Touring E lt 2up vibration.

Hello guys. Getting some maint items together for the Doo. Last year I noticed when I revved it up with the track in the air the sled had a vibration. Not terrible, but still noticeable. My Arctic cat is smooth. It's not bad with the sled on a trail, it just feels very rough! I would think it should be smoother. The AC rides very nice, but the Doo just feels like driving a 40 year old car. Is that just the way they are? It's a 97. I'm replacing the spring anchors and the adjusters. I went through he skid last year and replaced a couple wheels and any bearings that were worn or rough. The only thing I didn't check was the drive axle bearing. Would that make it feel like it does? It's like something is out of balance. The motor seems smooth when I rev it with the belt off.

Hopefully that makes sense.
Any ideas?

Grease the drive bearing

okay, silly comment/question time.

While assembling the drive shaft on a couple of machines, I noticed the bearings that get installed are sealed both sides on the PTO side.

So the grease zerk that is usually next to where the speedometer cable goes into basically just greases the end of the drive shaft and the speedometer cable end.

Or are you suppose to remove the outer seal (one on the speedometer cable side)?

The only one that I've ever taken apart that wasn't destroyed still had both seals in-tact, so that is the way I've always put them back together. I've replaced about 5 of those bearings now on 4 different sleds. They seem to be holding up just fine.

The one that I replaced twice was my error. It was the first one I ever did and I put side-tension on the bearing. It lasted about 100 miles. It was an expensive lesson as it took out the chain case, tensioner, and gear when the axle dropped down.

Please help me with steering on Citation 250

Okay, so this summer I pulled the motor out of my little Citation 250 to clean up and rebuild the body. While I had it out and had easy access I dropped the skis out by pulling the tie rod ends with the splines that all mesh together, while I had my skis off I painted them up and got my grease zerks on the bushings cleaned out so I can finally start regularly greasing the steering. After all the work to the body and suspension was done I threw the steering back together and dropped the motor in. In the process of putting it away for the rest of the summer I went to turn the skis with the handlebar, turn to the right you have full steering, turn to the left and the tips of the skis move maybe an inch then the handlebar pops over violently and that's all you get out of it. A little frustrated I realized something was lined up properly and decided to deal with it in the fall. So fall is here and I finally got back to the thing, crankcase was filled with gas anyways so I decided it would be a fine time to pull the motor to fix my steering and I can more easily drain the motor out while Im at it. I pulled it out yesterday and started working on the steering put the spline shafts together in a solid thirty different ways and adjusted the tie rods trying to get everything adjusted about a hundred different times. Decided to call it a night and tried again this morning, same thing still cant get it to work properly and Im getting rather frustrated. Basically what I am getting is I can get full steering in both directions but only with the handle bars cranked to the right so far I don't think I can ride it like that, if I get my handle bars straight with the ski tips I get the same full turn to the right but a couple inches to the left and the handle bars pop all at once and the skis don't move anymore. All the fiddling with the tie rod adjustments cant seem to get anything to work right, I am almost to the point of sticking it together with my handle bars tilted to the extreme right but I really don't think that will be enjoyable to ride at all. Two evenings of working on the hing and all Ive gotten done was new carbides on the skis and a lot of frustration with the steering. I have the online manual and it tells you how to adjust the tie rods but says nothing about resetting the steering if you have to remove the skis. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I can get pictures if needed to picture what is going on here and can also do my best to get a video of what is happening if that would help...

Yamaha Vin on older sled?

Alright, did some looking around, I'm a little confused. Dmv says the vin will be a 17 digit number on right side of the tunnel. Some threads are saying older yamahas only have 9 digit vin. My sled is an XLV 540, 1985 I believe. The number I believe to be the VIN stamped on the right side of my tunnel is 81R-000*** (leaving the last three digits out for security)

My question is, is this actually the vin number, and can anyone confirm the year the sled was made? Thank you.

1991 Wildcat 700 EFI

Hey everyone,

I have a 91 Wildcat 700 EFI and the rear skid is completely shot I rode it all last year broken and I really want to upgrade it with a newer skid. I'm a large guy so I need something that's pretty stiff for suspension. I've seen topics about possibly putting a 98 ZR skid in? Any help would be great!
Thank you

1991 indy 650 no spark

Pretty much all in the title. When I bought the sled it needed a recoil (the spring broke), so I got a new one and put it on. Turned the engine over a few times, nothing. I pulled all plugs out one by one and not a single one had spark. The side cover was off the engine for a while, is it possible moisture got into the stater? I've been told to check the kill switch, I haven't done any kind of tests yet, I have all the resistance values for the ignition system, just wondering if this was a common problem on these sleds or not, thank you!
