Could really use some help here - yes i have asked this before but thread died. I baby this sled and don't ride it as hard as it should be ridden but i just want it running flawlessly. 2014 Yamaha Viper LTX-SE MCX190 Turbo kit Backcountry 1.75 track Overheating issues - Machine went into limp...

Hello all, As I start to get my sled ready for the riding season, I need some input regarding the front suspension. I currently have the FOX Floats and would prefer to switch to a coil over type spring/shock as I hear they are better in trail. My riding season is very, very short where I...

Final update (hopefully) Ran sled for the last 2 days, it seems the burping did a lot. When under load down trail, it was consistently running 71-73* Fahrenheit. Obviously at idle, it was increasing but nothing out of the norm. Fingers crossed this continues. Thanks for the input.

Quick update: - Performed a combustion dye test and dye stayed the same color (phew) so for now, i'm going to rule head gasket out. - Put the sled up on a snowbank and ran it through 3 heat cycles, it did burp. - Ran it in the garage yesterday, at idle (with garage doors opened :P) fan kicked...

Happy Friday, Looking to replace just the thermostat on my '14 Viper w/ MCX190. On Yamaha Part site, it lists the whole housing, I only want the thermostat. The old one doesn't have a temp stamped on it, only "USA 44mm" Is there a replacement? Aftermarket? TIA

2014 LTX SE MCX190 Turbo kit Sled is 96% of the time on trail. Every now and then, I get code "P0217" and the sled goes into limp mode. Last night, the sled hit about 120* C / 240* F so I let it coll down and left it at a friend's overnight. I rode it home this morning and the hottest it...

Happy Thursday! I have a MCX190 kit installed on my 14 LTX SE which produces a lot of heat. I have noticed some melting plastics and some deformities on the plastic from the excessive heat. I have installed the MoFlow vent kit and even that is starting to deform. Now, I do not have the heat wrap...

Happy Wednesday! Couple issues I'm having with my 2014 Viper LTX SE - MCX190 1) Always need to carry a booster pack when riding - sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't. 2) Sled wont start at all. I turn the key and it clicks at the starter relay solenoid near the battery. Bought a new...

Thanks for the response. It has the Fox floats on it. Might change them out for the Fox qs3. I just want to get assurances that these sleds are great in trails. The 2014 is $8k.

Hi all, Went and looked at a 2014 Viper LT-X 137 today with 1536km (yes, 1536km!) The dealer also has a 2016 ST-X 137 but with 9000km. Heated seat. Can someone tell me the difference in models and what their preference would be? I'm coming off a 2005 Venture RS couch so the Vipers are new to me.

Thanks Sailor Joe. The track has a 96 stud pattern (up the middle, 2 per)

Hi all, I just received a near new studded rip saw track, just wondering if I have to worry about the studs doing damage to under carriage/coolant etc. If so, what would recommended parts be to ensure no issues?

Hi all - I tried a search and didn't locate and helpful information. Looking to change the track on my 05 Venture. Anyone have a step by step or and help in doing so? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the information and including a part number, much appreciated. The noise isnt really my bother it's the mechanical concerns. I don't want to sell someone something that could breakdown in their early phase of ownership. So I'd rather it be fixed than ignored.

Hi all, For the past week, I've noticed my primary has gotten the rattle (clak clak/jackhammer) sound that I've read a lot about. Mostly noticeable at idle (I'm sure constant but hard to hear under load and with a helmet) Yesterday, a friend rode it and said he thinks something is wrong with...
