use polaris wheels. they bolt right on using the plastic bushings from your stock wheels.

Kimpex now has a direct replacement using the 6005 bearing. Go to kimpex.com, select the snowmobile catalog and go to page 356, at the bottom you'll see part #04-116-965 and it's only $24.99.

I put the Ski-Doo wheels on all six idlers, and added the SLP Anti-wear pads as well. I rode about 90 miles the other day and found that my sled had much less resistance. The proof of this was very apparant as my r.p.m.'s before would peak at 10,300 to 10,500 and now it ran up to 11,100. I will now clutch accordingly. I also noticed that as I would slow down and the clutch would disengage the sled would almost surge in comparison to what it did before. I think this is all good except for the added brake wear.

My only issue with that is that the ski-doo idlers are approx 4-4.5mm larger in diameter than the Yamaha ones and I am worried that the rear skid might jump out of the track at hard cornering. Not sure, it might not. I was thinking about just having the current blocks milled down 1.5mm on a CNC and that would lower the stock wheels another 1.5mm. Any thoughts?UPsledder said:I put the Ski-Doo wheels on all six idlers, and added the SLP Anti-wear pads as well. I rode about 90 miles the other day and found that my sled had much less resistance.

What are the SLP anti wear pads? From what I understand Yamaha has switched back to its original wheel supplier from their previous attempt to save money on the wheels for the 2006 sleds. I have newer updated wheels and they are fine. No problems. You get what you pay for. Are the kimpex wheels the way to go if you want a slightly bigger wheel?

slp wear pads...think of them as a rounded bolt...which the bolt mounted where the closed track windows are located...the domed head will have minimal contact with the slide and have way more resisitance than rubber on slide...
facts:you must drill more holes and adding some more metal (weight)these are also a wearable item...
I was considering them...but decided to puch open the closed holes and clip...just like the good old days...fully clipped for me...

When I put the Ski-Doo wheels and anti-wear pads on, I also put new hifax on which should eliminate any problems as the original wheels would wear the hyfax down about 1/4 " rather fast anyway.SledFreak said:My only issue with that is that the ski-doo idlers are approx 4-4.5mm larger in diameter than the Yamaha ones and I am worried that the rear skid might jump out of the track at hard cornering.
