So I made up my mind last march to spring order a 2011 Apex SE. This sled is well put together, and it sounds awesome. But I have a few question about the sled.
1) Yesterday I started it up, put it on a stand and spin the track a few times. All in all the sled was running about 10 minutes, then I notice that the fan came on. When do the fan come on? When the temperture is half way through it's temperture range? 3/4 of the way?
2) I have notice some pictures on this site of a 2011 apex with a extra set buggies wheels in the back of the skid. Why was ths installed?
3) Are you guys following the manual for the break in period?
Thanks

I said to myself I would follow the break in procedures. I failed, miserably.
If these are your intentions, I wish you the best of luck. Don't let the ol' 4 cylinder tell you otherwise. It is pretty convincing though...
