An old topic but a good one. On my son's 2007 FX, the reverse quit working. In the past you would hit the button on the guage pod, the light would turn yellow, then it would engage or I would have to lift the back end and drop it a couple of times for the reverse to engage. Now, I hit the...

Hey guys, I attempted to start my wife's 2007 Phazer GT this weekend. Needless to say, it did not start. It did make a great attempt to keep running but in the end it would not keep going. I tried to keep it going by feathering the throttle ( I know I should not have done this) and I'm...

I rode the sons FX this weekend and had a great time on it. However, the seat sucks as the only place I was hurting was my butt. Anyone come up with a solution? Halftag

Hey all, Both my 2007 FX & GT have had the fan update done on them. Since the update the GT's indicator light has not come on. However, the FX's light does come on once in a while. On Saturday, we rode all day then with about 10 miles to go, the FX's light came on. With my son riding the...

Let me get this straight Access the filter via airbox removal and remove the belly pan to drain oil from the filter?

Need to do the first oil change on the sons FX & the wifes GT. Is it possible to simply drop the belly pan to get to the filter? If so, what replacement fastners or plastic rivits should I have on hand to replace? Thanks, Halftag

Recall Notice Got my recall notice yesterday for replacing a spring clip with a cotter pin in the front suspension. The notice says it will take 40 minutes to do this. Seems a bit long to do this? It would be nice if Yamaha would consolidate any recalls they are considering to minimize the...

Hey all, I bought an FX for my son last year and just sold my wife's sled. Sheis interested in a left over Red GT. I found one for $5806 plus tax. Good price? Why is the FX & GT priced the same? The shock package on the FX should be enough to make the FX price higher. The cosmetic...

Repair pictures These are of the repaired sled. See previous post for before pictures.

Finally completed Well Yamaha put the front frame on the indefinite backorder status. So I worked out a deal with the dealer who fixed the front frame beautifully and did the rest of the parts change out. Very happy, can't asy enough for a dealer that will work with you and help out...

Backordered Parts Believe it or not I still don't have a fixed FX. The dealer is missing the shock and the front frame assembly. The shock was never backordered until last month and the front frame was back ordered until 5/15/07. The dealer was notified that both parts are backordered...

Red GT I'm looking for a red GT for my wife. Anyone have one or advice on how much this may cost?

What's left to close Well last Thursday we were in Forest County WI and were into our snowmobile trip 20 miles when my wife while driving the FX with 160 miles on it, ran it into a tree. The estimate is $2352.84 to fix it, thankfully I have a $250 deductable and the insurance company will pay...

Wife did the same thing to FX this past Weekend Lenny, Same parts and condition now exist on my sons FX with 160 miles on it thanks to my wife running it into a tree. The estimate is $2362.34. Wife is going to pay the deductable.

Short ride Took the FX for a rip around the yard yesterday. Closing the rear hole took care of the problem. The front hole had very little snow up by the header pipes. Next area to close will be the triangles on the rear bumper on either side of the side reflectors. I couldn't believe...

Project Photos I had anticipated closing off both tunnel holes yesterday and after much thought, I decided only to close the back one for now. Why?, I didn't feel like dropping the skid yesterday. To access the front hole from the top you need to remove the seat, gas tank, take apart the heat...

Exhaust Tempature After reading upbushman's post regarding exhaust tempature, I may just wait to close the front hole. We do mainly trail riding and it may be in our best interest to see how big a problem we have with just the rear tunnel closed. Maybe it would make sense to close the front...

Front Hole Thanks Yellowknife, That's the answer I was looking for. I will cover the front hole as well. I hope my 90 degree drill will work from the under side of the tunnel - may have to drop the suspension or remove the tank and exhaust. It seems to me that there is plenty of air...

Front hole too Anyone with a comment on closing the front hole? I'm leaning toward closing only the rear hole, but since I'm in there it would be a good time to close off the front one as well. Comments? Has covering only the rear hole solved all the tunnel icing problems? I am...

Here in Wisconsin the dry fall like, tundra like, fall like weather continues this weekend. As such, I find myself with time to do some mods. on the FX. Studs, tunnel protectors and closing the tunnel hole are on the agenda along with a few suspension adjusments. Should only the large rear...
