    Better Understanding of Todays Track Lengths

    Excellent thread! The 137 track is definitely the most popular track option here on the east coast. They always sell out first. However, for aggressive trail riding, the shorty is the best imo. Less push in the corners and less effort to turn. If you want it to hook up, just lay the studs to it

    APEX chaincase / reverse

    Sorry, I read you post wrong.... I've never heard tell of them popping out of FWD

    APEX chaincase / reverse

    Mine was popping out constantly when I first got it. Lengthened the horizontal rod by a couple turns and it works perfectly. I also thought the gears inside would be damaged but there was no sign of wear at all.

    Hard starting when warm.

    X2..... mine went out at around the same mileage, but just replaced the crank sensor

    Just bought 09 RS Venture, few questions....

    The left diveshaft bearing is easy to change as long as the set screws loosen up and its not seized on the shaft.....

    I will look into that quiet kit.... my rx1 and apex were actually very quiet. This thing, you would swear the primary is gonna fall off it. I will inspect the belt tonight and maybe even throw on the spair.

    Just bought 09 RS Venture, few questions....

    Brought it home last night, unloaded it off the truck and put 40 miles on it. Overall, I do like the machine, it actually has more power than I expected. But compared to my last 2 Yami's, the clutch noise is quite severe. There is also a bit of a growl or vibration at lower speeds so I'm...

    Yep! Couple weeks ago the local dealer had a "truck load" sale on them for a price of $9000. They sold out in a couple days!

    Yes, it's the base model. They still sell the same one today, at least in Canada

    It's the older flip up hood chassis

    Just bought 09 RS Venture, few questions....

    Wow! 95mph is impressive! Did not expect it to be so fast, seeing is how most 600's will not even show that. But I will put it to the test when I ride it tonight for the first time. The machine only has 3800kms on it which is very low for one of these in my neck of the woods. Most that come...

    Ok, this was completely unexpected but I actually bought a touring sled so that the wife and I could ride long trips and am thinking it will make a great tow rig for pulling the kids up the sliding hill this winter. Previous sled was an Attak and before that was an RX1 so I'm no stranger to the...

    Need some opinions....

    I know the Cat turbos get trash talked a lot on here but my local dealer is offering huge discounts ($6k off msrp) on 2015 models with 0% financing.... The temptation is getting very strong! However, I have never driven one of them and really don't know how I will like it. I know they are no...

    How many Apex owners think they want upgrade to Sidewinder?

    The thing I can't understand is why the base model SW is only $800 more than the base model Apex....Step up to the Apex SE and they are the same price. The Apex is overpriced IMO when compared to the SW.

    New 2017 Yamaha Sleds...

    "Our master engine engineers designed this engine from a blank sheet." This is a direct quote from the website yesterday.

    New 2017 Yamaha Sleds...

    Guys, we all know at this point it's a boosted triple in a tweaked cat chassis. I for one am super excited because Yamaha built this engine from scratch and is purpose built for a snowmobile....we all speculated they would be "borrowing" an engine from their motorcycle line up but they went the...

    A Cat motor in a Cat chassis with Yamaha stickers....what would be the point?

    New to me 2006 Attak

    Wow, that is a nice low mile sled! That mileage only equates to a few trips a year. Any 4s Yamaha around my neck of the woods has at least 10k miles on it lol. My 06 Attak has around 12.5K on it and still going strong. As already mentioned by Steiner, check the exhaust and W arm. These are...

    Apex exaust too loud help

    ^^^Yes I know what you mean....the tunnel acts like an amplifier to produce a resonance. Just another downside to that exhaust design. I notice it very faintly at low speed but it doesn't bother me.
