    Need advice - blown head gasket

    I would take a compression tester hose and put compressed shop air in each cylinder and rotate the engine watching for air bubbles in the antifreeze coming out of the cooling system cap. If you find bubbles from a certain cylinder you now have proof of a problem. Look closely at the specific...

    Aux lighting

    Both shine further and light up a bigger area. The high beams are really lousy on my 2016 Apex. The low beams are good. It is strange that the high beams are better on my 2006 Apex compared to my 2016. Exact same bulbs and reflectors. I figured maybe it has something to do with how the bulb is...

    Yamaha replaces 2017 APEX rear shock

    There is a difference between the 129” skid and the 146” in how the shock mounts. The part number for the shock on both skids is the same. The difference is the 129” skid shares bogie wheels mounted on the same shaft that the lower bolt of the shock uses. This is a problem because the coil...

    Trouble Idling When Cold

    Same story for myself. Should have adjusted the valves at 15k miles in hindsight.
