ECU”S usually fail due to a bad ground. My 2 cents. If you have a bad ground then too much current goes through the ECU. I have been burned by this before.

Backfiring could be due to not enough voltage to fire the mixture. Also the leaner the mixture the more voltage is required. Just throwing out the hard lessons I learned in my automotive days. Your picture of the top of the piston indicates you don’t have an over rich problem. Otherwise the...

Maybe they bought out the aftermarket vendor who was on here or copied their design. For the power steering. And added there own tweaks?

I agree the King Air suspension is probably the best suspension out there. I was pointing out that the upgraded Singleshot shock was close to my M10. In my older Cat. The only problem is you are depending on one shock. So if it fails you are dead in the water. But I just want to point out that...

If you have a burnt or open exhaust valve. It will pull. Vacuum on the intake stroke. A piece of hard stock paper against the exhaust pipe will verify this. Hold it against the tailpipe . It will pull the hard stock paper to the pipe on the intake stroke. Works on automotive engines with burnt...

20/80 Thanks for the reply. I copied your extra fuel tank. Mount working out great! Only a 1 and a half gallon tank. But it works perfectly. My Wife unfortunately has medical issues. So I do not think she will ever ride again. So I believe I will be selling my 2016 Vector XTX 1.75 Backcountry...

I finally put the updated shock on my Wife’s Vector Singleshot. Thanks Travis for the good deal. I am very impressed. Not as good as the M10 on my old Cat. But very close. I think Hygears Singleshot solution might give you the smoothest Japan built ride. Thanks for posting the Monoshock testing...

I agree with the dealership technician. If you can hit the part the tie rod or steering linkage helm joint connects to with a hammer. The vibration should work. I have disconnected thousands of tie rod ends and ball joints. Automotive ones mind you. I have also used Pickle Forks. When I did not...

May I ask what year model is this for? Sorry but this is scary info.

The Internet is the most powerful diagnostic tool ever created. I appreciate your post. I wish I could have used the internet in 1986 when my son was born with his main arteries to his heart backwards. Instead I had to ask common sense mechanical questions of the doctors. Hated to be so...

If the needle and seat are good. Even extra pressure would cause it to seal off until the float dips. Just a theory.

Great Idea! And simple to do.

I have had good luck with a Uni-Syn Carb tool. Cheap and easy to use. You can google it.

Sounds like putting a head gasket on current Diesel trucks. They have to lift the cab off the frame. WTF! I used to be a factory trained. Powerstroke technician. 10 years out of the trade. The first time I walked into a Ford dealer and saw the cab in the sky. I asked the tech what are you doing...

This bothers me. Maybe I am overreacting. But the exhaust valves are stretching due to heat. I felt this more related to Vipers. Than rear exhaust Sleds. The old school diagnosis for this is to hold a piece of Cardstock paper. To hold it to the exhaust pipe. When the piston goes down on the...

Well said I worked for Caterpillar for ten years. I am now an Independent Contractor for a manufacturer. I have seen this before. But I am going to sound like a broken record. When Yamaha would not back up my defective rear shocks on my Vectors. However they would if I had bought 2 Apex sleds...

Very Interesting!

I have removed pilot bearings from the rear of crankshafts on Cars and Trucks in the past. Filled hole with grease. And pounded an input shaft at it. Works Hydraulic pressure is a force to be reckoned with!

I used to own a ZRT 600 Triple. Hit 110 mph according to Cats Speedometer. LOL. I have a Kawasaki KH400 Triple. To restore. So I appreciate your appreciation. Just wanted to say. Bemidji, MN Craigslist. Has a nice SRX 700 triple listed. If anybody is interested. SXR my mistake.
