2011 Yamaha Apex Initial Review

[titanrcr]

I'll keep that in mind the dealer adjusted it before I bought it but I'll be sure to check it again. Do they go out that frequently?

Yea they will have slack after riding this winter and proper adjustment is critical to keep that sled pulling like it does now. Cables should be checked every season as they tend to break back near the exhaust valve also. I check them out when I do my oil change in the spring. Only other thing I have done to my sled other than the exup cables were oilite front end bushings at about 4K miles. Just gas and go.

Welcome to the EPS croud. 15,000kms on my 11 now and still love it! Can't wrap my mind around any sled without EPS! Lets hope the snow sticks around for another great season. Congrats!

More riding done I have about 400km's on her now. I hit 185 km/hr today which is about 115MPH on speedo so this sled is just as fast on top end as my 2006. I was not on rev limiter yet so I think I had a little bit left maybe 190km/h/118MPH? We'll have to try it again in better conditions. Hope we get more snow the trails are quite rocky.....

Well I need a shock revalve and Ulmer clutch kit. Need a little more get up and go and some mid range pull to beat my buddies etec. My mono shock bottoms way to easy so I'll be sending the shocks out for service and a revalve for my weight and aggressive riding style. Clutch kit is just for fun and a little more pep. I installed Yamaheater it needed it and we are good to go. 3200km's so far this season. Very nice sled much improved over my last sled I love the tunner shock adjustment.
