I had my 07 Phazer running about 3 months ago. No problems other than the battery was pooched so I fixed that. Now I got to start it and although it turns over it will not start. I get a code 81 on the dash but then I also get the flashing yellow hazard light followed by a flashing oil...

I had my Phazer all torn apart last year as my jackshaft bearing decided to let go whilst flying down a lake. Now that's all been fixed up and the sled back together. Hoping to beat last years record short season of 27 days only to discover my Phazer has a super low idle. The weird part...

Since I already have my sled apart fixing other things, I decided to take out and inspect my rear skid. I discovered that one of the bolts that hold the bellcrank shaft which connects the center shock to the pivot link had come loose and egged out the hole. So there in lies the problem of...

This is now the second time this has happened to me (first time 09) where my 07 GT servo motor failed. I have had all the common Phazer issues, Not shifting into reverse, rocking the sled, pushing the reverse button with nothing happening. etc. It would appear that it would be a design flaw...

Hey everybody, Just wondering what sway bar settings to use. I have not tinkered with this much and prefer not to modify the settings of my front dampers. Ie: cranking up the springs. I've read that some people remove the sway bar altogether and while this would seem like a good idea if I...

I went out for a ride on the lake yesterday. About 18" of snow on top of the ice with a lot of slush mixed in due in part from our mild start followed by a good dumping. I have my sled set up now so that most of the weight sits on the rear for traction. I only have the stock Hacksaw track...

Is there something in the works with Yamaha or does the Aftermarket have a torque arm kit to stop engine flexing under load. I see skidoo has something and Cat has their torque link. I have never blown a belt and I think these sleds employ this part to eliminate that issue. I just like the...

In my last post, I had found somebody to Tig weld the hole in the front heat exchanger. Turns out he keeps chasing pin holes from residual coolant in the rad. My buddy's got a steamer but we gotta get rad out first. Case in point, I bought a used heat exchanger of ebay for a steal of $72 sure...

I found a crack in the lower bolt hole on my heat exchanger. Not sure if it is fixable probably not. How can you remove this? Can it be done without removing the engine?

I read somewhere that you can add Zerk fitting to the ball joints of phazers. I can see doing so with the lower joints once the ball joint is out. What about the uppers? These joints are super expensive and from what I gather, don't last all that long so if doing Zerks get's a bit more life...

So I got the front frame off to rebuild my front suspension. Since it's off I figured I'd do the starter fix a preventative measure. It has not failed yet and the sled only has 3800km's on it but I don't want to be somewhere far away when it decides to crap out. My question is, I see that...

Has anyone tried installing Schmidt Bros adjustable fuel pressure regulator. I'm looking at that for 2015. Just wondering if you noticed a huge difference after installing it. Difference is power and fuel efficiency? I already got their exhaust and airbox pods, figured I'd top it off with that.

I'm in the process of rebuilding the front end of my Phazer. Changing out the ball joints, bushings, and outer steering joints. How are you suppose to get the lower Ball joint out of the A-arm? I already removed the Circlip, but the thing is rusted in there. There doesn't seem to be any...

I've read a lot about ski spindle bushings. I am assuming we are talking about the ones that are pressed into the bottom of the spindle? Problem is I can't inspect them because the collar that the ski bolt goes through and the spacers that go on this collar to fit my Slydog skiis are rusted...

Ok, so I know when a vehicle gets a recall, the manufacturer performs this at no cost to the owner. What about service bulletins? the dealer I bought my sled from (2007 phazer gt) went out of business a few years ago, now the local arctic cat dealer has picked up the Yamaha contract...

Just wondering which of these is better since they cost about the same. UP Bushmans is bronze which makes more sense to me then steel. Schmidt bros, is silvery coloured so I am assuming they chose stainless or some other alloy. Both kits have the plastic washers and shims but only UP's has...

Since I have not had to change my ball joints or u-joints since I bought my Phazer in 2007. I think its time to do them. There is a lot of slop in the spindle right now. Can someone re-attach the instructions with pics as to how to remove the front subsection of frame, basically just the nose...

I just read about this now and frankly, it erked me a tad. I personally, have waited for a while now for Yamaha to put out a new model. Each year it's a few tweaks here, a couple snazy addon's there but no new sled. What we get is basically an Artic-Cat in blue with Yamaha insignias. Looks to...

I went out for my first ride yesterday that wasn't on a lake, the trails are rough as usual-we do need some more snow. I noticed that my rear suspension works a whole lot better now that both shocks have been rebuilt and revalved for my weight and riding style. My limiter strap is set to hole...

Hoping to ride on more then just a lake tomorrow!
