Just purchased a 2003 RX1 and just woundering if I should really know anything about the sled that I should watch out for. I am going to Maine with it and don't want to have any issues with it.

I remember reading about a few recalls by Yamaha for it (Minor adjustment stuff) Also the 2003 models don't save the hand warmer settings so they must be reset everytime...I did a ton of investigation before I got my sled and ended up going with a Viper instead, but the RX-1 was second on my list. I just didn't like the electric starter only reliability and letting go of the accelerator causes the sled to immediately slow down, no coasting feature....

Hey thanks for responding. I will check in to those things. I never talked to anyone that has one, and just woundering about stuff like that.

Our Sheriff's patrol has two of them, and they have to work hard to stay up with my Wildcat.
With the longer tracks on them though, they are a lot smoother on the whoops.

Haha, ok. Well this winter I'll see if I like I or not. Its my first sled that I ever bought.
