    SnowTrackers on the X-TX Mountain Skiis?

    Update and Review. Prior to my last ride I installed SnowTrackers on my 2019 X-TX LE. The sled is a unstudded 141" 1 3/4 back country that came with the Mountain Skis. I have been using fairly aggressive carbides on the sled since I purchased it new in 2019. Yesterday we did a 300 mile ultra...

    2011 Apex Sputter mid range

    Surprising there are no stored codes. I am sure you have changed the plugs, also you could have dirty injectors. Try a couple cans of sea foam in the fuel tank...you may get lucky. When the Yamacharger was installed did you also install a fuel controller like a PC5 ? When I installed the...

    2017 sidewinder unknown mods help.

    Usually when a tune is referred to as 270 its Hurricane. You could call Hurricane and with your serial number they should be able to tell you if its their tune.

    2025 Riot 9000 Turbo

    Things to check: -if you haven't already...get it in a warm place and thaw it out completely -check for water in solenoid hoses - boost tubes split or off completely...check the one that hooks to the turbo - hose or connection has come off of map sensor -and IMO most likely...you need a new Map...

Snow conditions so far are stellar and the trails are groomed perfectly with very little traffic. We did a 250 mile day ride yesterday in as good of conditions as we have ever had...

    New to me 2018 LTX LE 50th - Engine temps?

    These sleds can be a real challenge to completely bleed all the air from the cooling system. If you use the search function there should be lots of tips and techniques on " bleeding the cooling system" or "overheating.

    oil contamination...

    I agree with KnappAttack as well. If it is NOT LOSING ANTI FREEZE...I would put in some inexpensive oil, run the sled for a short warm up, drain the oil again, change the filter, remove and clean the oil tank and oil lines. When reassembling the oil tank be very fussy sealing it back up to the...

    worst case senario

    The heads tend to crack around the casting plugs visible under the valve cover. The plugs look like big pipe plugs and the cracks are hard to detect but around these. I think it was Turboflash that posted a picture of the cracks a few years ago?
