Bought 2010 Vector LTX some questions compareing to ATTAK

[CaptCaper]

I bought a 2010 RS Vector LTX for my wife because I bought a 07 Attak back in 07 and really like it still after 6 K miles. She has handled my Attak fine so I thought the Vector would be o.k.
I know they are similar but is there any differences I should be aware of? I probably will stud it with 1.325 Woody's like I did to my Attak. Do we need to add 1 1/2 in more of protection over the cooler like I had to do with the Attak?
Any other things? Were going to like this machine I'm sure.

Were to get a manual?

yes you will need some additional protection over the exchanger (i don't think 1 1/2" though). afaik no matter what you will need additional carbide on the skis. other than those things i can't remember seeing too many complaints about the sled and a lot of praise. i hope it's a good one, it's my first one. now if there was just enough snow to enjoy it. i brought a factory service manual when i got the sled but don't have and haven't seen one in PDF

thanks..we got 2ft. last night.

we got a solid 12" but i'm in jersey and the sleds 7 hours away in ny...go figure

funny when you hear guys bitching that the apex-attack handle like crap and your wife has no problem with it,makes me wonder some times,i tried a 2010 vec ltx last year and loved it,much better sled than my 09, with the new efi mill,the sled is much more responsive,she'll love it,congrats

I just found out it comes with a "low" windshield. She won't like that so now I have to figure which one will work. I have the medium one I bought for the Attak. Better then stock Attak but compared to her Vmax and she did comment on how she felt the air flow more so.

I changed mine right away here is what it looks like before and after. It also keeps my hands warmer.

I like that. What size and part number did you go with? Yamaha or no name ?

 

[lockburner2000]

I should have the part # at home when i get home i can find it . I got it out of dennis Kirk

The part # is 23-3061 it runs $95.00 and fit very well made by Kimpex i think.

Any one needing a stock windshield i still have it and is in new cond. took it off after second ride.

 

[CaptCaper]

Thanks...
Funny how I typed in make/model/etc. and got only Cobra windshields. Kimplex is more money but probably nicer.
How do they figure height? by measureing up from gas tank?
How high is yours from were the instrument panel bottoms to top of windshield?
I'm just curious to compare to my Attak which has a medium windshield from Yamaha. It is higher then the OEM which came with it.

 

[lockburner2000]

I dont know how they figure the hight they call it med. hight. I can mesaure it when i ride next time i keep it a my father in laws becaues he has a trail by his house. It raining here here now for the next couple days just sucks.

 

[CaptCaper]

thanks no hurry. I might just order it anyway. It has to be better then the "Low" one from Yami.

 

[lockburner2000]

I think it would work for ya. I tried a differnt one first from them and it had a scrach in it so i took it back and they did not have any more of them. They had the one i have now and was glad that they were out of stock because this one has a much better fit and looks better. The smoke color looks good on the seld also. The stock one is just junk it does not stop any wind at all. I also see it must be on sale.
