My 2008 Apex 40th anniversary has been great but with almost 19K miles I'm looking to make a change. I'm probably going to buy a 2014 Vector with only 400 miles! The guys wife is in her 60's and only rode it 3 times in Old Forge. The trails there are butter smooth so I'm sure the sled is just...

Looking to plan a ride out of Marathon for February. If conditions aren't good here we'll hold it in western NY near Honk. I'm thinking President's weekend, probably do 2/18-2/21. Everyone check their calendars and let's see what dates work for the masses. I'm know I'll have to work either the...

Planning on holding ride out of Marathon Feb. 24-27 or 25-28 if that works better for most. If no snow down here alternate starting point each day will be the bowling alley in Mapledale(north of Utica). Let's see what the concensus wants to do and all pray for some big snows in the next month.

Arrived in Old Forge for the 8:30 am departure from Yamaha trailer, temperature was 0. Besides me there were two other guys, one guy never showed up(his loss). We were greeted by Scott and Kirk from the Yamaha factory. All of us were on the new sleds and Kirk was on a 2010 Apex LTX we would swap...

Best riding conditions we've had in years around Marathon area. Looking to set some dates. Do we want to do a Wednesday-Saturday or Thursday-Sunday? What would be better for the majority, weekend of 2/21 or 2/28?

Anyone interested in riding out of Marathon for two or three days? I'm off Fri-Sun usually. If we get the snow storm that is predicted I will be riding the weekend before Christmas for sure. Very easy to do 150 miles each day from here and not hit much of the same trails twice.

Put the silverstar lamps in Saturday and went to check the high beam. The gray button is gone! Sure it was on there after last ride before dropping off at dealer. Didn't notice it gone when I picked it up. Dealer says you can't but the button, have to pay $89 for whole switch #$%&* Anyone got a...

Anyone interested in coming to the southern tier of NY for some riding? Looks like it is going to be a good winter. I was thinking the second or third week of January. Or would you rather do later in Feb after the tug hill ride?? I have attached a map of most of the trails just in Cortland...

The five of us that made the ride 12/10 had a GREAT time. Put on just over 100 miles, had lunch at Montague. Trails were outstanding for this time of year. I've never been out this soon and was really happy. Only a few small water holes which were easy to get around and this one wet spot on camp...

Need a aftermarket suspension wheel assembly for my '05 RX-1. Yamaha number is 8ES-47310-00-00, all six have shot bearings according to my dealer who is finally getting ready to put in my repaired skid. He says they are $30 EACH, bearing non replaceable!! Anyone else out there go down this road...

Put this setup on my '05. No oil mess or oil useage. No need to drain any moisture as it stays in the factory catch can. I've got almost 1,300 miles, the last 600 with this mod and no issues so I'm convinced it works well. Rode several days at -15 to -20F. Just take the hose out of the original...

Went riding today with a former F7 rider now on a Vector. He had to stop at his buddy Jeff's house. Now Jeff is Arctic Cat all the way, current F7 owner and past snocross racer. As we are getting ready to leave Jeff asks me if he can ride the RX-1. I say sure as I want to see what smart #*$&@...

You heavy guys complaining about bottoming with the new skid check this out. At the adjustment end of the monoshock are three grooves around the shock body. You will probably find the circlip in the middle one. Moving the clip to the groove towards the spring will increase the initial preload...

I've always used Marvel Mystery oil in my touring motorcycle every third tank or so. I am considering putting it in my four stroke sled. Anyone use this or a similar product in the gas tank?

I've been reading this sight with great interest. Never posted before but I guess now it is time. Last season I logged 3,200 miles on my sled and was consistently at 14-15 mpg. Best ride I ever had and my buddies were envious of how little fuel I took(especially the Cat guy). :cry: This summer...
