I believe there are index marks (X) on the inside of the cover and the spider of the clutch. Progress... I pulled the clutch cover and spring and gave the insides a good look and cleaned what I could. Arms and rollers look good. However there appears to be some hesitation in the movement...

I did check the drive bearing and greased the pto sides. All seems to spin fine with not ratchet or play. Conditions are not a factor. Has been going on for a period of time. Figured it was a baked belt. Was suprised when the belt swap and clutch clean up did not solve the problem. Can I...

Yes the belt is within spec. The secondary wasn't closing 100% on the stand some of the time. With the clutch closed it sits proud of the clutch and is new so it is squaling at idle as I have not removed the three shims. The groove on the primary was low in the clutch from idle and...

Belt only has about 20 miles on it and has no hour glassing or obvious wear. I ran some 400 grit paper over it to ensure there was no glasing and wiped with alcohol. There was no difference at all with the belt swap. I may still try a brand new one or swap the one from my rage that is...

Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated. Sled is an 06 Vector GT with close to 7000miles. All on same belt and plugs. Has had regular service and greasing etc. Sled has been flawless with only two idlers failing. Current symptoms is a chug, chug, chug sensation when taking...

Carbides I am running a 136" ripsaw with 108 megabites up the middle. Just got back from a quick 60 miles (over 20 inches of powder on the ridge tops, had no idea until we got up there) after making some suspension adjustments and pulling up my limiter straps a bit, I am loving the way my...

After reading reports from Betheviper and others I splurged for a set of Arrow skis in a hope to lighten up the steering effort of my rage without losing the ability to turn when I want to. The rage comes with extra deeps keels on the skis and are a bit twitchy with the singles and tend to...

I have a rage and put on the Rox 3.5inch riser. Sturdy with no slipping. I replaced the throttle cable to avoid a dangerous situation as stated above or issues with the tors system. Whole cable from a mountain vector was the same price as the extension. I did reroute my brake cable to give...

Are you a ditch banger? The nytro is more rough trail aggressive with air shocks and stiffer springs. However it does have a higher seat and bars if you are into a more rider foward position. I would have a good look at a nytro before I purchased to check for damage/condition as it is more...

It might be cheaper to buy an entire take off seat from someone that did an apex seat mod than to get a cover. Shoot me a pm if you need a black silver seat. Has only 400 miles on it. Could just ship the cover. I believe there were some small changes in the early rx seats Berlin

Dartless does work and is cheap. Shimming will help some. Duel runners will reduce darting but some complain about the push in corners if you ride moderately hard. We run dartless on 6 or 8 inch single carbides and have no darting and no push. The cheapest solution that will fix darting 100%...

Update. Went for a ride last night and sled is running 100%. I am guessing it was a glazed over clutch. I can also feel better that at least two of the main bearing on the drive and jackshaft have fresh grease. Thanks for the advice Jamie

So here is where I stand. I have... 1. Loosened track and checked each wheel bearing 2; Removed secondary and belt 3. Pulled seal covers left jackshaft and added grease (bearing good) 4. Removed left driveshaft seal and found some ice in the bearing so I pulled the bearing and got out all...

I was able to do some fishing and reused the wiring from my sled. The apex wires were shorter/wrong connectors and not located in the truck to utilize the block off for the rx/rs style tail light. I cut one side of the original wire and fished it through the seat and followed the small channel...

That was my first thought and I swapped belts mid ride last night and it was still there. The current belt seems 100%. I think I will try a brand new one just for kicks. I am not totally sure that the one I stuck on there was new as it was the spare on the sled when I purchased it. I does...

The brakes seem to be free and clear of the rotor. I am going to have to stop using the parking brake in the trailer as I unloaded it the night I stuck to my hyfax with the parking brake on. Kind of embarrassing to admit... That was before I swapped belts. Right now my order of operations...

I was thinking of hitting them some cleaner and an abrasive pad. Can only help. Thanks for the tip. Jamie

Rock, I have much of your wisdom on this site. I am honored. Any advice on how to figure out which of the four bearings would be bad without obvious slop as they are all linked though the chain case? I will check the rear wheel skid bearings first. Will I have to pull the skid to get enough...

I would greatly appreciate any advice or thoughts on this issue. Sled is an 05 with less than 500 miles. Sled was working perfect last week. Had one ride in some real hard conditions and melted my clips to the hyfax. Took a bit of effort to free them after a stop. I have since replaced the...
