    BOP Electric Power Steering Kit.

    From the Barn of Parts website under "New Products in Development" it states: "Working on a kit that recycles Apex/Vector Power Steering components to install EPS into Sidewinders and Vipers." Has anyone here inquired on this or been able to get any information? Very interested in learning...

    Unidentified chatter from front left under load. Any ideas?

    On my 2014 RTX SE with about 6K miles, I'm hearing a light "chatter" noise starting at about 10 - 15 mph with RPM's in the 4K - 5K range. Anything beyond this the chatter gets drowned out by ambient noise. I notice only under acceleration (slight load on engine) and for a short while once I...

    Best suspension wheels? And where to buy?

    My 2014 RTX-SE's front inner wheels are shot! I'm studded and the outer circumference is worn badly and no longer round. I believe the steel stud backers are chewing these up. They still spin freely but I want to replace before they get worse. What are you guys finding to be the best wheel...

    Is 2007 RS Vector ER good choice for females first sled?

    Hello all, looking to set-up my fiancé with a sled to start riding. Is a 120 hp 3 cylinder sled too much power/ weight for a 5' 113 lb woman? Should I be looking only at a Phazer? Got my eye on a really nice shape Vector and just wanted some input from guys that have ever been in the same...

    Anyone want to trade spring promo LRG Viper jacket for XL?

    Got the free jacket as part of the spring promotion but it's a bit to big. I've not worn mine and it's in brand new condition. Anyone order the Large and wish they got the XL? Asked my dealer if I could exchange it but I'm not really getting a straight answer if Yamaha can make this happen...

    SnowPak Starter P/N 190745 from Kimpex for Phazer(all)

    Hi Guys, My technician suggests I replace my original starter, after 7200 miles and rebuild last year. It hung up (stuck brush) on him in the shop just last week and shows signs of having gotten hot, or at least it appears that way with the armature epoxy coating cracking and the wiring also...

    '07 Phazer FX starter questions / suggestions

    Hello All, Happy New Year! After 7200 miles on my stock and original starter, I may need a replacement. It was taken apart last year after one of the bolts came loose but everything inside looked good and I finished off the season. This year I believe a brush is sticking and will investigate...

    Introducing the new rMotion suspension from Ski-Doo

    What do you guys think about this new suspension that we will see in 2012 Ski-Doo's? I sure hope Yamaha introduces something "game changing" in 2012 (and I don't mean power steering). They are due for a serious suspension upgrade to compete with the Polaris Rush and now this in the MX Z X and...

    Stock FX White Windsheild? Anyone familiar with this?

    Hi Guys, I'm certain I saw a stock windshield on a FX Phazer that was white in color. I'm interested in locating. Does anyone know what year model came with this? My dealer wasn't sure. Any other windscreens (aftermarket) that you guys have used? I had a medium Yamaha windshield on, but...

    Aftermarket or rebuild service for starters?

    Anyone aware of options for rebuilding or purchasing overhauled exchange or even aftermarket starters? My '07 starter I believe may be on it's way out. I haven't totally diagnosed yet but Yamaha offers only new outright and they are outrageous in price at over $400.00 last time I checked. Any...

    BE HONEST>>>ANYONE HERE CONSIDERING NEW RUSH?

    WHEN I BOUGHT MY PHAZER I DID SO BECAUSE I LIKED THE IDEA OF INCREASED SUSPENSION (HAVING PREVIOUSLY RIDDEN A VIPER FOR 5 SEASONS) AND THE RIDER FORWARD POSITIONING WITH AGGRESSIVE AND LIGHTWEIGHT ERGONOMICS FOR ROUGH RIDING. I RACED MOTOCROSS FOR MANY YEARS AND WANTED A SLED THAT FELT SIMILAR...

    2007+ Post Billet Link Mod Kit Suspension Failure

    Hey Guys, Had my 2007 FX out Saturday and discovered a serious failure after very bad pogo stick handling, and returning home to clear all the ice buildup. My Pivot 1 Arm's left tube has sheared completely in half. My sled had the mod kit done at 1400 miles under warranty (had shocks rebuilt...

    What 14 x 121 track are you guys using? Stud problem?

    My 2007 FX Phazer has 4885 miles on stock track. I studded it after the first couple rides. Had to initially re-tighten most all of the studs as they loosened with time. I've since lost studs with them ripping completely out and leaving nothing but a square hole in the track where the backer...

    Hello Folks, With about 3K miles on my 07 Phazer (stock track) I've noticed about 3 studs with backers (Stud boy) completely missing from my track. Nothing now but a square hole in the exact shape of the backer now in my track. I notice several others that are also cutting into the track and...
