    Cooling System Internal Leak Questions

    Hi Guys, I saw another post about how difficult it can be to bleed all the air out the Sidewinder cooling system and thought I would try bleeding air one more time to be 100% certain that this was not an airlock issue. I learned in the other post to bleed through the turbo housing bunghole...

    Cooling System Internal Leak Questions

    Thanks! The sled is losing coolant somewhere and there are no external leaks. I have added a significant amount of additional coolant after the initial re-fill thinking that I was displacing air when I burped the system. The oil level is normal and looks clean & undiluted. Therefore I am...

    Cooling System Internal Leak Questions

    Hi Guys, I had an issue where my rear heat exchanger had a cracked weld that resulted in coolant loss and the subsequent overheating of the motor. I limped it along for a while at slow speed before deciding to tow it back to the trailer. The weld has been fixed and there is no longer an...

    Anybody have an old complete fuel pump assembly with a bad pump?

    Hi guys, While removing my gas tank to get access to a leaking heat exchanger I accidentally let the gas tank fall off of the tunnel while the fuel outlet hose was still attached which snapped off the outlet hose nipple of the fuel pump. I am not sure if I trust fixing it with JB Weld because...

    Sidewinder Problems and Warranty Items.

    Well the issue is that your stub shaft has slid inward. This is a common issue and is usually caused by blowing belts at high RPM. I have no idea what they mean by "machine report" but I suspect it may be some sort of a download from the sleds computer. I am not sure what exactly is saved...

    Sidewinder Problems and Warranty Items.

    Yes, this is exactly the issue. My chain case and drive shaft are warranty repairs which is great, but they are putting in the same poorly designed Arctic Crap parts so they will absolutely fail again. I did buy the BOP driveshaft saver which the dealer will be installing when the driveshaft...

    Sidewinder Problems and Warranty Items.

    Now the driveshafts are on backorder until February 19th. The back order date keeps moving out. My dealer alone has had four on backorder since December. Obviously they can not keep up with all of the failures. I am still riding with a vibration above 60 mph and a chain case leak that I hope...

    Sidewinder Problems and Warranty Items.

    Now the driveshafts are backordered until February 12th. That tells me that a lot of driveshafts have failed and they can not keep up with the demand for replacements. My dealer peened my driveshaft when he put it back together during the the warranty chain case repair so I could ride it until...

    Sidewinder Problems and Warranty Items.

    Good luck. Your dealer is correct. Top gears and driveshafts are backordered until Jan 20th. I had the same failure a few weeks ago that you are describing. My dealer had authorization from Yamaha to repair everything under my YES warranty including the driveshaft which had the spun bearing...

    Slipping out of gear.

    They are being warrantied by Yamaha. My dealer is checking around to see if he can get the parts sooner.

    Slipping out of gear.

    Mine popped out of gear at about 80 mph on the lake and coasted to a stop. I thought I would try shifting it in and out of reverse to see if that would help. It made a bad grinding noise and then it was stuck in reverse with an SD-08 fault code. Dealer found all of the same things shown in...

    Dealer is replacing my driveshaft and bearing under my YES warranty and told me to purchase the driveshaft saver so he could put it in. Travis is shipping it direct to the dealer. Sled has 2600 miles on it.

    Gap Flasher Issues

    Yes, it must be something with my laptop because I used a different laptop and was able to connect to my flasher and download the updated firmware. Then I reloaded the GAP app on my phone and now everything works properly. Big thanks to Mike at TD for excellent customer support!

    Gap Flasher Issues

    The gap flasher was found on port 4 which is a good thing. However when I click on "Find Device" I get the "user unknown, unable to identify " message.
