    2009 Nytro Limiter Strap Thoughts

    Had limiter strap break (bottom from rubbing on track in the usual spot). I replaced with conveyor belting as suggested her and I notice some wear after 300 miles. I do not have the plastic spacers so I plan to make some to hold the strap in the middle of the track cog. My question for the...

    2013 Nytro XTX

    09 Nytro XTX. Absolutely love this machine. It is great for guys 230+ pounds and taller. Dr. Feelgood nailed all the "issues" I did also add a manual power steering (MPS) last year and it did make a huge difference in steering effort. Steering effort is the only complaint but that is fixed...

    Mechanical Power Steering for Nytro - MPS

    Purchased MPS for my Nytro XTX. It is bit pricey for what it is but it work! We road 200 miles in Baldwin in all kinds of snow conditions and I absolutely love it. I did all the shims and relocation and limiter strap suggestions previously. I seriously think this one mod will take care of the...

    Idler Wobble

    I bought new rear idler wheels a couple of years ago from Yamaha and after installing I noticed what appeared to be wheel wobble. It ended up being the plastic grey covers were not perfectly centered on the wheel and when rotated they looked to be wobbling.

    Track Skip

    track tension is probably too loose. Look things over like suggested above. I would also add you want no more than 3 inches of slack in the track at the widest section between track and hyfax.

    Vector engine noise

    Question; what can we do as 4 stroke owners do to protect engine from loss of engine oil instantly? This seems like an avoidable catastrophic failure if there is some safeguard we can install; Maybe oil pressure sensor or something. When riding it will be impossible to smell or see oil leak...

    What kind of protection plate is this and what hardware is needed to install it?

    Buy Moutain Tech skid plate. Very good quality and easy to install. Hit a stump with the plastic and you will wish you had the aluminum Moutain Tech!

    Upper and Lower A arm removal

    just finished mine tonight. I pulled the plastic. Only takes about 30 minutes to get the plastic pulled and gives you 100 % access; take the top a arm off first and the entire plastic will pull out of the way and reverse the install. Put the lower in first to reinstall and then the top a arm...

    Moving tail light

    I put a generic tunnel rack and ran the wire in wire protector along the inside of the new rack and attached the light to the reflector holes. I did run electrical tape around the outer parameter of the tail light to keep snowfrom behind the light

    Stub Shaft Installation

    New shaft arrived tonight. Looking for any advice on how to install it. 1. Do the shaft splines need to be greased? I do not plan to use any bearing sealer. Do I need to grease the seal or any special handling for the large seal? 2. Do I need to align the space in the gear teeth? I...

    Primary Clutch Stub Shaft Question

    Great suggestion. I will pull the clutch next week to give more visibility. These are the things I want to know to look for. Thanks Caneohead. I have a clutch puller from a 1990 Exciter that looks like it will match my clutch. 18mm 1.5 threads. It would be great if it works! I'd rather...

    Primary Clutch Stub Shaft Question

    The sparks were when I rev it up the engine and now there are no sparks. I was trying to understand if the sparks were from the clutch sitting all summer or from the stub bearing. I have started and ran it up to 30 MPH on lift several times and there is no more sparks. I am not sure if it was...
