    Help, looking at 09 Venture GT

    that is same motor as your nitro but tuned less agressively. that is a pre eps sled. brother had same sled with eps. set up they handle the trail well but are not agressively clutched as it is a comfort touring sled. not a top speed sled at all but will hit 90mph 2 up in right conditions...

    Apex Chaincase

    well on the 11, i had it come loose and the retaining snap ring stopped it from wearing all the way through the cover.

    torsion springs

    i usually only remove the long end as it is almost impossible to get enough leverage for short end. make sure the spring tension adjuster is on the lowest setting. i then either muscle the long end into the holder by hand or if i am feeling lazy, i use a prying device/bar. i then use a...

    How far will they go ?

    the 11 that is black is most likely a 12 model year. i almost bout a 12 xtx when i bought my 11 but $ talks and the 11 was cheaper by a good amount at the time. other than colours, 11-18 are all the same sled. there is a 13 on swap and buy near me getting parted out and i was thinking on...

    Single keel ski's for 2016 RS XTX?

    12mm or 13mm was the upgrade from stock. with the larger one, it doesn't want to body roll as much.

    Single keel ski's for 2016 RS XTX?

    as robx-1 and stubbs said, the ski rubber needs to stay with the spindle it came from. if the 2010 still has stock sway bar, that would probably be the difference. the 2013 and 2016 both use the same sway bar and i know when they added the eps, they upped the sway bar to 11.75mm vs the 10mm...

    Single keel ski's for 2016 RS XTX?

    i loved the tuners on a hard packed trail when i helped brake in agman's 18 apex xtx back in 18. when i got my 16 xtx in 2019, one pass across a meadow with no crust, i could not steer anything sharp or sudden. threw on my favorite single keel ski for my area and had no trouble since...

    my 11 is sitting with around 39000 km on it atm in my yard. my 16 is in garage atm (headlamp bulb failure) with 13000 km on it. i would not be sacred of them. at those milages, the a arm bushings will have been done and the exh dontuts at least once. around the 33000 km point, i had to re...

    Single keel ski's for 2016 RS XTX?

    yup, those are 2nd gen plastic yamaha skis. just from your picture, it needs the shim as the ski tips are lower than the spindle bolt. i tend to use a chunk of mud flap (where it secures to the truck) under the rear of the ski rubber on mine. when the tips are up, it tracks better in the...
