    For anyone/everyone that has shimmed the stock skis

    Should have mentioned a couple of other things on this. Did you check the gap between the floor and the front of the carbide before and after adding the shim? Before doing anything, I checked the carbide contact on the garage floor. I noted they were flat to the floor but when I pulled the...

    For anyone/everyone that has shimmed the stock skis

    Yep, same for me 1/4" on my MTX. I cut a piece of leftover rubber matting I used in my enclosed trailer. I used 2 very small stainless screws to attach the extra piece to the stock rubber. Since it is softer rubber - at room temp - I was going to add a second for a test of 1/2" but the...

    Helmets

    I use a Shark RSR2 (Indy green/red pattern) with a yellow shield and breath box (winter option). Bought it off eBay at a real good price compared to retail. May be a knock off but ti works so well. It's a high tech, high dollar motorcycle helmet but it reviewed real well for anti fogging...

    '06 Apex RTX Carbide Wear Question

    ....and it works!!!!! I used some leftover 1/4" rubber matting from my trailer retrofit. I also now have the hard "plastic" shims from Bergstrom in 2 thickness to try next. I want to see if there is a positive difference to a material change. An amazingly simple idea to keep the runner...

    Buying 08 Apex MTX - Need Aftermarket Advice

    Sorry, I forgot to mention the addition of a ice scratchers. I use the flexible ones so reverse doesn't tear them off. It really helps with cooling on low snow trails. When not is use or when loading in the trailer, I tuck them on top of the rails.

    Buying 08 Apex MTX - Need Aftermarket Advice

    Congrats on your purchase. I have an 09 MTX I bought new last year. The biggest thing will be the handling. Mine almost threw me off due to darting on the trail to the play area. I so far have added 1/4" homemade shims to the stock skis with stock runners. I also have some ski savers from...

    Apex drone

    I like the drone. It does change and quiet down when speeding up a little. As a child of the late 60's and early 70's It reminds me of the big blocks of the muscle car era. It is a sweet harmonious sound to my old ears and lets me know everything is gonna be alright! I hear most of the...

    Advice on Bergstrom triple points & snowtrackers

    It took me at least 2 weeks to get through the busy signal and then a couple of no answers. But when I did get through, Scott is good to talk with and he is not a pressure salesman. I was actually talked out of the full set up with Triple Points and instead he sent me the Ski savers and...

    Windshield replacement

    hmmmm....thanks. I was just wondering on the similarity. Must be me making the errors. I have been researching the net and looking closely at all the photos with a mid rise windshield and they all look just like the ones I have. I will keep working on it. At first it was for cold hands...

    Windshield replacement

    Based on the packaging, it's the Yamaha OEM shield number listed on the website and in the local shop Yamaha catalog for an 09 Apex. Does anyone know if the shield shape changed from 07 or 08 to '09? This has me baffled as my shop does not have any in stock to compare. Looks like it...

    Windshield replacement

    Not sure if this goes here or in the tech section but I have an issue when I tried to replace the low stock windshield with a mid rise Yamaha shield. The contours of the new, taller windshield does not seem to allow for easy nylon screw replacement. I keep snapping the screws closest to the...

    Ski's

    I just went through this. I have the 09 MTX and it almost beat me into submission on the first 2 rides - 15 miles of trail in and out nothing but darting and hunting other ruts. My old Mountain Max's never had this trouble on the trail! I read a lot about new skis and even see a few...

    Want to get a good Helmet... Sugestions?

    I took a different route than others because I am stubborn. I have 2 ZR1 helmets, one with plain and one with a double shield. Both fogged badly. I primarily use a Shark RSR2 Indy Patten with the yellow face shield and winter mouth/nose cover. It is an amazingly light helmet with...

    wraps for apex

    Anything specific in mind? Do you have a specific design or theme in mind? Colors? I have all the printing, cutting and laminating equipment in addition to the software required to do this but have not done any wraps for sleds - yet. I can do sled wraps, matching t-shirt, hats and...
