    Chain case overfill - is it a problem?

    I changed the gears on my '14 RTX from 24/50 to 21/41. The new bottom gear is drastically smaller that the stock bottom gear so it has less total length of chain wrap on it vs the stock gear and it does not sit as far down in the oil bath in the chain case due to its smaller radius as compared...

    New to me '06 Apex - what do I check, clean and/or adjust?

    Steiner - thanks for the input. I am already looking at clutching, W-arm, front end bushings, bearings, reverse adjustment, sensors, relays, fuses, wiring, full exhaust inspection and doing a good general tear-down clean/inspection. I am sort of anal about my equipment and wont be happy with it...

    New to me '06 Apex - what do I check, clean and/or adjust?

    I just purchased an '06 Apex with 9,480 miles on it. For the most part it is a clean sled with new carbides and new track with about 500 miles on it. I know the exhaust donuts are toast so they need to be replaced. I have no idea if the flex pipes, y-pipes or exhaust pipes are cracked or not...

    Jackshaft update kit part numbers

    I checked the parts diagrams for 2017 Vipers and Sidewinders and the chain case assemblies are the same. Hopefully BOP has what I need but if they don't I can get everything new from Babbits fir only $430 which includes shipping.

    Jackshaft update kit part numbers

    I guess I get to become a Viper mechanic expert after this endeavor. The only things I have not taken off the chassis so far is the front suspension, motor, and steering. Everything else has to come out to be able to get that fricken inner chain case cover out.

    Jackshaft update kit part numbers

    Just sent a message to travis at BOP with what I need. He is parting out two Sidewinders which I believe will work right?

    Jackshaft update kit part numbers

    No. I just found out that the flange in the chain case behind the jack shaft bearing is broke out as well from about the 3 o'clock position to the 9 o'clock position so I guess I get to replace the inner case now to.

    Jackshaft update kit part numbers

    This one let go bad enough that when the ball bearings and carrier came out they caused a jamb up that broke the shaft the reverse gears are supported by in half. Don't know how that happened because there was no damage to any of the gears, chains or reverse actuator parts and the track never...

    Frustrated with Yamaha

    If the Nytro valve works, this might be a good "Sticky" for others to search to help solve their problems. Contact Cannondale if it does work and he can get it set up on the "Sticky" section.

    Characteristics of changing heel, mid, tip primary cam weights???

    I was told the same thing. I was also told to avoid placing weight in the middle location unless needed because it will cause the system to recover rpm slower if you back off and get back in the throttle in that 40 - 60 mph range. However, I was informed if you want better corner-to-corner...
