    12 Vector Ltx belt issue

    Sidewinder clutch will fit on your sled... FYI Lots of people dumping that clutch in favor of the older ones, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I have almost 19000kms on mine and the sheaves have practically zero wear.

    12 Vector Ltx belt issue

    With all due respect guys, you're over thinking it. Change, or repair the worn parts and carry on.

    12 Vector Ltx belt issue

    Why is the sky blue? Why don't they sell Coke and Pepsi at the same restaurant? How do brown chickens give brown eggs but brown cows don't give brown milk? Why the deep dive on why this happened? We found the problem, who cares why it doesn't happen exactly the same on every sled. Get some...

    Best 2012 Apex XTX skid swap?

    The most modern version of the doo 137 is the best ride. Maybe you'd have to figure out a way to extend the rear axle 3 inches?

    12 Vector Ltx belt issue

    It's not a new issue. It was over 12 years ago when I came across this. It was an RS venture, started to eat belts, the top always came off first. The owner was even on a trip in Michigan and came across a group of guys that worked for Yamaha and they had nothing to offer as to his problem. I...

    Any feedback, starter wouldn’t turn off with key

    He may have replaced it with a cheapy solenoid and that's why it stuck. Unhooking the main harness under the left panel wouldn't have stopped it from cranking. Get an oem solenoid from yamaha.

    12 Vector Ltx belt issue

    Yes, so what happens is as the belt travels up the sheave there will be a point where only the top portion of the belt is being pinched, and of course the top comes off then.

    I need a Windshield

    I use that one. I assume you're referring to part number 7606-458

    Arctic Cat Catalyst: Is a Turbocharged Four-Stroke Engine Coming?

    You're probably bang on, but a boosted 1200 would be addicting!

    12 Vector Ltx belt issue

    Correct. I realize everyone is a big fan of the 8dn belt, I used to be also. However, I came to realize I was wrong. The 8dn is too hard. Find a clutch with straight sheaves or order new ones. Use the ultimax belt. I have almost 19000kms on my sidewinder using this belt and my sheaves are...

    12 Vector Ltx belt issue

    Put a straight edge on the primary sheaves to see how much wear there is about half way up. Don't worry about the grooving near the bottom, it has almost no effect. The sheave surfaces need to be straight. I had this same problem on a rs venture years ago and it was excessive wear half way up...

    Arctic Cat Catalyst: Is a Turbocharged Four-Stroke Engine Coming?

    I really liked the individual throttle bodies, but it appears they won't be using that if those pics are correct. I don't care if it isn't a Yamaha engine, as long as it is durable. Hopefully it's an eleven or twelve hundred cc displacement. 250hp stock would be great!

    Our trails closed today. It was a great season. :)

    2011+ Apex exhaust EXUP pipe options?

    Anyone here had experience with the latest version of FX kits? I have a 2013 here with broken flanges. Just trying to figure out the best option. Maybe I should use the BOP new flange ends? Anyone in Ontario have them. Looking at all my options. Thanks for any input.

    Grip and thumb warmer mod?

    I can't explain that one.

    Grip and thumb warmer mod?

    I had an 08 nytro. They were awful. I bought the kit to make them hotter, but the heat of them was still nowhere near that of the sidewinder.

    High RPM bogging issue 2003 Rx-1

    Has to do with the CV carbs. Almost any machine, atv, motorcycle etc, with a CV carb will not run properly without the airbox.

    High RPM bogging issue 2003 Rx-1

    You need the airbox for it to run right.

    New to me sled suggestions

    If you're looking for rider comfort, better handling and suspension, find a clean Viper or Cat 7000
