05 Vector skid wheel ?

[sledheadgeorge]

You guys have any advise regarding the front inner wheels on the skid frame of an 05 Vector . I noticed that they have some factory holes in them and I need to change out a set for a buddy of mine that has a handicap. Can you change them out for the same wheels that are on the out side of the rails just behind the front shock, or is there a reason for these holes? Appreciate your help.

i think those holes allow you to get a socket on a suspension nut or bolt in that area with out taking off the wheels ect. I think...

That's correct and to add to that... the holes are to get access to the lower center shock eye bolt which you will notice is different than most Yamaha bolts in that it has no flange and has a lower profile head to clear the wheels.

It is easier to remove the whole pivot assy with the wheels on it rather than to use these clearance holes, so go for a different wheel.

Check out my past posts on replacing these wheels. I came up with a permanent solution to the problem which has lasted 4,000+ miles on my sled with studs and much marginal snow conditions.
