Soupy, this is Eric DW, Bakker's buddy from way back. I'll let you run my secondary if you let me try some of your aftermarket clutch parts. have had zero belt issues. Be back from the up late tomorrow night.

All I can say, is that I have an XTX 141 without the high gear right now and it may be the worst riding sled I've ever rode. It's fine off trail, but I I wouldn't wish a bumpy trail ride on that thing on anyone. I'm going to pick up the hygear link, but in case that doesn't work I picked up a...

I know.. I'm still not sure what I'm thinking! I guess there is a new belt for next year, and new clutch calibrations. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, and, like I said, i don't know if i will be trying all that hard to sell the sidewinder (but the viper sitting next to it really does need to...

That's pretty funny. :)

Here's another example of my XTX and a buddies stock 800 summit. This was the last afternoon of riding of the year, and we were doing some playing around with suspension settings, and I did a few laps in the woods trying to get a feel for comparing the summit to the XTX. Here in this video...

Curious how the various clutch kits and/or tunes are effecting the low end and off idle throttle response. I am riding the XTX LE this year, and we are doing a lot more woods and off trail riding. While the XTX is amazing sled and the mid range and top end are incomparable, I find myself...

How about a 17 blue xtx LE? Thinking about letting mine go... message me if your interested.

Did you have insurance on said $17,000 sled? Wouldn't they be taking care of it as it sounds like it would be about totaled?

I wish I could help you with the front, but I don't have mine dialed in either. What did you find was working for the rear? The pressures were quite a bit lower than the specs in the manual, so I thought I was going to see some improvement going up in pressure to spec, but it actually got...

I had it one time years ago with an SRX, I double nutted it, sunk it back in tight, and never had a problem again. That was a race sled so that secondary was apart a lot which may have had something to do with it. I would put it back in with a couple drops of loctite and not worry to much...

How heavy does the steering feel with the 9" shapers? I have the 6" shapers on the same skis on an XTX LE and the steering was incredibly heavy and hard to turn the bars at times. Maybe it's a chassis thing relative to the XTX LE and the uncoupled skid?

I guess it depends which XTX your talking about - I believe the XTX LE and SE both run 8 tooth drivers (I know my LE does), but I believe the XTX 137 runs 9t? The 8t drivers will fit at least a 2.25" track, as that is what came on mine stock.

I found on my XTX LE, it fought me a little bit at super slow speed, but once "on plane" and moving in the deep snow, it was surprisingly easy to lay over and get to move, with the sway bar still attached. Having said that, I really want to try it without the sway bar, to bad it's been raining...

Thanks! I'll check it out.

Wider ski's will certainly help over the tuners. Check out the Cat ProClimb 7's, it's their mountain ski, and is pretty affordable compared to some of the other options. If you can find a Cat service manual to download (not the owner's manual) it talks about not letting the straps out to far...

Has anyone seen or made one or know if/where one is available for our chassis? I'd love to be able to quickly connect and disconnect the sway bar like the Doo guys can with the Freerides.

Curious if anyone has any shock pressures, either front, middle, or rear for the XTX LE with the Fox evols that are working well? Any tips on setting up the evols or how the different chambers effect the ride? This is my first time running those. On the first big ride last week, I thought the...

My dealer said yesterday that Yamaha "is not aware of any issue with the rollers" at this point. WTF? He is getting me new yammy rollers, and the cat ones are b/o till end of march. Even though at rest I have at least one roller not touching, I have full wear marks all the way up all 3 of the...

FWIW, I ran the C and A RZ on my XTX this weekend, and I can't wait to get them off. It was incredibly hard to turn the handlebars in everything except powder conditions, and I'm not a small guy. I tried backing off the ski pressure by reducing pressure in the front shocks, and adding pressure...

If that's the case - that's fantastic! I'm not saying our sidewinders are slow - mine feels incredibly fast and the races I have had have proved that. Only saying from seat of the pants the 850 is certainly no slouch. What is the ski lift like on your XTX? I've got the fox shocks, and i'm...
