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...
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...
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...
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...
You know you spend too much time on FaceBook when after reading a favorable post on this site you start looking for the "like" button.......LOL.....just sayin'
Hey folks.....looking to buy a lift to raise entire sled off ground (with wheels for mobility). What are you guys using and can you give me any tips on what to look for in one? Or the best vendors to use? Any TY sponsors selling that you can recommend? I appreciate and leads. Best regards...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
HI FOLKS! AS MENTIONED IN A PRIOR POST, I BROKE MY FRONT PIVOT ARM IN MY 07 FX. THIS HAD BEEN REPLACED ONCE BEFORE WHEN YAMAHA PAID FOR MY BROKEN LINK AND REPLACED IT WITH THE SOLID BILLET KIT. THIS KIT INCLUDED PIVOT ARM P/N 8GN-47331-02-00 WHICH WAS ALSO STOCK IN ALL 2009 MODELS. CURRENTLY...
Hello fellow Phazerites!......I'm looking to replace my stock 1" Hack-Saw track to the 1.5" Freeride. I'm running the stock 121" skid. I see several people using this and I wondered what you all thought. I want to stud as well with a 96 stud pattern. I'm running in the northeast so I have...
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...
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...
