Dang...by the name of the Topic, I thought you were selling Map "Posters". Hey wait!! There you go Tom.....sell map Posters! Heck, you could make enough to buy a Turbo for that new 05' :Rockon: :Rockon: LOL

Dang Dukester, Promised myself I'd wait one more year for a new sled, Promised myself I wouldn't read any threads on the 05's....Then you just had to say all those good things about the new skid :o| :o| one weak moment and.......... :o| #$%&* :o| Now who's gonna explain to the woman who...

Mine froze first couple times. I spray some Tri-Flow in the rod/tube linkage every so often. Have never had the probem since.

Any Alaskan sledheads still going? Leaving tomorrow!! Will be in space #885. Heard the snow is chest deep ;)! Look me up.....beer on ice!!!!!!!! You guys down south...pull that stroker out of storage and throw it on the trailer and head north :ORC We still have 2 months of riding left...

Yet bet LB! I think there's a LOT of people anixous to see what the out come of this will be. I will definately let you guys know...good or bad,when I know. Called Dealer again yesterday...they still haven't got to it :evil:

47.....Feel like 57 when I get out of bed, 19 when I get on a sled! Been riding 25 years, broken 9 bones, dislocated shoulder and numerous torn and ripped ligaments (most in the last ten years) :shock: RX-1 has only bitten me once. Does that mean I'm getting better? :? But it's what keeps me...

jtssrx: See my post " Is Yamaha admitting to Jackshaft bearing problem". LB: Jackshaft showed signs (color) of heat on both sides of the break. The metal also looked "crystalized". (Also think I saw a piece of a used rubber in there too) :shock: As for damge5.jpg some of the shrapnel hit...

No guys..nothing to due with earth's rotation but rather the magnetic Poles. Same principle as hurricanes and toilets spin clockwise above the equator and counter clockwise below the equator. Beings I'm in Alaska and much closer to the NORTH POLE, I can go 15-20 mph faster when turning to the...

Thanks for posting the pics Convert. BBY, had a GPS at the time but close mountain peaks prevented us from getting a fix. Found it with "Dead reckoning"...and a lot of luck. Will hopefully find out more this week on exact damage and cause. Then...what will be covered, and what won't...

Finally got my sled off the Glacier today :D ... Chopper Pilot gave me a break at $1,257. :shock: Got to drive 350 miles to Dealer tomorrow. Got some good pics of damage, but don't know how to post them? Can anyone post them for me? If so, what size should I make'em?

I FOUND HER!!!!!!!!! A buddy flew me up there today (airplane) and low and behold THERE she was! Windsheild and Handlebars sticking out of the snow!! (She looked so lonely) :( After a week of storms and lots of snow...was starting to think I wouldn't find her till June. Going up in the...

JDKRXW..see my post "Is Yamaha admitting to Jackshaft problem. Yooper...will know more when I retrieve her...bearing looked dry I think..

Convert, So glad you were close to home. Yes indeed...you know they've got to know there's a problem with this bearing. Hopefully they do something about it before it causes a bad accident...or worst. As for me, it's been snowing non stop since last Mon. Had the chopper standing by....but no...

You can check out Arctic Man at http://arcticman.com During this week, this area (in the middle of nowhere) becomes Alaska's third largest city!! Lots of events, over 1000 motorhomes and 15,000 sledheads!!

Thx for advice Steve, I started a Journal that nite. I've also been advised that this is starting to get up into the $$$ that I may have to take possible legal action to regain some of my loss :cry: Geez, all I want is my sled back...and running like she did! I still love this sled...

I have the Morgan Carb Tune....took about 20-30 mins. Pretty simple. Carb tune instructions made more since than the manual. After getting my sled back from dealer (carb deep bowl update) it idled like #*$&@. Threw the carb tune on her and #1 carb was way out. Dosen't seem to matter the order you...

mwyeth, Yes...definatly going! Don't think I'll have my RX-1 back by then...so I'll be riding my MM700 :( Got space# 885 (runway)

After 2 days of endless busy signals... I finally got through to Customer Service (1-800-962-7926). Gave them all my info. and what happened. Asked them why Yamaha or my Dealer never informed me about a possible jackshaft bearing problem. Their answer......(hold onto your seats, your not going...

Update: Called my dealer today. He said he's heard of a few problems with the bearing, but nothing serious...? MORE GOOD NEWS...he informed me my warrenty expired in Nov. :cry: He said I could try Yamaha Customer Service. Called 4 times..line busy. Will keep trying..not sure what for. EVEN...

Is anyone getting this warrentied? Wished I'd have checked mine...but with less than 3K, I didn't think this bearing could go.......but it did...with devastating results! Here's what happen to me yesterday. Was climbing a Glacier, running about 8k rpm...when suddenly, all hell broke loose...
