Must be oiling the filter now for extra protection for the turbo? I've never seen a sticky-oiled foam filter on a sled before this.

Waiting for snow...

I'll have to look at mine, thanks for the heads-up sj. Could it be your dealer saw the foam filter and figured it ought to have the foam filter sticky oil applied similar to an ATV? I sure hope mine isn't like that. I'd give your dealer a call and let them know the issue. Either way, if they...

I'm wiring them direct to a key on power source and not installing the switch. I'm doing that later today so I'll let you know where I end up tapping into. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

Make sure you guys get the Hayes brake mounting kit. This pic shows how the left support replaces the stock top piece of the brake clamp and runs over the brake reservoir area. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

Black with blue just installed on my ltx le. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

I'm not sure this is needed. I just read on the arctic cat site that the low beams already stay on when the high beams are activated. Reads: LED W/ ACCENT LIGHT Features LED headlights for enhanced lighting performance. Want the high beams on? The low beam will also stay on to give you a...

Can you document your work in a thread? I would love to see how this is done. (What relay, where you slice, etc.) Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

I'm going with the sentinel in blue/black with the fold-in mirrors and the LED kit.

So you can't see it unless you donate $20?

I've heard a lot of good things about the ice cobra. I just put a 1.22 Ice Attak XT on my apex LTX GT, and I'm either going with that also on the sidewinder or the ice cobra (still undecided). I'm resisting the urge to stud it after I threw a double-stud through my apex front heat exchanger...

If you didn't buy the track already, you could consider an ice attak XT track. 1.22" tall lugs, based on the ripsaw 2, pre-studded enough to give decent traction when the trails get icy. Also they are able to make these single ply, so they weigh about the same as a normal 2 ply track...

Any good arctic cat options you are aware of with additional fuel storage capability? I didn't see any glancing through their site.

sj, I went to Port Yamaha's website yesterday and looking for accessories that only fit the sidewinder I was able to pull up the info on these items and bigger pictures. Seems a lot of the accessories available are making their way now into the online yamaha dealer catalogues.

I'm thinking about the Powder Keg system but not sure if I'm crazy about the looks. Holds over 3.25 gallons of fuel and has 30 liters of hard storage that should be fairly waterproof. There are threads here on TY with pictures showing the system on a Viper.

I think the new sidewinders look badass and the technology incorporated into the engine package is unlike anything we've seen yet in a sled. The shock package on the LTX LE and the heavy duty rear suspension really sweetened the deal for me and helped me pull the trigger. I also always said...

My 09 apex has the heavy duty shaft. I think 09 is when they started upgrading those. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

Are people still busting shafts with the newer updated heavy duty ones? I heard of that being a problem on the older shafts but thought it really wasn't a problem now worth the larger heavy duty drive shafts. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

I have a set lying around that I think I'm going to throw on the new sidewinder this fall. I think I can get them set up right. Steering effort doesn't bother me as long as I can get it so that I have no darting. Can't stand that.

I think by far the best pre studded track is the 1.22" ice attak XT. That is the track I am putting on my apex right now for next year.
