    Where do I start?

    Can anyone help shed any light on my latest issue? A little background, hit a deer about a year ago and was finally able to pick-up my sled this past Nov. sled had about 500 miles on it when it happened. All seemed good and I was able to put a few miles on but then the sled had to go back for...

    Almost had to walk home...Need a hand

    Here is the long and short of it. Brought my sled in to have the jackshaft replaced, the dealer did it while I waited since it's a 6hr rd trip for me. Everything seemed fine, after about 2 miles I started to loose speed then there was a ratcheting/grinding sound and then I could barley move...

    Secondary Spring Setting

    I've read posts where people have changed the settings (twist?) on their secondary but I'm curious as to why and cause and effect. From what I can tell stock setting is 3-3=60 but I see some people stating #'s like 6-1,6-2 etc. On a side note THIS WEATHER SUCKS, rain and warm temps water in...

    Born Again!

    Can you give me a HALALULA!! After 10 months my Rage is back in my garage!! The pic's below start with the deer damage and end with the sled almost done, still waiting on graphics and have to tie up a few loose ends but it's drivable. I used a mix of parts from a few 05-06 models...gotta love...

    RS Values vs RX

    I was curious what my Rage was worth for trade-in so I went to KBB and was surprised to see that, when compared to the RX's, they don't take quite as big of a hit as the RX's. Either way it's a big drop, yes there are tons of variables but I for one was pleasantly surprised. Now all we need is...

    Attack Seating Position

    There might be an Attack(snowmobile not heart...I hope :D ) in my furture and I'm looking for some real world feed back. After watching the Yamaha Dvd of the sleds with the rider forward seating it appears the riders are 5'5" 180ish and I'm 6'1" 250lbs with poor knees :( . I'm sure the...

    FRT Lower "A" arms

    Just curious if anybody else has checked their lower frt "A" arms for cracks. Both my left and right lowers have cracked welds and stress fractures mostly by where the shock attaches. I'm sure Yamaha will replace them but I only put 500 or so miles on last year. I'm beginning to think an...

    Is the Frame bent?

    I'm looking for input on situation with dealer. Below are a few pic's of my sled after my deer hit in late Jan. 05'. My local dealer is worthless and I think they're trying to pull a fast one by fixing my sled(8 months and still counting) instead of totaling it. Right away when I first took...

    Need A Little Help

    I finally got the call from the dealer that the parts are in to fix my Rage. Only took 5 months!!!! I asked him if he could do the clutch rattle fix while they are doing the rest and he claims there is 0 info on this. I know someone(Tork?) had listed the PN but I've been unable to track it...

    06 Rage gets Mono

    Glad to see they didn't change to much so that I'd have get one and since I ordered my replacements parts as Candy Red it’ll seem like it is a 06. Wonder if the Mono suspension would be backwards compatible?? :yam:

    Candy Apple Rage?

    Looking for input on color. Due to my recent deer encounter I will be replacing the hood, gas tank cover and seat. My Rage is silver now but I also like the blue and candy apple(is the candy color the same on all the yammies?). I am leaning towards the candy with the Venture hood flames and...

    Don't let this happen to you.

    Or maybe the subject should be "don't be as stupid as me"!! Did my first oil/chaincase change today and it's kind of a bitch. Not so much the process as the sloppy wet floor I had to work in. I had finished double checking everything, started it up to check for leaks...none :D . Went to get...

    Hot Primary Clutch....Normal?

    Came in from a nice ride last night (4" of new fluffy stuff) and when I was putting the sled away I noticed steam coming from the vents. Opened the hood and felt the primary (HOT) felt the secondary (warm) I never notice this on the cats I have owned and am wondering if this is ok. Lots of...

    Rage Ski Shim

    Has anybody done this to a Rage yet? After reading some posts I started to think that part of my problem with my sled might be that the front of the skis might be digging in. I didn't really have any problems with darting, but I have had very little time on any trails and snow conditions are...

    Suspension cause & affect

    Looking for a little help with my Rages suspension. I actually watched the suspension DVD that came with my sled. It was somewhat helpful since I am a newbie but It's like they didn't finish. What I am trying to figure out is the limiter strap and control rods, what would cause me to change...

    RS Carb Sync

    I need to sync the carbs on my Rage and I am little confused as to how they lay out on the RS engine. My best guess is the carb on the non-clutch side is fixed (no vac tube just a cap on top and no adjustment screw) and this should be the reference carb and the other 2 carbs are snyc'ed to it...
