As some of you know i just bought this sled. i was checking the chain case lube in the sight window and i found this spring sitting under chain case. anyone know where it belongs. like i say i kinda new to the viper

There is a spring that looks like that and it attaches to the back side of the muffler and down to a hole in the frame that holds the muffler in place. Pain to install but not if you have a spring puller, a tool that is like a screwdriver with a thin shaft that is hooked at the end like a J. Hook the bottom of the spring into the frame hole first and then pull up the top to the muffler!

Spring by the Muffler

I like to put rubber hose over spring and cut a V in the top of the hose this will help keep spring standing straight up and use a spring hook or notched screw driver to grab the spring and pull up to the muffler mount location. Just helps keep the spring from falling down.

There was two of them holding the back of my muffler hooked together

I believe it takes 12 ounces of chain lube. But I will check the manual!

A trick that I like to do, is apply a dab of silicone to the bottom of spring where it connects to the frame. Once the silicone hardens it will hold the spring in place at the correct angle when you go to take it apart the next time.

Step 19 page 85 of the 2014 Service Manual states use 12 ounces of Yamaha Chain Case Lubricant. In the Operators Manual page 18 right side center a caution statement describes the fluid as a Synthetic chain lube. It also states that the use of any other type of lubricant could cause failure.

thanks for looking it up.

well that explains it being low if they did what they said in paper work.

It states they put in part number ACC-CHNCS-LU-BE 8 oz when I looked up that part number its a synthetic chain case lube. hmmm wonder if i should just add some only 450 miles since they did it. or change it again.


i put some paper towels under it tonight to see if there is a small leak. wish i new if they goofed up the paper work or the job.
