    20hp intake mod on a carbed Vec?

    Thats interesting. I have a feeling that its BS though. 20hp is a pretty big gain.

    How many miles did you get on your sled this season 2022-2023?

    I'm at 3650 kms so far this year. One last ride on Saturday which should add 300 kms to the grand total. After that I'll be calling it a year. Time to burn AVGAS through the Cessna!!!

    '09 Vector LTX GT - Low Top Speed?

    This weekend my sled showed 162 kph. Take it for what it is... I think the Nytro is geared slightly lower than the Vector.

    2006 RS Vector

    Torsen springs I meant to say. My sled with no weight on it is fully up. Soon as I sit on it, it settles in place. If it sinks 8" and it only has 12" of travel that only leaves 4" of movement. Your #*$&@ and back are going to be shot. My friends Arctic Cat F8 we had to change out the torsen...

    '09 Vector LTX GT - Low Top Speed?

    Clean your carbs and sync them. Put a new belt on it.

    2025 Yamaha sled release

    Japanese sleds had issues too. I just found that overall they were a better build sled over the long haul. This is the reason I still ride my RS Nytro.

    2025 Yamaha sled release

    I would be interested in a Yamaha powered Catalyst. It’s a sharp looking sled. Everyone is belly aching that it’s only coming with a 600 but I would be fine with that power. I just would rather ride a 4 stroke. 1049 would be fine if it ran a Japanese ecm. A snowmobile is useless if it won’t...

    2025 Yamaha sled release

    The days for Yamaha are numbered. Once Arctic Cat stops making the Procross, Yamaha is done. Thats my guess.

    Small idler wheels 6005 bearing Rear wheel 6004 bearing Upper idler wheels 6205 bearing Thats what I have for my notes on my sled. I'm pretty sure they were the same on my friends 2013 XTX.

    2024 Yamaha snowmobile releases, March 14, 2023

    I would buy one except the cost. Toss a bit more in the pot for the Sidewinder. I just think both are so horribly overpriced.

    06 Apex broke down, need info

    I greased that bearing too. I changed it out last summer. It was near its end of life but still ok. It is more of a pain to do but not too bad. More time consuming than anything. The speedo track bearing is only 20 bucks for the NTN. Not worth the effort to grease it for 20 bucks. Anytime you...

    Opinions needed from experienced nytro gurus. Hit a deer…

    Part it out. Count your blessings you are not hurt and move on.

    Best permanent way to fix the leaky donuts

    The donuts now come in a kit through Yamaha. Comes with a new stainless screw. The dealer said the new ones are different than what originally came on my sled. No idea what’s different but not too concerned. They were simple to change.

    I tried to upload my bearing video but it’s too big.

    06 Apex broke down, need info

    I'm not a huge fn of the re-grease method. I did this and the bearing failed. You don't know if its shot unless you pull it out or wait until it completely fails. I have video of me spinning the bearing once it was off my sled. Sounds horrible. It was re-greased every year. I just replaced that...

    06 Apex broke down, need info

    Those bearings need to be changed out somewhat regularly. When they fail things get expensive.

    2005 Vector RS Proactive Front/Center Shock Replacement

    I'm not sure if yours is exactly the same as mine but.... both my skid shocks were rebuildable.
