I'm revisiting this to get it done now that we're in the off season. I see two different part numbers for steel 17.2mm rivets on the "alternate drive setting" parts list I found for my model and year. Do you know which ones would match the "Steel 17.2mm" for the ~800m setting in the chart? From...

This is tremendously helpful. Looks like the only difference is a setting on the secondary spring and adding rivets - sounds about as easy and low cost as I could have hoped for. Are the rivets commonly available from online parts stores or dealerships?

I have a 2016 SR Viper MTX 162 2.6", stock gearing and clutching at low elevation, currently just over 1000 miles (1850km) on it. I have noticed hitting the rev limiter at WOT since new. Tach bounces around a bit, but gets up to 9200rpm or so. It seems to have gotten worse as the engine broke...

Thanks guys. I ordered a new set of replacement bolts. I was surprised that the bolt broke before the hole stripped, but on the chance that it was designed that way on purpose (to keep me from stripping the holes in the Chaincase) I'd like to retain that "feature" rather than use stronger bolts...

I serviced the chain case in my 2016 Viper MTX today. First time I've done it myself. Just cleaned it out and inspected, all good until reassembly. It had a slow leak so I put the newer updated gasket in (not really related). Torquing the 11 bolts back down, I used a torque wrench set to the...

Where did you find those idler? I have a 162 MTX and I'd love to add a couple wheels there to help with slider wear.

I've been using my 2016 MTX 162 for utility type stuff lately and I'm burning through hyfaxs. They wear out right in the middle where there are no bogey wheels. Front and rear of the hyfax looks like new but near the rear shock is down to nothing, again. I'd like to add some wheels to help but I...

Thanks. At least I know I'm not the only one.

I've thought my steering was a little loose from the day I picked it up (bought used from a dealer, although only 100km on it). Life has kept it in the garage collecting dust so there's only 700km on it now, but my wife commented on the crap steering when she took it for a little loop around a...

I did some practical testing with my 162 Viper this month. Bag on the tunnel that weighs 20lbs, Yamaha's "light duty" tow hitch, and a couple hundred pounds in tow. No bending or breaking. I was just towing some gear down a bumpy trail into a camping spot then fetching firewood. I was pretty...

Nah... most people I know leave their sleds pretty much stock. Exhaust is a popular thing to change, and often people add some tunnel storage, but that's the extent of a typical owner around here. Very similar to trucks. Most Tacoma's on the road are stock. Maybe a stereo, a canopy, or a...

Someone posted about your reinforcement kit in another thread recently too. Will it be available for purchase any time soon?

How unfortunate. I have a Viper MTX that I really needed to put some storage on for the reasons already mentioned: a little fuel and basic backcountry safety supplies. I bought the machine because of the "legendary Yamaha reliability" that I expected to give me peace of mind in the backcountry...

I wont worry about it then. Thanks to both of you!

I recently picked up a nearly new '16 MTX 162" and have now put 300km on it. I was giving it a check over today (track tension etc) and noticed that the track slides do not cover the whole rail. They look a little too short to me. So the question is... does this look right to you guys? It's the...

I looked at the barn of parts website and couldn't find the tunnel reinforcement. Is it still under developement?

I just bought a new to me (and practically new with 109km on the odo) 2016 SRViper M-TX 162. I was shopping for one of the crossover models for the type of riding I plan on doing, but this one popped up and I couldn't resist! Now I'm looking at accessories to make it better suited to my needs...
