Well just an update on my friends at hygear.If it wasn’t for this forum or site I might not have been able to get the linkage on my viper. The customer support or lack of support was awful. I was humiliated by one person indicating that I could not conceptualize the system, I lacked any...

No it’s a 141” plus on their site, when I ordered the kit it says it’s for a 2015 stxdx

Hey members I’m trying to install the 141 linkage kit from hygear on my 2015 stxdx. That cam for the rear shock mount doesn’t seem to want to go. Hygear got smart alex with me because I said their YouTube video wasn’t very helpful and the included instructions are not helpful, pictures are very...

Well I guess the modern sleds just aren’t made for the winter anymore, period. What I’m gonna do is drill a couple small holes in the housing and cover them with frogskinz, this way the moisture will have a way to possibly escape. Just worth a try, can’t loose out.

Why? Of course it’s a snowmobile, it doesn’t get protected in a garage there must be a catch here?

Well members it’s that reverse issue again on my 2015 viper! Parked it in the spring and now went to move it and of course the reverse doesn’t work,again. So I checked everything electrical and found the motor wasn’t working,again. Removed the motor and took it apart to find a lot of moisture...

So 2015 machine , I changed out the whole reverse motor and drive to an updated one a couple years ago, worked fine until trying to use it in the fall after the machine sat through the summer. it had nothing dead, bingo. So I found that the plugs or connectors some how had a bit of green inside...

Okay I know it's a tiring issue but I need to know how to test why the reverse isn't coming on at all on my '15 viper. I press the button and there's nothing, when the actuator was screwy the lights used to dim indicating that there was draw but the actuator wasn't engaging. Now it has nothing...

Personally Dan get rid of it and save your rebuild money, Get a different one and you'll be way happier with the ride.

Hello members, firstly I just changed out the dreaded fox float air shock on the rear of my '15 stxdx, wow I wished I did this years ago!! Changed it to a MTX coil over gas from the same year. Okay what I would like to know is from experienced drivers is this , I installed a front or center...

Sorry you can clean the armature and brushes with extra fine steel wool

It’s more than likely the drive motor, if you notice that with the motor motor running and you press the reverse switch, if you noticed the headlight dims it’s the drive motor motor jammed up.You can take the motor apart and check the armature which is probably green at the brushes.,or replace...

everyone has a different opinion on this. Last year when my vipers top bearing went out I really looked into this subject of oil capacity and type of oil to use. There where a lot of threads on this and it all led up to a common reason for wear in that chain case. Not quit enough oil and not...

Hello guys', more pieces falling off my vippy! Okay first off that stupid seat heat switch it finally broke off somewhere, now I cannot find it on partfinder only thing I can see is a switch #8JP-H2627-00 but in the diagram it's just some kind of a circle? Another piece that's now hanging is the...

Happy new years fellows. Okay on my 2015 viper sdxtx 141 I want to improve the rear ride, only option is to go with hygears products as they have several options. So who out there has installed there linkage, the reservoir, the linkage and reservoir, or the coil over shock on there sled? I want...

Update to the socket tool! Just in case, I fudged up, the socket has to be like at least 5" long to fit over the shaft! My bad, that's what experimenting is about. Just cut the 1/2" end drive off and added pipe welded back together worked like a charm.

Thanks Wannaviper I talked to hygear tech today actually gave me some great information on where I want to begin with the ride upgrade. It's the same problem I find that when we as consumers buy a BrandNew product we're always spending hundreds of extra dollars on improvements later to get what...

Well for sure I am looking at cost for sure on the parts, but I ride mainly open lake and not so well groomed bush trails which can be very bumpy at times. What's happening with my original setup is I have to pump up that shock to at least 150 lbs., so it doesn't bottom out on the trails then on...

Hey guys' been seriously looking at hygear rear skid update, but which parts do a I go with to give me satisfaction on my sled and riding? My sled is an 2015 STXDX 141" so on there site I can go with a linkage, then I can go with linkage and air reservoir, then I can go with just a air reservoir...

Hello folks last spring I was on the edge with my sled as I did a complete chain case bearing rebuild and brake bearing. As some of us know that when the brake disc is removed the hell begins with getting the brakes to bleed. Well I began my venture again here the other day and tried all the...
