    Gold finger garbage or not?

    I didn' care for the Gold Finger much. I found the lever action to be twitchy. The lever is not large enough to get smooth action from it. I like the Lefty's Sidehiller. Large lever, easier to work when in the technical stuff.

    Teather Switch

    I would stay away from the push on cap style of switch. Like the ones ski-doo uses. They have a tendency of falling off on there own when they get wet or a little worn. I like the clip style a lot better. They will not come undone unlees you really pull on them . Pro-design lanyard kill switch...

    Phazer MTX as a Crossover??

    I am running the Simmons Fins. They make quite a difference for a pretty basic idea. This year we have had good snow but the past to have been bad. I have never seen my temp light come on. I also know what I have for a sled and do make every attemp to get extra snow into my track when ridding...

    Phazer MTX as a Crossover??

    I have an Apen MTN and live in NH. Yamaha have a calabration program for Mtn sleds to get them set for what ever elavation you want. Yamaha covers the parts, you pay for insulation or do it your self. As far as handleing goes, that is a matter of oppinion. It is not going to be a ditch...

    Where to find take off suspension parts?

    I have a right side complete setup. It is red. The left side is not too pretty. Not a piece on it straight enough to make a pretzle.If interested PM me.

    Anyone done any welding to their apexes?

    I am speeking with first hand expierence. I broke the a-arm mount on the bulk head. I welded a piece back in. I used 1/2 pate to replace the piece that was missing. It was a decent project to get everything lined up. It can be done, but you want a shop with a good rep. Cast aluminum is a pain...

    Where to get small bogie wheels??

    Not postive on the size of these wheels but if you know someone with an 04 Viper have them measure the wheels on the top of the front suspension arm for the rear suspenion. I notice them the last time I was messing around with someones sled, but forgot to messure them. If I see the sled again I...

    Complete Newbie Perspective

    In general I have found it easier to side hill with out the sway bar out. It lets the skis work independent of each other makes the sled a lot more predictable. If you set your front suspenion on the soft side, you won't be fighting it when you are trying to pull the sled level. The only...

    Has anyone used the ODYSSEY battery in their sled?

    I have always had great luck with those battery's in Gold Wings that run a lot of accesories. No expierence with them in cold weather. They are a quality product

    Sidehilling

    If you are doing a lot of side hilling, take out your sway bar so that the skis will work indepently. Expierment a lot with where you place your feet on the running boards. You might also want to back off your springs on you front shaocks, again to let the skis work better. Being...

    Broken front suspension

    I just did this to my apex. Broke the pivot right off and lost the piece. I was able to fab up a piece and weld it bak together. It is not the easiest thing to do but it was still easier than replacing the bulk head. Good Luck.

    New Hyfax on 06 Mtn SE

    When i did mine i didn't cut any windows in my track. I just twisted the hyfax a little sideways and pulled it through. WD-40 is a must with the length of these hyfaxes. Cheap slide hammer and some vise grips are woth there wieght if gold in they decide to be stubborn. Some will come off...

    apex mtn. hyperfax

    Running Yamaha graphite hyfaxes with Simmons cooling fins. 1500 miles very little wear. Mainly have been trail ridding, not quite enough to get snow to get off trail yet. Most Yamaha sleds that i have delt with seem to eat hyfaxs to about the 5/8 to 3/4 worn mark pretty quick. Then they last...

    Looking for new front end

    I would rather put and aftermarket front end on. I am not looking to make it wider. Lighter is the only thing I am looking at.

    hifax issues

    I just replace my stock sliders after 1,000 miles of mainly trail ridding. Only one of them really needed to be replaced becuase it melted after a 5 mile ride across a lake with no snow. For what ever reason the other one didn't melt. It looked to be half worn. Even the sleds with 1" tracks...
