Excellent video. Best if seen yet and very much appreciated. Keep them coming.

[@feeshermann726]

Awesome video!! Thanks for taking the time for explaining your steps. It should be similar on my 2009 Venture GT I believe.

[@mgcbesterclan925]

I replace my starter relay 11$ on amazone works perfectly now thank for time

[@aceyorba]

Great video. Never knew about the pre-filter screen. Thanks

[@jefflajos3118]

Agreed! Excellent video. Great instruction here, and clear quality video. Question: How long was the whole job?

[@Totallyamaha]

I can usually get them done in a hour.

[@toobglued]

evidently the engineers have no hands on experience. Looks good on paper boys, job well done.

[@Totallyamaha]

Thank you!

[@edwardabrahamiii3742]

Lots of work

[@Totallyamaha]

It sure is!

[@mgcbesterclan925]

wow that s a very good video I have a question for you Apex 2007 won t start in the cold but 20 min in the heated garage it goes any ideas thank you

[@Totallyamaha]

Can you hear the fuel pump when in the cold? Could be fuel pump relay freezes or sticking.

[@mgcbesterclan925]

@@Totallyamaha yes i hear the fuel pump and nothing. The motor does try to turn Some are saying the ground myth be broken but the motor turn and start after 20 min in the garage

[@mgcbesterclan925]

Maybe relay has a bit of moisture in it. I did took it apart and it looks ok

[@Totallyamaha]

@@mgcbesterclan925 when you say it wont start, it turn over just a fast outside as inside? When you turn the key, you will hear fuel pump run as it build pressure, then turn it over once it stop running.

[@Totallyamaha]

@@mgcbesterclan925 all it takes is a little moisture and it will stick. From here, go to TY4stroke.com and ask questions. More help on my site.

[@Restless2010]

Awesome video! Quick question where can I get myself a set of those skid plates? I love the ones on the a arms do they help you with flotation in deep snow being the front end is so heavy?

[@Totallyamaha]

Not sure if they even sell them any more.. you would have to search on Ebay.

​@@Totallyamahaand tje oil filter relocalisation kit ?

[@666dynomax]

Great video. I enjoyed doing both mine only takes an hour. How often do most people bother doing the oil filter?? Manual says 20000kms I dunno that seems like a lot but 5000kms or every couple years does not seem too bad. Thanks for the tip on the screen and the block drain. I find when doing this on my two apex the correct amount of oil is 3.2litres

[@Totallyamaha]

I will usually change filter and oil each season unless Its less then 1500 miles. Since we run full synthetic its not even starting to break down at that point since its a dry sump system. Just my thoughts but each person seems to have other ideas on why is right..

[@MattThePilot]

Great video. Just wondering how farndo you push the boot over the throttle body? Mine only goes over millimeters... I feel they need to go on further.

[@Totallyamaha]

It needs to push on at least 1/4 “if it don’t then you are doing something wrong or the boots are bad.

[@MattThePilot]

@@Totallyamaha ok thanks. Yes something must be wrong. I can't push the airbox down far enough to get the correct angle to make the boots go 1/4". Crapppppp

[@Totallyamaha]

@@MattThePilot make sure the crank case vent lines are going on and be sure the clamps are open all the way. Should see a gap in screw and stopper on clamp.

[@MattThePilot]

@@Totallyamaha I will check it out tomorrow. Thanks for the replies!

Ou puis je me procurer ce kit pour oil filter relocalisation ? Where i can buy the oil filter relocalisation kit my friend ?

[@marcelmichaud4673]

ill second that dude,awesome vid,just one thing,you forgot to hook up a vacuum line at bottom of air filter box,thanks again!!!! if your neighbours got it, you need it!!!!!!over.

[@Totallyamaha]

There is no vacuum line on a Apex airbox. That’s a drain and does not need to be hooked up. Some are missing or have fallen down. The only lines hooked to the box are crank case vents.

[@aceyorba]

What is the approx cost of a dealer oil change for this sled?

[@richb8282]

Thank you

[@danraby2395]

Looking at buying a Vector 2012 model. Will be my first 4 stroke. Seems to be a lot of work to do an oil change on apex. Is Vector the same?

[@Totallyamaha]

You don’t have to pull the airbox and battery. The oil filter can be accessed from under the belly pan toward the back.

[@danraby2395]

@@Totallyamaha well that sounds a lot easier lol. Thanks for the reply.

[@Totallyamaha]

@@danraby2395 you’re welcome!

[@BengalsFootball9]

Hopefully you can give me some tips. I have a 2001 Yamaha SXR 600 Triple. Where did you order your oil from. I need to change my oil. Don't really know how to do that either

[@Totallyamaha]

thats a 2 stroke, you dont change the oil.. you add it for the fuel mix. Its oil injected and can be added to the fill tank under the hood. You want Yamalube 2S.

[@BengalsFootball9]

@@Totallyamaha even better I guess. Less work. Lol. I'm new to the scene. Unfortunately I had to put diff 2 Stroke oil in it because it was empty and my only way to get it to my house was riding it there. So is there a proper way to add this yamalube without mixing the oils?

[@BengalsFootball9]

@@Totallyamaha I appreciate you responding too. Very appreciative

[@Totallyamaha]

@@BengalsFootball9 there is a pile of info on our forums on Totallyamaha.net.

[@Totallyamaha]

@@BengalsFootball9 Yamalube usually mixes with other 2 stroke oils fine.

[@freakyacres]

Wow Yamaha why not just make us pull the motor to get to the filter?

[@Totallyamaha]

LOL, its not that bad once you get use to it. I can change oil in 30 min.
