    Excell exhaust repacking

    There's nothing fancy or difficult needed to pack those mufflers. The original had some tape around the packing material, possibly to make it easier to install. Get yourself a bag or 2 of quality packing and just stuff it full. I say 2 bags cuz it seems to take a lot. And use gloves or you'll be...

    2007 rtx

    Prices for used (and new) items are all over the map right now. Sleds included. I have seen prices for first gen Apex's as low as 3k and as high as 6k. A lot of factors go into into deciding on an asking price. One of the more important one's is, how quickly do you want to sell it???

    Replacement Apex Engine Source?

    Good catch Bob. The 5 valve heads had a reputation for valves recession and loss of clearance. This causes many of the issues being described. Including hard starting.

    Replacement Apex Engine Source?

    Those numbers are very low. Did you hold the throttle wide open while cranking? That would make a huge difference. If so, you are defintely looking at a problem.

    Still luv the blue SRX. Just wish they would offer that sled (any trail sled) in a 129" track. Still NOT ready to go 137" yet.

    Talk about a THIN "trail" lineup. Wew! Yamaha's expeditures on sleds HAS to be at an all time low!

    Overheated

    If after replacing the plugs and broken coil/cap, it still doesn't sound right, the next step would be a compression or leak-down test.

    2023 Polaris VR1 and Assault Boost

    Loosing a piston on a 2S is nothing new. Been happening for decades, and will continue to happen. Regardless of brand, whether N/A, or force fed. Just sayin. But, I agree that as a 2S gets pushed harder for output, the chances of that happening increase. Other "safety" measures need to be taken...

    2023 Polaris VR1 and Assault Boost

    LOL Again, the piston issue has yet to be "PROVEN" Whatever the outcome, as some on here have already pointed out, at least their trying to be innovative! It's a BOLD move! And if it works out, the consumer will really benefit! And if it doesn't, well, I think it's fair to say that Poo has alot...

    I believe that March 24th is the last day to spring purchase a new Poo. Wonder if that's by design???

    In my recent trip to the UP, Doo's were BY FAR the most popular brand. Poo's were probably second with Cat a close 3rd. Yammi's were few. True shame

    2023 Polaris VR1 and Assault Boost

    touche' However, most of my mods were for added performance, or to update an older design to enjoy more modern performance expectations. Fixing factory flaws/shortcomings was far less expensive. And didn't require vast amounts of owner R&D.

    2023 Polaris VR1 and Assault Boost

    You're right! I feel soooo much better about a brand new sled who's clutch rattles like it's gonna fall off! AND has KNOWN fatigue/cracking issues. Wondering what's going to happen first; a blown belt or clutch failure that throws shrapnel as it fails at high speed! AND requires $1,000+...

    2023 Polaris VR1 and Assault Boost

    Seems like alot of guys are already making predictions. How quickly y'all forget how the Winders had their share of problems that it took years to get solved. And yes, 5 years later STILL haven't been addressed by the factory.

    2023 Polaris VR1 and Assault Boost

    I thought I was done with 2s for good also. But, the weight of my Apex is something I still have not come to terms with in 17yrs of trying. I ride the wife's MXZ600 and it is sooo light and maneuverable that it makes me wonder why I've held out this long. If it wasn't for the Genesis 4cyl, I'd a...

    New Top Speed

    Changing out the skid would be my other option. I've begun to think about a Fast M20 or King Air, but those would be an even more expensive option. Just don't know how much money I wanna keep dumping into an older sled.

    New Top Speed

    My current setup is listed on my sig. And I am still on the fence. I absolutely love the engine performance of my sled but, that's about it. With each passing season the suspension shows its age. On nice groomed trails it will still rail with the best of them. But, once those trails...
