We need a new topic. This Yamaha thing is getting sooo old. it is what it is. Nothing we can do about it. Same comments every year. If something changes great, we can all rejoice but in the mean time can we just have summer now?! :)

Power steering is nice. I definitely miss it

go away!!!

Because the mood of the people is so on edge because it’s so messed up not only this thread but in every day conversations it almost always ends up with it going back to politics. Not because we want to end up there but because politicians have got their nose in almost everything that we do...

prime tick season :rolleyes:

Happy birthday!!!

you had to bring him up didn't you. You know he's now going to reply.

You know I usually ignore most of what you say but I have to ask. Do you ever have anything nice to say? If people comment about you on here it’s usually in response to a comment that you made. Most of the time it seems like you are an intelligent guy who just has a chip on his shoulder...

Yep he's back

what you are saying is true except to get the precise setting as your starting point...for someone who wants to get it as close as possible the stock straps with holes don't allow for the precise setting. Adjustable straps such as the one in the OP allows for that. I DO NOT adjust mine after...

Probably a good idea to start a new thread. Yes I have them on all my sleds.

Maybe I didn’t make myself clear. I’m not saying yamaha would have had a great designed skid, but that whatever they did have would have been done correctly such as fit and finish and would have had the wiring issues worked out before sending units into production. Quality control would have...

Well it's new. all the bugs will eventually be worked out. The one major bug with smart shocks is how they ran the wiring. Frequent pounding has caused some wiring to get rubbed down to bare wire causing shorts. This happened to me and many others. Shocks go into default mode which is the...

Exactly. the spring kits are another good change. But I think we are way off track from the thread subject. Sorry about my part in that everyone.

I would agree. Most know how to do all these adjustments themselves. I wish I could and honestly I am literally a part of John doing his setup in the shop. He has me on the sleds the whole time bouncing up and down to reset shocks and am learning a lot but I don't have the confidence yet...

Except they are law enforcement and I can’t tell you how many cop shows I’ve seen where the cops are always saying things would go much easier and maybe get off with a warning if you just cooperated and told the truth That didn’t happen.

Yes I did. He changed limiter strap to his after market model that allows him to set it to a more precise setting rather than rely on the holes. Changed the rear springs to a heavier set. Stock sag was over 8”. His meter didn’t go over 8” so not sure exactly what it was. Now it’s 2.5”. I don’t...

It’s easy for me to go to him since my wife’s family lives about an hour and a half from John’s shop so whoever we go visit the family I take a day and bring the sleds to him. It’s amazing how much better a sled can be from Stock. Completely transformed my 2012 apex XTX. I was sold after that...

Bingo

I'm not sure if this is true but aren't those parts from Cat and not Yamaha? I had a 2015 Viper and hated it. Chain case leaked every year and finally crapped out on the trail. Had to tow it home. I decided at that moment I'm done with Yamicat. I had been a yamaha guy since 1983. I still dream...
