    You think an in-line gas filter would be a good idea?

    I did it on my wifes RX1, that sled ran great for 2 years and I didn't even clean the carbs after the summer (I did put in fuel stabilizer before storage). I recently did have a problem with it because one of the fuel filters had developed a hole . I put mine right next to the steering post on...

    HELP RX1 cold start issues

    When you clean the carbs you need to verify that you can see through the pilot jets. I've had tons of trouble with this myself, and I have a Sonic Cleaner big enough to put the entire carb rack in. I've taken to just buying a spare set of pilot jets. When I clean the carbs I install the spares...

    RX-1 Carb tuning help after removing bender turbo

    Hello all, I bought an 03 RX-1 with a bender turbo and have since removed the turbo. Ever since I've been struggling to get the sled to run smoothly without the help of choke. I re-jetted and cleaned the carbs to 165 to run a basic 60MM carb filter. The sled still has the electronic fuel pump...

    RX-1 with bender turbo kit (removal), Re-Gearing

    Hello all, I bought an RX-1 drag sled, with the old school bender turbo pre-installed. I am removing the turbo and would like to change the gearing down to turn a 2" paddle track a little easier. I looked at swapping the top gear when I had the chain case cover off but found that the gear...

    Low power condition and how I fixed it.

    Thanks for the likes and comments. I hope to find some time to get some pictures of this, I actually left this mod in when I went up to old forge this weekend and it didn't let me down! I did however take an extra fuel pump with me just in case it did. Edit: I should have mentioned, I put 240...

    From 121x15x1.3 to 137x16x1.6?

    So, I'm in Virginia and got a chance to ride around in all the sweet sweet powder that we had recently. But I had some problems, I could get around in the deep stuff but I ended up smoking a belt doing so. I like my trail sled but I want to give it some flotation so I can actually stay in the...

    While we're on the subject of Temp, may I ask. Has anyone here added a temp gauge? Either exhaust or coolant?

    03 RX-1 mountain

    I've heard its common to add a front radiator like here http://www.ty4stroke.com/threads/how-to-add-a-front-radiator-to-your-rx-1.64128/ Or you could try a rear heat exchanger and ice scratchers.

    Crank no spark

    Did you go through the "NO SPARK OR WEAK SPARK." troubleshooting section in the SM? First step is fuses.

    Low power condition and how I fixed it.

    Hello all, Recently I had a problem with my 2003 RX-1 with low power, and not sounding right. The sled would run but would die if I didn't keep on the gas. I went through a lot of troubleshooting to fix it so I figured I'd post the story here in hopes it can help some other unlucky SOB. It...

    ohlins shocks, worth it?

    I bought an '03 RX-1 second hand, it has an M-20 and I'm thinking of replacing the front shocks. It has what I think are GYTR front shocks (sticker is gone). The front end doesn't dart and the sled really sticks to the trail now, but I only have about 200 miles on it so far. I'm an average to...

    ZX2 in Phazer?

    I look forward to hearing about how the Ohlins work out, I'm interested in them myself but really holding off because of the cost. Supposedly they are really difficult to dial in because of the wide variety of options. I also thought that the ZX2 might use a shock upgrade but haven heard of...
