    Considering brand new 06 RS Rage??

    I am trying to convince my brother to come over to Yamaha (from his ZX chassis Doo). He likes the laid back riding position and I think he would love the mileage and riding position of the Rage. I found a 2006 brand new this week, but I am concerned that it has just been sitting for almost 3...

    Apex tunnel re-inforcement kit?

    My buddy got to ride his 06 Apex GT last week for the first time and his tunnel is bent. I have seen discussion about a kit to strengthen that area. Does anyone have a part # or supplier? Thanks.. GW

    Extra Big Boy spring for Apex

    Guys - I have an extra big boy spring from an Apex that I used on my Attak last year if anyone is interested. I installed a HyGear upgrade (haven't tried it yet) and I don't need this spring. P/N 8FU-4789-10-00 PM if interested.. GW

    Thought you guys would like a shot of this. Was supposed to try it out this week in Quebec, but the weather is not cooperating so I thought I would post some pix... GW

    not to beat this chaincase thing to death but...

    I started the original thread about the strange chaincase leak a couple weeks ago. I have read the excellent post by Hondo about the defective dipsticks and I have checked mine. Mine looks absolutely perfect and while I haven't lost any oil since the original incident (and sealing the gasket...

    Cold starting problem - undocumented fix??

    I made another trip to Quebec this week and the weather was the coldest my Attak has seen so far. Day 1, -2F, sled started OK, but idle went very low before coming up to high idle and then red light went out and sled ran great. Day 2, -5 and high winds, sled starts, runs 10 seconds, and...

    Strange chaincase leak on Attak

    My sled cleared 2000 miles this week in Quebec. But I had my first problem (besides wheels, hi-fax wear, bar heaters...). After a long (40 mile) run at high speeds (85+), I noticed some oil under my right foot. At the next clubhouse, I pulled the panel to find a puddle under the chaincase...

    07 Snocross???

    Seems like the logical choice would be the Phazer with an 850 twin based on the 426YZF motor???? I don't think it would add that much weight. Now that would be a pretty tough competitor!

    Quebec next week?

    Anyone intested in heading to Canada next week? I am planning to leave from Jackman either Monday or Tuesday and head up to Rivier du Loup or somewhere around there. Trails were excellent there two weeks ago and they are finally having cold weather next week. PM me or reply here if...

    Parts help, please! need bracket!!

    When I burned out and replaced my two front susp wheels in Canada last week, I must not have gotten one of them tight enough and when I got back to shop I noticed I was missing one completely. That means I need the bracket, bolt and washer (I have a spare wheel). The bracket is PN...

    Difference between Apex and Attak springs?

    Am I correct to assume that the heavier rear spring from the Attak will fit the Apex and the heavier spring from the Apex will fit the Attak?

    First (and last?) trip with Attak - including pix!

    I finally got a chance to take my Attak on some excellent trails this week. I went to Jackman, ME and left from there (trails all decent except in town) and headed north to Canada. As soon as I crossed the border, the trails were amazing. Mid-season and tons of snow. Deer in the trail was...

    suspension install question

    I spent about half an hour yesterday trying to wrestle my suspension back in by myself before finally calling for re-inforcements. Even then, it was a effort. Are there any tips for installing it alone? GW

    Racked Attak!

    After many hours of trimming, bending and drilling, I have finally completed my rack install on my Attak. This is a factory Doo rack which has an optional luggage basket. I have shortened the side rails so there is only about 3 inches of front to rear movement. The rack is also re-inforced...

    Is your seat mounted firmly?

    Since the snow is gone here in New England, I am working on customizing a Doo luggage rack/backrest for my Attak. I noticed when I took the seat off that it is only hitting the tunnel in the center. It is designed to ride on two pads on either side of the center pad which rides on the exhaust...

    suspension out - now what is this spring adjustment??

    I was expecting to be able to move the mount position of the shock to change the approach angle and therefore the stiffness. The manual says there is a setting on the spring. Am I missing something? Thanks! GW

    My Attak, so far...

    Guys - I am new to this forum and am anxious to finally hit the trails tomorrow. This is my first Yammy (except for the awesome SnoSports) and I thought you might like to see my sled as I am attempting to make it into a one-up cruiser. So far, I have changed the paint, installed an Ice...
