    2022s already? Diagnosing Piston Failures (two stroke)

    I think I will stick with my 4 banger 4 stroke for awhile. I like the 2 strokes, but I just don't have the time to mess with them nor do I have the time to fix them or the money to modify them. Espsecially when we are talking $15,000.00. out the door. The thing better work for that much...

    Did Ski-Doo just match Yamaha in the 4 stroke department?

    Isn't the Yamaha Turbo "on paper" rated at 180HP? Well Ski-Doo 2022 turbo just matched that "on paper" Everyone gives 4 strokes a hard time but Ski-Doo obviously has been dumping TONS of money into their 4 stroke program and nobody does that just for the heck of it.

    APEX XTX 1.25 Convert to Ice Cobra 1.6 Is it EASY?

    Without anyone beating me up to "go do a search a$$ hole" could an actual person who converted from the stock 1.25 inch track to the ICE Cobra 1.6 tell me if its just a simple slap on and no modifications needed? Also, is it really worth the hype to spend $630.00 going from the stock 1.25...

    What is the article saying (go to the end) Are they saying a new Apex is in the works or are they saying something else? I don't get it. I'm at work, so sorry if I missed something in the article. http://www.supertraxmag.com/features/whats-next-for-yamaha/n3844

    Apex line is officially officially toast. 2020 sleds are here.

    Sorry but I am a "made in japan" type of Snowmobile guy. The fit and finish of a Japanese snowmobile is unmatched. I was so hoping they would bring back my favorite engine but they didn't :dunno: Considering snowmobiles cost as much as a Yamaha motorcycle if not more, I want my engine to last...

    Is this a scam by the dealer?

    "titled as a 2017 but has all the upgrades to make it a 2018" How can they legally do that? How could you re-sell it in the future as a used "2018"? https://powersports1.com/Snowmobiles-Yamaha-Apex-X-TX-LE-1-75-50TH-2018-Appleton-WI-43826998-3047-46e4-8e29-a84901652b19

    Best cost effective communications device?

    Technology is always changing. Just wondering what people are using for sled to sled communications with each other. Is it hard to hear over the sound of the engine / exhaust? Or do you just use a modular flip up helmet instead of electronics? Thanks

    My dealer says way way too many snowmobile choices 2017. He is pissed!!

    As crazy as it sounds, my dealer is actually pissed that Yamaha is making so many different models / configurations of snowmobiles 2017. He doesn't know what to order. I'll just stick with my Apex. I think I am just as confused as he is.

    Please, no more posts of air box mods.

    An air box mod on a computer controlled Apex that utilizes the pressure waves will screw up your sled. If you think you are smarter than Japanese motorcycle engineers, you are not.
