2014 Yamaha viper 162

[TURBLUE]

So the part numbers of a 2018 mtx se and my xtx are
8KG-F2201-10-00. 2018 162 mtx se
8JR-F2201-10-00* 2014 141 xtx

What’s the difference?

I got a guy to measure the shock he had and it’s the same as mine. So does that mean I have the right shock?

more thAt chart mean top to bottom it’s 12.5”? Maybe that’s what’s confusing me. I always measure ctc on the eyelets.

The measurements in the chart are center to center. If you have the Cat part numbers I can help you more. Its the number on the shock that starts with 2704-? or 3704-? etc.

Sorry missed your reply...I ended up just welding the rail and re-powdered them. Just waiting for a zbroz center shock spring and in it goes. I appreciate the help trying to figure things out...I have a good understanding of the differences between years.

Guessing these are due for a change…8300km but not sure when they were changed last.

You guys figure there’s lots of miles on them? Looks like the electrode is burnt off partially

 

[maim]

those plugs look like they where still the stockers and he was about to have some ignition issues.

 

[TURBLUE]

Lol that’s what I thought when I pulled them.

 

[maim]

the ones with 13000 km on them from my 11 apex looked way better than that. might have run it on some questionable fuel.

 

[TURBLUE]

I bought it last year and went through everything except the fuel system and spark plugs. Guess I will change the fuel filter also.

The fella that owned it, his wife rode it for most of its life on the trails and meadows in the mountains. It hasn’t had a hard life.

It wouldnt hurt to do a compression check on that motor just to be sure.

 

[TURBLUE]

Yeah good idea. What’s typical compression?

 

[maim]

manual says 120 psi compression is good. i know most engines will run on 100 psi or higher.

 

[MrSled]

If your at 100 PSI or less you have an issue.

 

[TURBLUE]

Is there a specific gap for the mcx 190? Stock says 0.028-0.030 from what I can find.

 

[zx4ever]

.018-.020 is what Is recommend for boost in these turbo 4 strokes. I have been running this gap for years.

Anyone in Canada have a 43 deg straight helix for a viper?
