    Noise in chain case area 2012 apex xtx.

    I looked at that and needle bearings looked ok not marked up at all. I did put some white grease on them and I did take sand paper to the sleeve to clean it up. Its really loud you would think it would be real obvious to see.

    I was thinking of replacing the wifes axle this summer on her 03 RX1. She has 10000 on her sled. Are they common to breaking like the Apex's. It seem you here more about the Apex breaking than the RX1.
