape of bars from the different years. I thought i read once on a post that they were different. I...

Whats your opinion from what they look like in person how long they will last. Like steel guage and how well are they put together.

I'd like to know if you guys are finding the need to shim the pilots,and if so how thick of shims. Also i tried calling dealers around me (wi) for availability for them and every time they punch in part #860200166 for upgrade kit it shows freestyle ski instead. Anyone else have this...

I agree, in crertain conditions the steering becomes extremely heavy,like wet snow, with limiter pulled up a hole. My rtx was in centerhole stock. I moved it up 1 hole but put it back and then loosened center shock as soft as it can go and pumped up air pressure in floats. Seems to be a good...

Your setting are pretty much what I'm running,except you should try running center shock as soft as possible. Too stiff can give impression of stiff ride even with rear cams set on soft.I've had better luck running limiter in stock position (center hole) and that enables you to soften that...

I've spent a lot of time on a 07 phazer gt that my brother in law owns. I have an 07 rtx. The phazer's motor feels like a quad on snow compared to my apex. Though it keeps up fine in the woods. Just no comparison with throttle response and pull. The phazer is easier to stand up on while riding...

Turning clicker clockwise will stiffen ride, counterclockwise will soften. You can see I've set mine on the soft side for best ride. I agree with your thoughts on coupling as it does stiffen ride when both shocks compress together. But i believe the ride suffers from coupling too soon also. Ive...

You definetly want to back off spring pressure on center shock. Mines backed off till shock spring is loose then tightened just enough so it doesnt rattle or move around. The only thing i dont agree with is the front float pressure. I tried around 30psi but found that runs these shocks too far...

My brother-in-law has a 07 gt with starter problems. My dealer told me same thing about oil pressure. There needs to be sufficiant oil pressure in moter before they will start. I know his has always struggled to turn over compared to my apex. He started a new 08 for me in his showroom and it...

Thanks for the info. That expalains it a lot better than the mags put it. The reason I even brought it up considering a couple psi doesnt make much difference is just how low some people are running the floats at,so was interested in what accual reading in shock would be. Thanks again.

I read in an older mag about air pressure readings on the floats. They said there is about 3 to 4 psi in pump hose when getting a reading. So if you pump to 50psi and read that number you acually have about 46 psi in shocks. Ive tried checking pressure right after i put in and get same reading...

My first time oil and filter change took me about 2 hours. I think after doing it once it will take about hour and half. It cost me about 14 dollars for filter and i think it was about 25 $ for 4 quarts of yamalube 0-30.

I put on about 500 miles so far on my 07 RTX, and i agree totaly with your thoughts on the handling. The darting is my main issue . You can rip on Yamaha, but my firecat had the same problem from day one. I ended up replacing the skis, but i dont want to on this one. I think one of the problems...

I personaly would be leary of these things. They look like they would last about 50 miles and be gone. I had a set of slp straight line tracking skis on my firecat before my yamaha and they had a spoon type of deal you could put in front of carbide to help darting. Well they lasted about 100...

Mine was set right in the middle. I beleive 1 hole showing on each side of bolt. Could you give an update on how it handles for you if your raising up one hole. I talked to Scott Bergstrom about this and he's against putting anymore weight than neccesary on the already heavy front end of these...

I put Yamalube 0-30 semi-syn. It comes in a new packaged bottle if you do go with it. (silver instead of black), so dont be concerned , its same oil. One other note about changing the oil, make sure before you start to buy extended allen socket drivers for airbox boots. Their in there pretty...
