Yup. I broke 2 in gust over 5000 miles. First break was with stock rear shock and cat dual rate spring. Also found shock shaft bent and cross shaft cracked and ready to fail. Second broke while running bill's spring and a hygear revalve. Bill claims im the only one to break that arm or bend the...

you cant be serious State law in maine is no modified exhaust of ANY kind. any exhaust has to have the oem scc stamp on it. They are absolutely allowed to do a visual inspection. obviously they cant force you to open it, but If you dont open the panel the sled is gonna get dragged out of the...

They wont be separating themselves from cat unless cat throws them out the door. In the big scheme of things snowmobiles are not a big sales or profit item for yamaha. Having cat build them saves yamaha a shitton in overhead. i would be willing to bet yamaha made more money last year selling...

Nope. Its there. Enlarge the pic

Are you talking about helo? If so, i had one and honestly noticed nothing different with the sled suspension. Not anything to be afraid of, but make sure you get the suspension parts it replaced just in case you ever need them.

The 900t has no clutch alignment issues that i am aware of. Or even heard of. I think you are thinking of the 850 I own a 900t and it has the coolest running clutching i have ever seen.

I have to disagree on this. With the exception of the apex feeling outdated. Regardless, it is still a great sled for sitdown style riding. I dont know your mechanical abilities but fixing what you listed is effortless for me. I have an 06 apex. I have actually done All my repairs myself...

Yup i agree. I dont want the winder guys thinking i am bashing the sled because i am not. I think the sidewinder is an incredible sled and a performance monster. but it still has some major weak points to be worked out. The chaincase needs some work for more reliability, oh and a drain!!! That...

High mileage sleds tend to have loose rivets. Look it over real good and try to turn rivets with your fingers. If they turn then they need to be replaced. If you can find rivet issues in multiple areas its a good price lowering issue. They are simple to replace but a seller wants to sell and...

I dont need one, but i like it!! I think if you rounded those sharp corners it would be a little more visually appealing, but i understand that more machining means higher costs. good job!

It was a used hurricane kit. I blew the chra about 600 miles into the season. It burned about 400 miles after i replaced the chra. I wont post here what i think happened. If you are curious pm me. Now im gonna have like 300 pm's. Lol Call me crazy but i am actually considering selling my...

So far i am real happy with the 900t. The electronic throttle is a little funky at first but i am used to it now. I have a buddy with the same sled and he hates the throttle. He thinks its dangerous in sport mode and will not change it out of std mode. I flipped the throttle around and plan to...

I did not have 1 major problem. I had multiple problems over the entire time i owned the sled. Honestly the sled was the biggest disappointment and money pit i have ever been involved with. While i loved the ergos and the seating position pretty much everything else was an issue. coolant Hoses...

quote Lol. Been a yamaha guy since 2002. Bought a 900t xrs this year that was a demo model so other guys broke it in and beat it before i got anywhere near it. I Put 1400 miles on this season and had none of the issues you mentioned. In fact i had only 1 issue and its not an issue as much...

Someone should be taking this guy up on his offer

Yes it was the inlet line. It was disconnected before the banjo. I only tested it at idle and it seemed kinda weak to me. I would have expected it to be spraying out pretty goodgood, but it was more of a slow stream. I tried blocking it with my finger and could feel it begin to build pressure. i...

been there, done that unfortunately That thing is junk.

when my turbo failed I tried it to be sure i had oil getting to the turbo. I disconnected the line at the inlet to the turbo. The oil that comes out (at least on mine) was relatively slow and seemed kind of low pressure. It can be controlled into a cup. Then again maybe thats why mine failed to...

are you the original owner or did you buy this sled used?
