    2011 Yamaha vector gt rear shock

    Accelerated Technologies in Buckhorn Ontario are great people and are both an ELKA shock dealer and service center, but are great people to deal with

    Coil over shock

    I got my Elka from Accelerated Technologies (AT) and theirs come with all the spacers etc for a direct replacement. Also the Elka from AT does not have the external reservior so there are no contact issues. Although mine is for the 146, AT is a shock specialty shop and an Elka dealer so they can...

    Ski Wheels - Qualipieces Roller Ski vs Rouski

    I have had the Rollerskis for over 5 years now and except for a couple of self inflicted problems (hit a tree and damaged the pin that holds the spring in place, and overtightening the plastic spring cover and stripping the threads), I have had no issues with them and would highly recommend them...

    Upgraded fox shocks for apex & vectors

    Well I have the ELKA shock on my singleshot suspension and I also got mine from Accelerated Technologies. It works great and I do not have to worry about the sled becoming unusable because the air leaked out. It comes complete with everything needed to just install. I looked at the HyGear one...

    Scratchers for 12 XTX

    I use the ones from Yamaha (I think they call them TRIC) and attached them to the sway bar arm holes using a bolt and nut with a hole drilled in the bolt right behind the nut and have a spring clip in that hole. This setup allows me to remove or attach the scratchers in just about two minutes...

    darting

    Well I have the tuners on two machines and I have no issues with my set up. I use a square stock carbide on the inner keel and round stock no carbide on the outer keel. I have tried round stock carbide on the inner keel and it just does not work the same. Yes when the trails are very soft there...

    Stabilizer bar link mounted ice scratchers

    Well no picture possible for a week or two as I will be busy with family during the season. But as to whether or not to put on the inside or outside, honestly, I don't really pay any attention to that. As long as the shouldered side of the scratcher is against the link bar (so it doesn't move up...

    Stabilizer bar link mounted ice scratchers

    Well this is probably not what you are looking for, but I use mine on the link bar as well. However, I do not like them to be pulled up and retained when not in use as a I believe they lose some of their spring when held up under stress. So I just remove mine. I use a bolt with the nut hand...

    What's the best grease to use for extreme cold?

    Yep, but as you stated, the stuff you reference is synthetic which typically (but not always) performs under extreme (cold/hot) conditions better as the base oil used to make the grease is synthetic. There is no doubt that the use of synthetic oils can be a game changer when used in the proper...

    What's the best grease to use for extreme cold?

    Okay so without getting too technical, you likely want a grease with a NLGI # of 0 and a category rating of GB which has an operating temperature range of -40C to 120C. Not all greases list the category on the labeling, but almost all will list the NLGI #. see if this helps An NLGI # 0 grease...

    Dual keel tuners which carbides?

    I have tuners on both my sleds (Venture MP and RS Vector XTX) and I have had good success with the 6" square bar carbides on the inside and regular no carbide runners on the outside. However I typically only run groomed trails and this combo has worked the best for me. I get the carbide grip of...

    2022 Lineup

    Okay so I find it funny that in the 2022 release video where it talks about all the 'new' models, it isn't until the Japanese models (specifically the VK Pro II) that the word "quality" (Yamaha quality) is even mentioned.

    Ice Scratchers for 2015 Venture MP

    Oh yeah, one last thing, make sure you check the mounting post bolts after the first use because the post tends to work into the ski rib a little, but then settles down after a use or two.

    Ice Scratchers for 2015 Venture MP

    Yep, already got those Peavymart tynes and drilled the holes and tested them two years ago. Work like factory (which likely sourced from the same place). Don't have to use mine very often so I have not worm a set out yet, but I am sure it will happen. Enjoy the rest of your season.

    Ice Scratchers for 2015 Venture MP

    Well I do not have any pictures but they install easily. They come with a small square tube steel bracket (post) that mounts to the rib on the ski just behind the ski mount and then the actual scratcher simply slides over that post and a spring clip keeps them in place. The post stays mounted on...

    Ice Scratchers for 2015 Venture MP

    Well I have had these https://www.kimpex.com/en-ca/products/snowmobile/suspension/ice-scratchers/skrachrzz-reverse-ski-scratcher-plug-and-play on my 2015 Venture MP for four years now and the only issue I have had is losing the little cover that goes over the mounting post when the scratchers...

    Age old question. What motor oil, if any besides YamaLube Semi 0W-30, won't void warranty?

    Okay so the manual for both 2015 MP and 2016 Vector (and I assume many other manuals for many years and models) says the following "API service SG type or higher, JASO standard MA" so as long as the oil has the "SG" as the standard (which can be found on the the bottle in either the API wheel or...

    Rouski Wheels

    Actually, it is quite easy. I have them on a Vector and the Rollerski wheels have a peg on them so all you have to do is grab the ski loop and lift and at the same time with you foot on the peg, just push until the wheel rolls in under the ski. (harder to explain then to actually do)
