My first Yamaha - 2000 SRX 700 - Some questions

I just bought a 2000 SRX 700 and have a few questions. I don't have an owners manual.

1. What spark plug is recommended by the MFG for this sled?

2. What spark plugs do you use that seem to work?

3. What is the best Yamaha oil to use (mineral or Synth)?

4. To replace the Hyfax, this site says, (1) loosen the rear idler, (2) then loosen the track, (3) then unscrew the small screws and push the hyfax through the track window. Is this about it or are there other secrets.


Thanks....

awsome sled. ngk br9es for the plugs. i use klots techni plate synth oil and seems to do well with the power valves but i have herd that yamalube and yamaha ring free works ok. and for the slider replacement that seems pretty close to how i do it, but they some times slide off kind of hard. one thing i have done in the past is heated them up with a butane torch and they slide right off. just do not catch the track on fire.lol.

You can go to http://www.yamaha-motor.com click on parts&service then click on view owners manuals to read the manual online for your sled.
 
Use the BR9-ECS. I have seen some guys..me including detonate a piston using the plain ES. Never happened using a ECS but have personally seen a few running the straight ES...especially when jetted on the edge.
 
use ecs vary important. as turk said and i witnessed this weekend the es's will detonate on the big end. especially when you get gas up north you honestly don't know the octane they're giving you even if you are pumping premium
 
NGK br9 ecs are the way to go but I run the iridiums. The are pretty expensivefor plugs but seem to perform slighty better and have lasted pretty long. As for oil, I tend to like the sinthetic. I havent had any problems with it. As for the hyfax, they can tend to be very difficult at times so what I do is I get a flat head screw driver, a hammer, vice grip, and necesary deep sockets (I believe a 17, 19, and a 14 mm). I go ahead and loosen the track up and idlers, then the screw holding the hyfay on. Then I flip it on its side. Then I turn the track for a open window and I pry the flat head between the hyfax and the slide rails. Then once I open it a little, I hit the end with a hammer to get it in far and then I use the flat head to lift the hyfax just enough so I can grab the tip of the old hyfax. Then I put the vice grip on the tip and pull until all of the hyfax has come off. Then the otherside. When installing a new pair of hyfax, it is easiest to put so grease or wd40 on it for easy installation. Good luck if you havent already done the swap.
 
The easiest way I have found to take off the hyfax is with an air chisel. You just put the chisel on the edge and be carefull not to cut through. If it cuts a little deep just move to a new spot. They just glide right off. All you need is a cheap air chisel and a flat blade. And of course a compressor.
