    BOP Electric Power Steering Kit.

    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...

    Unidentified chatter from front left under load. Any ideas?

    Hello Fran, I never did resolve this issue and only rode a couple hundred miles since Feb of '22. Zero miles logged unfortunately in '24. Is this something you'd be interested in addressing for me? I'd like everything you mentioned to be checked and made right. Please let me know! Thank you...

    Unidentified chatter from front left under load. Any ideas?

    Thanks guys, I will check belt and keep you posted. The annoying thing is that this just recently developed and was never an issue in the past. Something has changed to create this sound and I'd like to get to the bottom of it.

    Unidentified chatter from front left under load. Any ideas?

    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...

    Best suspension wheels? And where to buy?

    JT was out of stock, as were some eBay sellers. Barn of Parts had them and I had in a couple days. Spent a few bucks more and got the heavy duty (thicker rubber) ones.

    Best suspension wheels? And where to buy?

    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...

    What happened to our season?

    The most dismal winter I can recall and I've ridden every year since 1999.

    Is 2007 RS Vector ER good choice for females first sled?

    Thanks for the input guys! I will seriously consider the Vector in my pursuit. Not really considering anything but a Yamaha.

    I owned and rode a Phazer for 7 seasons and loved every mile of it!

    Is 2007 RS Vector ER good choice for females first sled?

    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...

    Carbide brand help

    I ran stock 4" last season and got 1200 miles out of them. Coming off a Phazer w/ C&A Pro ADX's for 7 years I felt the stock set-up was adequate. Had no darting issues and gripped quite well....obviously this diminished as the season progressed but again I got 1200 miles on them. After buying...

    Best sled lift stand hoist? Any recommendations?

    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...

    Anyone want to trade spring promo LRG Viper jacket for XL?

    I'm not interested in selling my jacket.....they are really quite nice. I too bought my sled from Excell but it's been over a month since I asked about trading and they have not given me a clear answer. You'd think after spending 12K plus, a jacket exchange would be simple but apparently this...

    Anyone want to trade spring promo LRG Viper jacket for XL?

    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...
