Does engine oil need to be drained to prevent oil from flowing out once the stub shaft is removed?

Doing a quick check on sled prior to a last upcountry (county) trip, and found some wear on my primary weights! Weird thing for me is, these were new end of last season, and I’ve never seen any of my past Yamaha weights do this. Last season, I replaced both roller and ramp/weight, I think at...

I read quite a bit on this on this forum, but have a few questions pertaining to gaskets needed for total job, if in fact I need to remove the Chain Tensioner for cam movement for timing reset. Does the valve cover have a rubber type reusable gasket? And same with the Chain Tensioner? Timing...

Have a Camoplast 8FG-47110-20 on the above mentioned sled. It is the original 1.25” lug track on this 136” track. Is it a one ply or two ply? Need to know before I stud my wife’s new used sled with only 2025 miles on it!

Last years tune MS16 3bar, BOV. 2017 LTX-LE, 1 1/4 track, 144 middle studs. RPMs @ 8950-9050 with all stock springs and added washer to stock tip weight, for a total of 73.9 grams. Also have run the Daltons weights but found that I needed extra 1.5 - 2 grams for same WOT rpm. This is with the...

Is it normal for the caliper and rotor to move 1/8-1/4” as the track is spinning. I checked mine for a reason and expected the tunnel to be perfectly still where the caliper bolts thru it, but it is not! While idling and rear is lifted off the ground to permit track to spin, I see in and out...

Did not want to invade other like thread on a 2021 Center spring, so here goes! Have noticed lots of wear caused by the stock dual spring set up. The plastic slider piece in between the 2 springs causes a lot of wear on the shock body and threads. I have seen others with higher mileage with...

Looking at the pic on the bottom, you see a .065” gap between the roller nut and the clutch tower side. This has been like this since new, problem is there aren’t any Allen screws holding the collar in place on the rollers much like the clutch weights. The roller bolt head is recessed into the...

Local snowmobile clubs from the Maine County are sponsoring this attempt at breaking the world record. Today is the day for the try. Many hours of prep and hoping that the timing with Mother Nature works out for today! Check it out.... Good luck on Long Lake in St. Agatha today!

Trailered to Northern Maine (The County) for our last 3 day adventure of the season! Very glad to say that those County folk do a tremendous job for our sport. Sad to say it is over for another season, but the trails were impeccable right to the end! A few pics of the trails we rode. 105...

What are the best ones for longevity? My stock plastic bushings were replaced with the Duralon after last season and only lasted under 1000 miles, so they are junk. My 17 has around 8K on it, and I am putting the stock ones that I kept back in. pic shows the stock bushing on left ready to go...

Hey guys, I have a brother who has an 06 Vector with 12,000 miles, of which he is the original owner. This sled has had an idle problem for a couple of years now, and after hearing it last season during a ride, my thought was a dirty carb. It just came back from non franchise shop which has...

New England Sled Talk on Facebook. Guy received a ticket from Wardens for Non Stock Exhaust on a Sidewinder yesterday. From Bangor but did not say where this happened, and did not know what kind of exhaust he has on it. Just said that it was not loud and his dad’s Viper was louder. Any more...

I got the Max Spool 16 at the end of last season and ONLY managed a weekend in the County with it. About 440 miles in 1 1/2 days. At that time I was utilizing my dealers' set up. Slightly machined primary which allows belt to ride up to about 1/8" to the top of the shortest sheave, secondary...

What are the limits to both of these stock components? My simple research from questions and answers from this site are: Stock BOV will start leaking in the 15s, so if your tune calls for over 15 lbs of boost, you should upgrade your BOV. Stock sensor allows for accurate boost readings to the...

Well my Ice Attack XT 1.22”x 137” track lost some lugs about 800 miles ago, and that single ply track does not just lose the lug top, but takes some track outside skin off with it when that happens. I think it was damaged while spinning on lake ice trying to top out. Ice was rough in spots...

Saw a reply on a post yesterday, it was a copy and paste from TD’s Facebook. It listed the tunes and hp ratings. Want to know what the sm tunes put out. On that post reply the sm-eco was 240, and the sm-Powertrail was 250 hp. I now have the TD Eco tune for modded stock muffler @ 245 hp, next...

Can one upgrade from a TD 245 tune and get the Knock light? Or does one need to buy a bundle with flasher to get the new Knock Light. Tell you why I am interested. I like the simple 245 tune because of the” 87 - 91 octane” needs. Very safe. The next step (262) because of “91 octane preferred...

Trailered a bit over an hour from my home town. Take a look at what they do with little snow. Fast trails with ice base

Picked up my Sled this afternoon with a new tune. TD 250 tune to go with the stock muffler mod, so a 245 hp tune. Noticed upon my initial start that the red light on left of pod ( cold engine light) is no longer functional. Was told that was normal with tune. So I have questions for you guys...
