Ya it happened to my 2015 xtx. No oil on the dipstick after storage but no evidence of a leak so I took a chance and started it. No oil light came on so I shut it down and oil level was back to normal.

It’s most likely the oil is all in the engine. It happened to me a couple of times after summer storage. Don’t know why.

The Tundra will definitely go more places and break new trail with ease. Where It doesn’t do well is on the return trip when you are trying to run the the same single track. lf you try to go a bit faster on that single track in deep powder you will experience what I call the death wobble. The...

My 2021 went 6k without issue then I noticed a rusty dust developing by the brake rotor. Took it apart and the bearing had spun with evidence of a groove on the brake rotor collar . The shaft looked decent so I measured and found .006 of clearance. Talked to the Dealer and he ordered a new...

Buy the Yamaha ones. You will get another 7k out of them and they will fit properly.

I only run 0w40 in my sled. You never know when it’s -35 and it’s gotta start! Rode with a viper 2 years ago and it was -37. It also pushed oil out the filter gasket then re-sealed once warmed up.

If your driveshaft bearing is worn or the shaft is worn it may cause this

Hi Mark I live in Kapuskasing and have the same sled. My rider weight is similar. I run the Stryke ski with stock carbides. Front shocks 2 turns from loose and shock set on 2. Rear suspension front shock set at 3/4” threads left and limiter stock setting. Rear springs cam on 3 and shock on 2...

I would say just drive it for now and get some miles on her. Keep an eye on your belt wear.

The fit difference between 06 and 11 is significant, I remember getting some by mistake and i don’t think you would ever be able to make them fit. If sanding them a bit is working keep going, the tighter they fit over the pipe the less chance of a leak or vibration. I also am a high mile rider...

I would never use the copper donuts. The factory donuts will last 5000kms. Just change them every oil change. I have owned 3 apex sleds and put a combined 100,000 plus kilometres on them. Always changed the donuts on the earlier models like yours every 5k. Exup models are good for 10k or more...

I found this

Sorry it’s on the Yamaha Canada website. Look down at the bottom left of the Snowmobile accessories page. The service manual is available here but I think you need to be a lifetime member and then request a copy from a moderator. Just go to the Apex General forum and click on FAQ’s at the top...

The owners manual is available on the Yamaha App for free.

Yes a new belt should be above about 1/16”. Maybe different with that roller set up, clutch might be easier to open with rollers and just the belt tension in causing it to open.

So the primary was pulling the belt down in the secondary?

How did you set up the secondary, was it the primary causing that problem also?

It is normal, you should here it at -39, sounds like a diesel. Yes you need a good battery for very cold starts.

I mentioned that the preloading my be weak but he still needs to eliminate other possibilities first. The spring is strong enough to close the secondary with no belt and when test running the secondary operates properly just not returning the belt to the top. So the next step is to try a new...
