    4-stroke Phazer availability

    Are nice 4-stroke phazers hard to find? Don't see many used ones listed, or not looking in the right place. Maybe people are just hanging on to them. I am looking for a friend that is a senior rider. For awhile I was also till I found a couple very nice Vectors.

    Replace motor?

    I have a thread a few lines down about problems, but no regrets. I now now know I blew a rod (correct terminology?). The dealership is working on something for me. It's an '09 Vector LTX with between 5-6K miles, and very good condition. I'm curious if anyone here has heard of or replaced a...

    Problems, but no regrets, yet

    I understand totally. Been in this since the early '80s and believe i'm pretty good at looking for signs of abuse. Wife's is really running nice now. Both were gone over thoroughly by a very reputable dealership, but I do understand that it would be hard to catch some internal problems...

    Problems, but no regrets, yet

    Well, our saga continues. Sunday we decided to head to Mercer again for some mid-week riding as conditions are great. Since we got both Vectors back we have ridden about 60 miles around home with no problems. After unloading in Mercer, I rode each up to fuel up for Monday's riding. No...

    Problems, but no regrets, yet

    Started sledding in the mid '80's, got out of the sport 3 times, but after a year each time, got back into it. Last spring bought an '06 Vector and an '08 Vector LTX for my wife and I, both with around 5500 miles. Both looked and sounded very good. Exhaust gaskets just done on the '06 and good...

    Have you stayed at Days Inn Hurley, Wi?

    While in Iron County Wisconsin, we usually stay at the Great Northern in Mercer where we have been staying since the early '90's. Due to the heavier snow line around the Pine Lake area and north, I'd like to try the Days Inn in Hurley. I believe there is an access trail off of 2 or 77 that...

    Best year venture rs

    My wife rode an '05 RS Venture for 5 years. We bought it used. Ours was a really great running and riding sled, although heavy. She rode it mostly one-up. We really never had any problem with it.

    Using Novus on windshields

    Wondering if the Novus products, commonly used on motorcycle windscreens, can be used on snowmobile windshields. I have the Novus 1, 2, & 3. I'm planning on emailing the company too. I'm guessing the 1 and maybe the 2, but maybe not the 3 because that's the most abrasive.
