    Klim made in China?

    Oh I know it.. Seems wrong to charge what they do being that their product is probably made in a sweatshop, if Klim were paying prevailing wages here, I can justify the price-tag, being made in China it should cost a lot less IMO. My wife’s says “it’s the way to the world, have to get over...

    Klim made in China?

    I really like my old Arctic Cat gear, the quality is great, it’s just too heavy and hot. Figured I’d upgrade to something more breathable and something that isn’t plastered with Arctic Cat.

    Klim made in China?

    Todays rant! I have been riding with the same gear for years so I decided it’s time to treat myself to all new, also justified being that I purchased a 3rd machine so I figure it’s good to have some extra gear. About a week ago I ordered Klim Keewenaw jacket and bib, along with boots, socks...

    RX1 skid help

    Thank you fellas, I’ll certainly check it out. This morning I reordered the parts that were wrong. I had the stock shocks revalved and rebuilt by Bruce at B-Line Control, should be here by Friday so I’ll have a few parts to throw at it. That’ll likely be all that I’m doing this season other...

    RX1 skid help

    Yes, the rear section of the seat does have a bump up. The tunnel has a build date of 5/04. Going based off of what I know about Yamaha outboards, anything before 1/2 year mark would made it current year, anything past is considered next calendar year. So a 5/04 would be an 04, and 7/04 would...

    RX1 skid help

    I honestly don’t know what it is, but it looks like the skid shown in the parts diagram. I’m quite surprised it was changed from original, doesn’t seem to have ever been taken apart... must have been done a long time ago

    RX1 skid help

    I have a 2004 RX1 that I recently purchased and it seems I may have a 2005 skid in it according to the blown up Yamaha parts diagram. I already ordered bogie wheels and hyrax sliders for the 04, along with some misc. hardware, part numbers are different from year to year so I’m guessing the...

    Well here goes

    I have done most of what was mentioned here, thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I’ll definitely take you up on help with suspension setup after rebuild. I do have C&A skis, should I still shim them? Also there is what looks like a shock that runs parallel to the track, is...

    Well here goes

    Not sure if I should start a new thread or keep asking questions here, seems there is a place for RX questions but it seems like there is more action on the “general discussion” for the time being, I can tell you guys are like minded, thinking about snowmobiling when it’s 80 degrees outside. I...

    Well here goes

    I’ll definitely let you guys know, I’m sending shocks to him tomorrow morning. Super nice guy, we spoke for a while. He worked for Yamaha and multiple other race teams, sounds like he really knows his shi..uff and stands behind his work. I’ve been looking for a suspension guy for snowmobiles...

    Well here goes

    I did purchase the OEM oil and filter kit, been reading a bit on the site and see that guys use reg auto store synthetic gear oil for chaincase. I ordered new 8dn belt as well. I just pulled the shocks out to have revalved, apparently I do have aluminum adjustable rear shock so it is...

    Have you guys seen the new 2018 Castle X?

    That looks like fun! I’ll be going to Grass Drags in Fremont NH in a couple weeks, which is a really good time. I have family in Syracuse so I wouldn’t mind checking that out if I can make the time. Thank s!

    Have you guys seen the new 2018 Castle X?

    What is “The Big East Show” all about? Is it worth a 6 hour drive (each way) to check out?

    Well here goes

    Just spoke with Bruce from B-Line, what a great guy to talk to and man does he know his stuff. What an asset to this great sport!! Thank you for the referral. I have a little bit of homework to do, I have to find a rear shock that is rebuildable to move forward with this part of my service...
