    Oil Filter Confusion.

    I'm confused, I have three oil filters and it's time for oil changes. I have a 2012 and 2016 Apex, as well as a 2003 RX1. The filters I have are 5GH-13440-70-00, 5GH-13440-71-00, and a 5GH-13440-60-00. The 70 and 71 I have marked Apex and the 60 is unmarked. When I check these part numbers...

    Clutch confusion.

    I switched the RX1 helix(49/41) with the SRX(51/43) without changing anything on the primaries. Have since figured out, that does not work. The shallower the helix angle, the higher the WOT rpm and vice versa.

    Clutch confusion.

    Today we were out testing my RX1 and SRX700 for radar runs this weekend. The RX1 had a 49/41 helix w/Hauck VP weights and SRX700 had a 51/43 with Heel clickers. I switched them, thinking they would get back to stock or close to it. The RX1 rpms went from 10300 to 9500 and the SRX700 went...

    Is there more there?

    Doing some test n tune on the RX1 yesterday. Running 108-110 in 1000’. Hooking up is a problem, changing studs should help. My question concerns the stock primary. Is there more there or is this it. Running Hauck VP weights and spring. WOT rpms are 10,250 with a finishing climb to 10,500...

    Radar Runs: How many studs is too many?

    Radar Runners, how many studs is too many. Started running my '03 RX1 this year. Picked up a 136" Hacksaw with 162 Gold Diggers. Studs are 1/4" longer than the lugs. If we launch hard, it will spin for a good 150' before it hooks. Weight transfer is good. Sled carries the skis a strong...

    Radar Runs and melting Hyfax!

    My son and I are starting to do some radar runs with our RX1 since there is no snow in Minnesota. We ran last weekend and promptly destroyed a slightly used set of slides in four runs. We are running on ice, no snow. What's the secret? Not changing slides after every weekend. Help.

    03 rx1 track alignment help

    Keep the rear axle bolt snug, just loose enough for the adjusters to move. This will take any play in the rear wheels out of the equation. I quarter turn on the adjuster can make significant changes. I always start with the nuts flush with the end of the adjuster and count the turns as I...

    Help! Supercharged Nytro leaking oil onto the exhaust header.

    Update. Valve cover gasket is fine. Oil spray was coming from the oil tank vent hose. Had it tucked in behind the battery. Recently did an oil change, oil level is a little over full. Rerouted the hose away from the exhaust. Crisis averted! Thanks for the input.

    Help! Supercharged Nytro leaking oil onto the exhaust header.

    7psi, have never had a back fire. Can't remember where I routed the vent hose. Gotta take it apart, can't see anything. Most of the oil is on the clutch side of the motor.

    Help! Supercharged Nytro leaking oil onto the exhaust header.

    Was out riding today when I noticed the smell of burning oil. Popped the plastics off and took a look. The shield around the exhaust header is full of oil. Valve cover gasket? It's a 2012 with 5000 miles. Been supercharged for about 1500 miles. Leaving on Thursday for the North Shore. Not...

    Extreme cold start up and oil on the snow.

    Update. Called the Wix Filter Tech line and described my situation. Oil used is Mobil 1 0W-30. Filter is a NAPA Platinum 41358. The probable cause was a hardened filter gasket. Filter gaskets have a shelf life of around 5 years, even if they just sit on the shelf. Did not know this. Both...

    Extreme cold start up and oil on the snow.

    Got to check things out last night. It appears all the oil came from around the oil filter gasket. The filter needed very little effort to remove. I've never seen this before. Thanks for the tip.

    Extreme cold start up and oil on the snow.

    Riding the North Shore this weekend. It was -17 F this morning when I started my two 2012 Nytros. They started up fine. When I moved them there was oil on the snow right in the middle under the motor. The oil on the snow had a sprayed pattern, solid in the middle with misty drops on the...

    Coolant leak/water pump?

    It's more than likely the mechanical seal in the pump. everything else is sealed by o rings. You won't know until you get it out. I've got pictures but for the life of me, I can't ever get them to upload. Get a service manual, oil pan has to come off. You're going in deep. Dealer tells me...

    weld in bung for o2 sensor

    Yes, you can run the wire along with the trail light wires. You want the wire up close to the tunnel protector if you still have them. This wire can get pretty abused. The tunnel protector works to protect the wiring also. Zip tie it to the top of the protector. The hard part is welding the...

    weld in bung for o2 sensor

    Right before the muffler. Position it about 2 o'clock. Needs to point downward so you don't get moisture buildup.

    Coolant leak/water pump?

    Bad news, it's the water pump. The weep hole is directly above. Major job! Motor has to come out. Did it last spring and now I'm doing it again. As long as the leak is slow it's more of nuisance than a problem. Started doing it again this winter. Went through a quart of antifreeze in 20...
