    Starting After Tank Drain

    I bought an '05 RS-ER two years ago in March for $3200 with 3200 miles on it. I always drain the tank and the carb bowls for summer storage due the the CRAPPY gas we have to deal with {ethanol 10%}. For the past two seasons, once I refill the tank it takes a full 90 seconds of cranking to get...

    Do I really need the Battery Tender quick connect?

    I recommend the quick connect for the BT. The jumper cable leads really need to be taped up and ty-wrapped down. Previous owner of my sled wasn't paying attention when he closed the hood and caused them to short together, creating enormous heat to the point that he melted a one foot section of...

    Cam Chain Tensioner Replacement (3 cylinder engine 05-07)

    srvfan, Spend a little on gas and take it to Woody's in Topsham, Maine about 15 minutes north of Portland. Their package deal will save you way more than the gas money you will spend. See my previous post from March. Paid $350 for the replacement and gave them some more annual maintenance...

    Same experience for me as aceltx09 - maybe it's us New Hampsters that are just lucky Called Scott Monday Morning Mar 28th 9:15am. He answered and we spoke for 20 minutes (he got me up to speed on what I was getting and how to set it up). Ordered 6" Tri Points and he threw in 1/4" Ski Savers...

    Cam Chain Tensioner Replacement (3 cylinder engine 05-07)

    +1 For Woody's in Topsham, Maine. They just did my '05 Vector last week. They offer a package deal for $350 plus the cost of oil (and filter if you want that done at the same time). I thought it was quiet when I bought it two weeks ago (used with 3300 mi) but now it is amazingly quiet and...

    2005 RS Vector - General Maintenance Issues/Questions

    Overhaul The '05 Rearend I plan on dropping the skid and replacing the 4 idler wheels with larger 5-1/4"/136mm versions with replaceable bearings. The Excell X-Wheels are for '06 and later because of bearing size, so I'll have to go with generic 136mm. Also plan to add the marginal snow wheel...
