A few minutes in, I was thinking this was the most long winded oil change tutorial ever. After watching the whole thing, I'm thankful you took the time to explain everything. Just bought a 2003 RX1 and I'll be doing some routine maintenance on it this Spring. Thanks for the video!

@janeycookevogt8703 2 года назад

Excellent information. Thank you for sharing.

@barefootbob1269 2 года назад

Love my rx1 but working on it is a pain in the ass! it is an hour job to change the oil filter. Great video will be helpful to many rx1 owners. Thank you

@666dynomax Год назад

you can get faster at it, and they claim 12,000mi interval on that filter... i do it every 2 years.

@70ixlr86 Год назад

@@666dynomax Yup. So many think its like a car. Way less often. The filter interval is very telling.

Ive got the identical machine except turboed and intercooled, wha t a rocket!!!

@centerfold3930 Год назад

I bought one of these last winter and it's an phenomenal machine. rides smooth like a cadillac but gets up and goes in an instant like no other! I am absolutely terrified to work on it though, it looks so intimidating knowing how tight it is in there under the hood

@MiloFarms Год назад

It does look intimidating at first. However, The things that you would need to work on unless you had a major failure are all accessible. For example the battery oil filter carburetors and chain case are easy to get too. Check out my other videos on the RX-1. They are a great machine

@centerfold3930 Год назад

@@MiloFarms very true and yes, ill most definitely check them out. thank you for the videos! keep em comin!

Just changed my oil on my 04'rx1 mountain..few other little things before the snow hits..i like your skis...what year apex did they come off? what years could we use on our sleds that parts will if from apex..i put an apex(think it was an 06') seat on mine a few years ago, now sit alot higher like a newer sled lol.

@MiloFarms 2 года назад

I bought 2 pairs of them from a guy who parts out crashed sleds on Ebay. He told me they came off an 06 Apex mountain. Just briefly looking at other sleds those skis fit there are several other mountain models from 06-17 that use the same skis. Do a search on Ebay and there are several out there currently.

@NoSaltNation Год назад

Great video, very helpful info. Just picked up one of these myself. Do you know of a fix for the rattle on the primary clutch? I’ve read it’s the rollers. Any help would be appreciated

@MiloFarms Год назад

I believe you are correct it is the rollers and possibly the bolts that hold them. Sometimes I have found that slightly raising or lowering the idle rpm will help. Also making sure you have good clean carbs with a smooth idle. The rattle is common and not a cause for concern.

@NoSaltNation Год назад

@@MiloFarms thank you, that’s what I figured. Appreciate it. Is there any easy way to adjust the idle?

@MiloFarms Год назад

@@NoSaltNation Flip up the rubber flap on top of the carb rack. In the middle where the throttle cable attaches is a screw that takes a flat head screwdriver. With the engine at operating temp the screw will adjust the idle. The specs are printed on top of the drive belt guard.

@woof2496 Год назад

Lots of great information. I’m thinking of installing a coolant heater do you know the inside diameter of the hose?

@MiloFarms Год назад

I don't know the size However, Yamaha makes a heater part number SMA-HEATR-CL-NT. Many sales places show it fits the RX-1

@woof2496 Год назад

Yes I’ve seen that pt# but every listing I saw was for 2005 and up Not to sure if it’s the same.

@MiloFarms Год назад

@@woof2496 You could also compare the 2005 RX-1 hoses with the 2003 hoses and see if they are the same part number. If so it may fit.

@AltruisticSaint 5 месяцев назад

bit of a long shot as this video is 2 yrs old, but what setup did you use to make a tow hitch for your sled?

@MiloFarms 5 месяцев назад

There is not a good way to put a hitch on an rx1. I got a universal hitch and bolted it to the bumper. Ended up removing after a season as it loosened all the rivets in the tunnel extension.

@jasonblack4786 Год назад

Can someone tell me whts wrong when my dashboard keeps blinking on n off..

@aceyorba 2 года назад

Great information. How much was a good deal on this sled? How many miles on it when you picked it up?

@MiloFarms 2 года назад

Had about 1000 miles on it and paid 1000 dollars for it.

@aceyorba 2 года назад

@@MiloFarms that's a Great price with super low miles.

@666dynomax Год назад

@@MiloFarms what kind of disrepair was it in? Great deal reliable machine heavy but reliable

@MiloFarms Год назад

@@666dynomax At some point in its life it had hit something hard with the right ski. The spindle was bent and it was no longer in alignment. The previous owner donated it to a thrift store. It then ended up at a car auction place and they lifted it with straps and broke the hood hinge windshield and plastic parts around the windshield. Then a guy bought it from the auction and I got it from him. A few weekends work and it was good as new.

@666dynomax Год назад

@@MiloFarms pretty awesome find. the way i look at this stuff is; a man built it so a man should be able to take it apart and fix it. i hear people complain about oil changes and buying relocation kits, greaser kits for driveshaft bearings etc... once you've done it once, its simple. took me 2-3hrs oil change and plugs on my first apex,45 minutes on second... pulled exhaust to fix flange and donuts took me 5 hours first machine, on the second I had the exhaust in my hand 30 minutes... no trouble... Yamaha like I find with Toyota do a nice job engineering things for repair and maintenance...

@aceyorba 2 года назад

The only complaint I have on my 2004 RX Warrior It's a little tippy

@MiloFarms 2 года назад

Depending on what you like to do with the sled you can certainly look at adjusting suspension to fine tune it for trail or powder. For example if you like trail riding stiffen the ski springs up.

They WHERE heavy!
