Thank you for your feedback! I bought the updated Yamaha Airshock from Travis Barn of parts. I installed it on my Wife’s Vector. What a difference! It took very few miles for me to tell. I own a old Cat with an M-10. So I have something to compare too. But like you I would not feel comfortable...

That tells us tha Yamaha actually. Was involved in the design. Not buying out the aftermarket design! Let’s hope for the best. Lol!

I had a finger reattached. At least 2 knuckles worth. I put RSI heaters on my 2 stroke Cat and added Skinz Heat loc Handguards trail series. I bought doo 3 finger leather gloves. And it worked. I have put heatloc handguards on both my Vectors. And it allowed us to run with the stock windshields...

Just curiosity. Is it Variable assist?

Well said! We well see what happens!

I used to be a Honda technician. But have worked on many Japanese motors over the years. Never had to shim to do valve adjustments. Just needed a feeler gauge, a wrench and a flathead screwdriver! Times have sure changed. P. S. Back then I only heard of Volkswagen motors needing shims to adjust...

Seat heaters would be like coolant sensors. You know thermistors. They have a lot of resistance when they are cold. And least resistance when there hot. You know like our Ladie friends! Hope I don’t get cancelled for this? P. S my wife has been complaining about no seat heater for years! Hope...

He is right about this condition. The carbon deposits on the intake valves soak up fuel. You will get many opinions on this. I was trained by Ford to do walnut shell blasting while valves were closed to correct this. I am sure there are better ways to deal with this now. The carbon deposits soak...

Thank you very impressive. I used to ride with a buddy. Who rode a Skidoo mod 700. With an expert X. He was adamant about the torque. Next year we rode he was on a 2003 RX1! That got my attention. He introduced me to the up north trail system. Mn and Wi. I have been hooked ever since.

So I traded a Automotive Alignment machine spec database update to one of my customers. Who used to be a Cat dealer. He had Multiple Mohawk ski kits hanging on his walls. They came with the mount plates. Procross. And they came with 4 inch SLP carbides. I put them on my Wife’s Vector. She railed...

Sorry do not mean to insult anybody’s opinion on here. My blood used to be Cat Green. And I believe you. I said on here along time ago my dream sled would be a Viper with the aftermarket power steering. And the King Air rear suspension. And Team Fast front Airshocks. I will say though that the...

Great pictures! I have no problem subscribing to this site! Hope I never need the service manuals. But glad to know they are available. I saw a recent post in the Rs forum that made me think. I would not attempt that without the service manual. He was looking for info on lining up the balance...

Well said went for a ride today with my Wife. She is suffering from long haul COVID now. First time this season I got her on her sled. She did fine physically. I am 61 1/2 years old my Left shoulder is getting weak from 43 years of wrenching. If My Vector did not have power steering. I would be...

Block tester. If your head gasket is leaking you will get carbon monoxide into your cooling system. I have never used one on a sled. New to 4 stroke sleds. 4 years ago was my first. But a block tester is cheap. It is a tube with a suction bulb on top. And a rubber cone on the bottom. Fill it...

So I am glad to see. People still have the passion for this sport like I have. I bought my first dirt bike in 1972. After saving up from my paper route. I was 10 years old. So I had to have my Dad take me to the dealership in Alexandria Virginia. I lived in Maryland. You know right outside the...

Look on the Sidewinder trail forums. New 2022 gets power steering. Lots of interest in the New release. My 2 cents.

She would love the YCCT or programmable throttle. Like my Vectors have. But sadly I don’t see that happening. Unless they invested in throttle bodies and Yamaha electronics on these new models. My wife loved this feature. And after putting her on an Apex with EPS. She stated I love the EPS. But...

I have duraflex scratchers on my Wife’s Singleshot Vector. They stay up on the rails so far. But if they are down and you forget. They will stop you dead in your tracks. No pun intended. Lol when you drive up on a drive on trailer. They catch on the beginning of the deck. Happy with them but we...

I will never forget. About 20 years ago. I had the itch to ride bad. Did not want to go by myself. I talked my brother in law. Not a sledder into going to the Northshore State trail. Unloaded at the parking lot north of Two Harbors. Went a few miles down the trail. Stopped I do not remember why...
