    2022 Warranty Issues

    I posted this in the SnoScoot forum, which doesn't get much traffic. Re-posting here anyways seeing as it is more a general Yamaha issue. Mods, apologies if I shouldn't have done it this way. I went to start our brand new 2022 Snoscoot ES (picked up in early December from Hauck Powersports in...

    Warranty issues on 2022 ScoScoot

    I went to start our brand new 2022 Snoscoot ES (picked up in early December from Hauck Powersports in Rice Lake, WI and only has 6 hours) last weekend and it would not start. Lots of cranking and it wouldn't so much as cough, regardless of the choke. I eventually got it going and took it into...

    Exhaust valve adjustment walkthrough

    After last season's issues with hard cold starts, stumbling off idle, and occasionally dying when coming off throttle on my wife's 06 Attak, I'm going to check the valves (exhaust mainly) to make sure they aren't too tight. From everything I've read and what several said on my troubleshooting...

    06 Attak Throttle Blade Adjustment

    How do you set the throttle blade stop screw on the linkage between the throttle bodies? Details to follow: I've got an ongoing thread about my rough idling 06 Attak and that I'm trying to smooth out, but I suspect that I screwed things up when I adjusted the stop screw between throttle body 2...

    06 Attak idle issues

    My wife's stock 06 Attak has always had a bit of a low idle and would occasionally shut off at a stop. It would need a little blip of the throttle to get it to catch and off we'd go, occasionally needing to repeat this. Ran like a top otherwise. I thought the idle stop was a little too far...

    Studs on my Apex

    My wife rides an Attak which has been studded and my 08 Apex 40th LTX just can't make it through the same stuff, especially in the late season when the south facing slopes turn to ice. She's waited at the top of several hills while I try repeatedly to get up them and just laughs in the...

    Attak rear end feels light

    We finally got both the sleds out today and it was my wife's first time on her 06 Attak. She loved it but complained that the back end felt a little squirelly, like it wanted to fishtail out in corners. The suspension is all in the stock setup as far as I can tell. I out 65lbs in the fox...

    Kimpex hitches on Apex

    I can't seem to get my hands on an actual Yamaha hitch for either my 06 Attak or 08 GT LTX 40th. I'd love to find the double tube bumper one but no luck so far. Ice fishing season is quickly approaching and now that I've sold my last Ski-Doo grand touring, I'm without a hitch. Has anybody...

    SRX manual available?

    I just got home from picking up a 2018 SRX120 50th Anniversary Edition off the showroom floor. The wife ok'd it but only if it matched my 40th Anniversary or her Attak, so luckily I found this. Can't wait to let my daughter get on it this fall and my son to inherit the Kitty Kat. Is there a...

    Hood bag availability

    Are hood bags available for the Apex anywhere? My wife's new Attak came with saddlebags, windshield bag, and the hood bag and I'd like to match the sleds up. Found the matching saddlebags on eBay for $45, and I see windshield bags on there, but I can't find anything about the hood bag. Were...

    06 Attak vs 08 Apex LTX GT

    We just picked my wife up a new sled, an 06 Attack with about 8k on the odometer. New hyfax, studded track, scratchers, Trail Tech water temp sensor, Seat Jack, new belt, hood/winsdshield/saddlebags, and cover for $2500. Exhaust has already been redone with copper donuts. My question is...

    Older models with Apex-like stance

    Yesterday's ride was the final straw: my wife is done with her 02 Doo Grand Touring 700. She loved riding my 08 Apex LTX Anniversary now that it has a lighter engagement spring. After a spin on a couple of newer Doos in the group (900 and 1200, both with the 3 mode electronic throttle) she...

    Can't get headlight pod off

    This is my first time inside my Apex, and I'm stuck at the headlight pod. The 10mm bolts on the side aren't in the picture as the mounting tabs are broken, but I stall cant get this thing off! I understand it should pull straight out and I see the 2 rectangular tabs that it slides onto, but I...

    Apex throttle response...tune it down a bit?

    08 Apex LTX GT 40th I know, I know, why have an Apex if you want to slow it down a bit. I haven't had a chance to ride it much yet but it is a serious jump from my late 90's touring sleds I've had for the last decade. I'm struggling to get used to the throttle response and how feel like it is...

    08 Apex LTX GT storage

    My new-to-me 40th Apex LTX GT has a seat jack on it and I'm trying to figure out some extra storage. I know there is the Skinz YTP100-BK, which appears to sit down below the exhaust. I haven't had much luck finding anything beyond that...are there any other options out there?

    Wiring heated grips for Seat Jack

    I'd like to add heated grips to my Seat Jack's handles. I'm looking at something like these: http://www.bigbikeparts.com/templates/product.aspx?ProductGuid=17-960&GroupGuid=16 These are the handles on it, so they should work fine...

    LIT-12618-RX-02 For 40th Apex GT

    I think I've just about exhausted my leads on finding this manual, but I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction. I have an 08 Apex GT LTX 40th Anniversary Edition and want to find the service manual, which is listed as LIT-12618-RX-02. This is also the manual for the 08 Apex MTX...

    New guy here, manuals for VIP?

    Greetings, and thanks in advance for the wealth of knowledge this site already is. I just bought an 08 Apex GT LTX 40th edition with 3400 miles on it from a friend. From what I gather so far I need to be watching the exhaust donuts and learn how to do an oil change if I don't want to spring...
