Common issue, that heat exchanger cracks behind the secondary at the top near a weld. Seen it 3 times now. My nephew is replacing his on a 14 with 16,500 miles as I type this.

Your ready for some serious maintenance on these clutches. Hard to say what all needs to be done but the common wear items are plastic buttons in the secondary. The primary has 3 wear items, rollers, fly weights and sliders. The sheave faces may also need some attention but you would need a...

So, I had the wrong Vivid Red Cocktail, thanks for helping out JMS.

Any updates on this issue? My buddies 18 started this falling flat on its face, sled has 9,000 miles, backfired and now wont go over 7,000 RPMS.

I found the invoice for the red color match paint, It's Yamaha Vivid Red Cocktail #7 (VRC7) YAM109

I know this goes against all logic but have any tried pulling the limiter straps tighter? I did it this year along with keeping the center shock spring loose. Front shock springs loose also. I'm also using a trac link adjustable limiter strap. Made minor adjustments each day with it, loosen it...

Our group also has Rocks ride Lites, he also offers a mount that's pretty slick.

I don't recall there being matching bibs, jacket yes. Sorry but I cannot find that invoice, I know I have it but just can't locate it. I saved it for future reference....one of those I'll put it here, so I won't forget where it is.

I hope they do RED color scheme for 2024.

This was a couple of season ago but we found the touch up paint from Yamaha for the red, white and blue. Give me a couple of days and I will find the invoice from Yamaha. The red was a 2 part process, neither bottle had anything that looked red but when applied it turned red and a perfect color...

Take a deep breath....exhale. Everything will be alright. On my 18 it seemed like it would just eat coolant the first couple of years, would have to fill the overflow jug it seemed a couple times a season. It never over heated when riding always around the 170* mark. Then just like that it has...

Same thing in Ohio, full coverage for 2 months and comprehensive for the other 10 months. Do the same thing with my Jeep.

This^. Been there with oil everywhere.

I don't think so, my brother paid $1800. but had both clutch side bearings replaced and some welding on the header for that price. If you become a VIP member TY will send you a PDF of the service manual for your sled. That will help you out some. It's a big job. Just bought the heat exchanger...

Doing a track change on my nephews 14, tore it apart last week, it hung all week waiting for new track, arrive yesterday morning to install new track only to find coolant on the floor where these heat exchangers like to crack. Sure enough, cracked on that weld. The hardest part now is finding...

Now I understand the bucking as this sled has no sit in with those 14 torsion springs and is riding at the top of the travel. Lets try and get to why it is bottoming with just the saddle bags attached. Even with that weight being further back from center it can increase it's load overall on...

Common problem on these Vipers. My brother just had his start leaking on our last trip for the second time in the past 3 years. Dealer repaired both times. First one he was still under warranty....thankfully.

I learned something today....sorry PAvector. Here is what I'm going off, in our group there 2 14 Vipers one an RTX and the other an LTX and 2 16 Vipers one a RTX and the other an LTX. The kid that rides the 14 LTX is 175# in street clothes and he's never complained once about it bucking or...

Where the shock attaches towards the front of the skid is that arm in the up position or is it down?
