    Touch Up Paint for SW Blue RTX LE?

    Unfortunately my season has come to an end. Pretty awesome though, after curious start with roller issues etc. My last belt lasted 1,600 miles. 2,000 miles total on SW, 300 miles on Apex. But for normal wear and tear sled held up great. So, does anyone have the color code or can you suggest a...

    Check Primary Rollers

    RTX had a vibration at around 5,900 rpm. Felt like belt would blow. Then it would go smooth again at 6,200. Quick check if the rollers revealed one that would not move at all. After taking it off to look at it, the bushing inside was not set in all of the way and put pressure on the spacers and...

    Thoughts on RTX LE 129

    Went for my inaugural ride this week end. I like trail riding and the quick response of the 129 length. I also like to ride middle to back of sled as far as seating position, moving up either inside panel when riding aggressive. It's what works for me as I am tall and heavy. Sled has 135 studs...

    Sold Bigblue1(RX 1) but...

    So after 12 years of running perfect, I sold my RX 1 to a friend. Unfortunately, while he's a good friend he is somewhat of a huckleberry. I put 15,000 miles plus of meticulously maintained miles, though hard driven, on my RX 1 which I converted to Rapex 1. Having ridden a newer Apex for the...

    Secondary Spring Tension

    Trying to learn as much as i can about clutch tuning. Although I know its a never ending journey.....test...test and then test again. I getting primary figured out and the different helixes as well. There was a thread talking about torquing up secondary spring. What actually happens when you...

    RTX LE 129 Torsion Springs

    Still waiting for the call from dealer. Blahh! But, as I have put together my accessory wish list for him, I was wondering about the T springs. I am coming from a newer Apex on which I added the heavier spring since I am 280lbs. Worked perfect with stock valving up to 3,800 miles and have just...

    Sidewinder Roller Secondary On Apex

    Just curious. Anyone think this would work? If so advantages if any? Just thinking rollers would have lightning back shift plus longer legs.

    Apex Quality

    Working on my 2011 Apex this past weekend. What a pleasure doing basic maintenance on a machine built with so much quality and attention to detail. 5,000 miles and it looks new. This one will stay in the stable for a long time. Just sold my 2005 RX and it looks mint too. Amazing. What's the...

    Any Thoughts on Sidewinder MPG?

    My buds dealer installed turbo used a lot of gas last year. Could barely make 100 miles. Just curious if it should be a concern given how much we will likely hit the flipper.

    C&A Razor Skis Make Newer Apex Handle Excellent

    Probably talked about a lot, but here is my two cents. I've been riding in Quebec for over twenty years. The trails are mixed depending where you ride. Nearer the center and south of the province, trails are more twisty and undulating from peaks to valleys, farm fields etc. As you head north...
