    Thanks for everything, who knows I may be back!

    Well it didn't sell for what I thought it should be worth, just such a dam nice machine I decided to keep it! Still love my Apex, maybe too much for a loaner sled, will probably lend the new sled to good buddies who used to ride and keep my SE for a while longer.

    Thanks for everything, who knows I may be back!

    Just wanted to thank you all for the last 10 years or so of great information, entertainment and product info. I have decided to jump ship to Doo. I may regret it and may be back but for now I'm selling my 2011 SE with 19,000 almost trouble free kms and have purchased a leftover 2016 Renegade...

    Bent a arms right side Apex 13 SE

    Mirror image of my damage a month ago. Thankful the ears didn't break off the bulkhead. I took a super hard hit and am amazed it didn't do further damage. Bet if it was a Poo Doo or AC would have been a Total Loss LOL. Trailing arm suspension would probably bend just as bad and take out running...

    Maintenance ?

    16,500 miles is huge mileage on the original track, must not spin too much! While track is being done, probably best at that mileage to do the jackshaft & driveshaft bearings, all bearings in chaincase, seals & o rings ect...Ready for another 16,500 LOL

    Question about eps

    Always ran OE ski with Snowtrackers (semi) until bent ski & both left A arms recently. Wanted to try the Tuners so replaced with them. Not quite as good as trackers but never had the light go on either way. You could be right about agressive ski& carbides could trick the system into thinking...

    Question about eps

    Hi Grimm, Sorry your having issues with your EPS. If you don't mind me asking, how many Kms on your sled? Almost 18k on my SE and no problems at all with EPS. I havn't heard of anyone else with issues. So far my SE has been super reliable and I plan on keeping it for a few more seasons. Good...

    Dual carbides or shaper bars on your Apex?

    Just switched to Tuners with 6" in & out carbides. Have been running Semi Agressive Snowtrackers for 15,000kms on my 2011SE and have been very happy. So far Tuners are "Almost" as good at everything. Certain conditions will have them darting a little, nothing to complain about. Turning seems to...

    Yamaha Tuner Skis still Darting

    Amso make sure your adjusting your floats with the ski in the air, not loaded. If air pressure is set on the ground there is no where near enough pressure in them and the sled will act insane, deadly darting. Yeah I learned that from experience, just forgot to lift it up before checking...Just...

    Limiter Strap Question

    If I remember correctly your RTX is a Mono skid. Limiter strap on both my 06 & 11 Apex's is always very slack even tightened up 2 holes. Your front & rear pre-load will have a small effect on this also. If it handles well as is, don't worry be happy!

    Viper issues Fixed!

    So I'm guessing you had an Apex before the Viper? New to EPS? If so, you're gonna Love It! Welcome back to the sweetest engine on snow!

    Remove Mega Float

    Easy Peasy! just remove schrader valve. (make sure rear end is suspended of course!) I think I also unbolted rear of transfer rod for access, can't remember but is very easy.

    13 apex a arm issues???

    Have the Yamaha Accessory Oilite kit in my hands SMA-8FTFR-KT, front bushing kit. Most fit but knuckle bushings are smaller on the MY 06-10. Couldn't use the knuckle bushings, OE are much bigger. Maybe something changed in the kit? Or mine is mis-packaged?

    13 apex a arm issues???

    Amazingly strong those A arms, definately hit something hard. Bent my left side last week. Probably need upper & lower arms, inner bolts x 2, outer knuckle bolts x 2 and possibly collars on the knuckle too. Check the collars carefully, probably mushroomed. Not too big of a job as long as your...

    2011 Apex Se Fox Float 2 Shock Pressure

    Depends on if you're setting it in a warm garage or outside in -12C like today or -25C in the morning. Will vary greatly. I set mine inside @ 65lbs inside @ +20C, drops a good 5-10lbs @ 20 below. I weigh 195lbs all geared up, higher if you weigh more. Don't forget to set them with the ski in the...
