Phazer 900?!

[fraolib]

thats weird. most other sleds u can grease those

It's a $50 bearing.. its unfortunate that its not serviceable.

My buddy greased the bearing by the speed sensor on his Attack by buying one of those needle attachments for a grease gun. It actually worked pretty slick!

Speaking of bearings my dad just told me that he changed the bearing in my sled tonight. (Im at my moms) and he said it took him 45min, the bearing was good, but a little sticky so it was due.

I was dissapointed that he went and did it without telling me and waiting so I could be there to help but I guess were doing his in the Apex next month.

Arctic has a 1050 cc 2 cylinder 4 stroke in thier Z1 putting out 123 hp. naturally aspirated, so a 900 twin with about 100 hp. is definatley possible. I just don't know what Yamaha is Up to?

The jackshaft and driveshaft bearings take about 20 min to grease. It's easy, same as most of the idler wheels. You can't take the bearing out, but you can put the grease in. Press the seal back on and she'll fill that bearing full.

There is a Big difference between riding a sled hard and abuse. Maintenance is also, a key factor.

I'm glad I'm getting some support from you guys about fraolib insisting that something is bent or broke on my sled but there is no preventative maintenance of a bent control arm or something like that ya know.

 

[TRUTH]

Maintaining your suspesnion and having it properly set up could help prevent that from happening. All of the conflicting reports make a guy worry about his machine.

 

[zackn291]

K I agree with ya there

Maintance does help. I have my skid out after Every Race weekend and I find stuff all the time loose or starting to come loose. Retorqueing and grease and maintaining the sled realy helps. My sleds are ridden harder than most peoples in extreme conditions. Yet I have not experience most of the failures you guys have??


I did break a reinforced front torque though, after 600 miles of abuse.

Same thing here. I do the army standers thou. visdul cheack once a day, fluid and bat cheack befor each start a day, skid out once a week and covers, then enigne engine and stuff like that once a month. I find stuff coming lose, but yet have not had these problems you guys speek of. The only thing braking is stuff that get hit by obeject, so realy the only think that has broke was the fire hydent crash but have bent a few things by running into things.

 

[zackn291]

Actually I have broke a few things on my sled. I lied... haha my back bumper got smashed up and same with my front. I got rear ended by my dads gf (women drivers.. erghhh) and my dads buddies Forward didnt engage after going from Reverse to Forward and then all of a sudden he pins it and boom my bumper is smashed up.

the dealer telling me its gonna keep braking no matter what i do makes me worry about mine
