    One side of track keeps coming loose.

    So apparently finding JIS bolts/nuts(fine Thread/small head) is a futile quest where I live :) and a standard M10-1.25 is too big to fit the tack window :)(17mm head vs 14mm head). Loctite it is until I can find some.

    One side of track keeps coming loose.

    Yeah and I think that's my problem the center tube I think should be around 111mm and it's about 110.5 The shim tightened things up and it seems ok so far. I'm also replacing the tensionner nut later today (assuming I find one) or double nutting it. The nylon in it is pretty worn out. Thanks...

    One side of track keeps coming loose.

    Agreed and yes it it the tensionner that is working itself loose not the axle bolt. It's only the right side (passenger side in a car). When I found it loose it was unthreaded compared to the other side. I re-tentionned and aligned it and that side came loose again. Last night I added a...

    One side of track keeps coming loose.

    Reading old posts I'm thinking that tiny bit of wear is the reason. I'm making a shim right now to take up the slop in that spacer. I checked and all other pieces (washers spacers etc) all seem in the right order.

    One side of track keeps coming loose.

    I drove some.kids around for couple hours yesterday and noticed one of my rear idler wheels was spinning free and no longer putting tension on the track. Today I loosened the axle nut and retensionned the track, aligned it and torque the axle back together and went for a ride. I didn't but...

    Kimpex SeatJack Foot Rest??

    I know this is an older post but I'm going to bump it. I have the same issue using the Seat jack with my 8 year old. My solution was to rob one of my motorcycles from it's passenger footpegs. They clamp onto the tube of the seat jack and I have them stick out straight forward. They are a tad...

    Where to Mount Ice Scratchers

    My own two cents I like mine mounted to my ski's rather then my tunnel. Barn of Parts makes some cool brackets to mount onto the skis.

    Yamaha RS Venture 2008 - Bogie Idler wheel bearing replacement

    I would not use brake cleaner as it will wear out the seals. Use WD40 as your cleaner of choice. Then repack the wheel with Grease.

    Ripsaw 1.250 vs 1”

    I'm guessing On a hardpacked trail the less lug you have the more traction you will have. The more contact area you have the more friction, the more traction you get. On somewhat loose material then more lug gives you more traction as it digs in and gets the snow under you to compress...

    SC-10 II 136” Skid in 2003 RX1 (121”)

    I put an SC10-II on my 96 Grand Touring Ski doo. The center to center measurement IMO is the same as the SC10 - 1 that was on it before. Or if you google it I bet you'll find some of my posts on the topic. I did not have a donor sled, the guy who sold me the skid quicky measured it for me...

    Will we need a Yamaha 2-stroke page on TY?

    Yamaha needs to bring back the new RZ350 concept 2 stroke motor and put it in a super light machine... Aka bring back the phazer. The actual good phazer not what they currently call the phazer.
