    Lower a-arm ball joint

    Could someone please tell me what the thread pitch is of the lower a-arm ball joint nut? I want to order some special nuts but my a-arms aren’t here yet from the dealer and the microfiche doesn’t specify. I’m assuming either M10x1.25 or M12x1.25 Thanks in advance.

    Phazer jackshaft questions

    Have a few questions on the Phazer jack shafts. 1. On the chaincase side, are the splines for the gears the same as the Nytro/Apex? Knowing Yamaha I’m assuming they use the same gears. 2. On the clutch side splines, are they same as either the Nytro or Apex? Will either a Nytro or Apex...

    Need a measurement please

    Could someone with a Sidewinder Mountain please measure the clearance inbetween the top of the rear suspension front arm and the track? And I’m 99% sure all the Sidewinders use 7-tooth 3” pitch drivers but please let me know if you have something else. Thanks.

    Nyper build thread

    Many of you followed my “2012 AK Sled Build” in the Nytro Mountain forum. I decided to stop posting in that thread and start a fresh build thread here. As with my other build thread, I welcome all suggestions/critisism. I’m just a natural gas service tech with a drive to build a super...

    Apex drivetrain questions

    I have a few questions concerning Apex drivetrain if anyone can help. 1. On the Apex jackshaft, on the clutch side where the tapered bearing is, is the shaft smooth? It's hard to tell from pictures. Basically, I'm wondering if a normal bearing could be used and moved in 1" closer towards the...

    Anyone know of any American vendors that carry Dalton clutch products? I'm looking to get their red secondary spring, but just shipping from Dalton(in Canada) to Alaska is $30-40 for one spring. I tried the vendors listed on their website; Fett Brothers, Hi-Performance, and Hartman with no...

    Proper method for repairing crack in bulkhead.

    I bought the bulkhead sides used and I think one got banged on pretty hard while beating the rivet out. It cracked the aluminum by the chaincase. I drilled both ends of the crack but I'm looking for ideas on the best permanent fix. Leave it as is? Will it get worse with time? Try and...

    Titanium brake rotor?

    So 6Al-4V Ti. is supposedly twice as strong as 7075 aluminum. The factory brake rotor is about 5/32" thick. For you metallurgists out there, would 1/8" Ti work for a brake rotor? Could Ti. handle the heat without warping?

    Polaris caliper on Nytro

    Who would have thought a Dragon caliper would bolt to a Nytro caliper. Unfortanetly it's not any lighter.

    Lets talk Aluminum bolts

    Here's a link to the website Pro-Bolt USA and a direct link to their 7075 race bolts OPP Racing sells LighTech 7075 bolts and have a much larger selection of lengths available. From what I've been able to read online, LighTech makes a high quality product. Now, I would like to discuss where...

    The Arcitc Cat Float suspension thread

    ***If there is anything a forum member would like to add or have me edit in this first post please send me a PM*** With so many members currently using, or switching to 2008+ AC Float skids I think it'd be beneficial to have an official thread dedicated to just the Float suspension. -...

    Where can you find oem style electrical connectors and pins?

    The electrical section looks to be a little slow so I'm asking here. Does anyone know where you can buy Yamaha oem style electrical connectors, or even better yet just the pins for them? I searched the internet a few months back and couldn't find anything. Lost of pins that are close in...

    An observation of clutching threads

    I've been a member on TY now for quite a few years and have noticed the huge amount of clutching threads. Just my .02, but clutch kits are a complete waste of money if you have no idea how to tune your clutches. Do you know how different primary spring rates affect your clutching? Do you...

    Updated Timbersled front end

    A-arms are the same but now they come with billet spindles. They look even better in person. Been waiting over a month for them to get here but definitely worth it :bling Edit: what looks like a big scratch by the tie rod mount is just a dog hair, lol.

    Does shortening a muffle = any performance loss?

    I've been running a leoVince Ti. exhaust for a 1000GSXR the last couple seasons and it's worked great. I want to cut it down from about 20" to 14". I can't imagine shortening it 6" would have any performance loss since it's just a straight through muffler, but I'd like a couple more opinions...
