    2018 Sidewinder 50th Anniversary red

    It came as jacket and pants. The jacket is the red/white/black colour scheme with the 50th anniversary crest on the chest and arm. The pants were just black with Yamaha lettering on them. i don’t have a pic handy but will snap one next time I.m at my cottage.

    Barn Of Parts Oil Tank Gasket Anybody using it ?

    I installed It at the end of last season so I don’t have many miles on it yet. I will say that it seems much more robust than relying on the RTV sealant gasket. so Far so good.

    Barn of Parts Oil Tank Gasket

    My 2018 started seeping late last season. I had also done the roll over valve bypass when it was new. Ordered a gasket form Travis and installed it in the spring. It‘s nice and dry now.

    Throttle Needed on Start Up

    I only notice it's a little harder to start in the warmer weather (around freezing point). When it's colder no issues.

    Barn of Parts Driveshaft Saver....Bearing Lock

    Installed mine recently. Shaft and bearing in good shape with approx 3K miles. Torqued to 35 lbs with enough protruding to maintain wrench access, still had some play in the rotor. Last season of warranty for me so I’ll pull it apart in the spring and inspect.

    Forgot just what a blast these Winders are!

    Riding from the cottage is done for me (Pembroke, ON area). Short trailer ride for the next couple of weeks (I hope anyway).

    Reverse won't engage unless no resistance on drive line

    I have used the specified Yamaha lube.

    Reverse won't engage unless no resistance on drive line

    Tcat100, Thanks. That will be my next step. I only have time for 2-3 more outings this year, so if the actuator doesn't do it I'll make due without reverse and open it up once I am done for the year. That is if it doesn't fail first. I am hypersensitive to any vibrations right now...

    Reverse won't engage unless no resistance on drive line

    Circling back on this. Got my sled back and I can confirm it was not the gear position sensor. Got a grand total of two reverse engagements while the sled was cold and then it started throwing the sd-08 code again with no shift. From what I understand the most likely cause is going to be a bad...

    Who is running or has gone back to Tuner ski?

    They are working well for me with no darting. I run pretty much exclusively on packed and groomed trails. Running Studboy Shaper bars on inside and outside of each ski, 6" of carbide. I also have the skis shimmed.

    Reverse won't engage unless no resistance on drive line

    So I get a call from my dealer, they tell me it's ready to go and it was a faulty gear position sensor which I am guessing is that little sensor above where the actuator gear engages with the extension to the chaincase. This makes no sense to me given the symptoms I described earlier in the...

    Reverse won't engage unless no resistance on drive line

    Thanks guys. I'm pretty confident the actuator is on correctly. I actually took it off just twice just to be sure as part of my original attempt to fix. It's going to the dealer tomorrow as I am under warranty so if I have a bad actuator or a gear issue I want a new replacement. I'll report...

    Reverse won't engage unless no resistance on drive line

    I am running stock secondary and have not have it off the sled. I do have the BoP adjuster on my bench waiting for me to install. Went out to the shop this morning. I tried an old belt (33mm width), a new belt and no belt. The only way I could get a shift to reverse to work with the sled...

    Reverse won't engage unless no resistance on drive line

    It has been a couple 1000 km's now that you mention it and I did not check my belt when I was troubleshooting. I'll try that in the morning and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the suggestion, I should have thought of that.

    Reverse won't engage unless no resistance on drive line

    Out riding today and I am getting code sd-08 when I attempt to shift into reverse. When I got home put it in my shop and took a look. Took the actuator off, it is working fine as it rotates back and forth when engaging/disengaging reverse. Pulled out the extension gear and nothing obviously...

    Another Positive Report

    Finesy, great to hear you are enjoying the sleds. I have had ~1600 kms of trouble free riding so far. This is the best sled I have had. Huge power and great ride has me smiling in the helmet often. Big melt coming this week near where I ride (Pembroke area). Might need to load up the trailer...

    Yamaha saddle bags

    Thanks. That rivet is where I have the spools for my tunnel gear bag. I want to be able to run the saddle bags at the same time. When I test fit the saddle bags on my sled they seem to want the spool forward of that location to sit snug on the seat.

    Yamaha saddle bags

    I picked up a set and need to mount them. I am debating where to rivet in the spools on the tunnel. For those of you that have done this and are happy with your result, would you please post a pic. Thanks.
