Hi Eric, I am sorry to say we are not working on a youth sled at this time and there is nothing in the plans for the foreseeable future. Don’t shoot the messenger just letting you know so you can make your plans accordingly. Note: I posted a blog on the subject under ‘No More Vacation Blues’
cheers

I checked with our technical specialists, the only real issue we have had with the early Vectors was the breather line not being reconnected to the air-box after removal. There is a small amount of residue generally found in the airbox. If the amount is excessive the assumption would be you are spending a lot of time on side-hills and bank-turning or the reservoir tank is overfilled. You might want to post over on Totallyamaha and see if anyone else has more to offer… cheers cr

The pleasure was all mine!!! Thanks

Thanks Gerry, me two! I hope more sledders discover what we’re doing here and elect to comment and hopefully subscribe. One of the benefits of the blog format: you can subscribe and whenever I post a new topic you will receive an email from ‘Feedblitz’ notifying you. You don’t have to keep checking in to stay on top of it. There’s some more details in the FAQ. With any luck my articles will attract some comments and questions and we’ll grow from here. cr

I see in your answer a few times that you redirect people to Totaly Yamaha web site.
Just for your information, there is a new web site witch is about 6 months old that is similar to Totaly Yamaha but in a french version of it and it’s call PASSION-YAMAHA witch i am part of.
I invite you to come and joint the group. The site as different section for all Yamaha motorise product like snowmobile, VTT, motocross, Street Racers, scooters, marine…. in each section we reserve a little place for people in english, so i wich to see you coming visit us and leave a message of support.

Thanks in advance

…I have heard some very good things about Passion Yamaha from my Quebec friends but I didn’t know there is corner for those of us who do not speak French so well. I will be sure to visit once I get home and back on hi-speed. Thanks for the invite cr

…I have my own Apex (set-up to my liking) in the back of the Tundra and have exactly the same questions as you. Will try to have a post up by the weekend, thanks cr

Another forward step by Yamaha. Congratulations!

Thanks Ross, hope you have been out enjoying some of those excellent New Brunswick trails!! cr

…I know how you feel, this is one big son-of-a-gun ship and it won’t turn real quick, constructive comments like yours will help. We recognize technology is changing the way we must do business, I believe its all about communication cr

Not looking for a conversation on the issues we may be having necessarily since you can’t comment on them, but perhaps they don’t even need to be posted, we can just give you the feedback to pass on – unless you would encourage the riders the share their common problems with one another on this site, to identify common issues. An example would be the motor mount bolt/nut that vibrates loose behind the primary. It is common, and riders should be aware of it. Mine came off and took a chunk out of my clutch sheave.

…I understand your idea but at this juncture I really don’t want to go there. You make reference to reporting ‘the same way we tell our dealers’. I think often times our system fails to acknowledge the information we receive through our dealerships, at least not until we have all our ‘ducks in row’, that doesn’t mean we don’t hear you. There is very little that happens out there which we are not aware of, (especially if a warranty claim is filed). Our dealers know the importance of reporting market information and I encourage you to work with our dealers and trust that we get the info. I would like address this further in an upcoming post. cr

…Actually Nigel You can start a discussion on any of the comments made on our blog or address my posts with comment. The intent here is to have a conversation. If there is something you would like to talk about, you can post it as a comment and provided we stay within the terms of use, it will be posted. My biggest concern, as addressed in the terms of use is: we don’t get into service and warranty issues. I cannot address pending service issues or offer counter-measures to mechanicals. Also the sheer volume of questions could shut us down as the blog grows in popularity. Thanks cr
