What's the difference between the Vector and the Apex? I thought they were similar.
I actually got the sled as payment for side work at someone's house, so I have no actual money tied up in it, just my labor. Lol
The sled has just over 7k miles.

Sweet sled. I have my first Yamaha 4 stroke sleds as well.
But I've had over a dozen Yamaha dirt bikes, street bikes (including 3 YZF-R1s) and atvs.
Congratulations and welcome. You will be amazed by the power of that motor!

As said ^ great sled choice, once you mash the fun flipper on this rig, you won't be able to wipe the grin off your face. Hang on and be ready for the engine braking on these 4S.
The Apex has an EFI 4 cylinder 4 stroke and the Vector a carburated 3 cylinder 4 stroke, other than that, basically the same chassis.
Unless my eyes deceive me, that color combo looks to be that of a 2009 Apex, check the date of manufacture on white sticker on the tunnel and report back, your avatar says 2007 btw?
Enjoy

I was going off what the previous owner told me. I should look at the tunnel to verify.

welcome to the site!
good looking sled.
one thing i reccomend though, to not tie it off of the front bumper that way in the pic. it is only plastic with no metal in it. guys have ripped them off trying to lift the sled by it.

The difference between the vector, and Apex is 3 cyl Vs the 4 cyl. My 08 vector is a 3 cyl carbed, where as the 2010 vector where EFI 3 cyl. What part of Maine are you from? I live in Rockwood, ME. Have put on 1,600 miles so far for the year, not to bad, lol.What's the difference between the Vector and the Apex? I thought they were similar.

The Apex is 4 cyl, the Vectors are 3 cyl. That is pretty much the difference between the two.


2008 Vector and Apex look the same. Need to look at the exhaust covers to spot the difference. As stated the motors are different. The Apex has 30 extra ponies and no clutch rattle.
