    2005 RX-1 ER (Mono Shock) Rear Suspension repair/swap

    I did 2.5 I think...it was the absolute max with stock cables.

    2005 RX-1 ER (Mono Shock) Rear Suspension repair/swap

    I ran a rox pivot riser to get the bars a head a bit to match the seat.

    2005 RX-1 ER (Mono Shock) Rear Suspension repair/swap

    Any of the 121 mono's should bolt right up.

    2005 RX-1 ER (Mono Shock) Rear Suspension repair/swap

    The mono, aside from being a bit fragile, is an excellent skid....WAY nicer than the pro-action. I've had an 05,06, and now an 11. The 11 with the mega float seems to be the best combo. I did prefer the 05/06 because I had an adjustable Ohlins on both BUT I never got either shock valved/sprung...

    2005 RX-1 ER (Mono Shock) Rear Suspension repair/swap

    When my 05 arm broke (in 06/07) I replaced it with the most current arm at the time which was slightly more beefy. I then reinforced the new arm as best as I could. I think the current arm now is MUCH better than what I could buy in 07 so could likely just leave it stock. The cable is very easy...

    2021 Release?

    The RX1 motor was a PWC motor before it was in the sled....it was obviously based on the early R1 motor but it was the MR1 before it got to the sled. The phazer 500 motor in the Blast chassis would be fantastic...but I think the big Y's commitment to the sled biz is waning.

    Where to Buy Copper Donuts

    I searched but don't see a vendor for donuts...other than ebay. I got my first set from Crewcheif (Sledtoyz) but I that website is gone I see. Do I go to ebay or is there a Canadian selling this stuff still? Thx

    Driving a Ford you'd think you wouldn't be so opposed to riding a Procross...... :)

    Rumour or Fake News?

    Like a Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix? (same chassis with a Yamaha motor) Suzuki Sidekick/GMC Tracker Ford Ranger/Mazda B2200 Subaru BRZ/Hyundai Genesis MANY examples of car companies doing this. We used to sell Mercury 225hp 4-stroke outboards that came in a Yamaha crate. Exact motor painted...

    Rumour or Fake News?

    I don't think vipers are in the same zip code as an Apex in terms of speed. I don't think that can be debated....slower chassis with way less power. The PC chassis rides WAY better though...also not really debatable. Now, guys work on chain case improvements rather than rear skid and exhaust...

    Waverunners Anyone??

    For that price range you'll get a nice used 1800 NA...pick a clean one that's not salty. You can't go wrong with any of them really... For info GreenHulk.net is pretty good.

    Amsnow real world shootout

    Strange they used the 850 Backcountry and not a TNT or whatever one has a normal track/gearing combo. There's no question the 1" track is going to hurt the SRX down low but once you get rolling that thing is GONE...

    Apex "Y" Pipe Repair Advice

    You really need to work on getting a pipe ID that's closer to the factory OD. You're using good quality parts but it's so much work to make them barely fit it's leaves a bad taste given the cost of the kit. It's a ton of work to test to see if they leak and if they do the sled has to come apart...

    Bearing behind secondary

    Was the outer bearing race still in there or was everything gone? It looks like the circlip groove is worn right through at the front too. If you can get the circlip groove fixed up enough to hold the clip and the bearing still fits tightly into the bulkhead I'd run it and hope for the best...

    Bearing behind secondary

    Just had a similar situation on my 06. The bearing let go and the shaft pulled ahead eating up the outer race and slightly into the carrier but not enough to hurt anything. The carrier is actually part of the rear bulkhead which you probably want to avoid changing unless absolutely necessary...

    Apex "Y" Pipe Repair Advice

    I wasn't part of the install...but..the pipes were leaking on the header side (staining the head with exhaust) and the pipes were loose fitting. Better/stronger stainless band clamps were used that tightened up the gap but my assumption is the loose fitment means the cut out "voids" are still...

    Apex "Y" Pipe Repair Advice

    They don't fit real well...had to sell my spare set of y-pipes and header pipes to my buddy because the FX kit would not seal up enough to stop backfiring. Great idea...but... Exhaust cement or something maybe but it's a very expensive kit and really should just work.

    2006 YAMAHA APEX ISSUES

    There's a check valve in the oil pump. I've had issues from time to time on either oil changes or after I've had the engine out with repriming because the valve is shut and there's not enough negative pressure to open the valve. Putting the right ski on a block helps and as mentioned above 500ml...
