    230+ miles in northern Maine

    I just got back today after putting 230+ miles on. The riding was excellent on the railroad beds and logging roads. The woods trails still need more snow which is forecast over the next several days. We rode the railbed from Washburn to Van Buren came back to the Van Buren Cove area of Long...

    Airwave Suspension on Attak?

    I've been reading a lot about the new Airwave Suspension from FAST. Sounds like a great idea. I'm considering putting it under the new Attak I will soon take delivery of. Any info or suggestions on whether or not it would be a good idea for an Attak?[/i]

    Ice-Ripper track - More hype than bite!

    I purchased the Ice-Ripper track to put on my Apex GT. Although they do provide some extra braking and traction it is a far cry from a conventionally "studded" track, even if the track only has 96 studs. I've put on 1800 miles in a variety of conditions and have not been that impressed with...

    Sylvania Silverstar headlights - Excellent on Apex

    A prime example of how we can benefit from using this site is that I learned about the Silverstar headlights from TY. They make a huge difference in clarity and range. I don't know who first brought it up, but, I'm glad they did. I would recommend them to anyone and for about $35. it's a real...

    Simmons Skis carbide wear question

    I just bought a set of Simmons Skis for my Apex GT from a buddy of mine who had taken them off an '04 Warrior. He had six inch carbides and I notice they were worn heavily in the front, but, hardly at all in the back. I mean they were still at a point on the last 3 to 3.5 inches. Is this...

    Apex/Attak's name on the bathroom wall!!!

    An old teacher I had said "You know you're doing a good job when your name is on the bathroom wall". Otherwise people wouldn't even mention you. Yamaha is getting more discussion in other brand internet sites and among other brand sledders than any other time that I can remember. As far as...

    Handlebar width smaller?

    My sleds are 3 hours away where I normally ride, but, when I got a chance to ride last month it felt as though the handlebar width was shorter than on my Warrior. I didn't measure, but, am wondering if anyone else noticed it and, subsequently, confirmed it.

    Colored wheels on Apex GT

    Since I don't have an accessories catalog (does anyone?) I have to check the internet or count on a recommendation. I decided to put the silver idler wheels on my GT. The blue ones look awesome on my Warrior and I think the silver wheels will look great and break up the dominance of black...

    Wheel bearing question?

    I found out all but two of my suspension wheel bearings were shot after two riding seasons (approx. 6000 miles). Is this normal wear and tear? It seems odd that there'd be that many gone so soon. Insight anyone?

    Another choice in the "Studding Game"

    Like a lot of riders I've been struggling with the decision of whether to stud my track or not. I've decided to go with the Camoplast Ice Ripper track. It's got the same 1.25" lug height with studs similiar to a snow tire embedded in the lugs. It seems to be a good compromise as it gives...

    Windshield options for the Apex GT

    Has anyone upgraded the hood ornament on their Apex GT for a windshield that will actually block wind? If so, is it still chrome? :o

    And after I wiped off my screen

    I was reading (and hearing) the rumors of a new higher hp RX1 with EFI. When I first heard this I needed some paper towels and the ole formula 409 for my screen. Before I get overly excited, is there any concrete information concerning the '06's?

    Do you notice two stroke smell more now?

    Now that I have a 4 stroke I seem to notice the smell of 2 strokers a lot more. I can't stand being behind a group of them. P-U. :shock:
