I've got a major exhaust leak on my 2017 BTX, it's really loud coming from the tunnel area. I will be tearing it apart to check the damage next days off. I am assuming it's going to be a cracked header. Just curious as to what type of metal the headers are made of, are they stainless. Also...

My buddy has a 2009 RS venture carb model. It will not start. It used to light up the gauge pod and cycle the speedometer needle when the key is turned on but now it doesn’t. No power at all. He has checked the fuses up on the left hand side of the engine compartment and they look fine. He has...

I did a search and found nothing about using this oil in the vipers. I used it in my RX1 and still use it in my wife’s attack without issues. Are there any of you using it in the vipers. On a side note I went to my usual Yamaha place to get some 0w40 yamalube and they wanted $32 for a liter so...

This may be a long shot but….. I have a ZX2 skid that I pulled out of my RX1 that I want to install in my 06 attack. I put the stock skid back into the RX1 and removed the ZX2 mount plates before I sold it. Does anyone have a set of plates to fit an 06ish apex or attack with the mono skid they...

Are there other options for the 2017 BTX skid shocks than the stock fox float 3 evol’s. Something to handle a bit more weight. I’m 280# and have the evil chamber at 280 and the main chamber at 140 and the suspension has way to much sag. I use the sled for ice fishing and When I put a pack in the...

I have a 2017 Viper BTX with fox float 3 evol’s and I need some help with understanding how to adjust them. I just don’t want what pressures to set them at, I want to understand what the different pressures will do depending on rider weight and style of riding. I have no idea what to set either...

I have a 2017 viper BTX and I am looking for a bit better performance. The sled is stock except for a trail can and the soft start primary spring from BOP. I am not concerend with faster top end speed, it is fine as it is but I want better mid range. About 75% of my riding is off trail lake...

The heated seat on my 2017 BTX has stopped working and talking with the yamaha rep, he says that they have been a problem and the heating element has to changed. Would I be able to use any heated seat element or would I need to go with the stock one. I dont want to put another stock one in if...

I lost my rear suspension on the trail today, it was completely collapsed. When I checked the pressures of both shocks they were right where they were supposed to be. I know nothing about these shocks so I am wondering what could be the problem. When I remove them will I be able to get them...

I took my 2017 BTX into the shop to thaw it out tonight. once the snow started melting off of it I noticed oil In the the snow. I investigated further and found the inside of the air box completely covered in oil. What would be the cause of this and what do I do to fix it.

Can anyone confirm if the BOP belly pan protector fits the vipers, 2017 BTX to be specific. It says sidewinder in the description but nothing about the vipers. I PM'ed Travis over a week ago but haven't heard back from him.

Found this video for a no start situation in extreme cold and thought it was worth postion. It's a cool idea that might help someone out one day. It's for a Skandic but would work for any sled i'm sure

I bought the viper BTX because I like back country travel in the north and after a couple years of use I found out what I desperately needed on the sled to make it more user friendly. Last year I built and installed tunnel stiffeners so I could mount a cargo rack without worrying about bending...

I’m looking for some Bluetooth helmet speakers to install in my snowmobile helmet. I don’t want the type with the intercom, just some speakers so I can listen to music. I have a real nice set installed right now that are plug in type but want Bluetooth. Can’t seem to find much. Any ideas.

I have a 2017 viper BTX and I want to install frog skin type material on the exixsting vent holes to keep snow out of the engine compartment and creating ice down in the tie rod boot area. I don't want to add extra vents, just cover up the ones that are already there. I have scoured the internet...

A bit of history on my situation. I say history because this has been an ongoing situation for three years now. The only good thing that came out of it was I got so frustrated that I went out and bought a new viper. 2003 Rx1 was gunning great except for a slightly rough idle. Decided to pull the...

I have pulled the carbs of my 03 rx1 for the 8th time trying to figure out the bog. It starts and idles fine but bogs just as the clutches engage and won’t move. If I play with the choke I can drive it around some. This has me thinking it’s the pilot circuit but All the jets look clean as new...

I want to put a Canada sled parts tunnel rack on my BTX but have heard lots of horror stories of bent tunnels from carrying cargo. I can see why, they are paper thin. Im not a big fan of the ones that go on the outside of the tunnel so I designed my own out of 1/8” aluminum. It goes On the...

I want to do some kind of tunnel stiffener on my 2017 btx so I can install a rack and pull a sleigh without worrying if my tunnel will bend. I’m not that crazy about ones that go on the outside of the tunnel so I am thinking about putting one on the inside. I have a plan worked out but I would...

I have looked all over and can not find a snow screen kit for the 2017 vipers. I find it hard to believe that no one has made one yet. Does anyone have any suggestions.
