    Stock rear torsion spring size on 2015 Viper LTX DX?

    Is the 2016 spring round? You say 0.394" diameter which would be softer. If square, it's not much smaller than 0.406". I'll keep investigating, our sledding season likely just ended, went from perfect last weekend to warm and melting for a few days.

    Stock rear torsion spring size on 2015 Viper LTX DX?

    I'd much appreciate if someone could measure the stock spring size. Mine are 0.406" square, the same as the accessory heavy duty spring listing. Looking to confirm if stock is smaller.

    School me on communicators...please.

    I forgot to mention intercom is full duplex, you can hear and talk at the same time. VOX can be setup I think. Clear line of sight: 1 to 2 km (1 mile) Through the bush: half that at most On the other side of a hill: half that again My wife likes to be at the back of the pack so she doesn't...

    School me on communicators...please.

    I can only speak about the Sena SMH-10 units. The wife and I have used a set for the last four years sledding up here in Northeastern Ontario and we love them. Carole really likes knowing when oncoming traffic and big bumps are ahead. The battery lasts all day with heavy communication back...

    Hornepayne - Wawa - Foyelet riding April 3-7 - 2018

    Kirkland Lake trails were awesome with only a few thin /dirt/gravel spots last weekend. They were flat and only a few trails were icy because they had been groomed the night before. With the snow we had this week, the trails will be awesome for a last run this weekend.

    Steering help sr viper

    The steering post does look like it's at an angle. If I remember right, it looks like it is bent to the right as it goes forward into the engine compartment. I didn't check but it may just behave like you say when turning.

    Anyone have Vector to Viper regrets?

    I put about 1000km on the Viper so far and yes, the sound is different but I'm growing to like the throaty rumble. I don't find it runs any worse than the vector and starts well so far but I haven't had the pleasure of starting it below -15C (5F) yet. It has always started on the first or...

    Anyone have Vector to Viper regrets?

    The riser pivots. I can adjust it so my nards are huggin the tank or back so I'm having Vector flashbacks. Not trying to convince anyone but I've found what works to keep my tailbone from killing me after a 200 km ride.

    Anyone have Vector to Viper regrets?

    I've had the new Viper L-TX DX out riding with the wife on her 2012 Vector LTX and I have to say she's constantly using a little more gas than I do. I haven't calculated the MPG but on a 15L fill-up she would use a couple more litres. This was the same when I drove the 2008 carbureted Vector...

    Vector to Viper Upgrade???

    Well, after all the positive comments, I picked up a 2015 Viper L-TX DX with 3900 kms (2500 miles) on it and finally took it for a ride after work today. It took a few miles to get used to the stabby throttle and jerky engagement (compared to the Vector) but after a while I started settling...

    Vector to Viper Upgrade???

    Well, I picked up a 2015 Viper LTX DX this afternoon and took it for a short rip around the block and down a bumpy access trail. I wasn't dressed for the cold and the short windshield left me frozen but apart from that the Viper seems to handle the moguls much better than the Vector. I found...

    Vector to Viper Upgrade???

    I'm thinking of upgrading my 2008 Vector short track to a 2015 Viper LTX DX with 137" track. I'm 50 years old, average trail riding speeds and usually ride with the wife on her 2012 Vector LTX. My knees and hips take a pounding and I'm thinking the taller riding position will help, I'm 5'-11"...

    Phazer riser on Vector?

    I thought the Phazer riser was taller but from the PowerMadd website, it looks like they are both 6" tall.

    Phazer riser on Vector?

    Anybody try to install a handle bar riser off a Phazer onto a Vector? I bought a riser set from Royal Distributing but I have to drill out the threaded holes in the steering post and I'd rather not do that. I searched this site but nothing popped up. Any help is much appreciated, it's snowing...

    Driving or Riding

    Loggin in here from Northern Ontario where we RIDE the crap out of our snowmachines between the rocks and trees, dodging the odd moose and dogsled team and trying to make it through another ride. Just remember to stick to the right and you'll survive. When you get tired of digging your sleds...

    Propane Heat

    Works great, better than freezing. Make sure to install indirect fired and vented outside as you seem to be aware of already. Cost is insulation and temperature dependent.

    Tuner ski carbide swap

    You'll lose a lot of steering and understeer in the corners. In a turn the outside ski has the most pressure on it and as it tilts (due to spindle angle) there is less contact on the outside of the ski. That's why Yamaha has the most aggressive carbide on the inside of each ski. Just buy a...

    What's your riding conditions like?

    Trails are opening here in Kirkland Lake, Ontario and the Northern Corridor between Cochrane and Hearst has been open for a week or more. My sled is back together and I might go for a rip with the wife tomorrow.
