Great video, thanks!!! Can that driveshaft bearing be removed without removing the skid? I was thinking of wedgiing a piece of wood between the idler wheel axle and the drive shaft to keep the driveshaft in place. Could also loosen the track to take tension off. 🤔

Many many many thanks !! My father and I owned around 16 working 90's arctic cat sleds and always have seen my father using hammer and punch. Hard to not damage the shaft and lip. Can't wait to tell him lol thanks again

I just might need to get a power bloc for my arctic crap 570 👍

Do you guys have an email?

Great vidéo! Was it hard to bleed your brake line?

So this video I think is very helpful to me because I think I learned something, but have a question? The idea is or the goal is to have "0"gap correct????????? So if my .006 feeler gauge goes under the lobe of the cam in-between the bucket then whatever the puck dimension is I need it .006 thicker? That's how I read this valve geometry?? I have Yamaha Vector 2007... Can you confirm my thought process for me???

How did you get the motor mount bolts out without taking the header off?

Do you have any tune or power upgrades on the cvtech?

Question for Kidneybean or other ? I am at the step that I just finish taking my measurement ( gap beetween cam and bucket- valves ) but by doing that I had to turn the crank ( with ratchet - flywheel side ) to get each lobs up on both cams ( Or TDC at each piston). I did that of course with the open valve cover and I feel a little loose on the chain every time I turned my rachet clockwise at a certain point of the cycle of piston ... Do you think that the gear in the crank stay at his place with the chain during this little loose ? My tensionner was still at his place during this operation but I still have a doubt cause I have seen in another video with this motor not to turn the crank if the valve cover is open... Is it something that happen to you and if yes , how can I double tcheck if the chain is at the right place with this gear (in the crank ) before that I close everything and start the engine . I want to be sure that I dont do a big mistake. It is my first time for that type of mechanical job. Thanks . Claude . Sorry for my english , I am a french guy from Quebec :)

No mention of chain tension! Oil quantities? Good tips 👍

That's not the recommended way to use Loctite but still very impressive.

You just did the exhaust side

Was that a woman that farted?

Thinking of doing this job this summer just watched your video. Just wondering why you had to take the ride out? 16:26

That is insane the Yamaha wood expect customer to finish this how much do the dealer charge also what did they say about the owner's manual saying about 25,000 miles which is about right definitely not 12k I know people that needed to have this way before 12,000 around 600 k

Is it possible for you to do a follow up to this showing how you did the math? I am trying to make sense of what you did here and it looks like you converted from imperial to metric but it also looks like you made some assumptions. I have 12,000 km on my ZR and want to do the valves this summer. It starts and runs fine but I find it is takes more cranking to start than my XF which has 3500 km on it.

Awesome notice any performance gains or loses between the clutch’s ?

Well done. Who sold you the shims? I am guessing you are near Russell?

GIT YER CAMRA

Also are these 9.48 mm shims? I am looking at buying a hot cams set and I want to buy the right size. Thank you!

I have 12,500 miles on mine now and it’s doin the same thing. Mine won’t even run that long when it’s cold. So I’m pretty sure I will be doing the same thing. Thanks for making this video, should help me a ton!

Why is there so much chain slack between your sprockets? This doesn't look right to me. It seems like if you had an upward force the timing chain could skip. Shouldn't the chain run nearly straight across the tops of the sprockets?

Good stuff!!! Can’t wait to get mine!

How high are the RPMs going at full throttle

Did you say 10k miles on the Team clutch?You're very lucky, most Team clutches are junk long before that!1900 miles on my 2020 ZR6000RXC and the clutch is basically shot,thinking of making the switch like you did.

how many Kms on your sled by now ? have 21,600 on my 16 zr 7000. Replaced primary at about 14k. Currently rebuilding my secondary for the first time. had to do my heat exchanger as well due to a cracked weld at 18k. overallloce the sled. Just spring checked a VR1 850 so I’ll keep the cat as a backup

I would love to swap my team clutch with a Cvtech 80

Awesome - thank you

Just going to do my first iol change, good video Thanks

What a nightmare for the average joe. Prior to the valve adjustment, did you have some starting challenges? I have changed out my ISC and fuel pump relays to try to correct this on mine. I find that it takes a couple of attempts to get it started. Once running it's fine. I suspect that this valve adjustment may be required in the near future. I have 7200 km on my sled. One other challenge for me is that the dealer welded the nut on the end of the steering shaft as these are prone to getting loose and causing slack in the steering. Thanks for the vid.

Mine has about 5500 miles on it and does the same thing at start up. It will often die when riding and u let off the throttle when coming to a stop. Everyone tells me it has to low of miles to need an adjustment. When yours also die when stopping sometimes

Cure time is 24 hrs.

Hello! Yesterdey my spider on prymary clutch was broken. I want install CV-tech. Do you recomended? What about miliage?

Was the performance better than the Arctic cat clutch ?

19000km and she's still shiny under them valve covers. Somebody's been doing his oil changes. Well done, I'm only at 7000km on my viper but will be referring heavily back to this video in a few years 🤟

Where did you purchase this kit?

Good job man!

Impressive! Quite the undertaking. Thanks for sharing

Came here to watch you do the seat cover, my plug got cut off by the previous owner and I have to fix it. Anyways,on my 2014 xf9000 the wires are all under the tank, that's where the battery cables are and there is enough room they won't chafe in that loom. Cheers

Wow 🤩

That is cool

If you need to put loctite on a shaft it would be best to have the bearing surface on the shaft reworked in a machine shop.

Loctite power 👍🏼 We love machines.

Do you have a heated visor ? Where you hook yours up to the harness my heated visor is in that plug. Didn’t know if there is another spot to plug the visor or the seat into the harness? Thanks.

How hot does the seat get? I reasently bought a used XF 7000 with a heated seat, but I cant feel any heat coming of it 😞

Despite all efforts...there is simply no way to make 4 stroke sound good.

did you had problem, like a too lean motor with that muffler to add programmer or you can use the stock program with the trail version. have you talk to mbrp. I think the program is for the can exhaust version. i just order mine today.

Thanks
