    What would be needed to make a set of stock Apex skis fit on an older Phazer or Exciter?

    Looking at Nytro RTX. Anything to watch for??

    Stumbled across what appears to be a good deal on an 08 RTX. Owner says the front end is straight and the mileage is right around 4000. Is there anything else to be on the lookout for or just minor annoyances like I've had with my Apex (handwarmers, exhaust donuts, idlers)? Thanks in advance!

    Apex out west?

    I know a few guys have taken their Apexes out west and I know I'm probably going to hear an earful for even pondering such an idea, but is it even worth my time? A group of guys are going out to the Big Horns at the end of February and as much as I would like to go I fear it may not be...

    Skinz Trail Series Handguards

    Has anyone used Skinz trail series handguards on their Apex? I went with a bit lower windshield and now find myself with hands that are vulnerable to wind on extremely cold days. Any feedback would be appreciated, as well as a place to buy them at a good price.

    Mobil 1 Filter Part #

    Anyone know the part # for a Mobil 1 filter for the Apex/Attak? Checker Auto has a deal going, 5 quarts of Mobil 1 synthetic and a filter for $19.94 after $15 rebate. That's a cheap oil change! Only bad thing is they don't carry 0w-30, only 5w-30 and 0w-20.

    Yikes! Part prices

    I just went into the local Yamaha dealer to pick up a plastic windshield screw and metal plate holding part of the guage pod together (part # 5PW-2177L-00-00). I walked out of the dealership with $7.69 less in my pocket. Is it me, or does it seem like robbery when they charge $2.57 for a 2...

    Transfer rod tightening

    I adjusted the transfer for the first time last weekend on my Apex and the jam nut was extremely tight. I put the supplied wrench on and had to hit it with a hammer to loosen the nut. When I tightened it back up I lightly hammered the wrench in order to snug it up. Is this the correct...

    Backup Beeper?

    Spent the day working on my sled in the heated garage and went to back it out and noticed the beeper was not working. The sled was engaging into reverse, but no beeper. I got it out of the garage and tried the reverse again and it would hesitantly beep once or twice real quietly and then quit...

    Squeeky steering?

    On my trip a couple weekends ago I noticed towards the end of the 500 mile trip that when turning at speed I could hear my steering making a squeeking noise. Where do I add grease/WD-40 to cure the annoying sound? Obviously I will fill the zerks throughout the sled, but I don't think that is...

    jwifferdill's Apex ER

    Nothing too fancy, but it's mine! Slydog trail skis with Shaper Bars, chrome windshield, CR10EK plugs, 23 top gear, 13mm sway bar, updated handlebars. Hasn't given me one lick of trouble in the 1000 miles that I have owned it.

    Shim my Slydogs?

    Currently my stock skis are shimmed to eliminate darting, but before I do any riding I will be swapping them out for my Slydogs. My question is do I want to shim the Slydogs (I've heard you put the shim in the front of the bumper)? Does the darting reappear if I leave the shims off? Looking...

    Same gear?

    Do the Apex and RX models use the same top sprockets? Found a 23 top for an RX1 but need to make sure it will fit my Apex. Looking at the fiche it looks like part numbers on certain RX1s match that of the Apex, but some are different numbers as well.

    Tabs for rear storage compartment

    I ended up breaking the tabs off of the storage compartment in the seat of my Apex and now whenever I open that area the assembly falls apart and I have to fiddle with it to make it lock up properly. My brother works at a Yamaha outboard dealership and he looked on his fiche and couldn't find...

    Same Swaybar?

    Do the 05 RX1 and Apex/Attak use the same swaybar? Thinking of going to a 12 or 13mm on my Apex.

    Slydog ski review?

    Considering picking up a set of Slydog trail skis for my Apex and want to hear some feedback on them. I had C&As on my SRX and thought they were a good ski, but have also heard some great things about the Slydogs. Want to stay away from the Simmons, as I don't want hard steering. Are the...

    Apex ER vs RTX bar riser

    Wondering if the Apex ER and RTX use the same handlebar riser, or if the RTX is slightly taller? Thanks!

    Clock

    Might be a dumb question, but how do I set the clock on my Apex? Mine is about 25 minutes fast, and I don't know how to adjust it.

    Minnesota to get it again

    Calling for up to 20 inches in parts of the state by Friday. This just after we got dumped on last weekend. Might make my commute north a little hectic tomorrow, but once I get there it will be well worth it. Supposed to get up close to 40 by middle of next week, so gotta ride this weekend...

    Snow in northern MN?

    Getting it in the Twin Cities as I type this, but wondering if there is significant snow anywhere in the northern part of the state? I'm itching to ride, and there is no snow where I store my sled, and figure I'll have to trailer to ride!
