Making vents.

[beeze455]

So I am thinking about making vents and looking at the stock plastics. I am thinking about drilling some extra holes with a small drill bit to flow more air, Anybody done this?

You would want to put something there to keep the snow out of the clutches and air box. I bought a vent kit for mine last season.

Did it to the wifes xtx and both of my apex's I cut the lower part of the panle and used frog ski to cover the holes and made a frame out of some chicken wire. Costed me about 25 bucks. Got the frog skin from Outerware.

I've drilled some holes in the dash cover on my Nytro, as well added a couple of other vents to help evacuate hot air under the hood of my Nytro. Here's a link to a couple of pics: http://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php? ... s&start=49

Using a regular drill bit creates a pretty rough edge in the plastic. I've found that using a stepped bit really cleans up the holes.

One of the best vents you can put on your Nytro. Hot engine, hot rad......heat rises.

Does your gauge cluster, bounce around at all or is it a ridged mount?
Does it pay to buy the remounting plate with it?

No, it doesn't bounce around. Once the hood is in place everything is nice and firm. You have 2 options for gauge mounting. As shown, above the vent (which I prefer) or off the steering post.

I actually have that piece cut a little already and am going to make a vent for that top part. I am looking to do some more in the front.

vents

if you can get a hold of some trampoline material it works great very sturdy breaths well and keeps snow out. made a few with it backed with expanded metal and rivets with washers works great, and cheap. put a vent wherever you like. hope this helps mike

Great idea. I have a hole 14' tramp that the frame was trashed.

The outerwears or frogskinz is the best as it is almost water proof and breaths like nothing is there but it can rip easy. Tramp material is pretty tough.
