IMO the stock skis are junk. I used Slydog Trail Hounds with 6" Studboy Shaper bars on my 07' with the factory track and some picks improved the handling considerably. I also fixed the slop in the collector, tie rods and the lower A-arms.

I would check the valves myself. I had left my snowblower in my shed one year without replacing my bait boxes since mice like to camp out in my shed over the winter and eat my grass seed. One of the little bastards managed to sneak into the intake and leave a bunch of nuts or something inside...

I used a tunnel close off through Schmidt bros but in all honesty just a piece of quality aluminum will do the trick. I drilled a few holes on top of the heat shield between the gas tank and exhaust to allow some air circulation, it was also recommended since the air through the gaping tunnel...

There are no other codes other than code 81 on the display. I snooped around a little bit and saw a little bit of oil sitting in the backside of the oil level plug so I would start there. Plus I understand that the float gauge inside the oil tank are prone to failure. This is especially...

The heated grip fault I can live with. I intend to fix it soon but the flashing oil light is the bigger concern. It's been a couple seasons since my last oil change since I didn't ride last year at all and the year prior I only put on maybe 300 km. Changing the oil is something that...

I had my 07 Phazer running about 3 months ago. No problems other than the battery was pooched so I fixed that. Now I got to start it and although it turns over it will not start. I get a code 81 on the dash but then I also get the flashing yellow hazard light followed by a flashing oil...

Yes...I did notice that move you made fellas...very ingenious of you. Having said that, I hate working on this thing and I was hoping the fix would not require airbox removal but I guess it sure does now.

I have approx 0.375" of bite on my studs with a 1" hacksaw. If the track tension is kept up there is little marking in the tunnel and a ton of clearance on the front exchanger. There is no way to add protection to the front exchanger. Its a solid aluminum piece with ribbed fins. It slots in...

I had my Phazer all torn apart last year as my jackshaft bearing decided to let go whilst flying down a lake. Now that's all been fixed up and the sled back together. Hoping to beat last years record short season of 27 days only to discover my Phazer has a super low idle. The weird part...

Since I already have my sled apart fixing other things, I decided to take out and inspect my rear skid. I discovered that one of the bolts that hold the bellcrank shaft which connects the center shock to the pivot link had come loose and egged out the hole. So there in lies the problem of...

Hey Mooseman, Turns out it was not my reverse gearbox. My lower drive bearing on the chaincase side disappeared. The bolts holding the bearing housing started to loosen from the vibration. One of the little bastards popped out and mangled my drive chain which mangled the top gear and bend...

Phazer's have a lot of issues with the secondary shaft/reverse gearbox which as someone already pointed out in not part of the chaincase but is mounted behind it under the exhaust manifold. It was explained to me that the servo motors like to lose it's holding power over time preventing the dog...

SBM only charges $50 to beef up your pivot link, certainly way cheaper then buying the billet piece. If there was anything I took away from buying an 07" Phazer is never buy the first year of a new model because there is a lot of stuff Yamaha slipped up on when it comes to the 07' Phazer. They...

I haven't taken this apart yet but thanks to Mooseman for the videos. Does this gearbox really share lubrication duties with the chaincase? Does anyone have a photo to show where this grommet and oil pipe mates up to the backside of the chaincase? I often wonder if this issue could stem from a...

I understand your point of view for the running boards but do you still not have ice build up in the tunnel in spite of it being closed off? I closed my 07" tunnel openings and I still have ice build up in the rear and along the sides. Those running boards are pimp and I often wonder if I...

Wouldn't the individual benefit more from buying a Nytro? Suggesting that after buying the sled, then having to sink more money into rail extensions and a longer track that is still going to be turned by a wee 500cc engine, it probably would be more beneficial to just spring for a Nytro..then...

This is now the second time this has happened to me (first time 09) where my 07 GT servo motor failed. I have had all the common Phazer issues, Not shifting into reverse, rocking the sled, pushing the reverse button with nothing happening. etc. It would appear that it would be a design flaw...

Hey everybody, Just wondering what sway bar settings to use. I have not tinkered with this much and prefer not to modify the settings of my front dampers. Ie: cranking up the springs. I've read that some people remove the sway bar altogether and while this would seem like a good idea if I...

I think the only major change in the rear skid between the 07 model and the rest is that clever little billet coupling link. The stock 07 link was a welded steel piece with a bunch of lightening holes in it. They were thin and poorly reinforced and often cracked under stress. For 2008, Yamaha...

Would it be a good idea for me to remove my sway bar? I ride 90% on trails ad hate how, when railing a corner my inside ski lifts and sometims really lifts to the point I feel I may tip over. I the bar set to hard for the longest time and then just recently changed it back to medium, now I...
