After my 05 RS Venture that I bought new, there is no way I will buy another first year yami. I had also bought a new 02 Viper another bad experience. I have to admit I love the look, more rider forward, F.I., etc. I could see me saying maybe this is the year they get it right the first time...

I can not believe the 07 or 08's did not have EFI. I wonder when ABS will come available on snowmobiles.

Still haven't had this sled out yet. Hope to in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for everyone's input.

While I was typing you where posting just what I was looking for. What are those shims made of? Thanks for the info. ;)!

On the technical bulletin dated 5/9/05 # S2005-007 they show the o-rings in a different spot than where I think my dealer put the o-rings that came in the kit. It is possible that they used another 3 o-rings. But like I said they are badly ripped/torn in 10 miles. The clutch was so quiet I could...

Found one of the 3 o rings from primary clutch update on drivers foot well. And clutch started making some noise again. Has anyone made a spacer washer for primary clutch weight arm pivot shaft/bolt. Needs to be a 9MM washer and very thin. What would be the best thing to make this from Teflon...

I am going to try those SLP track pads. My sled also feels just like yours, feels like a bad belt also. But have done a couple belts and makes only a slight difference. And other bonus is there will be less rolling resistance. Which I have always thought was a issue with 05 RS Venture's. Do you...

Yes I bought it brand new. Has 387 miles. I have read on this site to run track loose. I will check out the SLP track pads. I feel like it's the rolling resistance thing as I did check out how the track spins on stand. Which it does stop quick when letting off throttle but I think that is...

Do you think it will be obvious if I pull the cover.

If good will warr. is like car industry the dealer has full control of warr. The dealer gets so much money per unit sold for good will warr. Which the dealer fully controls. All the manufactures did this so they don't need as many reps I.E. save money. This also helps the manufacturers separate...

I feel a little better now as my 05 RS Venture with 387 miles did this also. But I find the belt smokes easy from a stop on this model 2up. Does your belt ever smoke/burn from a stop. I keep thinking it's a rolling resistance thing. I only weigh 180 and of the 387 miles. Maybe 50 where with...

Thanks for info. I am glad I posted before tearing the sled apart. I checked the slides to see if I cooked them, looked ok. If I keep this sled I think I will open all track windows, install clips, and add wheels. I priced out 06 up rails and wheels over $1,000. in parts. May try to find a...

I think only once it did it cold, coming off trailer.

This has happened 10-12 times in 387 miles. It feels like track, chain, is stuck. Had to dealer when sled was under warr. Nothing found. If it does this in forward I have to go into reverse, if it happens in reverse I have to go into forward and than it is ok. I had drive belt off and can move...

I just found this play also and found this thread doing a search. This play is normal? I can move the secondary 2 1/2 inches back and fourth. I was going to remove chain case cover to inspect play. But I don't want to waste time if normal. Since the sled was new 05 RS Venture it has cooked the...

Was driving 3 kids ages 4-7 in my yard and OMG I thought a bearing was seizing. But it appears to be the the track noise after listening to it on a stand. I guess it is the first time I have driven it without a helmet on. I only have 300 miles on the sled. I just bought the front hyfax wear...

When do maine trails open officially? N.H. is Dec. 15th.

I only have a few hundred miles and have not done anything on the track howl. But I have to fix this! I guess I will go to the dealer and check out the 08 to see what they have done. Unless you guys have fixed it. I didn't want to mill pol/doo wheels and skid but will if I have to.
