    First decent ride, BOP gasket looks good.

    Old apex runs the same, year after year, and was checking for oil seepage from the tank on my 18 winder, with Travis' gasket solution...looks great. I think this is the best fix. I even used blue loctite and 6lbs. torque on the screws. Not like me...I usually wing it!

    8000 miles. This sucks.

    08 anniversary vector. Riding slow and boom. A friends sled. Wrecked the starter too.

    Any tips to removing 2008 Vector engine?

    My friend heard a loud knocking, and that's all she wrote...hole in the block behind the starter. He has an 07 nytro he might take the motor from, to put in the 08 delta box chassis....any tips would be welcome. Neither one of us has done this.

    OP low message for a few seconds at every startup?

    2011 apex, 5000 miles, runs fine but OIL pressure low at every start. I'm not familiar with this. Any thoughts? It was roled and lost the prime, but has been running fine since. Thanks.

    2519 miles on original belt finally blew.

    Cruising at 60 on a nice seasonal road, then wot flying past 90 per and wham!!! Almost no belt dust, the remains look great, but it ripped in half. Cool!! I was just thinking to myself how long this will last as my daughter blew a belt on this same road years ago, on a doo legend. Also, hit on...

    What is this found in the bellypan?

    Doing a little looking for a very minor coolant drip (coming from the plug in the thermostat housing) I found this stuff in the pan. The thing that looks like a flashlight lens was under the front part, below all the wiring. If someone at Cat is missing their flashlight lens, I have it! Unless...

    Shootout!

    Found this rummaging through my old sled magazines (some back to 73!). 1995 Old Forge shootout. If you could go back in time with a sidewinder, you'd be worshipped as a 'god' (little g) LOL!

    Another reverse actuator question

    So, just figured I'd check chain tension and how to put oil in the chaincase, since I had it serviced at 500 and time for me to do the stuff. The actuator was under pressure, once the bolts were out. I marked everything. The manual says after making sure the insert is engaged correctly, ROTATE...

    137 sw procross center shock spring change

    So my friend and I have heavier springs for the center shock, so fooling around with it the other day, it looks like just drop the limiter straps, unbolt the top shock eye bolt, loosen the spring adjuster nuts, the spring comes loose (no need for a spring compressor), drop the shock down, front...

    Removing summer dust. Sidewinder is next!

    Best line was from my son in law. 'Farmers. June 11, 2018. We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two'.

    Need the ALPHA suspension asap!

    Self explanatory. The other track was downhill from the SWT Skandic, which got stuck 6 times on the rescue mission. Think I should try the apex???? LOL!!!

    Finally broke it!

    The original titanium header that is. Why the right side cylinder? This is the third donut replacement, 06 rtx, but twice this was the worst one and now the only flange broken. Need a right side y now. Read all the comments on the repair flange, but rather put a good one on. Left side looks...
