Just got my btx se this week took it around the field Friday and Saturday. 3-4 feet snow drifts and all I can say is wow, never thought I would own a Yamaha that when you turn one side doesn't dive into the snow, it stays up and flat, huge confidence with it. I think the skis are a huge part, I have a set of Mohawks I'm going to try and ride back to back to see if there is a difference, I'm very impressed with the stockers... never thought I would say that about a Yamaha ski either!
Also raced my brother who bought my hurricane vipers xtx (unknowingly he turned it up to 240hp) and with any kind of depth to the snow the btx just launches and goes! So he's back to the drawing board ...for field bragging rights anyway!
I'm with you, first sled in a long time I'm not in a hurry to mod , works great!
