KikiLeadthumb Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I carry a small compass and a few of those warmers that fit in the sole of your boots that last for 4 hours.

Trailblazer Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 An alternative to paper and a lighter if you're really in a bind, wrap a sock around a tree branch dip in your gas tank then pull a spark plug and turn the engine over eh voila fire! Then burn your paper maps or your note pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuse6 Posted January 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Thanks to everyone that has responded to this post. Definitely some items on your lists I haven't thought of. My teenage daughters get real pleasure dragging me to the drug store to buy them tampons. I think they even buy the SPORTS model so should be good to go. They will have a good laugh when I tell them I need a couple. The guys I ride with will be scratching their head when I send them their list of must have items.

I have a Yamaha Viper, the other 4 usually ride with all have ski-doos. Not fun on the -30 C morning when my Yamaha won't start because of a simple fuel relay while buddies are all geared up ready to roll. If the Fuse box was accessible wouldn't be big deal to throw a warm relay in. Some genius engineer put the fuse box under a hood that is a major pain to remove in a warm shop.

mikerider Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I realize many of you live further away than I do, but my number one thing to pack is my own truck. Be it saddlebagging or day trips, if I get sick, family emergency, breakdowns, etc., I can hitch a ride, bus or whatever back to the truck and go home without ruining anyone's vacation, or, if buddies have problem, I can stay and keep riding. mike Florida Snowman and wulsock1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't fix the relay issue yet? The 2006 Apex had that issue, i figured it was resolved by now but still an issue with the Viper?

The RED relay resolved the issue but if you turn your key and are hearing the fuel pump pressurize the fuel regulator, the relay it is NOT the reason you have a no start.

RWM NH Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 There is good information from this thread. It is always interesting to see what others carry. I also carry a GPS emergency messenger device. For those that have a satellite phone wouldn't necessarily need this. It can be used for any emergency situation, whether it is your group or another group. http://www.findmespot.com/en/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper2 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I am not aware of any relay problems on the newer sleds. My last sled was an '09 Apex GT and never had a relay issue in 15,000 miles and my current sled is a 2016 Apex XTX and no problems with that either. Now I have been on a trip that it did not want to start but it was -54 in Chibougamau so I won't blame the relay. I managed to get it plugged in then and after a 1/2 hr. she fired right up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't recommendusing the stuff from a gas station as there might be a few additives in it. While at the pharmacy, pick up a something to handle the human equivalent of the bad gas. Don't ask how I know this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
