For all of those looking to add a little additional storage to your sled that is easy to get to. I added the Gears tool storage bag available through parts unlimited. The bag retails for $34.95 it fits really well on the clutch guard and easily holds the spare belt. It has enough room to hold...

I was finishing up the install tonight on my new Skinz A-Arms tonight and came to the point of setting up the camber on the spindles. The directions say zero degrees is best, my question is that with the sled resting on its own weight or with the front end off the ground? Any info is greatly...

Well I finally finished modding and repairing my 09 XTX that I bought at the end of last season. When I bought the thing, I knew it needed some repairs but never thought I would end up with the list I have. Here is a list of the repairs and mods I have done: New subframe with grizztraks...

I removed my stock tail light and installed the 14" led taillight bar from grote, now the brakelight doesnt come on all the time and I usually have to have the lever depressed really hard. I noticed the stock tail light had a small inline resistor so I tried wiring that in but no difference. Can...

I am putting the sled back together after a major over haul and I happened to look in the fuse panel and seen that it has a 30 amp ignition fuse instead of the 20? This sled is new to me so the previous owner must have put it in there? I tried a search to see if this was some kind of fix for...

SO after I bought this sled last year I saw a few drops of coolant on the floor but I could never see where it was coming from. Now I have the subframe off and can see it appears to be coming from the gasket between the oil pan and the lower half onf the crank case. Is this possible? Does...

SO today at work I was bored and happened to have one of my extra upper a-arm ball joints there that has the usual large amount of play in it, I spent awhile looking at aftermarket heim/ball joints trying to come up with an alternative but with the length of the ball joint its hard to find a...

I am getting the sled ready for the upcoming season, it is my first year with a used xtx. I want it to be ready to ride at a moments notice and ride all day long without concerns. So one of the things I want to take care of is the potential for overheating. So I am considering one of 3 options...

I picked up a used xtx a month back, the poor thing had a rough life prior to me getting. (Typical of most things I buy) Well it had sat in the garage in the same spot for 3 weeks with no sign of a leak. Last Sunday I drove it out of the garage so I could clean the shop, when done I parked it...

I recently purchased a 09 xtx that is in need of some repairs, the left side of the suspension took a shot and bent the upper a-arm and the subframe is bent. The steering knuckle is also showing signs of being loose at one time, it will also need the usual ball joints and a-arm bushings. When I...

Has anyone ever tried strengthening the spindle were the upper a arm attaches by machining a solid peice to fill in the web. I took the spindle off today and noticed the hole was a little egged out. I was thinking why couldnt you machine a solid piece to fill that area in and weld it in place. I...

Well after weeks of agonizing driving hundreds of miles to demo rides I finally bought a 09 xtx with 2600 miles. Fortunatly I found this site and new all of the things to look for when I got there to look at it. I bought it at a dealer in NJ and the salesman said its clean and ready to ride, I...

Pulled the trigger on a 09 XTX, I am now calling around getting some insurance quotes for this thing. I knew it would be expensive since it is over 1000cc's but I didnt think that high. Who are you guys using for insurance and about what are you paying for full converage. I dont want to get...

Ok please excuse what may be a long post. I am ready to pull the trigger this week on a new sled either a nytro rtx, xt-x, or a inexpensive ski doo tnt. I know they are not the same caliber sled but it will get me back to riding. I have read almost everything I can about the Nytro's and have a...
