apeXMAN Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 You sure you typed that right? On my sled when I give it gas, the headlight gets brighter. That makes sense though: the higher the engine rpm the more current is being induced in the alternator, thus providing more voltage to areas such as headlights. Yep all my apex sleds the headlights dim when you open the throttle full.They dont go out they just dim a little It is so the EFI works properly with a reserve of electricity as I understand it.

whits-end Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 3 statorsreplaced in the last year right after the yamaheaters installed new stators everything perfect no issues all good WB- Just curious...... were the actual stators bad (ie-open or shorted windings) or did the crank position sensor in that assembly crap out resulting in no start?

Muskoka Man Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 We did a little frostbite ride today , left pt sydney and up D to the seguin , everything was a white carpet through here , the seguin in both directions were tabletop , went into sprucedale for gas and headed back ,alittle cool today on the rail trail ,back down D and took a right and down 37 which is now groomed up frozen and ready to go, looks like 33 is good to go this is the trail leading to Jimmy Hatz restaurant ,we then got back on D at the bottom of 37 and down into bracebridge , snobombers have there section groomed to perfection also , not wanting to sound like a broken record here but trails are the best condition ive seen in 10 years , eveything will be ready for lots of riders this weekend , 160 k afternoon run,puts my total at 2000 ks for this season , going to be one for the record books , hardly any trailering this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockerdan Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Thank MM nice report! So do you think DYW will update their trails to more green? We have been on them for weeks now, and other then the odd washout from that last thaw it seems to me those should all be green. Also, hoping they get 83 open as its a nice way to loop back home and not have to run D entirely both ways. I know there is a section on 83 that flooded out from the thaw but that must be froze solid with minus 37c! Great to hear 37/33 are looking good.....I want to run those down into Port Carling sometime soon, then loop back up C to Parry Sound and across seguin, thought that would be a fun loop to do, and then i can get out on Lake Joe to see that , all new for me over that way.

Nunz Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Dan, I took a drive by yesterday and the 88 trail that runs alongside Townline is pretty much all trail now, I would say there was about less than 100 yards of road running tops, Once you get to Brunel Road it is all groomed right into Fairy Lake with no road running at all. Thinking thats gonna a be out new way out towards Deerhurst for now. Nunz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea since that sensor failure is not that uncommon. Seemed like '06 Ape's were most susceptible, kinda like the drive shafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went to town(truck) and also saw they groomed the BANK on the steep part at bottom of townline rd (trail 88 between Fairy lk and hwy11) This is awesome cause the past few winters this has often been a mess, its a tough spot and often nasty running from Hwy 11(on 88) to fairy lake, so this year sounds great,and the lake is staked too! This will be your ticket to get down to deerhurst or LOB fast for you....also remember you got crappy tire for fuel if you want nice and easy! BTW, i think we got a plan for tomorrow(friday) so if you are free let me know, but I think you are waiting for your new sled pickup on sat if i recall. Maybe we will see ya at chili cookoff? Watch for my orange 800x, luckily there are alot less orange ones around then yellow or black, so people seem to be able to find me at least!

rockerdan Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I sure hope so!!! Let's keep that one on the down low. D102B north and south is GOD AWFUL! Sunday I ran all of 102 above and below deerhurst, and it was all groomed perfect to a tee!. Maybe this year with this great base they will be able to keep up with it better above deerhurst with all those rocks in there and lots of traffic its a tough area from resort to hwy 60. BTW, has anyone seen the YAMAHA trailer just past hwy 60 at the bottom of the old airstrip? Im wondering if maybe they will have demo rides soon? Just not sure what the trailer was all about.

Nunz Some guys have been talking about running down d101b(from the chili cookoff) toward dorset, and down raven and popping off to sherborne lake, then across to Little hawk lake. I have not been down that way this year but its always a great ride down there, and its fairly fast to get to, and little hawk resort has always had great food. Then ofcourse if its late coming back LOB is the fast way. As for Sunday, funny you mention gravenhurst, We have been wanting to run down thru baysville, to WOOD LAKE, and loop into gravenhurst.....We are actually planning this tentatively for sunday. Then after a pizza at boston pizza at the wharf, we can either run lake muskoka home if time is short, or D trail home if we have more time....that ride sunday will be fantastic, and If you would like to go this way that would be great, we could hookup for sunday for sure.

rockerdan Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Can we get to chili fest before 11am? I guess we can just hangout if we do. I hope to get up there by 11am myself.

I would say yes for sure, as long as this amazing weather keeps up, I was shocked at the difference from last year, We have also always avoided it and went across the 88 towards Hwy 11 instead.
