    Rear suspension upper arm problem?

    Those arms are on a splined shaft. Are they both turned the same?

    Thanks for the information. That's what I was hoping to hear.

    High Windshield On Factory Brackets?

    My Phazer MTX came from the factory with the low (cold) windshield. I'm doing a lot of longer rides in sub zero weather and need more wind protection. Do the 18"and 21" windshields fit the factory bracket? Also, has anybody had experience with the high windshield. Particularly, is the upper...

    Auxiliary Lighting

    I'm looking at putting some auxiliary lighting on my MTX. Does anybody know how much "extra" power I have to work with before overloading the stator? I'm only looking at around 30-55watts.

    to sway or not to sway

    Does the FX and XTX run the same sway bar?

    Sometimes a weird noise on takeoff.

    My MTX does that as well. I'm pretty sure it is the secondary not responding/backshifting fast enough. The secondary needs to be turning to slide the belt back to the outside. Jamming on the brakes locks up the secondary and keeps it shifted out. So now when you get back on the throttle the...

    144" to 151" Extensions or Set-back?

    I rather have the WHOLE track trying to climb onto the top of the snow than just the front foot. Approach angle can be equated to having a bigger tire. Bigger tires have a shallower approach angle and roll down the road easier. Pulling it up puts the of contact further back along the skid...

    144" to 151" Extensions or Set-back?

    I believe running the strap full loose would worsen the approach angle and shortening would improve it.

    144" to 151" Extensions or Set-back?

    Set 3rd hole for off trail, 4th for on trail. 3rd hole on trail I feel there is too much steering effort and the front shock bottoms more due to reduced travel.

    Question about the limiter strap

    First off, ride the sled. There is no way to accurately judge stiffness in the garage. Springs carry the weight, shocks provide the dampening to high speed and low speed bumps. Shortening the limiter reduces the amount of available travel on the center shock so leaving it loose lets the...

    2007 Phazer MTX hard starting when hot

    I have noticed that mine does that as well. I just determined/assumed it was that once I stopped, the heat from the engine heat soaked the intake air temp sensor causing it to read a higher temp and therefore not give enough fuel to want to start. I remedy by giving it throttle while starting...

    2007 Phazer MTX hard starting when hot

    Do you mean after you have run it, shut it off, and go back to start it 10-15 min later?

    Articulated rails on MP

    That is the XU platform, I believe it is the same as the skandic, also on the expeditions and tundra I believe. As an accessory for the summits you can put on a whole new set of rails with articulating assembly built in. It looks like any tail landing would be brutal on the suspension.

    Articulated rails on MP

    I believe the articulated rails are where the rails are shorter and the rear axle is mounted on a mini swing arm of sorts. It can be locked down for maximum floatation or allowed to hinge so when you are backing up the rear wheels pick up quite a bit and climb to the top of the snow instead of...

    Draining the fuel

    I'd put small jumper wires on the relay or right to the fuel pump itself. Take the pressure line off the pump and utilize the fuel pump to empty the tank for me. The phazer tank looks pretty easy to siphon though, no filler neck to thread hose down.

    144" to 151" Extensions or Set-back?

    This post is inspired by me just finishing shoveling my MTX out of the yard. Front skis riding nicely on the snow, track dug 3' down to hardpack. Something has to change. I've had my MTX a few years and never been completely satisfied with deep snow performance. I feel that the MTX is better...

    Still Riding?

    Tug Hill April 20th Easter Morning ride near my camp on tug hill. Snow was hard as a rock but no hyfax problems. Needed to stuff a little snow in the radiator to help keep it cool though.

    No new yamahas for me

    You must be talking about Ingles? If yes, the people that are doubting you have never been there. I've called up on a Sunday with a grocery list of parts (pistons, rings, misc gaskets, rave valves) and everything was in stock and they were open until 3PM, on a Sunday.
