- the fella that dropped off this apex for the motor swap also wants a new to him track installed on it as well. so in this video I change the track on it so he can take the sled on a trip up north for a rip with the boys 🍻
Love your videos Pete! Big thumbs up from northern Michigan.
Mid Michigan here lol
Thanks for a close up on the reverse gear set up: nothing to be scared of there!! Great work 👍🏿
thank you! glad it was helpful 🍻
please keep them coming, your the man when it comes to sleds, I just wish you guys were in the states you would be awesome to hang around with
lol thanks! I'll try my best to keep them coming 🍻
Good work man. U make that stuff look so easy !! Keep the videos coming !!
I know the apex front to back and never thought to change that bearing on the clutch side like that! Super cool! Very good filming and doing things one handed! Now I see why the one handed beer opener works so well! haha
cheers 🍻
This video was absolutely key in getting my drive shaft out so I can get a seized speedo bearing off.also watched 1200 oil tank removal.jesus mary and Joseph!!!
glad you found it helpful! cheers 🍻
Inner city aisle! 😅 worth another sip of sled elixir I believe Pete!😊
🤣🍻
Wish I had the knowledge (aka balls) to tear into stuff like that. Geesh…that’s good shit Pete. Have a great weekend.
thanks! it's like my buddy Redford always says...if man made it, man can fix it! 🍻
Like usual a great job Pete .love my apex se.kudos from Montreal 😊
Thanks 👍 cheers 🍻
Great job Pete I love watching your videos very informative, Love the details of these videos between you deboss garage and vice grip garage I love watching all of those videos Brad from Michigan....👍👍👍👍
thanks! I love hearing where everyone is watching from..and that's awesome that Rednecks Dirtyhands is one of your favorites! 🍻
Excellent video I had to watch it over and over it's my only guide to repairing my RX1
thanks! glad it helped 🍻
Nice one Pete, Great job always enjoy your videos. Keep up the awesome work 👍
thank you! 🍻
Great video....gotta hate those inner-city drain pans! That one made me laugh. I've done this on a Polaris...looks very much similar.
🤣 thanks! cheers 🍻
I did a 121" to 136" on my Polaris triple...took me awhile but its really nice!@@rednecksdirtyhands
I'm new to watching the channeling you make everything look so damn easy. I'm down here in the Rochester area. And I got a Yamaha. And me and my buddies love snowmobile
cheers Rochester 🍻
Nice job Pete, you always make it look easy lol
One handed even!!!! Hell, I bet you could switch hands without missing a beat... NICE!! Now lets get that chrysler hanging on the wall going.
Thank you Pete for this video. Because of it I picked up a cheap apex that needed bearings. Because of this video, I'm willing to try and fix it up. If I can't get it done, you're just a couple of hours away lol
that's awesome! 🍻
Thanks Pete. Your skill level is amazing. This is the best channel on UA-cam.
wow thank you very much for such a good compliment!! I really appreciate it 🍻
11:45 I usually pull my skids every two years. I'm thinking I just swap every bearing at that point or at least those important upper ones and the rest axel. Pretty hard to check or do anything about mid season. Might be overkill but for $6/ bearing pretty cheap while you have the skid out. Good point on that drive bearing. I should swap that I've been pulling seal and add it in g grease annually
it's good that you're greasing it! might want to pull it off just to make sure it doesn't get seized on the shaft 🍻
Somehow I missed you putting chain case lube in,and the Speedo gear housing cover on,and tightening cog bearing collar set screw.
Been binge watching your videos, now I have a burning desire to buy a sled.... That Forty Creek is some gooood medicine!!
lol once ya buy one there's no turnin back!! 🍻
Pete….i gotta say I love your one liners 😂 when you said your voice is fading faster than an erection in an old folks home 🤣. That’s funny as hell lol
haha thanks! I'm glad ya get a laugh outta the videos! 🤣🍻
@@rednecksdirtyhands lol oh I do…..great videos, my friend…..I just bought myself a ‘18 Sidewinder XTX SE 141 3 days ago. Now we just need some damned snow
Nice work, that is a long drive for a ride. I keep my sleds at our cabin and it is 5 hours away, I thought that was long.
Working 1 handed, holding a camera and giving running commentary, awesome job.
Was looking forward to another vid in the RNDH shop. Crackin a cold one now! Cheers from Northern Minnesota 🍻😎
haha cheers Minnesota 🍻
You make it look so easy when most sled mechanix say Yamaha is the worst sled to change put a track. Which is the reason I haven't extended my 08 Nytro 121" to a 137". Guess you could say i let them get in my head, lol. Keep up the AWESOME tutorial videos!!! They are definitely being used within my friends network. THANK YOU and RIDE HARD during this Season, cause we never know when it will end. Also don't want any REGRETS when the Season is over!!!! LMAO
Great video. Informative and entertaining
Much appreciated! 🍻
Another great video these are awesome to watch and learn from thanks Pete keep it up watching from Maine!!
Always a blast! 💪 Dont let that throat get to dry!
haha thanks! 🍻
Great vid..all ur viddz are great..learned alotta stuff from ur viddz👍👍👍.that kitty kattt engine swap vidd was really useful to Me.. I followed ur engine swap build on My 1995 kitty katt sled that I gave $50 for..runs alott better with a 6.5 hp briggs motor in it VS the 2.5 hp?? Or 3.0 hp?? Shitt sack stock motor that came in it. Hahaha. 👍👍🙃🙃🙃🙃🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
lol Nice One! I'm glad ya like the videos and find them helpful and entertaining 🍻 sounds like ya got yourself a real sweetie there!
Track changes...oh ya..one of my favorite jobs! NOT. That and long track conversions with tunnel extensions! .....nice Job Pete!...not so bad watching someone else do it!
thanks! 🍻
Another great job as usual ,Pete ! ☃️👍👍
thank you! 🍻
Just found your channel and love it working my way thru watching all your videos keep the videos coming
Awesome! Thank you!🍻
Hello there from Connecticut I enjoy your videos .
cheers Connecticut 🍻 thank you!
Love the videos. Reminds me of my good old days
I did all that this spring on my Rx Warrior when I pulled the suspension and also changed out all the drive bearings. Looks almost identical to the Apex. You make it look easier though. 😆 I picked up a couple of little tricks if I have to do it again which will make it easier. Awesome video !!
nicely done sir, you make it look easy.... thx for the video!
thank you! 🍻
great job, very informative. wish i saw this vid before i did mine. oh well, she's done!
Big job! The camera went fast at the end, did you put gear oil in it?!! I know you prob did but good to show people how much and what kind. I like that sled...might be next if I don't get a bombiiiii!
it is a bit of a job but not too bad I'd say..and yeah I forgot to show putting the oil in but it is in there lol 🤣. I usually use klotz chain case lube or just a good quality gear oil and the chain case doesn't hold alot of oil but it does have a little dipstick to check for the proper amount. the apex is a great trail sled! cheers 🍻
I hope the cracked tab on the radiator didn't leave you stranded with a coolant leak somewhere!
I love that track stand where can I get one like that? Nice! Pickety boo! One for me 12 for you!😊
haha thanks! yeah that stand works mint!! it's a home made jobby..my buddy Scooter gave it to me 🍻
Rip it !
7hrs south of Cochran? Where you from bud? Pefferlaw watching you here. Thank you for posting !
Nice one Pete.
thanks! 🍻
nice vid bud . was hoping to see the how you set the proper chain tension
thanks! sorry I forgot to show it in the video but I just back the lock nut off and thread the adjuster in until its finger tight and then tighten the lock nut down and she's all good to go! hope that helps 🍻
Great content, but I get anxiety every time you loosen something without some beaver piss...AKA penetrating oil...lol
Pete you have to try the 40creek double barrel
cheers 🍻
Good job.
thank you! 🍻
Nice one!
thanks! 🍻
Hey Pete! Love your videos and your humor! I'm new to Yamahas and just picked up a 2006 Attak with the 136 rear suspension and am wondering what you do to setup the track deflection. Thanks!
Those drive cogs are smoked
Great vid bud thanks!
Why don't they make a track that would unlatch and slip off, then tread the new one back in and latch it back together?
that would be pretty cool! could change tracks for different conditions anytime! 🍻
IVE HAD A FEW SIPS OF FORTY CREEK AND GONE TO THE BAR ,,SHES QUITE THE SHOW , 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣GOOD OLD THURSDAYS IN PETERBOROUGH LOL
I bet she gets better when the bottles getting lower!!
Love the apex videos, keep em coming.
I'm from your area wondering if you had a skid for a 136inch apex. Just curious thought you might have something laying around. Thanks for your time
thanks! unfortunately I don't have a 136 skid kicking around but ya can check out peterborough cycle salvage 🍻
@RedNecks & DirtyHands thanks for getting back to me Pete. I'll have to go see what they got.
Cheers!!
Hey there Pete wondering if you have any tips on burping a cooling system. I just changed a water pump on a xlt 600 triple and wondering if I got all the air out
you can try lifting the back of the sled up to try and burp some air out of the system or if there are rubber hose connections at the rear heat exchanger you can loosen the clamp and lossen the hose to let air out until coolant leaks out. hope that helps 🍻
If the bearing seized in there wouldn’t you just weld a puller on to the race and pull?
Will the apex skid swap into an 97 vmax 600? not sure if the track lengths are the same but would love to do a mono shock skid in mine.
I think ya could get it in there, both would have 121 tracks just might have to relocate some of the mount points maybe..🤔 but grab a case of beer and get a buddy to give ya a hand and you'll get it in there! cheers 🍻
That's nothing try replacing the track 100km in the Bush when it's -30 yes it can and has been done. One thing I'll say the track isn't very pliable When it's that cold makes for a tough time.
Ya...been there!
Awesome video had me laughing my ass off. Super informative and easy to follow. I been thinking of doing mine but did not dare to start this job. Seeing your video makes me think I can do it and save myself a shit ton of money. Thanks for an great video and the sense of humor! Hope you have recovered just need more Bud light elixir.
haha that's awesome! thank you 🍻
Cannot get those bolts at the back of the caliper to pop free on my vector, and they are starting to strip😮. Any tips?
When they turn the lights up To Funny😅😂🤣
i notice the jackshaft chaincase bearing had no seal on it, is that normal? the driveshack chaincase side did have one on it?
Bud light= Trans beer!🤣
Hi. Is there only 3 bearings on that Last axel? Should there be 4?
If the track on my apex gets worn, I think I'll just sell it as is.
🤣🍻
Since you do a lot of modern sled repairs/rebuilds, what do ya do if ya have a plastic repair or plastic modification?
How do you feel about the bud light contreversary
Bud Light that didn't age well .
How do you change that bearing behind the secondary??
it is a bit of a job to change! you gotta pull the chaincase apart and remove the jackshaft out the left side of the sled (secondary clutch side) i would recommend a service manual if you're going to do it or UA-cam it lol. I don't have any videos of doing it but I'm sure there are some out there! the bearing is tapered so you have to make sure you put it on the right way! I hope that helps 🍻
@@rednecksdirtyhands well im getting closer to a track change, I did get the jackshaft bearing done and just did a driveshaft clutch side bearing... havent got to the track yet!!!
What causes that type of wear on the underside (inside) of the track?
Wow. My nytro seems to be way easier to work on then the apex.
Is the secondary clutch supposed to be that easy to spread?
Can’t believe your drinking that CRAP
Pete…a little horse? Smoking too many reds, or dealing with the aftermath of the VID?
My nytro came with that ripsaw track is was in worse shape when I bought it, those in my opinion are the worst tracks made by camoplast, original ripsaw is a junk track!

Another beauty video. 🤘🍻
