The last 2 times out I've had a strange stumble that is very sporadic. Changed some VERY wet plugs after the last ride, and it was good, for about 100 feet. Luckily I just happened to notice this trick as I was going to load. So I guess I get to spend some quality time tracing wires and...

So my wife's sled was running a little strange last spring. Didn't idle well and was down on power. Assumed it just needed a carb cleaning, so finished that up this last weekend, and... here I am! Took the carbs apart, like I have done for the last 8 years or so, and cleaned all jets...

Title pretty much says it all. New to me xtx with a Barkers straight through exhaust. Around 5900 rpm there is a pretty clear popping from the exhaust. The engine doesn't miss a beat, just sounds like fuel igniting in the exhaust system. Clears up past around 6500. It does NOT backfire or...

Just kidding, I've been riding for a LONG time, but... I just added an unbelievable clean 2009 Nytro XTX to the fleet. Barkers exhaust (too loud, silencer insert on the way) 2" track, and a couple of other aftermarket goodies. I'm extremely familiar with the RS's, I've had literally every...

So I know that my oil tank was full last spring when I summerized my sled. Pulled it out of storage, and now the oil tank is nearly empty! The kicker is there is no visible oil in the plastic and not a drop below the sled... So logically, it has to be somewhere, and the only spot is in the...

Found a rental place in the Black Hills that only rents out Yamaha's, and I can say after a day of riding with 6 people in the group, it is really, really nice to have nothing but 4 strokes in your riding party! (my sleds on the ends, with 4 rentals) Anyway, great day of riding!

So I was out on a ride today, and noticed my exhaust note had changed, especially at idle. (had ridden about 10 miles) Ended up stopping and checking things out, and the middle cylinder isn't running. (I was able to unplug that coil pack with zero change.) Tried swapping the plugs as well as...

I don't want to slice and dice some expensive plastic parts, so... Anyone that has done a tunnel extension on a yamaha have any advice? I'm GUESSING this piece needs to be cut into 3, with the middle section being tossed?

So back in my 2 stroke days, jetting for elevation was absolutely critical. Even a couple thousand foot rise could turn a sled into a blubbering pig to ride. But now on the carb'ed 4 strokes, they don't seem to be nearly as picky, at least that is my perception. Guys ride yamaha sport bikes...

quick question, anyone know off hand which seats will fit on a warrior/rx1? I'm looking at a 2011 apex seat, it LOOKS like it should fit (with shroud trimming), just want to make sure...

So short of using "The Force", I'm just not seeing how that bottom bolt is coming out. The engine is about as far forward as it will go, I think the throttle and choke cables are limiting at this point. Any tips?

So just a thought, anyone convert a 4 stroke yamaha to turn on the electrical with the key on? Lots of positives, you can turn on the headlights if you need some light without starting everything up, or a quick fuel check without opening the tank. Shouldn't be too hard, just haven't dug into...

So i'm looking at adding a second yamaha 4 stroke and replacing my old vmax... Wife and I ride either fairly rough ungroomed trails (aka ditches) on the flat lands, or relatively open groomed trails in the black hills in SD. (I currently have a 2004 warrior, arctic cat ZR 600, and vmax 600...

So my [un]trusty Arctic Cat ZR 600 finally pissed me off enough... So far, it is 100% at doing something dumb when I trailer it out of town. In my home area, it has been rock solid. Get it on a trailer for a couple hours, and it randomly breaks in 20 minutes or less after hitting the snow...
