    Viper glider build

    It was at 6-1. I backed it off to 3-3. Not sure I'll get to try it out this year

    Viper glider build

    Grizz and finally got the 2 Vipers together for a comparison. Sleds were not equal but but close. Grizz's "stock" Viper has some clutch work, as does mine, but he's gone a couple steps farther and the hybrid Viper still needs some minor tweaks to hit the sweat spot. He also has modified the...

    Will nytro motor fit in a viper

    Engine itself is identical. Plug and play. When Grizz and I did the "Viper glider build" we had no wiring harness so he modified the Nytro harness to fit the Viper chassis and all it's components. Your's will be a simple engine swap.

    Nice job Grizz. Can't wait to try it out. Couple speed runs in the grass works for me!!

    Viper glider build

    I'm gonna say it would be more than a plug n play harnesses for a Nytro ECU install. The Viper handlebar controls and gauge cluster need the Cat ECU to operate. The Nytro won't support the electronic reverse and the speedometer pickup. We used all Nytro electrical components to make this thing...

    Viper glider build

    A little over a year ago Grizz n I were waiting for some friends at an intersection. I was on the Nytro and he had his stock 2015 Viper. After asking me a few times and against my better judgement, I took his Viper for a 2 mile test spin. I first took it across a field then down a tight woods...

    Viper glider build

    Miscalculation, it's a 16% difference on the speedometer. You would think I could handle this with an engineering degree. Must have been the fumes. Anyway, Grizz n I are discussing corrections in the off season (which appears to have started already). One option is to machine a new size gear for...

    Viper glider build

    I can't compare, only comment. I never tried the stock Tuner skis and these are my 1st set of Curves with my 1st set of Slim Jim's on a sled I only started riding this year. Everything is new to me. All I can say is I have no complaints on the combination.

    Viper glider build

    Finally! I get some good miles on it. We logged 885 miles in 3.5 days in Ontario. Left the truck in North Bay, West to Sudbury, North to Smooth Rock Falls. We intended on rounding the Abitibi Canyon loop but the camp was out of gas so we couldn't make it. Instead headed East to Cochrane then...

    Viper glider build

    Not much to report as I only have 40 miles on the clutch setup. I can say it's easier to load on the truck with the lower engagement. It seemed smoother in the corners like it didn't want to jump off the turn but I need more time and better trails. I'm heading for Canada next weekend so I'm sure...

    Viper glider build

    Clutch kit from Chris Schmidt came in the mail. Looking forward to the lower engagement. Checking the weather forecast I'm gonna have to wait till Feb to try it out.

    Viper glider build

    Put only 35 more miles on it today. Conditions haven't been good around the house. Gonna have to travel soon. Like many others on this site I installed Curves before the machine ever hit the snow. I tried to use the stock rubbers which made it twitchy and too aggressive in the corners. I...

    No heat on the right side handle warmer

    I had a warmer stop working. Check the wire where it comes out from under the rubber grip. Mine broke there

    transfer blocks

    For those of you removing the transfer blocks but leaving the aluminum shaft indexed to the flat spot. Are you seeing any damage due to metal on metal contact?

    Display Issue.

    I've seen a Viper with an experimental Yamaha ECU installed. Seems to run fine with no flip-screen tricks

    Viper glider build

    Success!!! I had this beast out for a ride last night. The night was abruptly ended at 44 miles when an older Skidoo in the group put a stud through the exchanger. The Viper hybrid performed nearly flawlessly on our very hardpacked trails. Most of the time traction was hard to find but it seemed...

    Off topic....Yamaha Snow Blowers??

    I've been looking for one for a while. Over a few years I've seen a couple on ebay in MI and WI. Would love to have one!

    Yamaha Nytro Skis

    I had Split Rails on for about 3500 miles and loved them. They were predictable in nearly all conditions. Ps. They are for sale
