Tunnel cracking???

[yamirider]

Was over at Hardcoresledder.com and there is a post about Apex's having problems with the tunnels cracking and breaking and causing track damage? Has anyone else heard about or experienced this? I have a new Apex Er that I have not ridden yet, but I am a little concerned with all the problems I am hearing about with this sled(handwarmers, thin heat exchangers, inside wheels coming apart, ect...). I have ridden Yamaha sleds for a very long time and always have been happy, I hope that doesn't change with this model. I just sold my 01 SRX and hope I don't regret getting rid of it. If the Apex truly is having all these problems it will be at the dealer with service bulletins more than out on the trail. I hope this is not the case?

I believe that this problem is isolated to the Apex Mountain - the longer paddles on the mountain track are contacting a bracket below the exhaust. I have not looked at my RTX yet - just got the first 25 miles on it this afternoon!

yes just the mountains, there are pics on that website of the brackets.
