I have had both the 03 and an 05 and think you would be wasting your money dropping it into an 03.I travel with 2 other 03 sleds and there machines are nowhere to be seen when I go through a rough section plus they dont feel anywhere as firm on the trail.Also and this may be controversial but I...

re:exhaust donuts gas tank and seat will need to be removed.Also exhaust tips and all trim around muffler can as it needs to be unbolted so it can be pulled rearward a little to let the old donuts come out.We had to use some heat to let the 2 locator allan(or torx..couldnt tell they were in bad...

10200 to 10400 is bang on......add a 23 tooth top gear for some real extra push you will feel in the seat of the pants!!!!

180 mains do seem high but a trusted tuner I rely on keeps telling me that the rx-1s love there fuel so they might be the answer in your application.I also have 172.5s that I was going to install next fall as the plugs are really clean running the 170s.I also had put the pilots up 1 size but may...

I have the cams,porting,hi-comp wisecos,ecp kit with 170 mains,qc-1 pipe,cut front clutch and 23 tooth top gear and this combo makes for 1 fun sled to ride.Rpms run a bit higher(10600-10800)but this sled makes power and is explosive in the midrange and pulls like a tank opn top.We have had very...

Prior to getting my first Yamaha(and I still say 1 of the best they have ever built!) a 2000 srx I had owned a couple of ski-doos and had nothing bad at all too say about the bombi product.I have had 2 RX-1's with good results(other than the rod bolt failure on my 05)but still looked upon the...

24 -38 is stock gearing.Most will tell you they get better performance and more top end with the 23 as top gear. 05 rx-1 candy red ,ecp kit,cams ,ported heads,qc-1 pipes,172.5 mains.wiseco hi-comp pistons,hauck clutching,timing advance,and a dose of high octane fuel for good measure.

Have the battery load tested to know for sure.I had a similar problem on my 05 rx-1 and we found a loose connection up in the nose storage area of the machine where the wires pass through.This loose connection prevented the battery from charging and caused my gauge pod to go dead. 05...

I hooked up both a water temp and oil pressure gauge on my 05 rx1.The oil pressure gauge required some creativity as there really is nowhere to hook into the is accessible.How I got around this was to put the oil filter adapter they use on the turbo engines that has the outlet coming off it.I...

I have a very similar set up in my 05 rx-1 with the ecp kit,qc-1 exhaust,hauck cams,head work,a nd 13;1 wisecos.I was wondering what sort of compression numbers are you seeing and what is the gain with the cdi box and how much was it.Thanks for the input.

interested in rx-1 comparisons Hey cntrydr.....where specifically in N.S is this lake that all the running takes place on.I am in P.E.I. and would love to pop over some weekend to see the sleds run and see how mine compares.I have an 05 red rx-1 with headwork,cams ,wiseco pistons,ecp kit,qc-1...

I have done quite a bit of both engine and skid work to my o5 red rx-1 er.I have installed a water temp gage and want to also install an oil presure gage.There appears to be very limited options for where to plumb the sending unit in.There is a spot on the top back of the head and the other...

05 rx-1 spring rate adjustment For those that are not aware and are experiencing bottoming out of the rear suspension set as stiff as it can be with the twist adjuster....there is also more adjustment by removing the spring assembly and removing the spring.When the spring has been compressed...

05 suspension defects Most of you are aware of the issues with 05 RX-1 skids.I am presently upgrading mine to correct these known deficiencies.Thus far I have had 10 new bushings machined from a product called nylatrol(250cdn$) installed 10 grease fittings,welded in gussets for additional...

While the other work was being done on my sled I pulled the skid to check it out.The machine is stock and has 1400 easy trail driven miles.All bushings are toast and one of the bearings on the idler wheel is gone.On my previous 2 Yamahas with 5 years and `14000kms of driving I never had to...

I have been the proud owner of three late model Yamaha sleds(00SRX,03RX-1,&05 RX-1) and have been very happy with all three machines.About two weeks ago while on the way homewith my 05 rx-1 er my machine suffered a catastrophic engine failure on the trail.Upon inspection it appears that the #4...

I received the ECP filter kit and now have it installed.The difference is night and day.......what a compliment to the Dalton clutch components.I cant wait to get the qc-1 exhaust installed now.To all the non believers I say thanks .....without non improved machines ours would not look or be...
