    Sidewinder roll over valve?

    I think a roll over valve is needed, but depends on your type of riding. On a good day my sled may end up on it hood several times a day in the backcountry. The easiest way to get sleds unstuck is to roll them over, especially on the side of a hill. I have a four stroke solutions roll over valve.

    Icing Issue Solution

    I have used fluid film, it works well. Great product. I used it on a 2003 toyota tacoma i purchased new. The truck chasis is still great and they were famous for rust, even had a recall for it. I had the truck for 7 years and step father has had it ever since.

    Easy Skid install

    I always do it like #2. With the springs let go. Put the springs back up when bolted up, works best for me.

    MBRP Muffler..Race vs Trail

    Rooster nailed it. That ad on kijiji sums it up. Very funny, and well written. Lol My friend had the race version, it is loud. I think the trail is acceptable.

    Wiring Harness short causing various electrical problems: not charging, not cooling, etc

    Have not had issues myself, but seen it come up on TY before. So last year when i removed the subframe to install grizz gusset plates, i cut that exact nub off with a dremel. Good post!

    Sway Bar Removal

    I have also removed my swaybar, still only running 65-70 psi in my Fox float X shocks. I have zero regrets for my style of riding. Way better off trail and i have not noticed any negatives on trail. Sway bar has been hanging in my garage for three years, wish i would have removed it long ago.

    2.52 - 2.86 Driver Comparison

    No advantage i can see other than choice of tracks. I think if you go with 2.86 pitch with 8 tooth drivers the diameter is almost the same as the 2.52 9 tooth stock drivers.

    Dual Fan Setup For Radiator

    This is a awesome setup Off Trail Mike. That is the best way to increase airflow that I have seen yet. Back when I had the first version of the trail tank, I shimmed the radiator a bit due to clearance issues with the fan and tank. Trail tank has great customer service and sent a newer version...

    Excell X wheel Quantity?

    I have a RTX extended to 136". I replaced the 4 stock idlers and added 2 more with mounts just before the rear axle wheels. Great wheels have had no issues and have reduced hyfax wear. Good product.

    Nytro A arms

    X2 on mountaintech a-arms, I have the same set as Rooster, although I have not ridden with them on yet due to quick loss of snow late last year. The quality of workmanship is excellent. Can't wait to ride with this year with the new geometry. 40" wide +2" forward.

    Grizz sub frame install

    Just installed my plates. Had it stripped down for mountaintech a-arms. I asked the same question to grizztracks, he said it can be done with the subframe in, but the lower a-arms have to be removed along with the ecu. As nydiver said once your that far its not that much more to take the whole...

    Nytro FX 120in will a 137in track fit using 136 rail ext?

    My info is from a Snowtech magazine(Jan/Feb 2012 issue) and www.yamaha-motor.ca If it is the same skid as earliar versions and the same mounting points as my 2009, which is quite possible. Then you only have the difference of 136" to 137" track. That is only about a 1/2" the track adjuster has...

    Nytro FX 120in will a 137in track fit using 136 rail ext?

    Terez is correct they changed to 2.86 drivers which drives a 120" track. although I dont know of anyone using a 136" extension with a 137" track I would think you can make the difference up with the adjuster. I dont think the skid changed dimensions. Hopefully someone will have a definite answer...

    Upper and Lower A arm removal

    Dropping the skid plate makes it easy if you have a 2008, but 2009 and up has a reinforcement gusset blocking access to the rear nuts. I went through the tie rod boots. I just installed grizztracks gusset kit and while the subframe was out had the nuts welded to the subframe. Will be easy from...
