I think Mountaintech has one as well that relocates the stoc gauge to the handlebars, and might even have places to mount a couple other gauges if I remember right?

5valve, sent you a pm..

This is mine, but I don't have any motor pics on my photobucket right now. I'll get some as soon as I get the sled unloaded from the trailer and back in the shop. It's their own 800 twin motor, but it doesn't look like the architecture is that much different from others, other than the wiring...

They do have great deep snow ability as well with the shallow approach angle, but the components are just plain beefy. I haven't weighed mine yet, but I'll say with relative certainty that it weighs more than my Apex. It surprisingly doesn't feel heavy at all while riding it though. The entire...

I've also got a Redline, and just as 5valve says, it's a heavy pig.. I've also got enough extra pieces to put together 3 more chassis, but don't have motors, electrical, tracks, skis, etc.. The sled is definitely a neat sled to have, but I like to compare it to owning a DeLorean. Really neat...

GUKROKIT -They still broke after replacing with stainless? Are you saying you used stainless screws/bolts, or stainless rivets? Timeline - Your idea of bonding together as well sounds good, but with the difference in materials, what are you thinking would be a suitable material to use? I've...

I think if you read through most threads relating to the topic, Carillo rods have been the predominant choice. I would think however, that if you're not pushing 400hp, and you've got a good engine builder, they'd be able to check any aftermarket set very carefully before using them, and verify...

The Nytro install isn't as difficult or time consuming as the Apex kit, but don't just look at the pictures... Read the entire manual first and ask any questions before you start, it'll save you some headaches later. Be organized, take pics and be patient. It'll pay off in the end!

The big reason powersports haven't gone to MAF is cost, and necessity. The cost factor is not only because the cost of sensors, but the cost to develop ECU systems that can accurately utilize them, and the intake tract packaging and tuning expecses during vehicle assembly. Necessity is for...

I'll assume you are talking about "hi" and low? the main difference is clutching, and usually pulley combinations (boost level) along with a different tune. There usually isn't much to switch them back and forth, and if you keep good notes, you can put your sled back to either configuration...

Sorry to hear you haven't gotten anything, you asked for, but on the 144, they are a different pitch than the newer 128's. (2.52 vs 2.86) The 128's have a wider lug spacing, and most of the new sleds are going to this I believe. I can't compare a 128 for you , but I do have 2 sleds that both...

Wow, talk about a bunch of Black Helicopter Theorists?? What many of you don't realise, and I've posted this before, is that this agreement between Cat/Yamaha is just a supply agreement, and it's been done may times over in many other industries. Remember the early 90's Chevy Nova/Toyota...

Among all of the things everyone else mentioned, don't try to make a bunch of adjustments all at once. Some of this will be redundant to what's been posted already, so I'm sorry, but the following is what I start with. Nearly everybody who's ridden my Apex says it's probably the best...

I've ridden with one person that has attended TY rides in the past from the 2stroke side (ChadG), and he's got an Ice Ripper on his sled, and It wasn't any better off trail than many other sleds, but NOBODY wanted to follow him!! They throw a ton of crap up, that's for sure.. I'm not so sure he...

I put a set of Bergstrom's 8" triple points on my Apex and my XTX, both with C&A Razors, I'm guessing around the winter of '09/10, and they're still as good as new! Worth every penny, and I can't say anything bad about them. I ride ditches and some crappy surfaces here in Iowa when I'm not in...

You might have to explain your setup a little further, as far as your sled and mods, but I'll asssume you're talking about your factory sensors? The best way to know what they are actually telling the ecu is to go through the self diagnostic function and make sure they at least fall within...

Hornet Handler is right, the 8.8 is the "standard" grade bolt in metric ratings, just like the grade 5 in SAE. Ragardless on what they're made of and how they're made, their load ratings and torque specs are similar. The 10.9 is equivalent to the grade 8, and there are grades higher than that...

Depending on what gauge you got, it may have a calibration procedure that is very important to follow or it wont be reading right. some of them require the sensor to be poqwered up BEFORE it gets installed into the pipe so it knows what afr to read when compared to free air outside the exhaust...

Motors these days are built with components made of better materials than they were 20 years ago. We've had this discussion a number of times over the years about break-in, and there's opinions either way. I'm sure all the guys who ride them like they stole them from the day they were new (me...
