    Handlebar riser

    I love the idea of going with a site sponsor. However (at least on my 07) the ROX height adjustable 6-8.25 in adjustable riser with the quick adjust levers was the best option (in my opinion). At the 6 in setting it's the same height as stock (on 07, not sure about the Deltabox 3 sleds). At the...

    2009 Apex RTX Does not Steer in Deep Snow

    Hmmm. I'm not sure what to tell you. I could give you some tips on adjusting the suspension further as far as bump performance and ski pressure go on trails but I'm at a loss as far as the powder steering issue goes. I'm guessing in your case a different ski may be the answer. If you adjust the...

    2009 Apex RTX Does not Steer in Deep Snow

    Here is the skid: 1) Back the collar off of the spring on the far left so that the spring barely has pressure on the collar when the rear end is elevated. 2) Set the sled back on the ground. See the straps on the far left of the photo? Remove the bolts that hold them on and re bolt them...

    2007 rtx or 2013 apex NON Se

    My guess is you'll be able to figure out whether or not you think you need studs. I'd say it's pretty subjective. I do most of my riding in Vermont and studs are really nice for steep, icy hills, especially when trying to stop. With Canadian hardpack you might be able to get away without them...

    2009 Apex RTX Does not Steer in Deep Snow

    The first thing that you'll want to do unless you are a super agressive jumper (in which case the rear end would probably be bottoming a lot), is you'll want to mess around with the front shocks. Most guys, including myself find that if you adjusting the floats to a pressure that allows the...

    2007 rtx or 2013 apex NON Se

    Thanks and congrats on your purchase! I'm sure you'll love it. The 128 track length will be a large advantage over the 07's 121. Feel free to post any questions about mods, suspension adjustments, etc on here. Everyone is highly helpful and knowledgeable.

    2007 rtx or 2013 apex NON Se

    I love my 07 RTX and would not trade it for any new sled. That being said, the stock rear skid valving was far fram yamaha's best effort. If you plan on riding any moguls hard I'd factor the cost of a re-valve or a new rear skid into the purchase price. Styling wise, though youthful, I...

    Bulkhead Reinforcement?

    It so happens that I had a helmet cam on that night. I believe I captured the waterbar that did the bulkhead in. I definitely hit it harder than I intended to but I didn't once think it would be hard enough to do damage. The handling never changed but at the end of this trail it appeared as if...

    Bulkhead Reinforcement?

    Thanks guys! I really appreciate it. The bolt on kit is a huge relief. The thought of replacing the bulkhead or stripping it down for welding was eating me up.

    Bulkhead Reinforcement?

    Hi, On my first (and now last) ride of the season (I'm only home for one week in the winter due to college), my Apex's bulkhead became a victim of my agressive riding style. After fumbling around on Google a bit I happened upon a video of one "Barn of Parts Bulkhead Reinforcement Kit". Does...

    1.75" tracks on the trail

    the xc pro he is talking about has beveled edges to reduce side bite and make it easier to corner.

    Make me hook up

    what about a 136x16in track...some posts say they will fit with careful alignment. You would get a larger footprint than a 15x144 but it would effect suspension geometry, rail strain, and ability to wheelie less. There is also the distinct possibility that it may handle more flat on trail (just...

    The Italian Sled.... And they said yamaha's are heavy...

    While it does weigh twice the weight of the average sled, the total track footprint is ~344% of a 121 sled. This means that the (in of track footprint)/lb should be ~171% of the average 121 machine. This translates to 1.26 times the inch of footprint/lb of a 15x162in machine. Given the short lug...

    As of last week VT was very ridable as long as you went to higher elevations.

    The Italian Sled.... And they said yamaha's are heavy...

    Seems like it would be fantastic for its purpose. For trail riding...not so much. Unless of course you are one of the ppl that always complains about stability :dunno:

    Plenty of ridable snow in high elevations of VT

    Sorry, that wasn't my intent. I was just hoping to inform those who normally ride in VT that they shouldn't pack it in just yet.

    How to get an Apex under 500 lbs ?

    There is a company making carbon fibre rev-XP chassis that can fit an apex motor. Just imagine this sled with an apex motor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_5ZFHwkF7Q

    Plenty of ridable snow in high elevations of VT

    I was riding in the Calvin Coolidge State State forest two days ago. I was amazed by how good the conditions were. I put on 60 miles in half of a day without exhausting the ridable trails. The trails were groomed flat and the traffic was low. There was 2+ft of hardpack in most spots. Don't miss...
