    Looking at purchasing a Sidewinder, need opinions and advice!

    I currently ride an 06 Apex GT studded with a clutch kit, I have been looking to upgrade to something easier to stand on for a tall guy and while I love the Apex, it’s starting to get boring. I’ve ridden a few vipers and liked them except for the lack of power and smooth acceleration as compared...

    Should I buy a Nytro?

    I am currently on a 2006 Apex GT, with a clutch kit. Absolutely love the sled, but it is heavy and not the most convenient for aggressive riding in rough trails. I'm looking a 09 and newer Nytros, would like to hear opinions that Nytro owners have. I ride aggressive and mostly on trails, I'm a...

    Hanging up in Reverse

    Sled has mostly sat all winter, unloaded it the other day to park it in the garage and it was hanging up in reverse. The beeper would be on and it was in forward, or it was in forward but stuck in reverse. I know the adjustments can be off on the linkage but I have two other possible ideas of...

    Drag race adjustments?

    Going to be racing on a snow covered lake, 06 Apex GT, as far as performance, all stock except for Pioneer Performance Clutch kit. Just wondering if anyone has played with secondary spring adjustments or made any adjustments to suspension that were beneficial. I will be trail riding to get there...

    Carb sync tool

    I've seen many of the homemade tools to sync carbs and have no problem making one of my own, my issue is I'm not sure where the hoses actually connect on the carbs, my carbs are freshly cleaned, new exhaust donuts and figured it's time to sync the carbs, I'm sure they're way off. Anyone with...

    Taller Riser?

    My 06 Apex Gt has the stock riser on it, I have a friend with what I believe is the mountain riser on an Apex GT, it looks the same just taller, who may want to down size. Has anyone done this switch? Can you run all the same cables/wires while jumping up to the taller riser? The other sled has...

    Adjusting preload on springs

    I'm sure there must be a type of spanner wrench for adjusting preload on these things, I have always just sprayed them down with WD 40 and used a punch and hammer and lightly tapped them around the adjust preload. I was doing this on my 06 Apex Gt rear shock and it seems like the first coller is...

    First rides on 06 Apex GT (COLD HANDS)

    Had the Apex out for the first time this past weekend and on New years eve, Absolutly love this sled! Corner to corner it is amazing how much of a difference there is between it and my RX1 (stock clutching) It wanted to dart a little bit a few times, but nothing like the RX1 was when it was on...

    Coolant change

    What is the easiest way to change the coolant in the RX1? Before I do it the hard way I thought I'd see if someone has experience with it on here. Thanks!

    Apex GT vs.

    So I have a few buddies that don't like to get beat, they are Polaris lovers and like to talk trash until they need me to tow their broken sled back home with my RX1 :sled1: , this will be my first season with the Apex. My one buddy just picked up an older abused 440 after running his mouth all...

    Fuel Filters

    Since I have never done them on my 03 RX1 I figured I should this year. What's the trick to getting to these things and changing them? I will be doing the exhaust donuts too so I will have the tank off. If I remember what I've read on here in the past they're a little tricky?

    2006 Apex GT, loose upper A-arm bolts?

    Was working on the sed today, while under the hood I decided to grab the nuts on the upper A arm where it goes through the bulkhead and give it a twist. To my surprise it turned about a quarter turn. The sled was on a sled lift so it had no weight on the suspension. Do these bolts not squeeze...

    2006 Yamaha Apex GT brake light

    I have a 2006 Apex GT with 1400 miles on it, just purchased at the end of last year. I have only ran it through the backyard on minimal snow once, Impressive is all I can say. I love it. The one thing I noticed is that when I squeeze the brake normal the light comes on like it should, but if I...

    2006 Apex GT HOLY #@$!

    Going from a stock 03 and 05 RX1 to a clutched 06 GT, I was nothing but shocked in the difference. This APex pulls insanely hard compared to the RX1's. I was in my backyard approximately 3 acres long and hit 80 before I got out of it. I am so happy I sold my 05 for this sled, I knew the apex's...

    2003 RX1 Maintenance

    2006 Apex GT Buy or not to Buy?

    I have a chance to buy an 06 Apex Gt with 1000 miles. He is asking 4500, I would sell one of my RX1's to upgrade to the Apex. Just curious if any Apex owners think this is a good deal and worth the upgrade?

    Rx1 Windshield

    Just curious if there are any tricks to the windshields on these things, I cracked the trim piece and pushed the windhield out of place while also cracking the corner of the "plastic pod" on the corners of the windshield. (I guess these heavy Rx1's don't like to be track side up :o| :o| ) I was...

    Exhaust Leak

    My 03 Rx1 slightly changed in the sound of the exhaust, it started to bother me while I was riding so I stopped and covered up the exhaust and it does not hesitate or die out at all, just keeps on running like there's nothing wrong. When I do this to my 05 it starts to stall out almost...
