If you donate $20 to Nick Keller's cancer fund you can get the whole history of the maintenance he did on his 2010 Vector that he logged 99,956 miles on.

By far the longest lasting bar I have ever used is the Stud boy deuce bar and I have used triple points and others. They won't fit on tuner skis however. Have to have a single keel ski.

I heard Yamaha tested V 4's for a engine to put in the vmax 4 before they decided to go with a inline because they felt the engine put out more power then they wanted.

Hmm guess I better get my 2" riser ordered.

Is that a 4" riser?

I was afraid of the same thing that the firmness is what makes it 2" higher but they assured me it would still be 2" higher with the density/foam change. I guess I will find out but they said it will be more soft than what they normally make. Thanks for the pivot suggestion.

I have a 2" higher seat ordered from seat concepts for my 14 Vector LTX. I am 6' 1". I told them to not make it as hard as they normally do as I like the softness of stock I just wanted it 2" higher. I have yet to order the 2" riser. Who do you guys recommend for a 2" riser? Don't need anything...

Well since nobody had a answer for this I had to do some experimenting myself. I put two 14 gauge and two 18 gauge shims on each ski with the larger 14 gauge on the inside part of the ski. 3/4" inside diameter by 1.25" outside diameter shims. It tightened up the ski side to side movement real...

I recently ordered a 2" higher then stock Vector seat from them. If you don't weigh that much and you want a seat that is softer then the seat they normally make you can request it to be made that way. I did because I am only 180 and like the softer seat that is stock. I just wanted it 2" higher.

Sledhead 24-7 used to not even have Yamahas on there shows at all they were so bias.

I have a lot of movement side to side on the skis itself. I have 2 Vectors and a Venture and they all have lots of movement. I never hear anyone comment on this issue just front end bushing wear. I ordered a couple ski bushings but there really wasn't any wear on the old ones and there is no...

If you decide to use a GPS, vvmapping has great maps to install in it for your state of Wisconsin as well as Michigan and Minnesota. Very good customer service to help you with questions.

I use both maps and a Garmin GPS. I take the map along but almost never pull it out to use it. It is nice seeing the big picture before the days ride though. I have zero problems with the GPS and have had it for 5 years. I love it so much better then getting the map out to figure out where you...

I would rather put an inexpensive Garmin GPS on that works just fine with VV mapping on my sled then pay most likely many hundreds of dollars extra to get a factory installed mapping setup.

Is this new shock just for the single shot skid? What shock is it? Nicks newer Vector is a 2016.
