    4stroke solutions tether bypass

    4 stroke solutions got back to me within hours of emailing this same request....wow! I wasn't expecting a reply until after xmass. In case anyone else comes looking for the same info: disconnect the leads from the switch and connect the Orange wire to the Blue wire with a jumper wire. Sent...

    Headlight assembly help!

    I replaced my headlight the first time I broke the tabs. Promptly broke them on the new headlight. I've been zip tieing for 5 years, 4000kms.

    Shocks stuck?

    I've had this happen and have fixed by having the shock re-built. I seem to need to do this every 3000kms (or two years).

    2.5" track? on 09 apex mtx

    I did the same thing on an '06. Very tight at the front intercooler (about a 1/4" if I remember correctly). Very noticeable improvement in all conditions. I'm sure it would do even better with more clearance (drop and roll or extended chain case). I did nothing to the gearing or clutching...

    MPI timing removal vs. Head shim

    Give it some thought! I'd be in. This would payout in 1/2 season for me by eliminating the race gas I blend (8psi super apex @ 6500ft). I guess mods for the old iron isn't worth the development time.

    Looking at buying....

    I've fouled plugs before. Every time has been due to me shutting off the sled before it's had a chance to warm up, especially when outside temps are below -15c. If you let it warm up before shutting off, then no problem. I have never pulled my plugs, never looked at them. 8000kms with...

    RX-1 Running Board Exchangers on Apex?

    So I got a run up the mtns with this set-up and no problems. I don't have a temperature gauge, I'll add one this spring, but it didn't seem to run any hotter. Other than on the trail up which was solid ice, scratchers did little until 4-5km up the trail where it softened up. I can live with...

    RX-1 Running Board Exchangers on Apex?

    Just wondering if anyone has run RX-1 mtn running board heat exchangers on an Apex mtn? I've been thinking about doing this for a while. I just had a heat exchanger crack right where the stock tunnel extension makes up to the tunnel. Seems like a good time to do this mod if I'm going to do...

    how high can i go

    I went 5" but had to re-route the throttle cable a bit and the housing did eventually split. No issue with the brake line, it's got plenty of extra length. This was on an '06 mtn.

    boost gauge question

    I've got a tee off of the boost sense line going to my GEMS box. That way I see what the box is seeing (before of the throttle bodies).

    Mpi install on apex, Few questions

    Yup, just a vent. I ran a line into an "overflow bottle". I prefer the overflow bottle so I can see what has overflowed and how much. Some run it into chassi tubing by drilling small holes, if I remember right. Just make sure the vent line ends below your tank or you could loose charger oil...

    Apex Supercharger belt life

    Thanks guys, I think I had the belt tension right. I'll triple check as I install the next one. Ya, I didn't know the belt tension was adjustable on the small belt either, good to know. I'm putting on about 1200kms a season so I guess I should change out the large belt every season. What...

    Apex Supercharger belt life

    I was trail riding with my kids so was just idling along but the throttle seemed soft and I looked down and no boost - my boost gauge does freeze up now and then. Also heard a whine. I stopped and popped the right side shroud and the belt was there and everything looked good. Turned the...

    Apex Supercharger belt life

    I just blew my first belt (the belt down by the oil tank connecting crank to charger). It went @ 1400kms. Just wondering if that is normal? How many kms are guys getting out of the this belt and the small inner belt? Thanks, Shawn
