standard/SE
The Fox's in the front on Se allow the front to readily be lowered along with 13mm bar that will greatly improve the handling. The Mega in the rear is nothing to write home about.

Mine is at 60 psi in the fornt, limitter pulled up one hole, stock 12mm bar. Could go another hole on the strap. Mega is a little better as far as not bottoming in those "g" bumps I think. It can be very good, but is very sensitve to air pressure. My impressions........ Overall I'm pretty happy with the setup now. IMO Yamaha's recommended settngs are way too high.

My SE bar miked at 11mm and by adding 13mm and lowering front 40 psi, middle hole on strap and control rod you find with this setup that cornering will be very flat with excellent handling. I also run pilots to feduce darting. Box stock the SE isn't the greatest handling, (OK) but not like it is now.

I could be wrong on the bar diameter. I asked on the forum a few months back and was told it was 12mm. It does have a different part number than the 2010.

I thought the standard Apex rode smoother and handled flatter than the SE in most trail conditions. The SE will probably handle the big bumps better. My dealer has a leftover 11 standard that he wants to sell me. I've got him down to 6000 plus tax plus my 06 Apex GT.
I've got a standard 2011 Apex and love it. Rides great. Buy it ! I've heard problems with the air shocks on the SE losing air or needing adjustments with temperature changes.

Re: apex
I think you mean XTX if it was a long track. The SE and Standard have 128" tracks.

adirondac blue, The lake is frozen in the middle with a little water near the shoreline. I was on it last weekend but you can't go past the batchlerville bridge because the lake is all broken up around it due to construction. Be safe!!!!
