    Vector replacement starter help

    It would appear that 8GL-81890-01-00 superceded 8GL-81890-00-00 and that is what the '-01' is indicating; it's the next revision of the previous part number of 8GL-81890-00-00. More than likely, that is why Parts Nation only shows results for the 01 (ie. it's the only current part number)...

    Vector replacement starter help

    Not sure what you used for looking up replacement parts but when I looked up part# 8GL-81890-01-00, comes back as the starter for just the 2023 Sidewinder whereas part# 8GL-81890-00-00 comes back as the starter for a plethora of Yamaha snowmobiles like the Nytro, Venture, Vector, and older...

    weird cold idle issue

    I remembered reading this post last year about the thermowax causing idle issues during cold starts. Might be something to look into/consider:

    steiner's Attak upgrades

    Maybe I've been fortunate all these years as I do have a replacement cable after reading of others having had issues with theirs. I just wished it was the cable instead of the W arm as it would have been much cheaper to replace.

    RX-1 Broken Carb T's

    I'm not so sure #51 is the T you are looking for as that appears to be the pipe circled in red. I have a rack of carbs I separated for the T's circled in blue. What I found to be the case with T you are looking for is that the rubber sleeves (circled in black) can be bad:

    No power at fuel pump and gauge pod

    What about the possibility of this being related to one of your grounding blocks starting to corrode? Have you gone thru and followed your harness to inspect all of them?

    steiner's Attak upgrades

    Not directed at you @steiner, but I always have to chuckle when I hear others complain of their EC Shock cable breaking when I have over 20,000 miles on the original one in my 08 LTX GT. I've always followed that tech bulletin that Yamaha released outlining where to zip-tie the cable. I added...

    steiner's Attak upgrades

    Although the turbo one would be fun to ride, at least the one you bought has the good GYTR shocks. ;)! I like the white seat but knowing how dirty and how much I have to clean the red on the two Apex seats, I can see keeping it clean will be a challenge; just would hate to dye over the...

    Vector replacement starter help

    When it comes to electrical components like the stator I replaced, I tend to agree with Teamblue4 and stick with OEM. However, when the starter failed on my 08 Apex, I opted to go with one of @hibshman25 of Barn of Part aftermarket starters. The ONLY reason I opted to go with an aftermarket...

    Positive Vibes for Jan 1 Trip

    We were able to stay and ride on Lake Gogebic last year between Christmas and New Years and was hoping to do the same this year but that doesn't appear to be the case this year. Here's to hoping conditions improve!

    2006 vector gt electrical issues

    Not sure if your year Vector had this feature as I do know there were some sleds this does not work and the dash does not power up until the engine has started. Hold down on the thumb warmer button, and turn the key. After ten seconds of holding the thumb warmer button down with the key in the...

    2006 Apex GT Help Separating The Exhaust pipes from Silencer Assembly

    It appears the OP wants to replace the gaskets (#17) and needs to separate the headers from the exhaust. What you stated above was also something I forgot to mention as wiggling and rotating certainly helped than just pulling straight backwards.

    Replacing Steering Shaft Joints

    OMG, you were right again @74Nitro; those nuts are actually for the track deflection adjusters. :o| Had the suspension out to have @cannondale27 service the EC Ohlins shock and also had to replace some idler wheel bearings and the hyfax and must have laid those nuts on top of the tunnel...

    Replacing Steering Shaft Joints

    Good point as I'm multi-tasking and may have mistakenly grab the incorrect nuts. I have my '18 to compare. Good catch!

    Replacing Steering Shaft Joints

    Goods news/bad news. Bad news first, it does not appear just torquing to 25ft/lbs is going to properly seat these joints as doing so does not expose the cotterpin hole. Now for the good news, thanks to the tip 74Nitro passed along, I was able to get the new joint out very easily without...

    2006 Apex GT Help Separating The Exhaust pipes from Silencer Assembly

    Generally, as long as you loosen the #20 bolts on the #18 clampls but leave the #5 bolts tight on the #3 clamps and leave both #15 bolts securing the headers tight, you can pull #21 apart from #13 & #14 by standing in front of the muffler exhaust outlets and pulling. Heat around the header...

    Replacing Steering Shaft Joints

    Ok, I was totally envisioning something completely different. Thanks for the vid as I now understand what you meant; just never knew to do that but guarantee you I will next time. Thanks again, @74Nitro
