A few years ago I picked up a 05 Rage. Completely rebuilt everything but the engine. Loved it but wanted a 4 cyl. Sold it and made a few bucks. Then bought a 03 Rx1 dirt cheap because it wouldn't start. Got it started about 5 minutes after getting it home. I did the same. Pretty much...

I read that the Yamaha gear is made by FXR. i recently bought a used set of “Yamaha Men’s Flotex Jkt” and matching bib pants. Not sure how old they are. I Iove the gear but the pants zippers are a bit beat up. I’d like a new set, maybe without OEM labels. The inside of the gear looks like...

I burnt thru a set of standard slides in about 500 miles. It's extended to 136 and has the low snow wheels. Track was set with the tension gauges to the loose side of the factory specs. To my surprise they are almost run thru. My 137 Doo has the Dupont slides and ran everywhere the RX1 was...

Hello all, I posted originally about buying and fixing up a 03 RX1. Well I spite of a miserable snow season I did manage a few rides On it. A few I was riding it and three rides with friends riding it. First I’ll say I’ve decided to keep it And put a little more work into it. The feedback...

I'm assuming that at some point over the last 20 years someone has actually taken a wideband and attempted to optimize the carb tuning of an RX1. I recently bought mine used with a whole pile of modifications, including an ECP. After playing with it for a while I determined that the silver CV...

First off, I was very surprised just how quick it was. My yard is covered in trenches. Never got to go very fast due to space. I didn't find the ride all that bad... so far. Steering is pretty heavy at slow speeds. But what I found most annoying was the low speed stumble/miss at 4.5k to 5k...

Hello all, I recently posted about picking up a 2003 Rx1 that needed some love. Well, she’s ready for the snow. I’m sure the suspension still needs some adjusting. I have some pictures of it. But they are too big to upload. I’ll need to resize them first. I’m on an iPad at the moment. I...

Crazy tail light on 03 RX1. thanks,

Easy question. Are they worth the effort on an RX1? thanks,

Last year to the day I bought an 05 Rage with a little over 5k miles on it. She was pretty beat up. Just about everything was replaced or upgraded. Most of the upgrades were typical to the sled and it's common issues. After getting rebuilding almost everything but the engine and getting the...

Hello all. As posted in a recent series of posts, I have a 2005 RS Rage that has been almost compeltely gone thru. Short of an engine rebuild. All bearings, seals replaced. Rear and front suspensions gone thru. Many replacement parts. Blue dot cam chain tensioner installed. New exhaust...

Found these in the belly, under the Voltage Rectifier/Regulator in of my 2005 RS Rage. I don't have a clue as to what they are and where they go. Everything appears to be tight and well secured. Thank you! Ed

First off thanks for reading my first post here. I did some searched and didn't find what I thought I needed. Also apologies for the long posts. I try to be accurate and thorough in my posts. That leads to a lot of words sometimes. Got out of sleds for over 40 years. Military and Civil...
