    Clock problem

    My bad. I should have said that SHOULDN'T be the case. The clock should not reset when the battery is disconnected.

    Clock problem

    If what you are thinking were true, the clock would reset every time the battery was disconnected. That's not the case...

    Clock problem

    Just a guess, but betting there's a watch battery that's SUPPOSED to power that clock when the sled is shut off. Without it, it's going to do what you describe. Just like a computer with a dead CMOS battery that asks for the time/date every time you power it up....

    Anybody wear prescription glasses while riding?

    Been riding a long time - over 40 years now? I had Lasik done in '04 - strictly because I was sick and tired of screwing with glasses while out riding my sleds. That would be 35 years worth of nothing but aggravation! I've been there, done that trying to make them work with a full face helmet of...

    How do you make the apex stand up

    See avatar, then read signature. That's a standing start with a 121" track in 3' of heavy wet snow.

    Go for it. They'll give you an education regarding rebound damping you'll never forget!

    Mods for 07 rtx

    Well sir, I believe you've hit the nail squarely on the head! It really is hard to go wrong.... Seriously, I'd suggest going with your favorite skid if you've been riding a while. If you don't have a favorite, look for one that came from under a heavy sled (thinking T-Cat or similar when I...

    extroverts ?

    You'll be fine. Um, on the extro driver clearance deal you'll be fine. You're on your own regarding the other thing...

    Why Should I buy a Yamaha?

    Poo doesn't have a 4s worth talking about and Yammi has never had ride/handling worth talking about. Cat's 4s sounds like my garden tractor. I second the earlier vote for the 1200 Doo.

    Mods for 07 rtx

    Well, as I live and breathe.... Nice to hear from you ReX!! ;)! For those of you that weren't around when Yammi first brought the Apex out with the "rough trail suspension", I'd like to reintroduce ReX. If that name sounds familiar but you can't quite place it, check out the author of the...

    Anyone run Rotella T6 synthetic?

    Yes. I run it in everything....

    Mods for 07 rtx

    Knowing what I know, I would suggest you do something with the suspension, now! The stock suspension is a complete POS as is. Seriously. It's a nightmare. At minimum you need to have the shocks revalved and extroverts installed. Making more power or trying to get additional power to the...

    12,000 miles on sled what should I be replacing

    Actually, no, they're not. They quietly increased the size of the driveshaft when they went to extrovert drivers - taking care of 2 rather well known issues at the same time.
