Several members of the forum are aware of my problems I have had with the header I originally chose to go with. This season after getting less than 500 miles on the header, I finally bought a second one. After replacing the bellows on the original header I had 4 times it has become pretty...
So I changed out my winder clutch for an apex clutch. Put it all together, added 4g of weight, transferred over my TP orange spring and bolted it all together. After assembling the whole setup and running the sled I noticed I had about a 500 rpm higher engagement and seemed to be under revving...
This happened on the railbed running back south after a weekend up in the Munising area (worst trails I have ever ridden on in my life this weekend). We were cruising at 90-95 from Crystal Falls to Watersmeet and when we stopped just outside Watersmeet to wait for the viper in our group, I...
My sled started over boosting this weekend. It was kind of acting like there was absolutely no WG, by half throttle it was making 12PSI of boost on ecotrail. At full throttle (with 100 octane gas) I was mostly seeing ~18.4PSI occasionally alternating to the correct boost of 13.8 and back...
This year I added an under hood WAI and was looking at the hood and stock intake ducting. I am thinking about just running without the ducting to use that vent in the hood as an exhaust for hot air to escape the engine bay.
Can anybody think of any cons to doing this? It seems to me to be a...
I have seen guys adding the Yamaha tether to their machines and ultimately really like the idea of a tether on a 280HP sled with 192 studs in the track in the event of an accident but really don't want to plug in 2 or more things every time I get back on the machine after the rest of my group...
Just a heads up on another thing to keep an eye out for. Last year, my sled took a pounding (entirely my fault) and now has ~75% of the rivets in the tunnel loose, but more importantly, the 4 structural rivets holding the rear suspension brackets onto the tunnel were so loose I could not only...
My driveshaft bearing has spun, I am trying to find a shop in the area here to weld it back up and make the shaft right but have so far struck out. Anyone have any suggestions for who to reach out to?
After wearing the stock gear to the point the chain case came out of gear within 1500 miles on my sled I swapped over to the DMC top gear. Both the factory top gear and the DMC gear were set to 1.5 turns out on the tensioner and both were driven about the same way. After 2000 more hard miles...
Has anyone tried this yet? There is a station around the cabin where I could get E85 for the sled. If the closed loop works the way I think it should (add fuel until lambda = 1) and you have enough overhead in your fuel pump/injectors everything should run correct right?
I would think the...
Does anyone know if the Rip II is available with 2-play, 1.5in lug and the run quiet bumps? I can't find anything that calls the run quiet bumps out specifically.
This weekend my yamaha 4th wheel kit came loose taking the right hand side track tensioner and center axle out with it. I was able to jury rig a fix to limp the sled home but need to replace pretty much the entire right hand side of the assembly. I am thinking about just going to the JT wheel...
Finally got my 2018 out for a full weekend and had my first (mostly) trouble free trip thanks to some (ok, maybe more than just some) help from Mr. Sled rebuilding it. Previously I had coolant leaks, continuously blown belts and studs breaking off which all killed trips. The biggest issue all...
I have blown 2 belts in the 500 miles I have had the sled. When I bought it, I set offset to 58 or 59mm, I don't remember which. Now after the 500 miles and 2 belts I am measuring a 64.2mm offset, after removing the circlip I am only at 63mm offset. Checking with a mirror the bolts behind the...
I got up north to fix clutches/studs only to find out that the woody's rep was wrong on the length of stud that I have (He thought I had 1.575" studs, turns out I have 1.450" studs). Odds are I am not going to be able to get replacements in time for a 5 day trip next week, although I will try...
Finally got to put some real miles on my winder, the idiot who installed the studs (I bought the sled used) didn't tighten any of them down and I am an idiot for not checking.... Long story short I lost 20 studs in 500 miles.
Can anyone tell what model stud these are so I can replace the...
After having my sled out last weekend I noticed I was only making 15.5 PSI of boost on a TD max spool 16 tune. I would like to run a quick leak test tonight when I get up north again. Does anyone know the charge tube ID so I can buy fittings to put together a leak tester today?
Finally got the sidewinder out for the first time this year yesterday. Western UP has snow but it is very early conditions.
However, within the first 50 miles or so, my new linq bag broke. I had maybe 5-10ibs of stuff in the bag and the plastic base snapped at the 4 mount points.
Does...
