Has anyone installed a quick disconnect? If so how did you do it? These batteries are hard to get at and I would like to be able to shut battery off when I am not using it.

Recently, the last 6 months, my RS is slowly draining the battery. about .2v per day. This was never an issue in the past something has changed. Anyone know where I should start? Relay? Hopefully not a stator issue:(

Sled was running fine a month ago. I normally fire them up every six weeks in the off season. Went out tonight and nothing not even a click. Put the battery charger on and it wouldn't begin to charge. Put booster pack jump starter and it would immediately go into fault mode. Could the battey...

I found a simple fix to pretty much eliminate the loose steering on these machines. Last summer I replaced every bushing in the front end and much to my dismay it did little to nothing to fix that play between the handle bars and the skiis. Replace the found thin bushings in the ski spindle...

Between my wife and I we have a ton of emergency supplies on our sleds. Rather than pulling everything out on the side of a cold trail I took a picture and mapped the location of the supplies. My friends laughed at me and my OCD but honestly it is a life hack. I have had to utilize several...

I have been using a Garmin Map 78s with the Ontario Snowmobile trail maps for years. Even thought I have it mounted on the bars right in front of me I find that the screen is too small and with the zoom level it can be difficult to determine where you are particularly at speed. I purchased a...

Just about to order some rollerskiis for my 10 rs. How can I be sure they are oem factory original skiis. Can't seem to find anything. They do say Canada on them. Wondering if they might be kimpex.

I have a 2010 ltx. The grip heat is very inconsistent. It works gets really hot some days and others you can barely feel it. I know, or have heard, that when the brake is applied it momentarily turns off the heated grips. If this is in fact true I wonder if I should replace the brake switch in...

Has anyone installed these wheels? I have read the reviews and they appear to be junk. That said I have dual carbides and no studs. I often find myself stuck. Especially in an icy parking lots.

2010 RS, I replaced all bushings in the front but I still have rotational slop of about five degrees either direction. I have been reading about loose steering and how people replace the steering blocks but I fail to see how this corrects a rotational error. I assume the slop must be in the...

I am servicing my 2010 LTX and noticed wear on the round piece of metal above the front mounting bolt. The wear is on the right hand side only and the LH shows no wear at all. Is this common? Is there perhaps a slider missing or is my track too tight?

Earlier this winter I found oil under my sled in my trailer. Pulled off plate and found that I could get another 1/4 turn on filter. This cured the problem at the time. Yesterday I changed the oil and replaced filter and it has a small leak ,drip, again. I know that I did not leave the old...

Last weekend it was very cold -20 c. My grips were hot and then for a while they seemed very weak. A little later in the ride they seemed to pick up again and were very warm . Not sure if this is typical I was under the impression they fixed the 2010. We were riding slow technical trails is it...

last season, I consistently achieved 16/100km. I track distance with GPS and record all data; fuel consumption and distance. I rebuilt my Seconday Clutch, polished helix, new ramp glides, new spring and new spacer shims. Cleaned and polished the Primary. This season I am getting 14.15/100...

I have been riding a 2010 RS LTX for the last two years and love it. I love the ride and the pull. I'm not much of a top end guy. I like to get on it occasionally when the trail permits it but I ride conservatively now. I just love the hard pull of this machine. I let my wife try it out this...

Does anyone know where this is located? Wife and I are going to try Sudbury this year and I would love to try this.

In Ontario we have a website shows which trails are open: red , green and yellow status. Is there a similar thing in QC? I have found ac website that shows snow levels in the area and color codes the trails but nothing about status about availability.

The clutches in my 2010 rs vector ltx are getting noisy (not the standard diesel sound). I decided to pull them apart and rebuild them. I ordered all of the parts, from my Yamaha dealer, for the secondary. I then noticed that Royal had a rebuild kit for the drive clutch. Has anyone ever tried...

I am in the process of rebuilding the secondary clutch. Sled runs mint but I figured I needed a project until boating season starts. I did find the offset was wrong all of the washers were on the outside and it measured 13mm. I rectified it and set it to 15. The current set up. Was 6 in the...

I pulled apart my secondary today. Plan to rebuild it. It is very dirty and I was thinking about sand blasting the outside. I know that blasting can relieve stress and cause things to warp. Has anyone done this on the secondary sheaths? Is there a better way to make them look nice.
