    Awesome service, and products!

    I just wanted to take a minute to post about my experience with Roc. I ordered Yamaheaters for my Attak and after install realized I had a problem with a grip. Roc walked me through some tests and sure enough, it was a bad grip. I got that replaced and then had a bunch of questions. Those that...

    Heated grip warmer/element needed ASAP

    Does anyone have a lead on where I can locate a left grip heater element? I installed my Yamahaeater and found the left grip bad. No resistance. Reads open. [emoji30] I have trip coming up on Thursday so really hoping I can source one by Wednesday. Preferably I’d just buy the new grip too...

    First impressions of my Attak on the trail

    So I finally got out on my Attak the last couple of days and got to see how all my hard work paid off. For those that don’t know the history here it is. Light at the end of the (sled) tunnel - Attak Overhaul...

    Stupid mice!

    Never had a problem before but my time ran out. In my enclosed V nose inline I was getting organized today and heard mice squeaking. Looked around and found the nest up in the V nose at the bottom. They are trapped in there as far as I can tell and couldn’t get up and over the wiring panel...

    Howling at idle - uh oh

    So many of you may recall the extensive work I did to the 2007 Attak I bought in July. I went through this thing with a fine tooth comb. So I'm a bit concerned I missed something. Here's the story... Yesterday, I finished up the work I was doing on my son's Polaris, so since his sled doesn't...

    My last project - secondary clutch servicing

    I'm on my last (can't believe I just wrote that!) project for my Attak, and this I consider general maintenance. LOL. Anyway, I want to service the secondary, as I have no idea when it was last touched, if at all. The belt sits low in the sheaves (about 2-2.5mm below top), so clutch sheaves...

    Light at the end of the (sled) tunnel - Attak Overhaul

    So I'm not sure if this is the place to post this, but after 3 months of working on my new to me 07 Attak, I am finally at the end of the road and it's almost time to call the freshening up a wrap, and put it in the trailer until the snow flies. I had to do a lot more than I expected, as I found...

    Mono damping and spring preload adjustments

    I've done a ton of reading on how to do this, and why, as I have never adjusted my own rear suspension before, but since the previous owner had everything maxed out, I need to dial it back. I know I can't get it fine tuned until I can ride, but I at least want to get the mono damping and spring...

    Apex/Attak Hood Wrap

    Real simple upgrade, but I think it came out good. When I bought my sled, I was void of all decals. Previous owner took them all off. Normally I don't mind some being removed, but it was looking pretty bland. And there were a couple of spots where the finish was dull. Maybe something spilled on...

    Tunnel extension cover like the Mountain, for the Apex LTX/Attak?

    I would like to put a rubber cover on the tunnel top that extends behind my seat to the bumper. The Mountain has the one I show below on them, but I was wondering if anyone is aware of something to use on a 136 Apex/Attak? Mine is a little scratched up, but I use it a lot as a shelf when working...

    Tips on replacing bent belly pan

    After searching and reading what I could, I didn't come away with much on the best way to go about replacing the belly pan on an 07 Apex/Attak. The back edge of mine is bent (some may recall where I was looking for a solution), so I will be replacing the belly pan, and then using the metal...

    Really confused trying to confirm proper skid bolt torque

    So I learned a long time ago that tightening until you can't tighten anymore can get you into a lot of trouble (snapped bolts). When working with nuts and bolts, where a broken bolt or ruined threads could be a nightmare, my torque wrenches are my best friend. They are properly calibrated, and I...

    Light pod, windshield or steering alignment issue?

    Sun is up. That means another thread from me. Sorry! I need to become a life member, as I'm getting every pennies worth as just a VIP member. :D Anyway, I put my higher windshield on last night. Looks great. But the first thing I immediately noticed is it's allowing me to see an alignment issue...

    Radiator vs Rear Heat Exchanger on 136" Attak

    Hopefully you guys don't mind another thread from me. :D So now that I'm in the home stretch with some of the sled projects on my Attak, I'm giving a second thought on installing the rear heat exchanger, since I haven't added antifreeze yet, so I wouldn't have to drain again... Anyway, I read...

    Secondary/jackshaft bearing greasing and washer install order

    This is for an 07 Attak. I took my secondary clutch off today to grease the jackshaft bearing. I replaced the driveshaft bearing completely. Good thing too, it was in rough shape. Anyway, on the jackshaft, I'm not convinced the previous owner had it all on there correctly. I looked at the parts...

    Cargo options and ideas for 07 Attak/Apex

    Now that I am finally in the home stretch in getting my new to me sled ready for the season, I'm moving on to some of the easier topics like cargo options. I used to use saddlebags on my Viper and they worked very well. But the saddlebag options for the Apex/Attaks seems to all have straps...

    4 stroke for 16 year old

    I am at the point where I want to move my boys over to 4 strokes from their 2 strokes, starting with my older son who is still riding a Polaris 550 fan. He will be 16 next month and is driving. He's a good sledder but sometimes I wish he'd not love the rush of the throttle. He's not crazy but I...

    steveg_nh - 07 Attak Heat Exhanger Replacement/Removal

    I figured I would start a new clean thread on my project to replace both the left and right heat exchangers under the running boards on my 07 Attak. They both have stress cracks where they bolt through to the skid support on the tunnel. First I bought used ones to replace my bad ones so I will...

    Recommendations on installing tunnel reinforcement/protectors

    Hi All, I will be replacing two cracked heat exchangers under the footrests, and in an effort to stiffen things up to hopefully avoid this from happening again, I bought he Yamaha tunnel reinforcement kit. SMA-8HG58-MT-00. These things are massive and thick. Very strong, much more so than I...

    Yet another wheel bearing thread :)

    I pulled the skid out of my 2007 Attak to first make sure all bearings were replaceable, and to read the bearing model right off of them. I went through the whole skid (see pic below) and have the bearing I need, but I'm thinking I can consolidate on a few here. I read a bunch online, and I...
