I rode my 22 yesterday for the first time this year. Sled has 3K miles on it. After 25 miles or so pulled over and smelled gear oil. Looked down there and sure enough the speedo sensor is off, and gear oil everywhere. Got it home and there is a hole worn through the chaincase, and magnets...

I need help with a little problem. My 2018 Sidewinder will get stuck at 70 MPH no matter how much throttle I give it. It's quick up to seventy, then I give it more gas, even to the bar and its just stuck there. It will on occasion "free up", and I can feel it, and then will accelerate. Gas...

Why are you taking apart a brand new sled? She doesn't get that these things aren't gas and go. LOL. SO I put in a 4th wheel kit, hose protectors, rollover bypass kit, DMC top gear, welded tensioner roller, brass shift fork pads, driveshaft saver, upnorth tech bracket for gas, oil tank...

Can torsion springs wear out?

I am up in Quebec and my sled is cutting out with any kind of throttle. I am thinking fuel pump. A local dealer has a viper fuel pump, but no sidewinder pump. Will a viper pump work in a sidewinder to get me back to my truck?

Well I lost all the oil in the chaincase. Heard the chain going over the top gear, and new there was obviously something wrong. Opened the chaincase, and it looked like burnt toast. Not a drop of oil. I initially thought it was a chaincase seal but it was not. The bottom bolt on the cover...

Took my chaincase apart and found this. Upper gear Mcmaster bushing was a little loose after 4k miles so for that I'm happy.

Just need snow now, LOL. Oil and chaincase oil changed, check. Welded chain tensioner, check. Driveshaft saver, check. Upper cross shaft saver, check. JT racing solid rear axle kit, check. New brake pads, check. AMPS mount for garmin installed, check. Pilot 6.9's installed, check. Belly...

Sled is 2018 Sidewinder STX-DX. Bought it midseason last year when my Apex had a terminal event. 2,753 miles on it. Brought her home yesterday and tore into the chaincase today to chain the oil, and gear oil, as well as change out the tensioner to one that I had the screw welded. First off...

Has anyone installed a hose saver kit for under the tunnel from barn of parts? My buddy has a new winder, and we are looking to put it in. In Quebec last year another friend had a whole in his hose, and ruined a full day. Any install tips is greatly appreciated.

My 2011 has 28k miles on it. When I start it cold, the engine sounds like a bag of marbles. I am thinking of adding seafoam to the oil, and then run it for 20 minutes or so, and change the oil. Anyone ever try it in their Apex?

Well, over the summer I somehow shorted out my gauge cluster. My sled at the time had 23,848 miles. I replaced the cluster and now my mileage reads 3,690 miles for this season. Is there someone I can send my cluster to over the summer, and have the correct mileage put on the new cluster. I'm...

So I found my POD was bad per a previous post, and changed it. The lights that were on are now off, but still have the EPS light on. Can't really tell if the power steering is working or not. Any ideas?

so I have my sled stripped down. I changed the oil and the spark plugs. Now I restart the sled and the oil warning light is on. I know there's oil in it. There's no low oil pressure signal. Any ideas why the oil light would be on?

Just got a new Yuasa 20 series battery and noticed the terminals are backwards compared to previous batteries. The + terminal is on the right when looking at the battery. Can i install it backwards, or do they make cable extensions? Thanks.

So i left the key in the on position and didn't know it. I went out to start the sled and of course it was dead. I used a power pack to start it and no problem. So i throw the battery tender jr on it and let it charge. It has been a week now and the light is still not green. 4 days ago i...

I am loyal to Yamaha. Have 2 2011 Apex's. I love them, the problem is as i'm getting older, last year on my Apex my knees and hips would ache on long days, and i believe it may be due to sitting so low and my knees are above my hips. Therefore looking into a Viper. Will this help my...

I went in a 1700 mile trip to the Gaspe and at the end of the trip I felt some grinding and shaking under the sled. I thought maybe I was just grinding ice under the tunnel and it eventually went away. Got it home and looks like the right side of the track is all tore, the lugs are all gone...

So i went to change the primary spring and went to put the cover back on and snapped the bolt in the spider. I thought the torque was 10 foot lbs but not sure. Can you tell me what size bolt it is and the correct foot lbs. Thanks.

I changed the steering bushings on my 2011 apex. It did not help with the slop at all. I used OEM bushings. The sled has 20,100 miles on it. Any ideas other than the sled is old, LOL.
