What is a hyfax on a sled?
The slider is probably one of the most important parts of your snowmobile. Sometimes called “hyfax,” your snowmobile slider is the hard-plastic strip that is attached to the bottom of your skid rails. Your slider protects your aluminum rails from getting damaged and worn down by the tracks.
Is there track ratcheting on a Yamaha Attak?
There was no track ratcheting under hard acceleration and the track and studs felt very positive on the trails and on hard snow as well as loose snow as the day got warm. Upgrading your Apex, Attak, or even the newer Vector models might make an almost perfect machine that much better.
How do you change the track on a hyfax slide?
Then take 14mm deep well socket and ratchet and loosen the track adjusters (Pic 2 #95) through the windows in the track counting your revolution to aid you in retightening the track later. After the track is loose, remove the Phillips screws (pic2 #3) from the front of the hyfax that holds the hyfax from sliding backs.
What makes a Yamaha Attak a better bike?
This track makes a difference in the Hyfax wear on the Attak and allows a more-free rolling resistance. The top speed and acceleration has increased slightly simply by changing the track. We were also having problems with track ratcheting so we had to keep the track very tight which also scrubbed off speed.
When did the Yamaha Attak snowmobile come out?
F or 2006 Yamaha introduced the Attak and the Max Sled crew fell in love, so I decided to buy our demo sled and keep it around for the long term. We have had plenty of time to gather information from our crew and many other Yamaha owners and it was time for some changes to make this great snowmobile even better.

What are the shims on a Yamaha Attak?
Bergstrom Skegs makes shims that help tip the ski back and keep it level. They sent us a set that we installed between the spindle and the rubber on our skis. This tipped the ski back to a level position and not only promoted longer carbide life but virtually eliminated the darting.
