    06 GT wont start unless throttle is pressed then runs rough

    Right on sounds good. I plan on putting the rad back in once I find one or fix mine. Waiting 2 weeks for one and parking the sled for the next 2 weeks is out of the question. Lol. Hopefully it won't heat up and I can finish the season off. Thanks for all the replies!

    06 GT wont start unless throttle is pressed then runs rough

    Put in a new set of plugs, dumped a little gas line antifreeze and seafoam in the tank and hit the key. Away it went and sounded like it always had. Took it for a short run. No problems. I guess the plugs were fouled. Boots were hard to get off but we changed the plugs on this sled when my buddy...

    06 GT wont start unless throttle is pressed then runs rough

    I did not drive long enough to heat the engine enough to hurt it. The temp light came on, I shut it off and waited 15 mins to go again. The light only came on twice. Like I say, it worked perfect loading it on the truck. I'm going to try it again today. Maybe there was water in the fuel...

    06 GT wont start unless throttle is pressed then runs rough

    Went riding today and the small rad by the foot well broke and was chafing on the reverse linkages. I noticed once we stopped and my buddy could smell antifreeze. So we had about 3 miles to go to get to the nearest road. Temp light came on once and I instantly shut it down and waited to keep...

    Exhaust Donuts & Y Pipes....Step by step

    Just figured I'd add to this subject... I replaced the donuts on my 06 GT. I dreaded the worst but wasn't all that bad really. My buddy has owned a Yamaha's for a couple years and has worked on then a fair bit so we tackled it last Saturday. The real part I dreaded was getting the allen...

    Apex trouble starting

    ok thanks guys! Where would I find this relay? Above the left side foot well? Which relay is it? I'd like to pick up a new one just to have and also change this one out. Thanks again!

    Apex trouble starting

    I am going to go over the kill, but what came to my mind was that if it was faulty, you wouldnt think the gauge lights would come on. With the kill down, there isn't any power anywhere. Seems to be something in the key switch..or some kind of solenoid or relay somewhere thats sticking...bad...

    Apex trouble starting

    Finally got out on my apex GT. Have to say, quite a machine coming off a 95 500 Indy. I really enjoy driving it. The White Knuckle exhaust is a bit much though...lol. Anyway, last night I went out to go for a quick ride in the field. Turned the key on to cycle though the gauge and let the pump...

    Reinstalling Skid

    I did my GT here a week ago...unbolted the limiter stap and put the rear bolts in first. The front bolts slid in with no trouble. I was amazed. It literally took longer to put the skid in the track. Last night we did my buds apex LTX...did it the same way and it took 5 minutes. Again, it...

    06 with Team clutch

    Tore into the secondary last night...Red/blue spring in it. As far as I can its a Team blue/white primary spring. 77-260 rate but is measured in mm. The stock Y-S-Y is a 77 260 as well but the measurements are diff. I'm still going to call allen and see what he says. Just figured id throw...

    06 with Team clutch

    Ok thanks! Yes, I need to get out and try it. Still waiting for parts and snow though! hehehe. Shock's getting rebuilt at Shocktec. As for adding weight to bring the rpm's back down, I would rather go with a quick change weight system. Adding and removing rivits I can see being a chore when...

    06 with Team clutch

    I got the primary off tonight...Blue/white spring in it with 8FP 00 weights with the tip rivit removed. Couldnt get the helix off the Team because I didnt have a Torx to fit...25 was too smal and 30 was to big...Soo need to find the proper torx for that...Helix angle is 58-40-46. My bud...

    06 with Team clutch

    My 06 has a Team Rapid Reaction clutch. Theres a twin trax helix in it. 58-40-46 and 58-38-46. I have to look where the "x" is to see what helix it's actually using. Just wondering what would be the better of the 2. Or maybe buy a new helix that might work better. I'll take it out tonight and...

    Help with drive shaft/track

    I replaced the track on my 06 a couple weeks ago...This is my first apex and first track install...However...I tightened eveything up on the chaincase side first then tightened the set screws on the drive axel. I also measured inside the tunnel to the outside of the drive sporcket to makesure...

    New sled...06 Apex GT

    Little update..I started wrenching on the sled a while ago...Still ordering parts and such. I went with a 1" Carve track with 144 megabite studs. Replaced all the drive train bearings and seals, all the bearings in the bogeys. The front 4 idlers had 135mm wheels with 6205 bearings. They look...

    track swap

    Have another buddy to help you put the drive shaft back in. I did it last weekend by myself and I found it hard to hold the track up and slide the shaft in. Sprockets were catching the track...track was heavy.. Would have been a lot easier with another set of hands... Also, Tighten everything...

    Help 2008 Apex longtrack gets terrible gas milage

    I hate these threads....If your worried about a 4 stroke and bad milage...Get out of snowmobiling. I run a Open mod drag sled that burns $7.90 a liter fuel plus oil. An old man one told me once, you cant make horse power with just air!! On a more serious note...That's pretty good for a sled...

    Bogie and Idler wheel replacement

    Ok thanks! There sure is a lot of choices and mods to this skid. And it all seems to be flaws of Yamaha...My shock is near wore out on the front eye. Glad I saw the pipe trick or put 2 bearings on each side of the mount. Have to say, I've never saw such a poorly designed skid...The wires to the...
