    2021 Release?

    Chased a sidewinder around last weekend, friend of mine was riding it. Mix of trails and lakes he was always $5-7 more at the pump. I could care less about the money but that is a gallon of fuel.. sometimes the difference between making or not making the next fuel station. The tank is too small...

    2021 Release?

    Must have been something wrong with the assault, have no problem getting 120+ miles out of tank on my 800.. even riding at 70mph

    2020 Release

    And what colour is the SRX??? All black like the 81.. hopefully this one is not a failure. Anyone else notice Chris Reid in the one video? Noticed he is a “consultant” now, a shame as he was probably the last diehard sled guy at Yamaha. I miss the blog he did as well. I would love to say I’m...

    2020 Release

    What you see in the picture Yamaha posted is what you’re getting for 2020. Sidewinder xtx that will borrow front and rear suspension from the riot, Cat 600 in the transporter sled, viper will still be around in limited models, SRX will sport colours that will remind us of the curse of the 81 SRX.

    2020 Release

    I believe the reason for the 998 cc is because the side by side world limits them to under 1000cc and with hp wars the turbos came to life. It maybe an insurance thing as well. I have zero claims, nearly 29 years old and I’m paying nearly $1000 up here for a 2018 800... quite ridiculous but when...

    Yamaha has let me down.

    There is definitely something going on and I don’t feel it’s just a Yamaha/ cat deal.. seeing it in a lot of different brands/ products. I’ve been waiting for an intake temp sensor that has been put on back order now for a viper and I have no idea when it may arrive. The problem with the SRX...

    New Ecu flash for Yamaha Viper/Arctic cats 7000 w/POLL

    Well from a logical point of view one difference between the nytro and the viper was that the battery was less than a foot away from the starter unlike the viper which is near 5 feet away or more with cable. Not a big deal when it’s starting warm but when batteries loose half their capacity in...

    2014 SR Viper hard starts cold/ won’t idle

    Never heard about the random stall, it will hopefully be going in this week to get the latest flash. It will do it even with the belt off. It broke a primary spring a couple years ago and even then it never stalled? Clutches were gone through last season though, the track doesn’t creep when...

    2014 SR Viper hard starts cold/ won’t idle

    When the valves were out of spec, what was found? Was the clearance too tight? Too loose? How far out of spec was it? Reason I’m asking is that valves have been mentioned a lot, but when I checked them they are still within spec but they are on the tight side of the spec.

    2014 SR Viper hard starts cold/ won’t idle

    The stalling issue happens generally while riding and say you’re coming to a road crossing and you let off the throttle it dies like someone hit the kill switch. When I checked the throttle block throttle switch it checks out okay. If I started the sled today, it would idle okay for maybe 20-30...

    2014 SR Viper hard starts cold/ won’t idle

    Definitely doesn’t fluctuate like that unfortunately. I don’t ride the sled as it my fathers but the coolant temperature has always been accurate and read smooth with no huge fluctuations. The intake temperature he noticed seemed to be warm when cruising down the trail even in cold temps. I...

    2014 SR Viper hard starts cold/ won’t idle

    Just went out to check, 5.58k ohms or 5580 ohms which would put it at 1°C.. compared to 11°C on my thermostat in the garage. So it’s off by 10° as well. Not as out to lunch as the Intake air temp sensor but not great either.

    Skis...again?

    Well I will say that you will have to find some balance as you will not be able to have a ski that has the easiest steering and zero push as these things are on the opposite ends of the spectrum. It’s hard to tell how aggressive of a rider someone is from a forum and everyone has a different...

    2014 SR Viper hard starts cold/ won’t idle

    Bringing this thread back to the top, have had some more time to mess with this machine. I am aware that there is a new flash out, it will be going into the dealer for this. From the feedback I have read, I hope it will solve some of the cold start issues that have plagued these sleds. However I...

    2014 SR Viper hard starts cold/ won’t idle

    Tonight it got a used map sensor, baro sensor and IAC to try (throwing darts) and it runs exactly the same. Borrowed a whole throttle body, not going to bother swapping it over. Plugged in the tps to compare readings, reads the same. Had it running on the stand tonight. With the clutch engaged...

    2014 SR Viper hard starts cold/ won’t idle

    I haven’t pulled the plugs but I know they are going to be wet/ rich as I can tell it’s running rich by the smell of the exhaust and the low idle. Plugs were new last season, I can throw another set in, just didn’t feel the need to foul another new set. Near the end of last season I swapped...

    Look at the clutches. Broken spring,Too tight belt deflection. Dirty?

    2014 SR Viper hard starts cold/ won’t idle

    As requested, I am starting a new thread on this. Details are as follows. I owned a 09 nytro which started in the cold all the time, even to the amazement of a lot of other nytro owners. I remember seeing people with their sleds in trailers with heaters in them trying to get them to start. I...

    2014 SR Viper hard starts cold/ won’t idle

    I have been using the diag mode on the gauge, problem being it’s too slow to catch anything. You would need something that can show real time like a scope to see what’s going on with the IACV. The valve does move, I had it off and I can see it cycle when the key is turned on.

    2014 SR Viper hard starts cold/ won’t idle

    While they are at the low end of the spec being at 0.008” are they technically “out of spec”? Yes, but I don’t own a set of feeler gauges that measures to the ten-thousandths of an inch and I don’t have any metric ones either. But 3 ten thousandths of an inch? We’re splitting hairs here. If that...
