Any update? Facebook said September.

Is there an easy way to re-install the rear of the rear suspension into the tunnel mounts? ie. Line up the holes to install the mounting bolts. I searched and found how easy it is to remove but the thread did not cover this part.

I am looking for advice and information on upgrading the valves and springs on a RX-1. There doesn't seem to be much discussion on improving the reliability of the head. I have my engine out and apart and need to replace the head and want to strengthen the top to withstand the higher boost...

I'm just curious if anyone has had better results with different pilot jet sizes? What works best?

Can anybody tell if they addressed the crankcase venting issue on the Apex?

What are the tallest gears available for a reverse RX-1? Is it 25/38?

Does the oil pressure increase with rpm's? My turbo is fed off of an adapter at the oil filter. How much does the oil pressure increase at full throttle? The turbo oil return line is fed to the crankcase. If it is returning the oil at more pressure, is it contributing to the oil blowing out...

How are you terminating your breather hoses? K&N filter, into the turbo intake filter, into an oil separator or what and where? I am still seeing oil coming out of my K&N filter on the end of the hose. This is no acceptable and I need a solution. What is causing this crankcase pressure? I...

We tore the engine apart today and found: Nothing Wrong So what is up? No signs of blow by, rings were free piston walls clean and no marks. Cylinder walls perfect. Heads perfect. So where is the oil going? Remember a quart every 200 miles. Can that much oil be blown out the breather...

Here is a link to turbo calculators. I am looking at the one that calculates turbo engine compression and recommended octane for different boost levels. How do we figure the engines VE? I would like to know the different octanes depending on boost level...

Has anyone installed or know someone who has installed a Firecat skid in a RX-1? I know Kip did, does anybody have his email? I can get one and would like to know what is involved.

For sometime now I have been wondering why alot of you don't include your location in your profile. When you post your location will appear under your avatar. Personally, I enjoy knowing where everybody is from. I find it sort of gives everyone an identity, at least until we get to know you...

I am curious if anybody is running this or any non stock exhaust on a front mount turbo. Is the stock exhaust to restrictive? What about noise levels with the aftermarket? Just looking for more HP.

I have a friend who has 2 2004 RX-1's. He did a leak down test on the cylinders today. Here are the results: Stock RX-1 with over 4000 miles Is 6% on all 4 cylinders. Turbo RX-1 with 2700 miles: pto 20 %, #2 18 %, #3 14 %, Mag 29 %. This is not good news for turbo owners. There is a...

Has anybody noticed an increase in oil consumption since installing their turbo? I have. I also switched to Amsoil 0-40 at the same time, so I am not sure what the culprit is.

What secondary spring are you running and why? All the springs listed are OEM Yamaha Springs, except other. What was your reason for changing if you did and can you see any difference? If the Warrior is so fast stock, why are owners dropping 2 springs to the Silver? Is the Silver over rated...

I'm curious what belt people like for racing. The stock belt, while durable, is so hard and tends to lose it's bite quickly. What belt works best? I'm not really concerned if it lasts forever. Any thoughts? :?:

I heard yesterday that SkiDoo is releasing a 950 twin Rev. I thought I would pass this on. The source was pretty reliable. Personnally, I love my RX and could care less.

Any need for a prefilter on a Turbo? I'm thinking probably not. But I don't know that much about it. Anybody have any thoughts?
