Relax! Not what you are thinking! 18 LTX-LE, there is more to this issue and question but just need to get some initial feedback. If the brake lever was partially pressed while riding, would it create enough brake disk friction/heat to melt the black plastic cover that is riveted under the sled...

Got the Winder home yesterday and discovered two of the four lower bolts on the riser were loose. They were snug but noticeably more loose then the other two. Does anyone know if the dealer installs the riser or does it come from the factory installed? Hopefully it was just a dealer oversight...

137 LTX-LE, Curve XS skis, 192 studs down the middle - As usual, like everyone else, I don't want it not to push in the corners but have the steering pressure be as light possible. Is there anyone on TY with this setup that can tell me how much carbide to run?

Yamaha does not have much choice for a taller windshields for the Sidewinder. No surprise there. A/C seems to have several choices. I'm looking for mid-height. Anyone put an A/C windshield on a Sidewinder? Which one? How about A/C side deflectors?

I have a Sidewinder LTX LE with the 137 track coming this fall. The stock track is a 1.25 inch lug. 1.25 can't be long enough for 200h.p. I am trying to decide whether to stud it or swap for an aftermarket Camoplast. I think there is a 1.6 lug with studs inserted in the lugs. Looking for...

I ride in Michigan but have only ridden in Cadillac a few times. Northwest of Cadillac is the little burg of Boon. I understand that there is often a bonfire for sledders by Boon. Can anyone tell me specifically where the bonfire is? Is it right on the trail? The bonfire at Lakeninland in the...

Trying to install lighter on 09' Nytro XTX. What a pain. :o| :o| Where is the plug? Is it on the clutch side? Is it up by the headlight? It is a two wire oval/oblong plug. Is it wrapped in black electrical tape that is zip-tied to the inside of the frame? I have snooped and looked all over...

Sled is occasionally missing at WOT 9300-9400 rpm. Installed new plugs, still misses sometimes. At what rpm does the rev limiter activate? Am I possibly over-reving the motor at WOT? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Guys are still looking to buy new leftover Nitros three years after they quit making them. Shouldn't this be an indicator to Yamaha Corp. about what the next TOTALLY YAMAHA trail chassis should look like? Someone let me know if I make any sense at all or am I just a disoriented crazy nut job...

:o| I have 14" aluminum wheels that leak every year around the tire bead. The wheels carode and oxidize which causes slow leak. At a minimum 2 out of 4 wheels leak every year. I have tried using transmission fluid to reseal the bead. I was told that the transmission fluid has additives that...

I found this product at Home Depot. It is used as a snow and ice nonstick on snow blowers, plows and shovels. Has anyone used this on a tunnel? Any good results? :yam:

Hey, the riding seasons is over. lets share some tips, tricks and ideas for doing maintenance and upgrades. Here is one to start the discussion. 09' Nitro XTX. When you need to replace wheels or bearings on the rear axle without removing the skid, it can be a real knuckle buster to reinstall...

09' Nitro. 6500 miles. Changing chain case oil for the first time. The old oil looks the color of Hersheys chocolate. Light tannish creamy brown color. Is this normal color for old oil? Should I be concerned with possible moisture leaking into the chain case? Should I just change the oil, not...

Need to put plastic hand guards on 2010 Vector. Need maximum wind protection. Either OEM or aftermarket. Price not a factor. Who makes guards with the most wind protection?

When will Yamaha announce the 2016 models? All of the pretty new graphics on the 2015 stuff.

Where can I find explanation of user rankings? Does Mr. Sled assign them?

09' Nitro XTX. Recently replaced plastic bushings in front A arms with the Olite accessory kit from Yamaha. With the old plastic bushings, I would periodically lube with silicone spray. Should I silicone lube the new Olite bushings? Would appreciate any comments or thoughts. :sled1:

09' Nitro. Installed a handlebar riser. Need to adjust throttle and brake lever. Throttle no problem just loosen two Phillips screws. Brake side not so easy. I don't see Phillips screws. How do you adjust brake lever placement? Any help much appreciated. :sled1:

09 Nitro XTX. 4800 miles and lower ball joints are real loose. Need to be replaced. Anyone else experience this? Seems premature. Ride mostly clean snow in upper Michigan and U.P. Tow sleds enclosed. Have not lubed joints. Should they be lubed periodically? Any comments would be appreciated.

Might as well start now. Anyone want to guess how many recalls there will be on the Viper. Sorry - trick question. Unlike all the AC recalls and updates, all changes will be accessory updates that you get to pay for.
