Just came across The Motor Oil Geek Lake Speed Jr on YouTube. If you want to know anything about Oil, this is your guy. I have been using Mobil1 0W-40 European Car blend SP in my Nytro, Apex, Viper and SRX and by what I have learned from Lake's info, this is the stuff to use.

Had the SD-42 error code come up at the start of a 500 mile charity ride and had no way to put the speed sensor back in place and keep it there. Finished the charity ride and saw that the odometer advanced 2,700 miles instead of 500. Will a dealer correct this issue or am I screwed????

These skid mounted scratchers were on the sled when I bought it. Anyone know the brand they are? Lost the hanger on the other side and need to replace it but I have no idea what the brand is.

I got a smoking deal on a 2021 SRX with Hauck 240 HP tune and clutch kit. I upgraded it with metal blow off valve and a new Camso Ice Arrowhead 130 track. What pro's and con's should I expect from it? Any specific things to watch for? It has 3,250 miles on it.

New track, studs, drive shaft bearings, chain case oil, idler wheel bearings, carbides and cooper exhaust donuts (modified exhaust clamps for tighter clamping pressure) in the last 900 miles. Had Fabtec (local and trusted fabrication/welding shop) go through rear skid frame and reweld joints and...

Just purchased a 2021 SRX with the 11.5 gallon oversized fuel tank. The stock tunnel bag does not fit with the oversized tank. Does anyone know of a tunnel bag that works with these tanks? I searched T.Y. and did not come up with anything.

I just purchased an AGM battery for my Viper. From Caltric. , Hitachi is the manufacturer of their batteries and I want to try it as many of the Yuasa batteries I have put in my 4 stroke sleds have lasted only 2 years. AGM batteries are supposed to provide superior power and have a much higher...

Does the bottom of the Tri-hub wheels extend down past the face of the Hyfax or should they be tangent to the face of the Hyfax (when viewed from side of rear suspension)

I searched T.Y. for information related to riding around Lake Superior and see that there haven't been any posts about it since around 2007 that I can find. I am guessing things have changed since then. Anyone have any advice on this trip, links to check out, have-to-have's to complete the trip...

I have a '14 Viper and still use the tri-hub rear tensioning wheel assembly because I modified it to be able to service the bearings. I purchased two used tri-hub wheel assemblies at Hay Days last year to make a spare for myself and a buddy. I just noticed that one is a larger diameter than the...

I am surprised no one has asked yet but, I am wondering what the future of T.Y. might be with Yamaha announcing the end of their snowmobile line in 2025. Can you give us an idea of what the impacts to T.Y. will be due to the closing and what we as a T.Y. community might be able to do to help...

I put a Camso Ice Storm track on my Viper RTX 129" sled. I am finding that it howls a lot more than any unstudded or studded track I have ever had before at all speeds. In fact at 55-57 mph it is outright screaming. Anyone had this problem with one of the "Ice" -- prestudded tracks and if so...

On I94 headed East near Menomonie, WI yesterday, 16 sleds total. Way, way too late but at least some people are getting what they ordered.

I have a 2014 Viper RTX with 8,000 miles on it. As I was going through it to get it ready for its summer nap I noticed that both chassis rails that create the motor cradle and hold the heat exchanger in place are cracked on their bottom surface from side to side. These rails extend somewhat...

I know people have swapped the Apex 4cyl fuel injected motors into their Vipers and called them a Vipex but has anyone swapped an SRX or Sidewinder turbo motor into an Apex to make the sled lighter with more power?

Sunday into Monday Willie Ewing from Grand Rapids set the world record for the longest distance ridden by a single rider/sled in 24hrs at 2,104 miles. He did it on a 2022 AC Thundercat with a Yamaha four stroke turbo 998CC motor (basically the same sled as a 2022 SRX). See more on him and his...

I have a buddy with a 2019 SRX that has been having issues with it bogging and basically going into limp mode or just shutting off altogether. In several cases he has been able to re-fire it and ride and several other cases he had to drag it out to the trailer and put it in his shop to warm up...

For the 8th year in a row I will be participating in the Snowball Cancer Challenge Valentine 500. It is a 500 mile in one day snowmobile charity ride to raise money for the Keller Family Community Foundation (KFCF). This ride and its cause has become so popular, we are holding two rides this...

Anyone seen this yet? Wondering if it was just a B.S. post on Facebook or not. https://www.arcticcatyamahanationalclassaction.ca/

4 tanks of fuel ago the fuel level indicator started acting weird. One tank full it stayed on Full for that entire tank-full. After the next fill up it read 1/2 full and then went up to Full and back to 1/2. Next fill up it stayed at empty, bounced up to 3/8 then back down to empty. The last...
