No darting either. It’s a dually shaper https://www.countrycat.com/arctic-cat-5639-251-5639-252-5639-253-deuce-twin-carbide-wearbar-sold-individually-2002-2019-models Edited February 24, 2020 by bussman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After some reading on FB and seeing Bhent and Drew mention them several times, I invested in some of these to see how they are. Just doing the shims for now. Gonna stick with the Shaper Bars for now. If the shims alone work, cool. If not, I may try some Triple Points and ski savers next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used shims on my XP, didn’t really notice any difference. People rave about the triple points, I’ve never tried them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my only mistake was getting the 8" ones instead of the 6's as, because of the weight of my sled, it can be a bear steering when things get slow. Not unbearable by any stretch, but in my case, I think the 6" ones would have been better? Due to the design/nature of the Curve skis and how tight/tough they were to install, trying to add shims is out of the question. I tried numerous times but no way Jose!

From what I read about the RAS X front end (and RMotion X) they won't need anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one time, years ago, I used Yamaha oil and filter, it was over $90 dollars CDN. Their oil/filter is nothing special at all, just the price.

Might be cheaper but changing oil in a 4 stroke is a bigger PITA than adding 2 stroke oil every 3rd or 4th ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's the Vector so it's not near as bad as the Apex's. No idea what the sidewinders or other 4 strokes are like but doing it once a year only will always be a plus to me.

Remove small panel (5 torx screws) of the belly to access the drain and filter. Time wise under an hour but I can fill a 2 stroke in about 30 seconds and Doo's summerization mode of really fucking nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
