    2012 Vector Speedo not working

    If the bearing is good. Sorry just had to say it. Maybe you got a second bad sensor. The codes all indicate bad sensor. Click the throttle a bit to break the TORS loose then I would do another sensor.

    vector model history

    I had a06 rage and a 12 Vector LTX 17,000 trouble free miles on the Vector. I would say avoid the later models with the Fox air shocks in the skid. If that goes flat on trail you are walking

    speedometer says 0

    I had the same thing as what catman says on a brand new 2012 Vector. Same codes. It would still go if you feathered the throttle down but if you let right off you had to come to a complete stop and start again. It was kinda dangerous on some fast trails in Michigan when you let right off in a...

    What would you look for

    Well, over 300 clicks on facebook and a hundred on Kijiji. Yesterday a local guy messaged that he wanted a look at it. He shows up and looked it over really well. Wanted a replacement for his wifes 06 vector with 23,000 miles. Very knowledgeable on Yamaha sleds. He looked at all the right...

    Thanks, I don't really sell stuff so new to it. It's on kijiji now too. No rush other than it is taking up space.

    What would you look for

    I think the donuts may need replacing now. A couple years (2000 miles) ago I could still make the engine stall by blocking exhaust outlets with a couple rags. Now it just almost quits so there must be a leak. I thinks the suspension is ok. I had the shocks out to rebuild 2 years ago and haven't...

    gear fill location 06nytro

    Yes, through the dipstick hole. It's a pain to get at. I ended up taking a little plastic funnel and trimming it until it fit around the hoses and such. It is now my specific gear oil filler funnel. had the sled 10 years and change the gear oil every season just like engine oil. Having the oil...

    2012 Vector LTX with 17,000 miles, 29,000 km No blemishes to speak of. Decent looking track studded with one stud pulled out. Regular maintenance, oil and filter every year, chain case oil every year, greased regularly. Boggie wheel bearings changed when needed. Drive shaft bearing changed every...

    Spring Powersurge order confirmation question.

    Interesting stuff I can't say to this now but in 2011 I ordered my 2012 When I picked it up I found out that it was the last Yamaha sled this dealer ever delivered as Yamaha had pulled their dealership. I almost had to pick it up at a different dealer because Yamaha didn't want to ship to them...

    2011 Vector GT - right grip heater failed, needs slides, maybe more

    After 5 years and 3000 miles its still new, but, I strongly suggest changing the driveshaft bearing. Bottom left hand side below the clutch. I ride 3000 miles a year on a 12 Vector and change it every 2 seasons. Its a dirty spot and the bearing takes on water and rusts I let one go on my rage a...

    Shocks

    How do I tell if they need rebuilding or the springs are weak. I have a 2012 Vector with standard Yamaha shocks on it. About 13,000 miles and nothing done to them. It feels ok to ride but seems to sit a bit low right now. A mechanic said I should get the shocks rebuilt. I took them off this...

    Eps while not accelerating

    If its not working the yellow EPS light will come on in your gauge cluster. Mine does when its 30 below and you know right away that its not working.

    Cleaning out chain case residue

    Why do anything My vector has 16,000 miles on it. I change the oil every year but have never thought of having crud in there. I sure wouldn't put anything but the proper oil in there

    High Mileage Vector

    I have a 2012 vector LTX It has a bit better than 14,000 miles on it Just checked donuts and they are fine. original A bracket beside them broke loose and it had to be re riveted. I change my drive shaft/speedo bearing every 2 years. 35 bucks to change it, 500 to fix when it goes on the trail...

    RS Vector LTX GT vs Apex LTX

    I think one major issue is the ease of an oil change on a Vector compared to the PITA on an Apex
