    Anybody else having problems with hyfax wear and the 05 skid

    Still running my original slides on my 03 RX1 MN. Have 4500 kms on them now. Same as BlgsRX-1mtn that mine wore quickly down to the wear indicator but they have hardly worn at all since! 05 Ventures are having a similar problem but they are wearing about half way down the rail. Yamaha is...

    Temp Gauge Install Pics

    Looks good. I installed a guage on my 03 RX Mountain. Am planning to buy a Venture TF and am planning to install a guage before I go for my first run. Had cooling issue on the RX when on hard packed trails. Installed the rear cooler and solved that problem. Can't see how a cooler can be...

    Just picked up my new 03 RX1 Mountain any advice / mods

    If your riding trails the rear cooler is a must! Get a seat from an 04 if you can get your hands on one for a decent price. Longer sway bar links and soften up the front end springs when you put the longer links on!!!! If you are doing significant trail riding cut your track down. I cut the...

    Float Bowl height, after new style bowls

    03 RX1 Mountain had updated float bowls installed and gas milage improved, machine ran better, and no sputter when going vertical! Check the air screw settings, floats, and carb vent lines. My float were set same as the original setup!

    2005 RS Venture

    I think I'll be trading my 2000 Venture 600 but my only beef is that the gas tank is too small!!!!!! Everything else is bang on, longer track, lighter, hopefully better on gas. Why couldn't they give us the same as the old Venture. If it is better on gas than the RX1 then it may not be a big...

    Yamaha has a cooler for RX1 Mountains

    Have about 2000 miles on my mountain. Overheated numerous times when riding any distance on hard packed snow. The killer on the mountain is the back edge of the short track frame that hangs down thus preventing snow returning from the back of the track from getting on the cross over pipe...

    RS VENTURE QUESTION

    one of the reviews I have read stated that this motor was designed for the snowmobile. May be an altered version of another (existing) motor but My impression is that this is a new motor.............

    Ice Scratchers?

    I'd like to get a ski mounted pair but SLP don't have anything for the stock RX-1 skis. Anybody know of set that will fit the stock skis. I've also got the CA Pro Trail 6" wide skis. Have not seen a ski mount set to fit them either. I really like them in powder and they keep the front end...

    Packing extra fuel

    RX Fun, have you tried to eliminate the strap across the seat. I think you could if you had a plate to put under the running board between the board and the pins instead of the washers, this should distribute the pulling forces over the board so the pins don't pull through or twist the running...

    MPI Transfer Enhancement Kit

    I've tried many of the changes discussed on this website but have not been able to get a rear suspension setup on my 03 mountain that I am happy with! I have to ride 40 miles on trails to get to the hills and open country. Most of these trails are not groomed. The ride on my 2000 Venture is...

    Mountain rear heat exchanger

    i've installed the Mountain Max 700 rear cooler. Not the prettiest job, still trying to figure out how to hide the hoses! Works great.

    RX1-mountain + 132lb female = QUEEN of the hill??

    Anybody can handle these machines going through powder at half throttle! The difference is the slow going and when you push yourself past the limit (as I'm sure we all do at times!). That is when this machine shows it weight. This machine is equal to the Summit and Mountain Max machines I...

    RX1-mountain + 132lb female = QUEEN of the hill??

    I agree with spray. This machine can be a handful. I'm 5'11" and 215lbs, I love driving it but it takes alot of body english to keep this baby upright at times. I suspect you will be disappointed if you buy this machine.

    RX-1 Mountain

    Same comments as above. If your coming from a touring machine this machine needs body english to keep it going fast on the trails. I've also got a Venture 600 and cannot keep up with that on tight winding trails. On the lakes with 2 ft of powder is where this machine shines. 101 mph top...

    Mountain rear heat exchanger

    MM700 Cooler Installed I've installed the MM700 rear cooler. Lies flat inside the rear extension. Simple installation. Black plastic cover hides most of the hoses and connectors. Never overheated after installing last February, even in low snow. :D MM700 Cooler is only 3/4" piping so had...
