If you remove the hood on your sled, Look behind fuses, you have a few sensors located on a metal plate there. One of them in your map sensor and has a small vacuum line attached to the bottom. If you remove that line often times the condensation will build up and need to be drained out. I have...

Vert curious to hear your report on how this center shock rides/handles!

No issues with laying the sled on its side to install skid plate. As stated above, I often use VP race gas cans to get my sled higher up in the air to work under it/change oil. Things that aren't easy on the lift a sled lift or the electric rafter hoist.

After having an apex, a sidewinder ltx le and now a viper I cant argue the fact the apex truly is an amazing sled. I still have one of my two 2007 apex's. It has around 9,000 miles and brings a smile to my face each time I ride it. It mostly hangs tight in the garage, but every time my...

I am willing to bet it is a faulty map sensor, or the map sensor line has water/condensation in it. Seems to be a more and more common problem with the sidewinder platform. I know my sidewinder had that same issue a few years back. It was a bugger to figure out.

You commented back and fourth with me on a thread a few weeks ago. Not really sure what the route cause was. But 3 bearings that lost all of the balls. After a new shaft and an SKF bearing I managed to ride it once without issue. Our season is done here in Northern New York. Sadly enough I have...

I just recently installed a new driveshaft and both the brake caliper and chaincase bearing with SKF bearings. I had ordered the OEM bearings from Country cat as well. I ended up getting the SKF as per Turboflash recommendations for a better bearing. Just comparing the Arctic Cat (Peer) bearing...

Yes I am mounting the drive shaft saver flush with the end of the shaft so that the bearing is tight with less torque and I still have rotor float.

I will have to take a look at that this next time. Thank you for the heads up.

Yes the three caliper bolts are tight and loctited. I am going to dive into it on my days off Monday/Tuesday. I think I am going to put a new OEM drive axle in it that I have as a spare, new OEM being for now to finish off the winter and go back to the 21/41 gearing. Side Note: I was running...

I am open to suggestions. I am unsure of how I could have installed the driveshaft without being seated correctly. The bearing was pressed into caliper until it was flush with the bottom. Snap ring fit on both ends. If there is something I am missing in the installation procedure please...

Yes drive shaft saver was the last item installed.

Good to know. Thank you for the reply. I picked the bearing up from a big time sled shop well known on here located just across the border in Ontario.

Bearing on the chaincase side feels great when rotating by hand, appears not to have moved from being bottomed out in case. I am unsure what is happening. I had worn drivers on the original drive axle after 4800 miles. So instead of changing drivers I installed a newer drive axle that was...

I too lost that same rear bolt this season. I had the bracket welded shut and re-drilled.
