You're welcome!
Great Stuff!
I wish you would do a video on how to change spark plugs on an 09 phazer. This video was very helpful for viper owners. Would love to see one for a nytro too. John
John Newell if I had a nitro I probably would sorry..
I just got one with my friend they give you the update software update fuel management is it reliable for you do you like it do you love it I love the way it looks
Great video thanks!
Glad you found it helpful!
Cool!
Nice to kanaow I am not the only one working on my sled! Lol
Hottest day of the year so far...... A/C running full throttle in the shop. lol.
seeing that viper`s have starter problems,could you show us a video on how to change one? im on my 3rd starter on a `14 viper and dont wanna go to dealer anymore,rather do it myself.
sidewinder covers and seat removal?
Nice 👍🏻
I really enjoyed your video
Stay connected my friend
I watched the video to the end, I also wish you my friend
👌👌
Thanks for the video Mike !!! Had mine apart last night to that point but no way to get a plug wrench into the plugs from the side. Are you using a special / jointed plug wrench for this ?
Thanks 👍
It’s been a while but ya I think I had to use a swivel joint and extension to get socket in there and then connect ratchet. But like I said was while ago now. I was able to get them out for sure though. At time I though they may have been fouled from starting issues. Lol but that’s another video..hahaha
Got a question for you started my sled got up to 66° was running for 4 minutes died out couldn't get to start it back up unless I used starting fluid then it would die back out again not running on all cylinders could I have found all the plugs bad fuel pump give me some input if you can night before we are working on the track turning the sled on and off running it adjusting things just what the suspension that's all started it up in the morning loaded it up into the trailer no problemo went on a trip started it worked on it for 5 hours couldn't figure nothing out help
Can you show us how you get them out when you gain access ?
Mike, you rock, wondering if you ever dealt with the viper not engaging reverse when you push your button...need some help! thanks keep up the videos
Thanks Dan! No I haven't had that problem with mine. Start with checking for voltage at the actuator connection when you press the button. If there is voltage there maybe the actuator has gone bad. That maybe the simplest fix... If you hear the actuator working maybe an internal chain case problem. hopefully not though.
Also check the relay I think my fan relay has gone bad in my sled. The fuel pump and starter relays are known to fail. So wouldn’t be surprised if relay for reverse actuator may have failed. I’m in the process of getting all new relays that are freeze proof and will be doing a video on that in the future.
I got a problem with my relay on my 2014 sr viper might have to change the hole wire harness or get it re soldered my uncle wiggled the hell out of the fuel pump relay amd a few others might of ruined em
Sorry for the stupid question but to replace the headlight bulb do i need to remove the hood.....Thanks for the awesome videos
No question is stupid! I think it is easier to remove the hood to replace it. I haven’t had to replace one yet myself though.
@@bikermike Thanks for replying so quick......Ya its just i want to install led so im kinda getting ready before buying some in case its to much of a job for me
Hey I’m just wondering where you got your dash bag
Right from Yamaha.
Have you, or will you do a video on flushing or changing coolant?
I have not done that yet, my sled hasn’t seen much use last couple years and still has low mileage , that is a good idea though!
@@bikermike what are normal operating temps for these sleds? I was seeing 198-203 last season with scratchers down in. Great conditions.
@@anythingadrenaline4515 pretty sure mine runs 89-94 Celsius which is inline to you temps in f
No scratchers on my sled, track is studded, never had any overheat issue
Omg just to change plugs. Could imagine changing a starter. 😳
Good thing It’s a yammie 4st motor and doesn’t need much engine work or repairs 🤙
I got as far as yiu did Biker Mike, but found it near impossible to get leverage in that small area for the first plug let alone the furthest third plug. Do you need a special tool to get the caps off? They pull straight upward? Am afraid to break it. You will be able to get that long plug wrench down into the hole?
I did replace my plugs after break in. I remember it being a tight job but did get it done. Can’t remember exactly how I did it. Make sure you don’t put a socket in you can’t get back out with a tight fitting extension.
@@bikermike Very difficult to get at. I took it in to dealer to replace them. They said it was NOT EASY! I think new plugs may have helped with the starting issue, but yesterday it took a long time after about 6 tries to get it going. New fuel with Seafoam is present as is "no freeze relays". It was left out overnight at -15C. It finally fired up either because I warmed up the relay fuse box a bit ... or when I pinned the throttle wide open and it fired. Not sure which caused it to fire up ... what are your thoughts?
@@slickcity2010 check out my video on the ecm re flash make sure you have the most current one
What year viper is that
16
Where is the starter located
Remove the access panel on bottom of sled, I've never removed one so not sure what is involved. But i do believe it can removed from there too..
All that for something that should take 30 seconds to change. I feel bad for the techs that have to work on this crap daily.
That's too much stuff to remove to change spark plugs that's why I like my Yamaha 2 stroke triple V-Max change spark plugs have a smoke and a beer under 2 minutes
