    2016 LTX DX.Oil blew out for the third time....stuck separator valve

    2016 Viper LTX DX. I usually shake the sled good before starting but forgot this time. I now just refill and drive, then clean out everything when I do an oil change. Happened outside twice but one on the shop floor, oily mess! Has anyone put in the updated part which is supposed to fix the issue?

    Chain case bearing life expectancy

    I changed the bearings on my 2016 at 11,000 miles. The clutch side can be regreased quite easily. I pulled the chain case apart due to a reverse issue and did them because everything was apart.

    Help viper stalls

    I had trouble similar to yours and found it took awhile to run that crap gas through. Changed plugs and used a high quality injector cleaner, fixed the problem. I change the plugs every year. It's a cheap maintenance thing. Plugs do go bad on a four stroke sometimes.

    2017 Viper hard start

    My 2016 has always taken 3-5 sec to start (12,000 miles) even when warmed up. Had trouble with cold weather one year and I changed the plugs and problem solved. I change the plugs every couple of thousand miles now. I'm outside of Wpg. and we get some cold here. I started with the cheapest fix...

    Snowtrackers..dumb question

    I run semi-agressives on my 2016 LTX-DX and they are amazing in the trails. They grab in reverse on my wood floor and coming off the trailer so I mounted some plastic runners for that.

    Manual Reverse Shifter

    Has anyone tried the manual shift lever from Barn of Parts? Does it work? Pros and cons if there are any. Getting a little tired of my 2016LTX-DX only going into reverse when it feels like it. What an awful design.

    New flash?

    My 2016 LTX DX turns over 4-5 seconds then starts and usually stalls once. Has always done it. The new flash is supposed to solve that issue and up the performance a bit. Who knows what that means. If it will start better then my starter should last longer.

    New flash?

    I just read on Hard Core Sledder that there is a flash for 2021 Vipers. Anybody know the real story? It is supposed to improve the cold weather starting ( I'm in Manitoba, we get lots of -30c ) , and improve the performance to Nytro power and speed. I'm going to take to my dealer too.

    2016 Viper Stall on acceleration

    Had a similar problem with my 2016 LTX after tipping over on the right side. Took it to the dealer as I could not get it to run properly. He Played with the thumb throttle and just reset it on the cable at the throttle. Took him about 5 seconds...perfect after that.

    Steering issue

    Noticed a huge amount of snow and ice underneath on my 2016 LTX. Solved that problem right away with some black Gorilla tape. I covered all the openings I could see, and put some on the edges of the rubber boots. Never had a buildup since.

    Snow trackers on Tuners

    I put semi aggressive Trackers on my 2016 LTX DX. Turns like a race car on the trails......they hate reverse coming out of my shed! I only run them after we have a good base of snow. I run Doolys 6" until then, they do not turn near as well. Trackers for sure!

    14 Viper hard start, crank and crank.....

    I have a 2016 LTX DX and had the turn over a bunch of times before starting thing too. I thought maybe clogged injectors might be part of it. I put a double dose of XP3 fuel treatment in two tanks of fuel. Starts better. Cheap fix and it seems to have worked for me.

    Steering Play

    I have tightened the nut on the bottom of the steering column once a few years ago, play has come back but cannot tighten the nut now. The nut turns and won't snug up. Is there a way to get the nut to tighten up....maybe a wrench on the top of the column? used a quick burst on the drill but no...

    Cooling with Scratchers ?s

    I have the cable type scratchers on the skid and leave them down all the time. Have never had an overheat issue yet. Only gets hot when idling too long on a warm day. Another plus is I just put on new stock sliders after over 7,000 miles. The old ones were not even that bad.

    New ski upgrade recommendations !!

    I put Snowtracker semi-aggressive on my tuner skis (2016 Viper LTX-DX) and they are fantastic on the trails. Turns like its on rails. The Trackers don't like reverse very much! The Tuner skis are not good in deep snow. I am looking for a better combo of both conditions but love how the Trackers...

    Serious brake fade or lack of brakes??

    Just saw a snowmobile show this morning about brakes. One suggestion to cure brake fade was to put a heavier brake fluid in to prevent the fluid from boiling and causing brake fade. I didn't know there was a heavier fluid.. My Viper recently had a total failure of the master cylinder...

    Master Brake Cylinder Failure

    It was the brake lever, plunger and reservoir that failed. Haven't heard of anyone else having this issue, I must have got the dud!
