Mono is an easy install. You can use the Mono mounting brackets as they already line up with a few of the rivet holes and then you can use the bracket as a guide to drill the rest. There was no measuring other than the hole position for the R/A control. Much better ride than Pro Action.

Thanks buddy- you don't happen to have a spare RX-1 ski and a trip south of sudbury planned do you? The roads ate one of mine last weekend.

It looks like the skis are different from 03 RX-1 to 06 Apex but if you replace the whole ski assembly is the mount the same? In other words if you take the ski and the saddle off the RX-1 can you install the 06 Apex ski and saddle with no issues?

I have an RX-1 for sale in the classified section that has an Apex seat and beefed up Mono skid along with many more upgrades. Nice thing about the RX-1 is the one piece cowl makes it so easy for maintenance- and cheaper than an Apex too.

Don't add enough oil to hydro-lock the pistons or you will be in big trouble.

My guess would be side heat exchangers (been there) but both sides at once? If it is coming down the tunnel from above the exchangers then I think you have to look at the cooler at the front of the tunnel.

These sections help more than the exploded views sometimes:

Try pressurizing the fuel tank by blowing air into the vent tube (clutch side) and holding your thumb on it before cranking. If it starts quicker that way then you know that fuel is not getting to the carbs quick enough and you can start eliminating things from there.

Rolling is not good as the oil can get into the cylinders and ruin the motor if it is running. If you tip try and hit the kill switch ASAP and if you have to put it on its side to work on it make sure the oil tank is on the low side (tip to the right). Edit: There is a valve you can buy to...

I upgraded to the nut when I did mine and it did come loose once so I'm not sure which is the better set up. I think the nut was added in 2005. In the photos I think the collars are reversed, shouldn't the taper go the other way and the nut goes inboard?

Any progress? You have to post pictures or it didn't happen.

I have a complete document of upgrades and changes that I made to the mono when I swapped it that I will e-mail you. Things like beefing up the areas known to crack, putting better grease fittings on, better Hyfax mounting screws, etc. If you get the factory mounting plates for the Mono you...

Ok, maybe this trip will be all business :o| If I have to drive a few hours I might as well drive home and use the pass that I already paid for. Thanks for the info.

I might be attending a trade show around first week of March in Novi and was thinking about bringing the sled down with me to make it a business / PLEASURE trip. What would it cost for us Canucks to get set up with a weekend (or week) pass and where would be the best places to stay / ride near Novi?

I used to pick up this product every time I went to the U.S. but now I see we have it Home Depots up here in Canada. It's a little pricey (about $10.95) but many people on TY swear by it and say that it is better than Seafoam. They usually keep it near the lawn mowers.
