Plans for my RX1 this summer- am I making any mistakes

[wreckdiver]

Too late, already have the 5.7 Pilot's.

Any ideas on whose tunnel reinforcements will cover up the holes left by my RA knob?

Any pictures????

Sounds like a good build

Not to hijack your thread, but that is exactly what I have done to my 03 RX1. I am in the process of selling it. The mods done are Expert X 136, Ice ripper, Ohlins upfront, Boss seat, extra tunnel cooler, Simmons skis, water temp gauge, riseer, tunnel extension. I absolutely love this sled after all of my mods were done. I just want to refresh my fleet. I would be happy to anwser any questions you have about your project or me sled. Thanks, Dana.

Wish I was in the market now, instead of last year, I would buy your sled in a heartbeat. Oh the work and money this build involves! Have had the M20 Airwave for a couple weeks, and it is soooo sharp, I hate to put it under the RX.

how does the ice ripper track work been thining bout getting one for my rx1

 

[wreckdiver]

Won't know personally till next season, but I think by looking at it, it will serve my needs nicely. Should deal with icy spots on the lake and trails with no problem.

 

[yamaha-rider]

well thats what i was thinking as well but i have been told that it might brake the lugs

 

[wreckdiver]

My thought is, if a carbide grabs on something hard, the lug will give and let other carbides take over the job. I can't see where they would keep enough grip to rip out a lug. Just going by theory in my head, but lots of guys say they work great for icy trails and a bit of lake ice.

 

[yamaha-rider]

well that was my theory aswell but was told diff

 

[wreckdiver]

Track is hanging in my garage waiting for install, so I guess I'll find out the good or bad this winter.

 

[yamaha-rider]

i guess i will have to stay tuned

 

[wreckdiver]

Well guys, thanks for all the input!! Much more comfortable ride for sure!! Couple questions though. RPM's only reach 9k now with the 136" track. Dreammeter dropped from 121 to 94---- typical???

Not to hijack someones thread but I was also thinking about a seat upgrade on my 04, it just seems to sit a bit low. Is there any "apex" seats that won't fit or will all years work. Also anyone know of a good place to pick one up that has red or silver accent colors?

Thanks
Jeremy

all years work.

speed drop is typical. did you re-do your clutching when you did this? more rotating mass means different clutching or combo of clutching and gearing.
