    TY Rides & Pics 2026

    The rivers were frozen, endless trails were groomed, and the Yamaha tunes played all day long, it doesn't get any better than that! Thanks for the great ride steiner!

    Manitoba TY Ride

    Hi steiner, Lucky I just spotted this. In previous years you always posted updates in the TY Rides/Other Events category. Not complaining, in fact very happy to hear it's in the works, just worried some people may miss it if updates are just posted in Yamaha General Discussion. Great news, count...

    Coolant Temp gauge kit needed

    Ulmer used to sell the digital temperature guages also. I have pictures and instructions from that era for a 3 cyl. FX Nytro(2009), would that still apply to your 16 Vector?

    2006 Apex GT Help Separating The Exhaust pipes from Silencer Assembly

    Not sure exactly what you are planning on replacing, but if you want to separate #21 from #13 and #14, Here is my notes from having done a donuts and Y pipes change at 5200 miles. 26. The two Allen head bolts(#15) that hold the headers in place(under the rubber grommets) came loose with a #5...

    Ramp for dollies

    Looks like a great idea! As time goes by, working smarter instead of harder makes a lot more sense.

    Nytro Skid Plate

    It did come with a stock skidplate and the mounting instructions for the plastic skidplate specify, to re-install the stock skidplate and fasten the new skidplate over it. So I suspect it should be there.

    Bleeding Coolant 2007 Apex GT

    Bleed if you want, and adding scratchers can only help on certain days, but don't be too concerned if your overflow tank is constantly just a little bit in the bottom. I have scratchers, a 136 rear heat exchanger, and temperature guage, and never see it overheating, and even though I have tried...

    2009 apex shuts off

    Any pattern to this, for instance, always when you pull up to a stop sign, or always at 60 km. an hour? About 5 years ago, my 07 started dying at stop signs, on one mild day, then it never ever did it again.

    08 Apex Long Cranking to Start when Cold

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but if that was a cold startup and you are shutting it off a few seconds after it starts running, you might be due for some new spark plugs soon.

    Which brand battery for my Apex?

    I've had batteries from a reputable manufacturer that last 10 years and more recently 2 years. So I suspect you can get a lemon no matter who you buy from. But I would stick to the more popular brands like YUASA and INTERSTATE. I've had both and they both make a YTX-20H-BS AGM that have...

    Apex xtx secondary reassembly

    If you are talking about the two washers in the second picture are the ones in question, on my 07, the thin washer goes against the back of the secondary, and the fatter washer goes with the dent towards the bearing. So, secondary, thin washer, thick washer, clip, bearing.

    Secondary Removal

    Set emergency brake. Grab secondary tight with one hand, undo bolt with the other hand. I push a paint mixer stir tool up the middle and slide everything on, there are usually thin washers on both sides of secondary that you have to keep in order. That bolt is 46 ft lbs.. Clean things up, a...

    Bolt Type for Mounting Stock Ski's 2006 Apex

    Actually, metric bolts with the last 25mm threaded are fairly common, but you may have to order them depending what you have available in Fastener stores,... or Ebay. In a pinch, I might reluctantly use a heavily greased all threaded but I would change it out as soon as possible. My first choice...
