    Rev Limiter Question

    How do you know your hitting? I was hitting 9300-9450 today. When that high, it felt like the motor was miss-firing. Where should I be with my RPMs based on my set up(see signature)?

    Help withBackfiring and Popping

    See mods below in signature. Had K&Ns put on last year at Excell. They also installed new exhaust donuts and plugs. Only rode 2x for a total of about 300 miles last winter. The sled performed great with no issues. Put it away for the summer like I always do with 3/4 tank of gas, stabililer...

    Storing sled in enclosed trailer, good or bad idea?

    Last year I had it in my shed on my jack, so entire sled was off the ground. Last fall I bought a new enclosed trailer (ugh..rode 2x), and I plan on storing it outside at a storage unit site until next winter. I was thinking maybe I would leave the sled right in the trailer after prepping it...

    Help with pulling down the front limiter strap.

    In looking to get more ski pressure on my Pilot 5.7s, it was recommended to loosen center shock spring and pull down the strap 1 hole. Questions; 1. to accomplish that goal, do I need to do both or will 1 of those work? 2. I see how to adjust the strap, but can I do it myself or does...

    Should there be any play in the upper A Arm?

    With the front end off the ground, I can grab the upper arm and wiggle it a little. Also, lifting the ski up produces some play at the ball joint of upper arm and spindle. Normal?

    Questions for Curve XS past and present owners

    I have these and I'm thinking about dumping them for something different, like maybe Pilot 5.7s. Before I do, I'd like to get some info that might help me improve performance or confirm giving up on them. My biggest complaint is the darting, terrible on pavement, and inconsistent in the turns...

    What to do to new belt before install?

    I've heard soaking it in soap water, or scuffing the sides with steel brush. Should I do anything like that, or just slap it on? Is there a break in period? If so, what does that entail and for how many miles. Thanks.

    Is there a trick to loosen the lock nut on center shock?

    Am I correct in trying to turn it towards me when I'm on the L side of the suspension? What tool, the supplied wrench? Can't get this fVckin thing to turn either way.

    Is the '09 a workout to steer or is it my curve skiis?

    I'm trying to determine whether the hard steering is normal for this sled or these curve skiis? I have the 4" round bar on. I rode a 156 miles, and I'm sooo sore. Granted it was my first ride of the year, so some soreness is expected. The last portion of the ride was through some twisties, and I...

    Dumb Question but did studding my track make it tighter?

    I just put 96 studs down the middle, and for some reason my track seems tighter. Also I noticed that it became harder and harder to move the track by hand. By the time I was done, I could barely move the track. Am I drunk or what?

    Is this what a bent subframe looks like?

    If it is then WOW, b/c I can tell you that I never hit a single thing. Not to mention I don't ride very aggressive at all. Shock on Right side is pretty well centered and Left side is not.

    Help with Clutch Kit install

    I'm in the process of installing Ulmers stage 1 kit, and it looks like I damaged the bushing on the primary cover. It has a chunk that looks like a flap of skin. The cover looks like it will go on a little cocked, but would most likely straighten out once fully screwed in. I thought I was...

    Thinking about studding my track, good idea?

    With some new snow on our groomed trails, I feel like I'm spinning a lot. As a result, it has me thinking about studding my track. Whats the minimum number of studs I can go with and still get a significant improvement hooking up? Will 96 do it?

    Seeing a little radiator fluid under clutch side

    Just had my SE in for the 500 mile, and I told them about some radiator fluid that I see underneath. They said they "pressure tested" it and looked for leaks and see no problems. My level is fine, and I can't see where it coming from. Any thoughts?

    Is this the one, "FX10RTRSYL, LIT-12618-02-69". I want to order it from the Yamaha web site.

    Will Darting be More Pronounced on Hard, Icy Trails?

    Man was my curves hunting and darting like crazy today. Trails were hard with lots of ice and very little loose snow. Is what I felt somewhat normal for those conditions, or do I have a lot of work to do on my skis/front suspension?

    500 mile service

    Other than change oil and filter and adjust chain tension, which I think I can do, what is done. I'm trying to figure out if its worth the hassle of getting a trailer and having my sled gone for maybe a week. By no means am I great at working on my sled but I'm capable of some basics. Advice?
