    2016 Yamaha RS Venture TF BAT - Clean Snow Challenge MTU

    Mooseman, That's a great thought. As of right now, we are going to test a phazer skid (144) along with a 10" aluminum idler wheels to take up the track slack. This will hopefully eliminate some skid noise as well as improve mpg. I will post pictures once we have the offset axle machined and...

    2016 Yamaha RS Venture TF BAT - Clean Snow Challenge MTU

    We run the Dupont slides which I recomend regardless. However, in low snow conditions, there will be excessive wear on the slides. I currently have about a thousand miles on one set of hyfax that are still adequate for probably another thousand. Which is really good seeing how I can barely get...

    2016 Yamaha RS Venture TF BAT - Clean Snow Challenge MTU

    We also run a catalytic converter as well as custom resonators. The stock muffler is utilized with an additional box that fits nicely on the rear bumper to direct the exhaust downwards. We have validated that routing the exhaust downward reduces the exhaust noise a little bit.

    2016 Yamaha RS Venture TF BAT - Clean Snow Challenge MTU

    Track porting shown below. Basically it reduces the "pillow" that develops at the front of the tunnel. As the track spins it is trying to compress the air at the front of the tunnel. Creating unwanted resistance as well as drone. Non-essential meaning removing all of them besides the front...

    2016 Yamaha RS Venture TF BAT - Clean Snow Challenge MTU

    Yamadoo, One of the best ways to help eliminate the track howl is to run a track that is ported. The main advantage of the porting is the reduction in the pressure difference between the track and the tunnel. In addition to the track porting, we have removed all skid wheels that are...

    Top End Rebuild

    So my 2007 mtx is just about to turn 10,000 miles. These have been some hard miles in the making not going to lie! I plan to do a compression test after the season is over, but I have been doing some searching and haven't found anywhere for advice about what should be replaced and where I'd find...

    Coolant-Temp Display

    I know that it is possible to view the coolant temperature within the diagnostics mode display. I'm just curious if there is a way to keep that information actively displayed while having the tach and speedo displayed. I'm wondering if anyone has tampered with the gauge/ecu?

    Gauge-ECU Flash

    Is it possible to flash the phazer to display temps, oil pressure? If so has anyone done it? Is there a flash for the ecu out there like there is for the nytro? My 07 mtx is about to turn 10000 miles with no engine work btw.

    is there any 151 track that will fit with only cutting

    The skid in the phazer won't need to be widened at all to accommodate the track? Just need to cut the track to width?
