possible new 4 stroke owner

[tomseal6]

Hi guys. Im new to the 4 stroke side and Its a very strong possibilty that I will be buying Ryans MTN APEX. Anything I need to know? I rode this sled on the TY Munising ride and loved it..

 

[tomseal6]

its a 2007 with about 400 miles on it.

Just change oil every 2500 miles or once a year and you don't have to worry about it be tempermental like a 2 stroke.
My loss is going be your gain,lol

Very nice sled, just remember change the oil yearly. Or if you ride many many miles a year....every 2500 miles.

They do like to have seafoam in them during the summer also. I would recommend doing that instead of starting it several times thru the year.

Tom,
I was in pain watching you get bounced by the bumps on our way to lunch last Muni ride. And the smell... I could not wait to pass you. All I could think is that I did no miss my SRX that is in pcs right now. Sure the SRX is a great sled but the Attak is so much better. I do not miss the 2stroke at all.

Ryan,

I got the loan for the sled. 7.45% interest rate for 60 months at a payment of $140. I told my loan officer I got it for $7000 and since he likes to sled also he didnt believe me and asked me where i'm finding these deals especially on a new 4 stroke.

My uncle knows your coming. Im told him your taking the SX 700 and dropping off another.

What else do I need to worry about for maintenance?? Do these sleds eat hyfax like the SRX's? Do I still need to and how if so, grease the drive shaft bearings? This thing looks like a freaking monster. I am only 5'6 tall 170 LBS.

Ryan did you get the fluffer sticker installed????

 

[pro116]

It's Pink and spelled just like this in 3 1/2" letters on the winshield


"FLUFFER"


Lmao

 

[onlyblue]

I just did my 500 mile check up and my hyfax were junk. I usually will run them down to nothing before I change them but with the low snow conditions, I couldn't take the chance of eating the rails. They wear faster in the Apex than the SRX or Vmax.
Track was lose with 144 down the middle and a grabbed snow on the trail every place I could.

 

[pro116]

yes it all depends on the conditions you ride in.I would recommend some ice scrathers that's anoither thing I was going to buy and didn't yet.Get some that mount on the ski's so the spray cover the whole slides because the one's that mount on the rails only sprays 3/4 of the rails.

HYFAX

What size wheels are on the MTN APEX

Do I need to pick up a set of 5.38 wheels from Rich?

Can run the track loose with extroverts

Hartman INC sells a set that mounts on the skis but only works with Simon Skis

 

[pro116]

You can't use ski scrathers on stockers but there is C&a 's on there.I think it was srxspec that told me a place that you could get them for ski's
I think the stock wheels are 5.125".Polaris wheels wiil boldt right on.
Yes you can run the track loose with anti rathet drivers.

 

[tomseal6]

ok thanks how many 5.38 wheels do I need to get from rich?

You can get the scratchers for simons skis from hartman
