I've got the gen III and I think with the 10" gen 2 you might not even need a float plate. One thing I have noticed is while on the gas even if it's just bearly moving the skis stay on top of the snow, but because of the engine braking, once off the gas the front end gets pushed down and skis...

The only reason I really care is I don't want to short fill it because I can only bring 5 gallons of gas into Canada and can't get any gas once at the cabin so every gallon counts.

When I fill my take I can see the gas level get to the filler neck and I put more gas in and it doesn't change the level so I thought it might be going out of an over flow so I stopped. I didn't see any gas on the trailer so I don't think it was coming out a vent or anything. So the next time I...

It's interesting how some people just put the pipe out the back and have less icing and other the same or more icing. It just can't be both ways. I don't think anyone's lying it's got to be the temps people are riding in.

This is the tool to have if your going to be riding in cold temps where the ice buildup is no match for a rubber mallet hammer. It's for ice fishing and it's made by Eskimo, and it's call the Redneck Chisels or also called a bucket chisel. It almost like it's made for the ice buildup on a VL. It...

I don't have the Simmions in this picture but I'm going to try to get some pic outside. I also put arctic cat speed rack removable baskets that I'll get in the new pics.

So I think I've got about 150 miles on the sled now. I know that's not many but I've done a lot of short trips and puttering in my woods and 75 miles on an ice fishing trip on Lake of The Woods. I've got to say when I research buying a VL on the forum and web it really didn't look good. I like a...

Not sure if the pad is worth it or I possible have it too high. It's 42F in the garage right now and I checked the end of the dip stick and also shot it into the tank with my temp gun and it's only 68F. It's been plugged in for a few hours before testing it. This weekend I will take a look and...

I just wanted to add, I was told on here that the oil pump move a ton of oil fast on these sleds. That's the reason I thought it would be ok to install the heater pad on the tank rather then the motor it's self. Also I would have like to mount the pad on the very bottom of the tank but where I...

Last week before a ice fishing trip I bought a Yamaha coolant heater, part SMA-HEATR-CL-NT I didn't have time and wasn't sure on how to bleed the air out of the system and didn't want to burn my sled down on my trip so I decided to get a pad heater from Napa part 24025 ($20.00) and put it on the...

I got my relay today from Port and got it installed. Under the battery and behind the ECU it's the top row and first from the front of sled (seems different then the parts breakdown above) I've asked this before on the phazer forum and no one answered but how many more of those relays could be...

Just ordered the relay from Port Yamaha. fingers crossed I get it before I leave for my trip. Anyone know what relay it is to replace like second from the right or something? I suppose it might be self explanatory when I get down to seeing the relays or just disconnect them one by one until I...

From what I've read the new relay came out in the 2014 models. I'm going to get one, where can I get one fast? Need one by next Tuesday.

I think someone makes one that reduces the engine braking but can't rember who. I would think to change ingagment rpm he just needs to find a less poundage primary spring not a whole clutch kit.

Thanks. I ended up ordering yamaha part # sma-heatr-cl-nt anyone got any good info on the best location for it? Do I have to worry about bleeding the lines after the install? Like Mooseman said I do have the cold start update but still couldn't get it to go at -29F the other day. I do have...

Pan heater and warm the oil? I thought about that, but when my sled wouldn't start it was turning over nice and fast. I have battery tender on it, so stiff oil wasn't an issue. I want to heat the whole motor.

I'm looking at getting a inline hose heater but want to make sure I get the right one will the yamaha sma-heatr-cl-nt work on the phazer and VL? It says 1" id coolant line. Thanks

I'm so happy!!! Went to the garage and started the sled and no smoke came up like before. Did the glove over the exhaust and it killed the motor instantly! Still not sure what it was from before, but the sled ran great after and it's not the exhaust donuts so I'm not going to worry about until...

I did try that prime thing before starting it but I only did it twice. I'll have to try that trick on plugging the exhaust. Where can I get the copper donuts if needed? I thought there was a sticky on the exhaust but I can't seem to find it, maybe I saw it someplace else.
