Hello to all, Cold season is fast approaching. Well, as I was doing routine PM, I found the chaincase on my 06 GT has been leaking. Fortunately I caught it in time, no damage. I bought the sled new and never had a problem with the cover like many have, until now. My question is, did Yamaha ever...

I know this is off topic, but this forum is usually where I reside and figured this question would get answered here quickest. I'm looking at a 6.5x12 Thule enclosed trailer that is specifically built for bikes. I know I would need to install mats and guides, but my only concern is can I get an...

Does anyone know what incentives Yammi is going to present to customers that snowcheck a new Apex I;E free warrentee upgrade?

I know its off topic, but anyone who rides up here in Maine might like to know we are getting hammered right now. NWS just upgraded storm to a blizzard. Riding should be great next week.

Good winter to all, I have my shock and tranfer rod out of the skid because I felt as though the initial set in on the suspension felt quite soft. I thought the shock might have blown out, but it didn't. The transfer rod looks fine, and is set roughly mid point, and the rod travels about an 1...

In my ignorance, and my grease guns pull strength, I have pulled off both zerqs on the lower front arm. Any recommendations outside of pulling the skid and changing the castings?

Hello to all, yes its snowing here in Maine,,,,again. To the point, My Apex with 2100 miles on the clock has been experiencing some of the symtoms of a bad doughnut, ticking heard from certain areas around the sled on startup, and just sounds louder. No backfiring at all. I pulled the tank and...

I just got some steel rivets to add tip weight to the stock weights and can't figure out how heavy they are. One set are 13.9mm Part#90261-06034-00 the other set is 10.3mm Part#90261-06015-00 I just want to add 2 grams to the tips to pull down the peak RPM from 11000 to 10,800 or so. I...

Just a note for those that have or are going to install an Excell pipe with no other mods including using the stock airbox, Mine was filthy rich on warmup and during low speed running. During warmup, it would almost want to stall from all the fuel. While running, it felt rich. I took out 15...

I'm running just an excell pipe, no other motor mods or equipment on the engine, and the sled seems to run rich. On cold startup the exhaust tone sounds very dirty for 2-3 minutes along with a corrisponding drop in RPM, then eventually it cleans itself up as it warms up. Even while riding, the...

Yes, we have riding in the Northern half of Maine. Got lots of snow. The railbeds are open. Some grooming taking place. Spotty in places. As some of you may have already read my past posts, I undertook the task of stretching my 121 to 136 and installing a 1.5 Intense track. I also geared it...

I just got my Camoplast Intense in yesterday and I am beginning the process of opening up the windows that need it and clipping the entire track. I cut out one window which when smoothly and installed two clips using the "Snow Stuff" clamp style clip tool that looks like a small vise with a...

Just getting ready to put the rear suspension back together and noticed all the plastic bushings in the forward mounts have splits in them running in a semi-circular fashon. Is this normal. The all appear uniform in nature.

I'm getting ready to install extros on my driveshaft and was wondering if you guys run the outside introvert cogs along with the inner extros, or are you running just the Doo introvert/extrovert inner cogsets? Thanks, Jay

I'm considering nitrous for a summer project after I get done stretching the sled and had a question about the NX system by CB Perf. I called them and they said that it is recommended that you install ARP head bolts (supplied in kit) because the stockers just stretch too much. Are any of you...

I'm in the middle of installing the Hartman 136 kit on my Apex, and I just noticed that the rail extensions that came with the kit do not allow full length hyfax. So now I'm faced with running standard length or opting to get different rail extensions. Is there any advantage/disadvantage to...

Hey guys, I've got the Apex tore apart pretty well (skids out, chaincase removed, and am trying to remove the driveshaft in preparation to install a Predator along with other improvements, and can't figure out how the driveshaft slides out of the chassis. On the PTO side the inside PTO side...

06 bars, 07 sub-lead. 1-3 bars all day, nice and toasty. No problems,,,,,so far. Thanks Dan. Jay.

Last night I posted a question concerning removal of the aluminum frame that holds the battery and plastic box. The procedure I have been told, which I believe is accurate, includes the removal of a total of 6 bolts. 4 12mm, 2 10mm. I only can find 2 12mm. I for the life of me cannot see any...

I now have 477 miles on my 06 Apex GT ans 370 on my wifes 07ER. Here is what I have found. 1. Motor is downright intoxicating. I don't know how you could improve on this engine for trail riding. 2. Traction is indeed limited. I have 144 down the middle. Not anough. 3. 07 handlebar update...
