Anyone tried one of these on an Attak? I have to do something other than the re-valve & shock or go to a different sled. Their video looks very compelling... TimC

I had some of the new Yamaha ice scratchers installed by a dealer along with a tow bumper & some other stuff. They used the spacer bolt that allows you to keep your idler wheels. They tuck up over the rails when not in use. I pulled them off the rail just to see how much tension they would...

I see the Yamaha website now has exhaust turnouts, ice scratchers and lots of stuff we've had to shop elsewhere for in the past. I also see they offer a 15X136X1.5 Free Ride Camoplast track for boondocking. Yamaha claims huge deep snow improvement. It is not open & clipped on every window. I...

I keep wearing out or losing the plastic tips on the front of the rails. First problem was last year at 2500 miles. They wore right down to the rails. My dealer replaced them. Shortly thereafter, the right one fell off. They replaced it. Last week, at 3200 miles, the left one disappeared. I had...

I am thinking about swapping out my 136" Mono-Shock with 1 1/4" Ripsaw for a 144" EZ Ryde with a 1.5" Cobra. I've been told by EZ Ryde that it works beautiful in the bumps. I assume the longer & deeper lug track with the lower approach angle should really help in the deep stuff. Anyone have...

I ran my '07 Attak this past weekend in VERY cold temps. -40 or so. It started suprisingly well. I let it warm up to 160 or so and within the first couple miles I had a green warning light come on and the engine went right to an idle. After several seconds, the light would go out & I had full...

Anyone have any solid advise on gasoline with 10% ethanol? The local Ski-Doo dealer is advising customers to use only high test gas and to never add any dry gas to the fuel tank or you risk burning down an engine. We recently started getting that 10% blend in Maine & I haven't given it any...

I have an '07 Attak ER. I want to upgrade the front shocks for next year. I trail ride most of the time, do about 20% boondocking and hate to slow down too much when it gets rough. The Mono-Shock has been revalved & re-sprung, which made a huge difference. Now for the front. I'm thinking...

I rode Saturday on groomed and very hard trails at about 0 degrees f. Not much snow dust for the coolers. The temperature gauge was running between 195 & 200. I stopped and bolted the spray deflectors to the rear of the inside carbides on my Simmons flexi-skis. The temperature dropped 30...

I noticed this my 1st ride of the year. You would only get it at an idle but not every time. My next 400 miles I never heard it once. Last friday it did it again but only one time. The longer it idled, the louder & more shrill it got. Next time I stopped, it was gone and didn't do it again...

I've quite a few changes to my '07 Attak and these made a HUGE improvement. - Monoshock re-valve and 6.5KG spring by Pioneer. - Simmons Flexi-skis mounted in the most rearward hole. - Hiperfax with wearpads in the closed windows. - Yamaha mid height windshield. - Clutch mod. by Woodys...

Has anyone heard of, or tried, an engine timing change to increase performance on the Apex / Attak? TimC.

I would like to get better fuel mileage. I realize I have a heavy, high HP sled but range is an issue. Especially if you are running mostly secondary trails at 45 MPH or so. Times when you're not into the throttle too hard or in deep snow where you don't expect much. I went 106 miles...

Anyone try these on an Attak? Comments if you have? TimC.

I have an '07 Attak with the blue & white lightning bolts on the hood and windshield. I was under the understanding that it is a mid height windshield. I installed a tall one from Yamaha (with those stupid support rods) and broke it before I even rode this year. My clamshell trailer is too low...

Has anyone seen or tried a "Gas Can Thingy" from craiggerbuilt.com ? They have a 2.08 gallon setup that's pictured in the bulliten board section of sledmaine.com under Yamaha discussion. Looks like the guy didn't do anything with the exhaust & says the can fits between them. By the way...

Where is the best location to mount Ice Scratchers on the rails? I assume the further forward the better.... Any rail cracking issues with this product? TimC

I am getting ready to buy a new GPS for my Attak. It will be a Garmin and will either be a 60Csx or 76CSx. They are about the same price. The 76 has a bigger memory card & floats plus there seems to be more RAM mount selections. Anyone have any thoughts? I do like the buttons under the...

I bought my new Attak last Feburary and wanted the auxillary cooler installed before I took delivery. Because I has studs installed, there was the problem of cutting tunnel protectors, clearence etc. and my dealer didn't feel comfortable with the whole project. We sent the cooler back and I...

Without changing the exhaust & tunnel extention, has anyone figured out hou to carry a couple extra gallons of gas on an Attak? I have the Yamaha saddle bags with the trunk bag and I was thinking about the type of fuel bottles we used to carry white gas in for camping stoves. I hate to do...
