My riding bud put a 1” on his RTX a few years ago, along with the TD multi dash tunes. If we run same hp, and do a run on a fast hard packed trail, my 130 speedo to his 137 speedo! So yes I do agree with mph gains going to a 1” from a 1.25” lug rip II. The used Rip II R track that I went to...

Nice to hear that they are also a quiet track, whereas I have had some very noisy howling tracks in the past and wasn’t a fan. And I like how tough the Rip II is, and also like it’s tapered outside lug edges for a bit of corner slide!

Huh, glad to hear that because I made a plan to pick up this track tomorrow, so next season I will try out this track! Thanks for your input!

How loud is this track without the quiet nubs, compared to the Rip II quiet tracks?? I remember having an Ice Attack XT prior to putting another RipII 1.25” on my LTX-LE and that track made a very loud howling noise, especially at higher speeds, and the Rip II quiet tracks are just that, quiet!

Glad to hear that it’s a 2 ply! I thought any Camso Rip II were 2 ply, but hard telling by looking at the pic, and the Camso site isn’t much help with that R track! Thanks!!

Looking at a used track which came off a 2023 VR Boost, and by looking at the pics, this style rip II is fully clipped, but doesn’t come with the quiet nubs! Anyone try one of these, and is it a 2 ply track?

Yes we could certainly use that on our 2012! As you said they are jumpy, with lots of low end torque! So much so that both, our 2012 Vector and friends 2011 Nytro, seem like they could run with my 2017 Sidewinder, which is deceptively smooth, and so much quicker once you do a side by side turn...

Wow, nice to know!!

Sport mode, what year did they start doing that? I know that the Doo 990 ACE was doing that years ago, but didn't realize Yamaha had also?

Agree, I do! Thought it was the correct usage! Remember when ATF was the choice for a while, way back when Cat chaincase oil turned into a frozen grease glob! Yeah I’m old. I now use the same oil that I use for my VP stern drive boat, and that’s 75-90 full syn with GL5 rating and no LS...

Most of my research for Yamaha sleds comes from this site! So many well informed sled heads who spread their knowledge for free! I ended up buying my wife a 2012 Vector with a bit over 2000 miles on it! I did take the suspension out of it so I could have all shocks rebuilt, and have done...

Yes without a turbo!

2016 sounds like a year to stay away from in this motor. I also remember thinking of buying a Viper for my wife, and my research showed to stay away from the 2016 in that model also! Bought a 2012 Vector in almost new shape instead. With the 2016 Viper, many were putting turbos on them...

Sounds like you’ve got your wife’s sled running well! Just amazed at that speed! Yep, I took your advice a few years back about that SQ 2.5” and love how that muffler sounds, and runs so cool on mine,when compared to the stock muffler! I have a few friends that have always had a wife’s sled...

I had a few fall out when I did my oil changes per the book, on my bought new 2017! First oil change was at 500 miles and the second oil change was at 1100 - 1200 miles! Back then I was using oils that my Yamaha dealer recommended! So what I found on my second oil change was a few of those...

OK, I see what you mean by “On Startup”! The OP LO doesn’t show itself when key is turned on, unlike the 3 messages I had when it went over the 2500 oil change interval warning! So now no OP LO when I first turn on the key, but when I turn engine over to start it, the OP LO shows during turn...

Actually a nice feature once you learn about it! I just happened to learn about it the hard way, but all is good and that’s a good thing!!

OK, as of right now since I reset, no messages show when I turn the key on! Tried it many times while it was in my garage! After checking over the sleds in my heated garage from our last trip to the County, I have now put them back in my trailer! Next time in there, I shall turn the key switch...

Both codes were firsts for me and my wife's 2012 Vector, which both my daughter and I also used it for day rides this year, and nothing came up until "The Machine" thought it had been 2500 miles(Wife was driving it) since an oil change. And at that point, OP LO, mileage since oil change 2500 =...

Weird that I was getting both, OP LO and the 02578 messages, but once I found how to clear the messages by hitting the reset button, they are now gone!
