Guys, Stopped by my dealer today in Central NY and they are blowing out their last two sleds. '09 XTX for $7250 plus sales tax and NY registration. '08 FX Nytro for about $7000. Kinda wish I had waited and maybe I would have bought that new XTX. Why the hell does Yamaha always give...

Hey, I just bought a new sled and am not running nitrous this year....although I may change my mind. Anyway, if you are in the Rochester, NY (Victor) area, I have about 40 lbs of nitrous I am looking to get rid of. PM me if you are looking for someone to fill your bottles. I'll keep my tank...

O.K., Here is the deal. I have an '06 Apex that is whipped and in need of replacing. I love the Apex motor and after many mods, like how it rides. The main things I don't like are...The steering sucks...After new skiis it steers better but it is really sloppy. The sled is heavy and is more...

Who's running asphalt this year? Where are you running? Running anything special? I should be running my Apex again with just a little bit of Nitrous at Esta In Cicero, NY.

My Hyfax/sliders are worn out on my ZX2. What do I replace them with??? Are they the same as the Ski Doo's? Personally, I think I was running my track too tight.

I just finished putting my semi-rebuilt engine in. I made 100% sure that my cams and #1 piston and crank were all lined up top dead center. I even rotated the engine around by hand and double checked again before I put valve cover on. Everything in Cam/crank timing looked dead on the money...

laker, I pm'd you but it is taking forever to go through. Quick question, Where can I buy the tool to remove and install the valve springs in the Cylinder head? What is the tool called??? Or, How can I do it without any special tool? Thanks

Bad news for me. I've had various problems with my sled so finally got around to compression testing it. Results are not good. Cyl #1 170 lbs Cyl #2 160 lbs Cyl #3 15 Lbs Cyl #4 170 lbs Also, when I pulled that plug, the ground strap was smashed into the electrode. The engine believe it or...

I just noticed that several of my center studs have hit my exhaust pipe several times and almost ripped a hole through my pipe. I am running Woody's 1 3/8" I did run about 50 mile with the revolver bolt missing and track was all out of whack. Maybe this caused the problem. Anyone else have...

I've been lurking this section for a week or so and am most likely going with some boost other than nitrous next year. I ride New York and Quebec so elevation isn't much of a factor. I usually ride between 1000 feet and 2000 feet. I'm looking for a sled that I can have some power and pretty...

Anybody know how to set up a new 800R with X package suspension? My buddy weighs about 200 lbs and cannot get his new sled to ride worth a crap. He actually quit riding after 90 miles because he was too sore...lol Anyway, this is a serious question. I am not trying to dirt his new sled...even...

Does anyone have their nitrous hooked up to activate from their TPS switch? I am trying to set mine up to do so but am not getting a "good" reading from my TPS sensor. I have been told that the sensor has 3 wires. one is constant 5 volts dc the second is ground and may read .0 - .5...

Hey guys, I installed my ZX2 according to instructions and notice that I only have 1/8" - 3/16" clearance between the lug on my track and the tunnel protector. Anyboby else that has one installed, please let me know what clearance you have. 1/8" seems awefully tight. I am running a...

I have my bottle mounted in the front of the sled where the voltage regulator once went. I thought I remember someone saying that a bottle will fit in the trunk. I tried my 2.5lb bottle and no way is it fitting in my trunk. I'd buy new bottles if I could figure out where to install and extra...

Anyone see this Yamaha guy crashing at a drag strip? Anybody know who it is and where it was??? Here is a link to the "clean" video. http://youtube.com/watch?v=lSvzs1qDYmk P.S. I think the dragstrip is Island Dragway in Great Meadows, NJ

Here's mine :) .............................................................................:nos :nos :nos.................................................................

Hey guys, when i'm running on the asphalt and let off the gas at the end, I am getting a lot of backfiring. I also get it on the return lane if I rev it up and let off. It only happens when I am off the throtte. I notice it in the winter also but not quite as much. Anybody know what may be...

Anyone have good pics of their clutch guard on an Apex or Attak? I understand I might need one for my sled. Or, does anyone have one that they want to sell...??? Or, anyone interested in building one? How much $$$ ?

You guys see or hear about the Glenn Hall / Jason Stoviac D&D F1200 dynotesting? It looks like they got about 368 HP out of that sled on a Boondocker Nitrous Kit. Obviously the engine has other mods but no turbo or blower. That's pretty impressive. Man, I'd like to run that sled...

I'm in the process of getting started for some weekend asphalt fun. I will be running for FUN but still wanna be fast and safe. So far, I am getting 15 X 121 track, skis, and leathers. I need help with modifying my stock rear skid to work on pavement. I have an '06 Yamaha Apex and will be...
