Did the shaper bars do much for darting? These suckers dart WAY more than the stock ones in the current setup.

Hey Guys - Has anyone tried these skis on an Apex? We had them on with less than stellar results. CRAZY darting and a pretty heavy steering feel, however it did turn better in the corners. Before abandoning them completely (we have regular carbides + easy steer plates on them now) I was...

dollies and a sled lift are great floor savers as well! :)

thanks for the info grizztracks.. something else to try!

Thanks wollyviper, I forgot to mention. I just put a brand new battery in it this week (old one was shot) and the same thing is happening. So the battery has been ruled out. I starts, runs just fine.. but it is (still) slowly draining the battery. 12.0V across the battery terminals when...

Hey All - Need your help. Last winter, my wife's 2005 Rage died on the side of the trail after a day's ride. We were quite a ways from the trailer - thankfully I was able to jump start her machine off my Apex and we were off. I charged her machine back up when we got home and all was good...

Hey Guys - Just an update. Took it to a local TIG welder who said he could do it no problem (he's across the street from a Yammie dealer and said he's done many before). $60 cash and 2 hours later and you can tell the eyelet was ever ripped out!

Hey All - A relative has an '05 Rage. She hit a tree at low speed today and broke the aluminum mount where the arm meets the chasis (the hole where the a-arm meets the chasis is what broke). How big of a job will this be to fix? We haven't torn it apart yet.. Sort of fretting it at the...

Brett - make that two of us! I'm also looking to add a hitch to my wife's 05 Rage. :)

Hey Guys - Need help. The manual is total crap when it comes to providing you instructions on how to change out the headlights. I ended up unscrewing the screws that hold on the wire "clips" that hold the headlight snug in place. Now I'm trying to reinstall those clips, and for the life of me...

A quick comment on the skis pushing - I installed Bergstrom skegs last year on my Apex and shimmed the skis as per Scott's suggestion - WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Completely changes the handling of the sled, and no darting. I put the triple-point carbides on - have them on all 3 sleds now. And its made...

Sweet! Thanks!

Hey Guys - Perhaps a silly post but I search and came up empty handed.. What tool do you guys use to remove the circlips holding the bearing in place in the idler wheels? They're a B*tch to get out with a pair of needle nose. I'm going to head to Canadian Tire in a bit to pick up something...

Thanks Guys - no, this isn't the first oil change. I have 5,000KM on the sled now and the filter was last changed around 2,500KM. I just didn't think it needed another change so soon. I'm going to just change the oil right now, and perhaps revisit the filter again next year. And...

Guys - Searched and didn't find what I was looking for (however I do expect [and deserve] several "SEARCH" responses so bring 'em on! :tg: ) Here's my question - I've searched and read about how much of a nightmare it can be changing the oil on the Apex. However is that due to how...

I second the easymove dolly. I have the "original" style dolly as well and it doesn't work well on the big 4strokes at all. Easymove dolly makes it a breeze. You can order it from Royal Distributing I believe (I picked mine up at the GoSnow show in Toronto in September)

Hey Everyone - Ok, labour day has passed and it's time to start thinking about the upcoming sledding season. :) I got stuck in some freezing rain last winter for a couple of long hauls. I have a Gore Tex Yamaha Avalanche jacket (Reima) and its AWESOME but I've got some coldwave pants that...

Great response BigMac - thanks! This helpmed me too (and I didn't know that matrix existed). ;)!

Oops. I'm an idiot .. Just noticed the link you posted under your comment. Thanks! I'll check it out...

Ok, I half expect the answer to be "search" but how do I grease pto side and jackshaft bearings? Is this very involved?
