thanks for the input grader . i was leaning that way anyways. the sled has always run good until the last time i started it this fall. all of a sudden it does'nt like to run below 2000 rpm's. figured it must of got some gunk in 1 of the carbs so bought the carbtune sync tool and pulled the rack...

doin a carb clean and sync. on my 05 rx-1. service manual says the floats should be set 11-13mm or .43-.59in. from face that bowl sets on with carb turned upside down. mine are all 9mm or .36in. i'm sure they have never been apart so why the discrepency? is this maybe something they did to help...

Yup i put the ulmer bushings in this fall. 2000 hard miles and still tight. I would recommend these to any RX owner.

Yup used to have the same problem with my 05 shorty. Put a shut off in the carb coolant line and have never had a problem with it again.

Thanks for the input guys. I'll give her a good carb cleaning and see what happens.

Was on a long 3 day ride (610 mi.) and about 1/2 way thru my 05 rx-1 started idling faster. Since i've had it (3000 mi.) it has idled at 1650 rpm's. All of a sudden it changed to 2100 rpm's Then after it would idle for a while it would sometimes drop to 1850 rpm's. Also starts like its flooded...

Bruce Glad to here you like your 05 rx-1. I have one also. Its an 05ER shorty in candy red. I am running 196 studs in mine and it hooks up like a dragster. Have'nt had any of the sleds i run with jump me off the line. As for the track howl and the ride. As far as i'm concerned the mono...

I junked mine and went with a fast m-10. Best investment i ever made.

And when you put them back on use a generous dose of never seize on them and no more probs.

So the bushing must just fall out ? If that is so you are going to have to contact whomever you bought them from and work things out. I got mine from pioneer performance and there was nothing loose at all. In fact if you wanted to remove that bushing you would need a hammer and a punch. Same...

Mine are very tight. You need a pair of pliers to turn them. Something does'nt sound right.

I just put a set on mine also. The stock shocks had a washer on either side of the inside mount. I could not use the washers as the new olins were wider than the stocks. so i just mounted them without the washers. Fit right in there perfect , no shake to speak of. Mine have the remote resevior...

Definately. Put one on my 05 shorty last year and good bye heat problems. The only prob i would still have was carbs vapor locking when it was very warm riding (40 deg +). But a shut off to the carb cooling system fixed that. Easy fix and not a lot of cash. Be sure to do a good bleed job after...

Amen to all of this. I had the temp light comming on in marginal snow conditions. Put 1 of those little beauties on and never saw the light again. Inexpensive and relatively easy install.

Same thing happened to me last weekend. Used the spanner wrench to back the rod out of the housing then tied the housing to the rear arm with my sons emergency pull cord. Got 60 miles back to our rig. Pulled the skid to fix the rod problem and found the front arm was trashed, broken through in...

I have an 05 rx-1 shorty. I absolutely love the sled. But just had a problem with the mono. the transfer rod broke completely away from the front arm. Fortunately i was able to disconnect it on the trail and limp back home. Thanks to this site i was aware of problems with this skid. So i had...

I have an 05 shorty. 192 studs,slp wear pads and a rear heat exchanger. No clutch or engine mods-yet.Had the sled on a lake 2 weeks ago. There was about 4" of packed powder on the ice and the temp was right around zero degrees. Ran several runs 117 on speedo 10'400 on tach. Then my son tried it...

Kelly Blue Book has that sled listed at $6865 retail and $4745 trade in. I bought an 05 candy shorty ER last march for $7000. It was studded with woody carbides a spare belt and plugs. the sled had 1200 mi. on it. The $6865 is the starting price a dealer would ask. I would think somewhere...

I talked to my local dealer about the wasted spacers and bushings in my 05 shorty. They said there was an upgrade kit. Supposedly it is comprised of steel spacers to replace the aluminum that is stock and a higher grade of plastic on the bushings that replace the old ones. It is my understanding...

Yeah i here ya mike i'm in springfield vt. and the riding so far this year has been trash. Bought an 05 candy shorty last spring and have put 60 miles on it. This sucks. Headed to west forks me. for 5 days the first week in feb. though. Hopefully theres some decent riding up there. The sled was...
