    Oil filter access plate screw heads stripped

    Guys, I jacked up my sled to remove the two screws which keep the oil filter access door shut. Both screw heads have stripped to where nothing turns them, even trying to hammer a torx bit in. What should I do to remove them? What are the replacements in case I destroy these?

    2011 RS Vector GT Reverse Gear troubles...

    If I put my Vector GT into reverse, the beeper turns on but you just hear a whining noise like the gears are lightly grinding but not engaging. Sometimes pulling the gear lever slightly more, or just applying pressure causes reverse to engage, but if you don't hold the lever it will often pop...

    Problems with belt smoking and sled feeling like brakes are on...2011 Vector

    I'm having an issue where the snowmobile belt starts to smoke after just a mile or two down the trail. The sled seems to be operating fine, except if I let off, it seems like the brakes are slightly on. The remedy is to put the sled in reverse, back up a couple of feet, throw it back into...

    2011 Vector GT - right grip heater failed, needs slides, maybe more

    I bought my 2011 RS Vector GT "used" with 48 miles on the clock. 5 years later it has 3000 miles on it. To date, the only thing I've ever done for maintenance is change the oil and filter, and occasionally grease the fittings under the sleds. So I went to change the oil again this past...

    Clutch is way too abrupt - how do I fix?

    So I have a 2011 RS Vector GT, 100% stock. The sled has about 700 miles on it now, like new. At low speeds, around 12mph, the clutch engages and disengages very, very abruptly. The whole snowmobile lurches and you can hear the drivetrain engage / disengage. I like to ride fast, but...

    How much horsepower does a 2011 RS Vector GT have?

    So, I had assumed the fuel-injected 2011 Vector made somewhere between 125-130bhp. Yesterday I was reading the service manual which has detailed specifications. It states the engine has "118.6bhp @ 8250RPM" and "81.35lb-ft @ 6500RPM." So which is it? The only caveat is the service manual had...

    Does Y.E.S. Warranty cover the seat?

    My 2011 Vector has the Y.E.S. warranty ending in 2017. Shortly after I started riding it this season, a small tear in the stitching of the seat cover appeared, right at the rear of the seat area. It has grown to about 2" on this seam. Will the YES warranty cover it?

    Any side effects from tipping sled over?

    Had a bad experience yesterday snowmobiling in northern NH. Drove 3.5 hours to get there, backed off my trailer too fast while trying to turn and under throttle (stupid mistake, I know...but I'm used to a Polaris XC which sits a lot lower and is more forgiving), and managed to dump the thing on...
