My 2012 Vector has 13500 miles with virtually now problems except one exhaust expansion pipe broke, replaced the pipe and all donuts, all good again. Question is, what should I do to the clutch as preventative maintenance? I have put on a "comfort" spring and anti rattle spacers in. Great sled..

I have done the same as I couldn't back into my garage with confidence, after the spring change it's fantastic.. Best sled..

A friend has a new this year 2017 Sidewinder and is experiencing very poor gas mileage and performance. He's comparing his to my Vector so apples & oranges, but he's getting about 12-15 MPG CDN and his top speed is just over the C note. Is this normal?? I think that there may be a "break in...

The oil filter is very easy to change on the Vector. It's good and cheap insurance. Change it each time you change oil..

Ya I got it done, just braced it better and got a bigger hammer, thanks anyway.

Hi,do I need to have a special tool to remove the ball joints from the hub so that I may change the wheel bearings, ball joints are good, any info on this would be great. Thanks

Thanks all you sledders who took the time to read and respond to my note. I have talked to Chis at SBM and he is sending me the "comfort kit" and anti rattle shims. He says this will remedy my problem. Now I hope to get the parts before all our snow is gone so I can give it a try.. Thanks...

Goo idea, will do. Thanks :-o

I found the comfort kit on there site but not the antirattle kit. Sent then a note but yet to receive a reply..

I bought the sled new so am guessing the whole unit is stock. I live in Canada but bought the sled at Bee Line in Minnesota.. I am familler with chain adjustment but new to reverse in the chaincase, my previous sled were two stroke and the engine reversed. The chain is as it should be. Would...

Does Schmidt Bros. have a web site I can visit?? The kit they supply for the money would be better(cheaper) option then a Polaris clutch.. Thanks

Re: clutches Thanks for the reply, Stubby; The roller change sounds like it would be a fix as I'm guessing that the 14.5 roller s are slightly bigger then the stock ones. Where would I get a set of these?? As for the secondary spring, yes it would change the whole profile of the clutches...

. I have a '12 Vector and really like the sled. I have been on Polaris for over 30 years. The last 2 Polaris had M-10 suspension and they worked very well, I like a smooth ride, I'm not a ditch banger or lake racer just a older rider who loves the sport. I Switched to the Vector as I rode a...

Good ol' "made in china" parts!!! :o| :o|

How does the Vector compare with the RX-1 in the performance dept.?? How about diff in MPG.. :-o

My '12 LTX did 99 on a 2000 foot radar run recently and the wishmeter read 102mph, so the gage is pretty good, at least compared to the older Yammies.. I tried premium fuel at one point, even though the book says regular ONLY. I found perfornance lacking with premium so went back to regular and...

Re: Blown Belts on new 2012 Vector in 700 miles I also have a '12 vector. The original belt was on for 2000 miles then I changed to a Ultimax. The Yamie belt didn't fail I just wanted a softer compound belt. The ultimax went bad after 1800 miles so the Yamie bel :Rockon: t is back on.. check...

I have a '12 Vector. Would it have fuel filters?? If so and there in the tank, how does one get there to check or change them??? :sled1:

My '12 Vector is the same. I'm used to Polaris clutches, very smooth. If I could get the proper info about "fit" I would change to a Polaris clutch.. Other then that, if a differant spring would work, that would sure be a less expensive fix.. I put on a Ultramax belt, this helped but still not...
