Inspect/Replace notes: You should inspect your ski pivot every couple rides or so. Just yank the ski around a bit - the rubber should allow some pivoting but not flopping freely. You should see very little side-to-side twisting. If it's sloppy, you should consider replacing it. Note also the visual condition of the threads of the main pivot bolt, if they start to get dinged up the locknut might have a harder time locking, and you don't want to have that bolt back itself out mid-ride! Don't forget to check the pivot bolt torque frequently too (40 ft lb).
The ski pivot is subject to high stresses, and will inevitably get clapped out eventually, perhaps 30-60 hours. Refreshing every component at the same time (instead of just doing the igus bushings) is still a very reasonable cost and is important for the tolerances on the bushings, which will provide the best steering feel as well as dependability out in the backcountry. Likewise, don't overlook the importance of a fresh ski rubber to keep handling tip-top.
Fitment notes: These parts fit every Yeti model to date.
FAQ: What is a C3 Yeti "Service kit"?
A: Everything you need to "do it once, do it right" for the common inspect/replace maintenance tasks on your Yeti, with a focus on simplicity and quick-ship convenience!
- Placing a C3 order anyways and know you'll need to refresh your ski pivot soon (for example)? Skip the digging through parts diagrams, we've done it for you - just add to cart! (Or call your local YETI SnowMX dealer, they should have all this in stock as well.)
- Looking for more specific advice on a bigger upgrade/repair/bike swap/etc? We suggest to stick with your local Yeti dealer.
FAQ: Why do you have ABC but not XYZ?
A: We had to draw the line somewhere haha! These items/kits cover the top 30(ish) most common part numbers, which account for roughly 50% of all Yeti parts needs. While we'd love to serve the other half of you too, for any of those hundreds of less-popular items, it's probably a better fit to get in touch with your local YETI SnowMX dealer anyways! If that's not possible for some reason, everything's on c3powersports.com/yeti and yetisnowmx.ca
FAQ: Can I order only the X and Y from this, but NOT the whole Service Kit?
A: Sorry no, the kits are pre-packaged and inventory-managed - having to dig through them would largely defeat the purpose outlined above. Further, based on our decade of experience we know the kits we've come up with are quite logical to keep your Yeti running its best - example, you shouldn't want to replace only 1 bearing at a time anyways. Besides, the overall kit costs are all very fair - it's not like we're jacking things up with $200 of items that you don't need.
