2011 apex xtx with 25000 mi (40000 km).
battery shorted last season on ty ride. replaced battery in off season as sled was not being ridden. made it till sat pm before battery was too dead to start sled again. boosted it and got it home. got a voltage to injector code as i was parking it in...
hey roc.
had an issue the other night driving home with one of the led bulb kits you sold me back in the day on my wr250x. is it a sign the ballast is going that when i switch it to high beam, the entire light goes out? not fun when coming home from work at 1 am on the bike with no light...
on my second set of rods and i just rebushed them. had to add some epoxy to fill in around the on bushing in one spot. already have the 2018 shock in there. waiting until the fall before i order the bop stainless ones for next round. they seem to only wear out on the pivoting end on the...
2016 apex xtx
was checking my wheels during pre season on 2016 apex xtx and found #21 loose on the shaft and both wheel mounts loose. i know they where tight during last year preseason. what i found was that they started moving on #19 shaft and as the shaft is aluminum, they ate the shaft...
sled is 07 rs vector. this was my 2nd attempt at fixing the cold idle issue. sled will not idle on cold start up but idles fine once it is warmed all the way up. stalls out unless on the throttle once it comes off higher idle and choke does not help keep it running at all.
as it came to...
well with 36000 km on the 11 apex xtx, the old girl needs the spindle bushings done. noticed the steering arm starting to wear on the housing on the top side. decided to add a shim washer on the bottom to hold it down a bit further. using a 1.25" id s cam washer for a transport.
did not use...
apparently yamaha is no longer carrying/making the dupont slides for the delta box chassis sleds. was in at my local dealer today looking for 2 sets to fit apex mtx/xtx and all they are listing now are the slides for the sr chassis sleds.
just bought 3 sets on e bay and the guy only had 5...

in my bi annual cleaning of the oil tank screen, i noticed the hose on my 11 apex with 22000 mi was hard and starting to split at the tank end. the end at the oil pump is still soft and supple. something else to check on the higher milage ones guys.
i almost forgot to order my permits for this season. this is the last week for under $200 permits per unit. as i buy a few, helps me save enough for my new sled gear/parts.
on order now. now to finish the sleds on my list.
well not too happy with a parts guy. gave me a rear diff kit instead of axle bearings for my big bear. i think it made long enough as it still had oe bearings and the inner races fell out when i pulled the axle. get to go cuss them out tomorrow and hopefully they have the right stuff.
Doing the pre season on my 16 xtx and I found almost all the small idler wheels were loosing the rubber. No studs in track and slides are still good. Bought the sled as a nos in dec 2019. Weird part is the inners where worse than the 2 outer. Good thing I pulled them to repack the bearings this...
as i am a good freind, i am going to be rebuilding a buddies 2011 vk540 that has 120 psi pto and 20 psi mag. sled has less than 3000 km (1500 mi). the tunnel manufacturing date is 04/2010 so the ownership says it is 2011. what i need to know is if this thing has niccacil cyl's on it. as it...
