I ride at low altitude (1200 feet) and ride 50%...

    Apex Exhaust Gutting w/ Pics

    I went for a decent spin last week. I liked the sound. It was a touch loud perhaps but still better then the old drone. Will be mostly a lake rider up here with the odd ungroomed trail.

    Top speed on your sled?

    Since I started this post my sled would top out around 86mph. Since then I added heavier weights and changed the spring to the lower elevation one recommended by yamaha. On hard pack the old girl hit 101mph on the spedo. Thats more then enough for me. Only thing I wish the sled had now was...

    Apex MtX burning oil

    Ive changed the oil on my sled at the start of winter. Since then i have put on about 600-700 miles. In that time I have had to add about a litre of oil. Im sure this is not normal. Does anyone else find their sleds burns oil? If not what can I check to deal with this issue? Thanks

    Top speed on your sled?

    Thanks to everyone for their thoughts. I think i'm going to do some playing around with weights and springs. I want the sled to have a little more top end.

    Top speed on your sled?

Just wondering what I should expect for a top speed on my sled? Riding around last year I cant remember it breaking 90mph. Just...
