Loose is fast:sled2:

Blue. Must be blue. :sled1:

That's why this site is so great. I never even checked these bolts seasonally. I will be doing so from this point on as I typically remove the skid every year to go over it.

Probably was without oil for over 100 miles save the lit bit below the crack. . So actually withstood quite a bit.

Oh yeah it will be all shiny new. The whole kit Caboodle. I will say that with the way we ride, the front end is solid as is the skid. So, for those crying about quality issues it just has not been my experience. Sure my Apex chain case and overall build quality is tough. Never an issue with the...

Well, you are so right. I would have to admit that driving aggressively through trail junk over the years surely didn't help. I do take meticulous care of my machines but I run the snot out of them also. Apex, Muscle car, ATV etc...I mean isn't that the point after all. :p

Excellent! Yes you know the feeling when you have your sled dialed in perfect. That's where I'm at so why start all over again. Those QS3R shocks re so damn good whats the big deal to get off and change. MOst of the time I set for the condition that day and may make one change if at all if temps...

As if it the short season wasn't bad enough, I got dinged by the fatal flex crack that seems to be happening to those that have logged over 9,000 miles. I have been lucky with some due diligence as well. Keep bearings greased, constantly check chain case and drive shaft each year for wear and...

I have a 2017. Blowing belts like crazy when I first got it. I had to take off 3 mm on secondary. Run at 58MM, with Thunder Products rollers and springs. Also check your primary rollers. mine where bad. I run the belt even or just below the top of secondary sheave. Since 1,500miles , I have not...

Same thing happened to me. I’m no expert but here is what worked for me; Thunder Products Primary and secondary rollers with glide washers Thunder products Primary and secondary springs Dalton QUAY 70 at 74grams Ultimax 825 Could probably use more weight but my rpms are within the range (high...

If you go up that far you musty put https://www.fairmont-manoir-richelieu.com/ on your to do list. Very cool castle casino on the water. Snowmobile friendly with valet parking for your machines indoors etc., and on great trail system Transquebec 3 to regional 378 to local that leads straight to...

There is always a glimmer of hope fellas. 1981 Arctic was finished 1983 Artco was born> One never knows....:)

Maybe Brandon will pay for it. OOps, he's batting 0 for 4 this week!

As Milton Friedman said the market determines winners and losers. Die hard Yamaha guy here for years. Even bought into the hybrid with Cat. Bottom line they got smoked. Thier hard headed approach, and slow processes to innovation and change and rediculous decision to rule out two strokes did...

I think a combination of proper rollers and the offset is the biggest thing. Once I went to 58.2 I Iwent from blowing belts every 400 miles the 1st year to no belts blown in five years.

I do believe the dealer relationship has had a very negative impact, at least in my area. The closest dealer is one hour away. Even the dealer I loved who was two hours away closed. So lack of choices with dealerships, and I know there is much more to it, negatively impacts the brand. You make a...

Don't assume it's a Cat issue. Rumor has it Yamaha has had some issues providing engines on time and in quantity. Production every is complicated. There are a lot of tentacles that come together to produce a finished product. Heck we don't know if some components of the engine are produced in...

Now that's a nice looking winder!!

Agreed. Like Jeff Steenbakkers from STV says" Yamaha SrX's should be blue..." Love the 2023 colors.....a little sinister.

That’s the point. When people that are loyal jump ship we are usually all in whatever one we land on. But yes we know if they wanted too they could smoke everyone with their resources but…..
