@@Fifty-Some-Thing I’d consider selling my 4x4 and can. Only after I get my triple pipes dialed in, and would only sell them for the price I’d have to pay to get another set.

@@Fifty-Some-Thing thank you

@@patrickcaudill2939 yes! I’m in love with these older muscle sleds. I actually ditched the bender 4x4 and can. Switching to triple pipes, so she’ll be a ripper. More videos to come on those pipes will be posted on my channel too.

@@liammason8754 the lugs in this video are 1 inch lugs. However, I am currently swapping to a 1.25 lug with 144 studs. The 1 inch track just spun honestly, I’ll probably always buy a 1.25 or bigger from here on out.

@@jackward1364what did you have to do to clear the 1.25 with studs

@@liammason8754 Here are some guidelines for track applications and gearing on 1997 and newer 2-stroke model Yamaha Snowmobiles: • 1" tracks can be used and studded with the use of proper heat exchanger and tunnel protectors. When using 1" tracks, studs up to 1.175" can be used safely. • 1.25” and 1.5” tracks can be used without studs with the removal of any existing stud protectors. • 1.25" tracks can be used and studded with the use of proper heat exchanger and tunnel protectors and the replacement of the stock 9 tooth front axle drivers with 8 tooth drivers. 8 tooth drivers are required for necessary clearance between the taller track and stud protectors. When installing 8 tooth drivers, the final drive gear ratio is affected, therefore you will need to change gears in the chaincase to correct this to the proper ratio that you want. Calculating drive ratio with 8 tooth drivers: This can be done by multiplying your 9 tooth ratio by 1.13. • Example: If the gearing you have been running is 23/40, which is 1.74 ratio, then take 1.74 x 1.13 which = 1.97. So your gear ratio with 23/40 gearing and & tooth drivers will be 1.97. • In this situation you will need to select the proper gears to correct the ratio back to the desired 1.74 ratio. By using a 24T top gear and a 37T bottom gear (which is a 9 tooth driver 1.54 ratio, 1.54 x 1.13 - 1.74 with 8 tooth drivers) this will be corrected. Hope this helps. It came from a Max Performance catalog back in the day. To answer your question, if you want to run a 1.25 track you’d need to remove your heat exchanger protectors. If you want to run a STUDDED 1.25 track, you need to switch to 8 tooth drivers and KEEP your heat exchanger protectors.

@@jackward1364thank you so much

@ absolutely man, good luck.

@@shednanigan I am parting out the sled anyways. I wanted to take the new track for my other viper, and figured I might as well make a video for the Yamaha community on how to put a track back in.

@jackward1364 ohhh ok gotcha! Great work !

To sell the snowmobile after he's done with a junk track to a different guy who will get screwed.

@@Quadguy83 if you read my last reply, you would understand that this isn’t the case. If you want to leave negative comments on videos, do it elsewhere or just watch someone else’s videos. I don’t spend my time and effort making these videos for comments like the one you left. Thanks for understanding.

Good note, thanks Scott!

Are you talking about the srx torque arm?

@jackward1364 no, the mount on the front sid of the motor. Vipers use the same case but remove part of the mount and one bolt to install a starter. It makes this .ount fail under hard loads lke jumping or drag racing with lots of traction. With the srx arm it will last under normal riding. In stock form, they broke often. It will last with

@ interesting, I’ve never heard of that. Can you send me a picture if you have time? Either from a parts diagram or actual picture would be fine. I can’t seem to find/understand what it would look like. 319-826-0338. Thanks Scott! You’re always a good help to me.

Hard to find. They aren't made anymore. They were made by Yamaha, and were sold as aftermarket back in the day. The purpose was extra tunnel support. Best place to find a set would be on the Yamaha facebook groups, but would cost you $300-$400 for a good set.

Thank you Doug for your kind comment! I just replied to your post on Facebook too. Glad it helped. Jack.

What steps am I forgetting?

@@jackward1364 Thread prep and lubrication especially with the low torque values all our little 2 strokes have (outboards sleds bikes ect) 50 years of doing this sort of thing has shown me that wire brushed bolts and chasing holes (not with a tap) but a soft metal brush or thread chaser to clean and smooth the threads and lubricating both the bolt face and threads will make sure each bolt will provide the same clamping force for a given torque it seems every manufacture has a different idea while using similar fasteners (with or without washers) threaded into similar materials not a new idea just the one that always works every time especially when dealing with engines with known or past issues

@@deantheboatguy1437completely agree. Would have been a good extra step.

Dude, that’s awesome! I would definitely test a set out for you! That would be so cool. Thanks for the positivity. You should totally make a video about them, and I’ll share them in the Facebook groups I admin. Search me up on Facebook, and we can chat further. Thanks!

Mikael Berntsson you should be doing head work to any brand triple pipes you install. It’s not necessary that SLP doesn’t calculate it for you… it’s more so how the head was factory designed to work with a single pipe. I’m glad you found the video helpful, thanks for the comment!

The bender can and 4x4 require no jetting changes. Only the bender triple pipes did.

Did you try that?

Mothers mag and aluminum polish, and a foam drill polishing ball.

I have a v max 4. It is loud with psi pipes. It is a nice snowmobile. But I sold it for a thunder cat

Hi Andrew, just saw this. Sorry for the delayed reply. Yes, the bushing goes on fairly tight. There are two different size sway bars depending on the year and model. Be sure that you ordered the correct size. Most wedge style sleds have 9/16 inch sway bar, while some touring sleds have 5/8 inch.
