so the handling issue is more than just the sucky Yamaha skis? The reason I started this topic is because I'm the only one in my family who rides (I'm 28) and I'd like to get some of my family into it. My brothers (22 and 25) want too go riding but can't a ford a sled and probably wont be...

do you mean active rider by using body english to turn the sled? would this be a good sled for first time snowmobilers?

I'm planning my budget to buy another sled next year. I'm keeping my RS Nytro and thinking about buying a Phazer for another sled for myself and also a guest sled assuming I like my RS Nytro more. If I were to ride the phazer coming from my RS nytro will I miss the extra power from the bigger...

you could check your pilot jets. I had something a little like this but not to your extent. I cleaned my carbs for the first time and when revving my sled would hang at around 2,000 rpm for a second or 2 then sometimes longer and then it would go back down to normal. Every time I hit the...

anyone know of a good dealer in central NY? I have M&R Sports and Mower here but haven't had very good luck with them and how they have treated me. First bad experience with them I went in looking at sleds with posibly buying and the guy said "I have a great deal for you on this left over...

this may be a stupid question but do you think it's possible for conversion kits to convert older yamaha sleds to use the new power steering technology in a kit? I wonder if the power steering ends up being a success if yamaha will make this for their older sleds.

When I first bought my Nytro I ended up with best resolts by lowering the front Fox Floats so the arms are parallell...usually anywhere between 55-60 psi. Then I loostened the front rear shock a little, center compression clicker a a few clicks to the right past default ( which is 11 clicks, I'd...

I've been happy with my Nytro and I only trail ride. As far as bottoming out on the sled it's true and I have but not often. I am on the light side weighing about 175 lbs with gear though. You can always upgrade the shocks and make them stiffer or softer and a lot of guys have with many...

Thanks man. I'll definitely give this a shot tomorrow. I need to get my heavy steering fixed and I know my ski alignment is off at least a little. Sled corners like its on razors but there's so much ski pressure that my muscles are sore by end of the day. Today we rode 180 miles and I'm so sore...

In order to do a proper ski alignment you have to losen both bolts (ski side and also the bolt that's inside the sled belly area? and in order to get to the inside bolt do you guys take the battery right out?.... seams like a pain in the #$%&* just to get to the inside bolts to make such a...

I don't ride off trail but generally speaking 4 stroke sleds are a little heavier than 2 strokes due to larger engines. 4 Strokes have more torque and 4 stroke engines are more reliable than 2 stroke engines. With the proper setup even with the 4 stroke off trail, it will be a great sled...

Last weekend I rode from my parents to a buddies house then we went from there for a ride. I logged everything on my 60CSX which was awesome. The problem is that the GPS added a long track from my house to my buddies and it's a perfect straight line and not even close to the route I took riding...

are those the 3 black squares?

I'm doing it right now then haha one time I almost had it and then it spun around and I ended up with a small cut on my finger. Now I know its supposed to be that way so Ill try harder and get it on there and not worry about breaking something. Thanks for the quick replies :Rockon:

Len how do you clean the new belt to get the mold off? I just ordered 2 new factory yamaha belts and this is the first time I heard to clean them before using them. ALso how do you check center to center on the clutches? I have a service manual but it doesnt mention that. Just how to check the...

Thanks Turk. If you dont turn it and install it would it cause backshifting issues and also belt problems? These are what I have been having and guessing it's because I never twisted it during the first install. Also at the very end once the bolts are on but not all the way on firm it says to...

I installed the Ulmer clutch kit and noticed my secondary clutch was very grimey and rough looking so I took the seconadry apart to clean. While reinstalling I realized I may not have installed the kit right the first time. During the instructions after the spring is set and the new helix is on...

Does anyone know the spanner wrench size for front rear suspention shock? I've looked and can't find it. I want to make some changes and do some testing. Last year I used a hammer and screw driver but it was a pain and took for ever. I want to get the proper spanner wrench this time around.

I did the same recently. I had a anti syphon tubing I bought from Lowes. I dont remember the exact name of it but you can probably find it at Walmart also. It has a metal piece at one end of the hose. You put that end into the sled tank and shake the hose up and down and that will allow the...

haha me either but if you've seen the chipmunk movie and then imagine them chuckling for a a few seconds that the best I can describe the sound and it's only when letting off throttle quick. If I slowly let off it doesn't do it. You guys are probably right and the sheaves are probably sticking a...
