It's only 8000 miles, I thought valve adjustment was at 25000. Any harm in checking them?

I ordered a 4 gauge tool to see about getting these balanced and I'll report back.

Yeah, I'm not touching those without the proper tools. I used to ride Honda Valkyries and have synced the 6 carbs on those, even built my own tool. I'm sure it's similar to syncing the throttle bodies, even with fuel injection vs carb. Do you think that out of sync throttle bodies would...

I got everything back to were it was before I started fiddling with things: it comes down from throttle properly without hanging up on what I was calling the 2nd stage but the idle is too low, about 1100 RPMs. The black idle air screw was causing my high idle issues, most likely because I was...

My wife's stock 06 Attak has always had a bit of a low idle and would occasionally shut off at a stop. It would need a little blip of the throttle to get it to catch and off we'd go, occasionally needing to repeat this. Ran like a top otherwise. I thought the idle stop was a little too far...

My wife rides an Attak which has been studded and my 08 Apex 40th LTX just can't make it through the same stuff, especially in the late season when the south facing slopes turn to ice. She's waited at the top of several hills while I try repeatedly to get up them and just laughs in the...

Yes, I actually did. Ran all winter with it and no issues, hauled stuff out ice fishing a few times. I'll get some pics posted and dig the part number back up off eBay.

Thanks for the pointers. Steering slop minimal, even less than my sled. I'll check both those things. The snow was packed but very dry, so that could have had something to do with it. I'll check her carbides tomorrow.

We finally got both the sleds out today and it was my wife's first time on her 06 Attak. She loved it but complained that the back end felt a little squirelly, like it wanted to fishtail out in corners. The suspension is all in the stock setup as far as I can tell. I out 65lbs in the fox...

Well, I ordered an Apex tow bumper SMA-8HG41-10, I believe this is the one for an 11-17 XT-X. I'll post my results. The bar is straight with a single curve in the back, which is different from the other similar tow bar which has a few more angles on the arms and a compound curve on the back.

Are you talking about something like this? Just drill new holes on the back of the tunnel for the plate and whever they are needed for the tube? Are they the same width? The one that seems widely available is the SMA-8HG41-10 part for a 11-14 xtx...any idea if that would work?

Does that attach in the same stock locations or did you have to drill the tunnel or new hitch? Is it that much beefier? It looks like the proper Apex ones had a plate going forward to the add more attachment points in the tunnel.

I can't seem to get my hands on an actual Yamaha hitch for either my 06 Attak or 08 GT LTX 40th. I'd love to find the double tube bumper one but no luck so far. Ice fishing season is quickly approaching and now that I've sold my last Ski-Doo grand touring, I'm without a hitch. Has anybody...

I just got home from picking up a 2018 SRX120 50th Anniversary Edition off the showroom floor. The wife ok'd it but only if it matched my 40th Anniversary or her Attak, so luckily I found this. Can't wait to let my daughter get on it this fall and my son to inherit the Kitty Kat. Is there a...

Drat, won't work with a seat jack!

I'll probably be in for 2! We were just trying to figure out how to get fuel on our Apex and Attak for this winter.

Barn of parts came through with one, as well as a windshield bag, for a great price! Thanks for the suggestion and thanks to SAB1 for being willing to help me out.

I'll get a picture of it for you. PM incoming.

Are hood bags available for the Apex anywhere? My wife's new Attak came with saddlebags, windshield bag, and the hood bag and I'd like to match the sleds up. Found the matching saddlebags on eBay for $45, and I see windshield bags on there, but I can't find anything about the hood bag. Were...

Yes, the 08 Apex has coil over and the electronically adjustable Ohlins, the 06 Attak has Fox Floats.
