    Still hard on sliders

    Hi, I am still killing sliders. In fact, the last set , both sides, snapped the screw in front and wrappped up under the tunnel! I am going to add a Marginal Snow kit in the front and in the back. I'm looking at the big boy spring as well. I posted in the classifieds for these parts as well...

    Which Spark plug in 2012?

    I'm just wondering if Yamaha still put the '9s' in the 2011 and 2012s. Did any 2011 owners switch to the '10s'? Where is the best place to buy them and how much per plug? Thanks.

    Taller gear on the 2011?

    I was just wondering if anyone had put a taller gear in their 2011. Specifically an XTX. There seems to be a lot of guys saying it will rip your arms off but lacks some top end.

    XTX Highlights

    Ok, so I have the 2012 Apex XTX on order. What I would like is to hear from Owners about the Highlights of their sleds, both good and bad. I know guys have posted on this all winter and I searched and researched the threads before I ordered mine. I just thought having all the comments in one...

    Pulled the trigger

    Well if the wife doesn't strangle me before it arrives I'll be driving a black '12 Apex XTX next year. I'd start praying for snow but we just got 6 inches over the weekend lol. Now I need to sell my 08 Apex I guess. Hate the thought of it though.

All the lube in the world and minimal resistance. 127mph on the dream-o-meter and climbing. Hehehe. Bone stock. Except for new USI triple threats (LOVE em...

    Ice scratchers

    Hi. I had a set of ice scratchers that I bought for my 07 RTX that I never installed. It looked like they would fit perfectly though. But when I went to put them on my 08 I can't find a single place where they will mount. These are the type with the coil spring side mount. What is everyone...

    Raising the bar....and seat?

    I would like to raise the bars and the seat on my 08 Ltx Gt. I guess I could live with my seat height if it was firm. Ideally I would like my seat at least 2" taller and the bars 4-6" higher. Can I raise them that much without lengthening the cables. Can I reroute them safely and if so does...

    Could they make these covers tighter?

    I have a brand new black with blue trim Apex cover with the white cloth undercover and it is tight. Really tight. My old cover for my 07 was tight, which is good, but the new one for my 08 is tighter. It is tightest in the handle bars, width wise. The sled is stock. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Snow flap trimming worries

    Hi. I'm thinking of trimming the flap on my 08 Ltx Gt. It keeps tucking under when I back up. Will this have any ill effects such as decreased lube to the sliders or cooling? I'm thinking more snow out the back might mean less build up in the tunnel too. Thanks.

    What to ask and look for before buying

    Hi. I sold my 07 Apex and now I'm looking at an 08 Apex ltx gt. Low miles, traded in to a dealer. No cover they say, 30 day 50-50 warranty. I'm just wonder what to ask them about sled wise. Anything I should really be aware of? Thanks in advance

    Stock Idler Wheel Size

    Seems the stock idler wheels are 5-1/8". So would the 6-1/2" Doo or Polaris wheels be the ones to use, with the 6205 bearings? Thanks

    My Apex slider wear is absurd

    ?Absurd Slider wear I have a huge problem with slider wear on my 2007 Apex RTX with a 144" Tracks USA extension and a 1-1/4" Predator track. I have added the 4th wheel kit and the marginal snow kit with minimal difference. I have tried the track as loose as possible without it ratcheting as...

    buying extended warranty

    I am seriously looking at a 2011 apex xtx here in Canada. My dealers price is awesome. The spring deal offers 2 years extra warranty for a total of 3 years. I would like 4 or 5 if I can get them and don't mind paying a bit for them. I called Yamaha Canada and they weren't sure if I could buy...
