    LED headlight probs on my 14 Apex

    Help, I just got a set of Headlight Experts LED headlights for Xmas for my Apex XTX but I dont see how the dust cover will go back on. The cover won't fit at all and would cover up the little fan on the bulb. What can be done? It doesn't seem that you can run without this cover either as...

    Another Yamaha dealer closes in Maine

    What has become of the company? They barely sell any sleds in Maine anymore. The dealer in Newport closed a couple years ago and now the dealer in Old Town has closed. What do they expect when they only offer a couple different versions of the same model sleds and those are Cats with Yamaha...

    LED headlights for Apex?

    I just put LED replacement headlight bulbs in my old truck and what an improvement! Does anyone make LED replacement bulbs that will fit a 14 Apex? This would be awesome.

    Feeling Guilty

    Last week I rode a buddy's 19 Ski Doo Renegade Enduro with the 900 Ace turbo and I really liked it a lot! I've been a loyal Yamaha rider for 30 yrs owning countless sleds but I am quite disappointed with any new Yamacat sleds. I love my 14 Apex XTX but I really don't care for the Yamacat Winder...

    Should I change exhaust doughnuts??

    My 14 XTX now has 9000 miles on it. If I clog the exhaust with rags it will still stall it. Do I change the exhaust doughnuts anyway even though I have no signs of leaking? Incidentally, I can't say enough great things about the Star Suspension kit! What an improvement!

    Apex fogging up windshield at idle

    My 14 Apex xtx seems to be fogging up the windshield and gauges when idling after riding it. Is this the dreaded exhaust gaskets? Only have 6500 miles on it. I did try plugging the exhaust with rags and it did shut it off but it was not instantly. Whaddya think?

    Love my Star kit

    I finally got to put on a couple hundred miles with the Star kit installed in my 14 Apex XTX and all I can say is wow! I actually found myself aiming for the bumps amazed at how much better it was. If you hate the stock ride like I did do yourself a huge favor and do this now! I should've done...

    Winder service issues!

    I just helped my buddy service his winder and omg wasn't that fun. Who decided to put the oil tank drain there?? What a moron! The last thing we have to do is chaincase oil and this procedure looks ridiculous. Why on earth is there no drain plug?? Do we really have to tear the sled half apart...

    Star kit seems very bouncy

    I just installed the star kit in my 14 apex xtx and it seems like there is very little rebound damping and not much compression damping either. If I push the rear bumper all the way down and let off it bounces right back up all the way to the stops with a clunk. Something just seems wrong. I had...

    Star suspension kit install XTX

    I just rcvd my Star rear suspension kit and my skidoo center shock spring is on order per Star's instruction. My plan is to pull the skid soon and send my shocks to Hy-gear for a rebuild/revalve. Hy-gear is familiar with the Star kit and their settings. Any tips or thoughts on this? I've pulled...

    Tired of stiff 14 XTX suspension, suggestions?

    It rides really stiff and then bottoms out in high speed dips and I'm over it. Does the Star kit really fix it and work well? My dealer has a a used 136in monoshock suspension off an Apex and he thinks I should extend it to 144 and put it in my XTX. Has anyone done this? I know my wife's Vector...

    New sidewinder experience

    My buddy bought a brand new 18 winder last Saturday and we rode it 150 miles. I was on my 14 apex xtx. First, what is up with the rattling sound coming from the clutch? Both of us found this ridiculous racket annoying after all day. And, on a $15k sled mind you! Apex makes no such racket...

    Apex xtx hyfax wear limit??

    Looking at worn Dupont hyfax on my 14 xtx with 3500 mi. When to change? I have about 3/16 or 5mm slider left about midway back after the Dupont inserts stops. Why aren't the inserts the whole way? Is this as far as it will wear?

    Apex xtx doesn't go in water

    Has anyone had trouble with water getting on their clutches bringing you to a complete stop? I have a 14 xtx and I can't go through water that's on top of the ice on lakes. I've never had this problem and I've owned many different yammies including 2 warriors and they went through water fine. If...

    14 xtx suspension problem

    OK guys, I put a set of nytro torsion springs in because I thought it was way too stiff. I also put in a set of 4 position blocks and a set of Hygear spacers. It feels really soft now and it doesn't seem to rebound all the way either. Sled is basically new w/500 mi on it. Rear shock is still at...

    Vector aftermarket wrap or decals?

    My wife has a black 2012 Vector ltx which she loves but it's all black with a couple silver stripes. I'm thinking I'd like to find something to dress up the plastic side panels for her. Any ideas? Can decals adhere to the plastic side panels?

    2014 apex xtx suspension mods?

    I'm getting ready to change the rear suspension in my xtx which I find to be harsh and stiff. I picked up a set of nytro torsion springs this summer and I guess I need to get a set of spring spacers from Hygear? I thought I would try this before going the Starr route as I don't really want to...

    Fed up with stiff ride on 14 apex xtx!

    I've tried it for a 1000 miles hoping it would soften up but it hasn't. I weigh 250+ and I run the springs on soft and the clicker all the way soft and it rides like a brick. I haven't touched the center shock. When I set on the sled it barely goes down. Clearly to me anyway, the springs are way...

    Warrior front suspension parts

    I have both complete sets of a-arms from an 04 warrior along with several other parts from one that caught fire. Is there any want for this stuff?
