    How much play should the brake disc have?

    I had the same thing happen to my 03 Viper after 3500 miles on the oem belt. Belt looked ok, but after changing the belt, the noise went away and never came back.

    Apex Seat on Vector

    Has anyone put an Apex seat on a 2010 Vector GT? I would like a little higher ride and wondered what had to be done to replace the Vector OEM seat with a 2010 or newer Apex OEM seat.

    Chain Case Oil Change

    Thanks for the replies. Found it just as described, and sure enough, I drained/replaced the oil with fresh Yamalube Chain Case Lube. :4STroke:

    Chain Case Oil Change

    Can someone tell me how to drain the oil from the chaincase on my 2010 Vector GT. The only drain plug appears half way up the cover. Thanks.

    Vector engine bolt?

    The mechanic at Big Moose yamaha, Eagle Bay, NY found it right away. It came from the oil cooler assy near the oil filter. He reinstalled it and I was on my way in 20 minutes. If you're ever in the Old Forge, NY area, checkout Big Moose Yamaha--a great dealer!

    Vector engine bolt?

    I noticed oil on the garage floor under my 2010 Vector GT yesterday--about a 3" spot. My dealer changed the oil 400 miles ago so I thought the oil filter may be loose. Upon inspection, the drain plugs and filter were tight. While cleaning the oil residue from the oil drain area under the...

    New Yamaha skis

    Got to ride my 2010 Vector GT with the new tuner skis yesterday. I'm using 11mm X 6" on inside and 9mm X 2" on outside. Unbelieveable difference from the stock skis. These skis eliminate the wandering in the powder, no darting, and virtually no plowing. Track is not studded. These skis made...

    Old Forge, NY

    This Winter, a couple of us TYers will be doing Old Forge, NY for the first time in many years. Does anyone know of a good bed & breakfast in the area with direct trail access? I've stayed at the Country Club and Forge motels, but thought a B&B might add something to the trip.

    New to me 09 Vector

    Don't worry about the clutch rattle. It only happens at idle (how much time do we spend there?). I agree with the buddy's place. Maybe we can find a Bed & Breakfast in the Old Forge, NY area--anyone know of one?

    Big East Powersports show (10/5-7)

    I was there Saturday. Spoke to the Yamaha reps about the new tuner skis which I just installed on my 2010 Vector GT. Also saw the new wear bars (presently using Excell wheels) along with the new clothing line. While at the show, I also purchased a few spares for my 2012 Triton 12 Ft single...

    Decal Peeling

    The decal on the left side cover on my 2010 Vector GT has come loose in a couple of spots. What adhesive can I use to put decal back in place that will be compatable with the decal and the plastic side cover? Thanks :4STroke:

    Cat and Yamaha...hmmmmm

    Seems to me that during tough economic/market times it makes a lot of sense for corporate sharing. I can see Yamaha 4 strokes in a Cat chassis and Yamaha using a form of Cat chassis to help their consumers who keep demanding something lighter, different, etc. There's just not enough sled...

    Yamaha "tuner" ski question

    I just ordered the new skis (backorder until 3/13) and don't want to increase the steering effort if I don't need to. I'm currently running stock skis and 6" Stud Boy duece bars. How is the steering effort compared to stock with the 6 inside and 4 outside? Thanks

    New Yamaha Skis

    Had my dealer do my annual oil change today and asked them about the skis. They made me an offer I can't refuse--they are going to order a pair, let me try them and if I like them, they will take my originals in trade. Now that's a good dealer! Now snow this year, but I'm going to take the...
