    Viper voltage issue

    Sorry, if this has been addressed somewhere before, but I looked at numerous older threads without a solid answer. Here's the story. 2015 Viper LTX-SE. Was at about 70 miles last Sat when got P0562 (low voltage) code. Apparently, the headlights were more dim than normal too. Engine also was...

    Floor protection and pattern for inline trailer

    I just purchased my first enclosed (non clam shell) trailer. It's a 7x19' (14' box and 5' V nose) Lightning inline trailer. Since you have to stagger the sleds to get them to fit, I'm wondering what type of positioning you use for floor protection. All my sleds are studded. So, first off any...

    Throttle (and starting) issue

    Was up in Rhinelander last week. Temps were pretty cold over the weekend. I have a 2017 Sidewinder LTX-LE. Saturday, I never had any issue, other than a few more turns of the key to get it to start. Sunday morning (still -13 degrees out) it really struggled to start. I was patient, however...

    Studding a 137

    What is the best pattern/ number of studs and best brand/ type for studding a Viper 137? I tried a search, but was inundated and confused. I'm picking up a 2015 Viper LTX this weekend. Have never owned a Viper. What would you recommend and are there any templates out there? Thanks.

    Anyone use U haul to transport a sled?

    Looking to get a sled ( '15 Viper LTX) from lower MI to northeast WI (8 hr trip). Kind of a long trip to use my 4 place open face trailer. I especially dislike taking it any long distance empty because it bounces around a bit with no weight. Was wondering about renting a trailer. I see u...

    Belt deflection

    Just put the belt back on my '17 Sidewinder Ltx le and wondering if it's too tight. I have the barn of parts adjuster tool. I basically put it back on the same way it came off with the same number of turns. The secondary does creep a bit, but belt is only sitting a tad-not even 1/16 above...

    Oil change question

    I'm assuming an oil change should be done annually, regardless of how many miles put on a season. The reason I'm asking, however is because I got laid up unexpectedly last winter and didn't put on the mileage I normally do. I probably only put 600 miles on my '17 Ltx LE. The oil was...

    Grease Zerks

    Are the zerks on an '06 RTX removable? I have 2 in the far rear (ones in the middle of this piece) of the suspension that I cannot get any grease to go into. I took a paper clip to push in the plunger (or whatever the middle of the zerk is) to unclog (not the problem, however) it, but it...

    Power band and RPM

    Curious as to what the optimal RPM is on a sidewinder? Seems there's lots of variation in max RPMs here. There must be some actual noted power band. Hoping tuners can chime in on this with where they make peak performance.

    Speed Phone app

    For those of you that are using apps on your phone to record speed and max speed on your sled, which app are you using and why? I have one called Speedometer GPS. Unfortunately, it works well in the truck, but not on my sled. So, wondering if there's anything better out there? My phone...

    Warmest gloves

    I'm in search of the warmest gloves for riding. My fingertips freeze when riding in single digits temps, especially on my throttle hand. I have tried numerous brands and recently bought some Klim Powercross, which turned out to be disappointing (nice gloves, but my fingertips still freeze.)...

    More oil leaks

    Well, count me as another oil leak victim. Thanks (or maybe no thanks lol) to @jonlafon1 for pointing it out to me. Out of curiosity, he decided to look to see if if there was any oil on the outside of the case/tank and sure enough there was moisture. Took a rag and wiped up enough to see...

    Inside/ outside

    Ok. So, for those of us that are still running Tuners what carbide combination are you running? Also, which is on the inside and the outside ? I was told to try 6" and 4", but have everyone telling me different on which one to run where. One guy has the 6 on the outside and 4 inside. Guy...

    Break in/first service

    Finally got enough miles on for the first service. Being brand new first year model, am letting the dealer handle it. Would like to make sure everything that should get looked at is. Would like input as to what should be gone over. I already told them that I want the clutches checked...

    Greasing

    How many grease zerks are there on an LTX-LE? I am used to an apex and vector. Both of those have them in the front on spindles and by all the shocks. I didn't see any in the front of the sidewinder, nor by the front center shock. Found 2 by the center itself and 2 in the rear. Am I...

    '09 Vector brake light stuck on

    For some reason the brake light is stuck on. The brake lever is not stuck or engaged (at least not that I can see), though. Even when I push the lever forward it doesn't shut it off. I was hoping this was a common issue and could find step by step instructions on fixing this here, but a...

    Windshield care

    After attempting to carefully clean my brand new mid height windshield on my SideWinder, I'm wondering what the proper way is. I purposely used a soft cloth and the infamous Sham wow. For cleaner it was windex. Sure enough if it didn't scratch the dang thing! Waste of $100 on the upgrade. I...

    LTX-LE shock settings

    Haven't seen a thread yet on shock settings. The dealer set my LTX-LE on the middle setting on all of the shocks. Only have 14 miles of breaking trail. So, can't really judge set up yet. The one thing I did notice when I put it back in the garage is when I push down on the rear, it does...

    Error code 84 and fouled plug

    Ok, here's what happened. After fixing dash plastic and putting headlight pod back together, I went to start sled to make sure it ran. This was 1st time its been started since putting away for summer. It's always a pain in the arse with this '09 Vector. Always finicky in season too to...

    Sidewinder accessory list

    Its been quite a while since I purchased a new sled. Thought maybe it would be helpful to make a list of things that are must haves or just things you are ( or would be) getting for the Sidewinder. Not sure what actually is going to be made available, but this will be tentative. Feel free...
