Stock gearing. I will be trying an older clutch if I can’t get this figured. Sled is getting dropped off at dealer today, but is 3 weeks past warranty now. It was in at this dealer a month ago and Yamaha warrantied the stub shaft, primary rollers and gave me a new belt. There has to be...

I feel like I’m beating a dead horse with clutching on my 18 50th 162. Been fighting belt and primary roller issues for 2 seasons. I bought the Hurricane alignment tool this fall and it showed that my secondary needed to move inwards about 1mm. I’ve had two dealers at separate times align the...

Does the Yamaha/Cat OEM brake line have the correct fitting to go onto the Doo reservoir?

Also on the backside of primary has contacted the 4 bolts that hold the stub onto the crankcase. This may be why I’m fighting alignment issues and had to machine so much off the secondary.

Tough to tell but I have a gap prob 40 thou that looks like the bearing isn’t seated against the housing on this stub shaft. Can anybody tell me if it should be pressed in more?

Lol, I guess the Axys isn’t that bad, I told my dealer on the 5th motor rebuild on my 09 that I would be coming in and picking up a cheque instead of the sled. They made that happen. Some of those rebuilds only lasted 300km. I saw that sled on kijiji numerous times after and every time in the...

The first time it went down they said there was an injector Issue on that side. Second time I told them to check oil pump and oilers. Was told everything was good. I never saw the pistons on either case. When it blows up again I’ll just put a fan cooled something in and my kids will have a...

I must be the only one to get a Friday built sled. 16 Axys 163 on 3rd engine. First one went down on Mag side at approx 1600km. Dealer rebuilt with new crank, and did motor mounts and a new injector harness at that time. Second one made it about 1400km and went down on the mag side again...

I’ve taken my wife and two daughters out a few times. We each double a kid up and I tow a sleigh with the 120 and a bunch of toboggans and stuff. My youngest was 4 in this pic.

Thanks, ya I have chatted with a few guys on here and also filtered through all the posts about guys clutching setups. Also had my sled up in Wetaskawin to check alignment and try and figure it out. Ill try the 8DN next, and also have a completely new primary off an Apex I can try. I had...

If I adjust my belt deflection on my 18 162 to 0.5mm under to 1.5mm over like the manual says it wears belts out like in the pic. Does anybody else have to run the belts lower in secondary? I have been using 8JP belts. I usually have to run the belt about 1.5-2mm below the edge of secondary...

I bent the factory rails on my SW last year so straightened them and added the Iceage brace kit. Very next ride landed on a rock and broke the rails but the braces kept everything together. Ended up just putting Cat rails on because the white yammi rails had to be ordered from Japan. Whatever...

I have a friend who rode Nytros for years, stock and mcx 180. He’s a flat lander so all his were 144’s. He bought a new 141 2.25” lug viper in 2015 with a mcx 190 and loves it. As you know with vipers/sidewinders, you get ****ty AC steering systems and overall maybe a less quality build, but...

End of Feb I decided to put a Hurricane tune in my sled. Also re checked the clutch alignment with a hurricane tool and had to shave some more off the secondary to get it right. It was already supposed to be aligned with this tool from a different dealer pre season, but still wasn’t 100%...

I had ordered the LR weights end of last season but the wrong ones showed up. I’ve since stopped using that particular dealer because of some other issues I’ve had. Took the sled into another Yamaha dealer today that has a little more focus on the Yamahas. Ended up using the Hurricane...

Phenolic primary rollers?

Cleaning clutches tonight and find all three weights are toast. What is the Dalton weight I need for a stock 18 SW 162 with a cold air and CR muffler? Stock tune. Also almost every ride I have a primary roller get sticky. So I pull it out and find the bushing starting to come out. This has...

2018 Sidewinder MTX. 50th anniversary edition.

. Blew a belt yesterday, but on a positive note, I did get around 700km on this last 8JP. Was pretty deep in Renshaw and have been riding hard all year. While picking the belt pieces out I found this plastic part in the belly. Have no idea what it is from. Looked through all the parts...

I have an 18 sidewinder, it uses the same rails as the new Cats. Installed the Iceage brace kit after I bent the first set this year. Just got back from a trip and see they are cracked. No tail landings and don’t recall hitting anything noticeable. Never bent a set of rails on any machine...
