I'm putting a greasable bearing on the brake side of my driveshaft, both sides, and a new seal on the chaincase. I have it disassembled but I can't figure out how to get the bearing in the caliper to move on the shaft. I've had the rotor off in the past but had to split the caliper to do that...

My sled seems like it's only half shifting into reverse. It makes a grinding noise and it's related to the rev. It doesn't do it every time but has done it a couple of times in the last couple of shifts. I'm handy, and I suspect the shifter fork pads, the reverse actuator has been changes...

I've seen on here that guys have drilled the rivets that hold the belly pans on both sides out and replaced them with removable ones. Can anyone tell me what you used? Where to get them, and have they stood up to the abuse? If it helps, I'm in Cacnada but I guess I could order online.

I have a 2014 XF7000 and absolutely love the sled. I can't see buying the same sled a few years newer when I have mine working so well! I've seen where some people have updated their Vipers to newer style body panels. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about the Cats and is it possible...

I searched last night, but couldn't find the thread that shows pics of some of the swingarms that guys here have added gussets. I plan on welding mine up, but gussets are obviously in order! Directions to the appropriate thread would be a great help, thanks.

Unfortunately Dad kissed a tree with his Venture. Alignment is way out. A-arms on one side appear to be shoved back at least an inch. Where should I look? Is there a subframe on these that's replaceable? I'll be fixing it, just trying to research before I start digging. On the bright side...

So, I'm thinking about changing my track to a 1.6 Ice Cobra. The last time I repacked the drive axle bearing I had to split my caliper to get at it. The back half of the caliper is seized on the axle at the bearing. Does anyone have a trick to get the bearing to move on the axle? I don't care...

Any tips to get this seal out without removing the back half of the case? I'm afraid to mark up the inside of the case. And what's the best way to reinstall the new one?

Of course I'm going on a trip Sunday... I rode the other day and I was getting a real squeak when turning the bars. Initially I thought it was just the bushings on the top if the post but it doesn't seem to be. I pulled the boot off the side and the nut on the bottom is tight. Any suggestions...

I'm bleeding the brakes tomorrow and I've done searches to no avail. Anyone able to give me instructions on how to? Thanks, Kevin.

I'm trying to repack the bearing. I have the track loose, the three bolts out of the back side of the tunnel but I don't seem to be able to get the caliper and rotor to slide off the shaft. Is there a trick I'm missing? I tried to sand off the burrs on the shaft and it looks ok but can't get it...

I've been having trouble with my reverse for the last couple of rides. The short story, I ended up buying a new one for $320 Canadian and threw it on tonight. Not working! I've been through the actuator threads and they seem to be focused on the gear being ground. Not my issue. You can feel the...

I was out riding this weekend and whenever I got onto a lake and opened it up, I was on the rev limiter. I couldn't get over 75 mph. There was maybe 4" of snow, but it's old snow and wasn't real fluffy. So is this all I get? I figure it should do more. What can I try first, spring in the...

I just topped up the fluid and put too much in. Am I safe to run it or should I try to suck some out?

Does anyone know if there's a way to mod the chaincase for filling and draining? I have tried to search it to no avail. Thanks, Kevin.

So I was in the last 50km of a trip and my reverse stopped working. I've seen the videos about re-clocking the actuator, but mine doesn't sound like it's even trying to shift. Any suggestions? Is there a fuse?

Still finding my way around this new to me sled and having only riding it a handful of times, I'm a little suspicious of the heated seat. I' not completely sure that it' getting power. Is there an easy way to prove it? Does it have it' own fuse? If so, where? Thanks, Kevin.

I've searched on the site and can' find a lot of info. I need to pull the fuel tank to replace some tunnel rivets. What needs to come off to get at it? Thanks very much!

So, I was approached by a cross-country ski club the other day about grooming their trail. They have a drag made for it and would like me to pull it with my sled. The question is, am I going to burn my drive belt pulling this rig? I'm not allowed to go faster than 15km/h. (9miles/hr). I don't...

So I bought a Sandale Trail can for my XF. Sounds great! My question is, can I run it on a stock sled, or will I need to clutch it? I'm not a speed freak so I'm not too concerned about top end. I know mine has Cat clutches but I was wondering if I'll be hitting the rev limiter all the time...
