Description
The Shaper Bar takes the wearbar design and performance to a new level! This bar offers a unique shape that provides much better turning than conventional bars and offers a 20% weight savings too! The concave side profile on the Shaper Bar grabs and holds snow rather than allowing snow to slip by like other wearbars. While the shape of this bar improves the turning radius of your sled on the trail, the large 60º carbide provides great control and wear on hard surfaces. The "Shaper" Bar is the original and still the best handling wearbar in the industry since 2002. Made from "cold rolled steel" to the patented shape with large 60° degree cutting carbide for durability and precise handling. The concave side profile grabs and holds snow for better and more precise turning. NOTE: Now E-coated in a corrosion-resistant black finish (may receive zinc plated bars -depending on stock). Sold in pairs.

Vehicle Information
Yamaha Phazer RTX 500 Snowmobile (2008-2017)
The Yamaha Phazer RTX 500, produced from 2008 to 2017, was a popular snowmobile designed for aggressive trail riding and handling bumps. Throughout its production, it consistently featured a robust 499cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin, 4-stroke engine, delivering approximately 80 horsepower. This engine, equipped with electronic fuel injection (EFI) and a continuously variable transmission (CVT), remained largely unchanged, providing a consistent performance foundation. While the core engine and platform were stable, the 2008 model year, which marked the beginning of this specific range, introduced several technical and aesthetic upgrades, including improvements to address cooling and enhance skid component strength, along with motocross-type handguards and a sportier windscreen. Subsequent years saw minor refinements, such as the introduction of Tuner skis for the RTX in 2014 and the addition of the Phazer XTX crossover trim. These updates focused on chassis, suspension, and trim-specific features rather than major generational shifts. FAQ:

Maintenance
| Component | Interval | Details |
| Engine Oil and Filter | Oil Change: every 6,000 km or 100 hours or annually. Filter: every 20,000 km. | First oil change recommended after 25 hours. For slow riding, some suggest every 1,000 km or 10 hours. |
| Drive Belt | Inspection: every 50 hours. Replacement: based on wear. | Typically, lifespan ranges from 2,400 km to 4,800 km, or every 1 to 3 years. Check condition and manual tolerances. |
| Spark Plugs | Inspect, adjust gap, and clean: every 800 km or 40 hours or 1 month. | Replace if necessary. |
| Air Filter | Inspect and clean: every 25 to 50 riding hours. | More frequently in dusty or muddy conditions. Replace only if damaged or heavily clogged. |
| Coolant | Check regularly. Replace annually or every 2 to 3 years or 8,000 km. | Snowmobile systems can be difficult to drain completely, justifying more frequent changes to prevent corrosion. |
