Please let me know if there are things that we could be adding to this listing to help keep the site in order.

Please put a thread on Nord Locks and Hex head bolts for the 3 turbo bolts.

Nice work here Tom. What a great resource

Great info! I want to buy the quietest 250 kit. I can't find which silencer is closest to stock. Any help for my ltx le would be appreciated!

Seems like a Code25 has appeared for some riders as well as a Code26. Might be worth adding Code25?

I think the "Removing exhaust" thread should be added.

MrSled, I think under "clutching" where it reads "Do not rotate CCW..." it should read "Always rotate CCW...", right?

It should read - Do not rotate CW or Always rotate CCW

I am looking for skid torque specs mainly rear axel torque. I am installing a four wheel kit. Thanks.

As you can see they differ for no reason at all. Rear axle is something you may have to do on trail if track stretches etc. I usually just make them tight. Loctite everything.
