Last year, I converted my Thundercat to Yamaha clutches. Many have asked, "Why would you do such a foolish thing?". My answer, "Because I want to go fast.....and I need my left foot to earn a living!!" Thanks for the videos. Very educational and transparent.

The old 2 strokes and vipers used a button secondary, which needed more helix to open. Mounting a stock viper secondary on a sidewinder with a straight 45 will turn exact rpm as stock factory secondary with a stock 35 helix. The roller secondary requires 10 degrees less of helix for the same shift.

Wow.......impressive for sure!!!

Buddy found an 25 XTX SE for the right price, but hates the narrow frontend. Wants to put the frontend like a LTX. Im assuming he needs 4 a-arms, 2 spindles, and 2 shocks, but he is hoping I'm wrong. Has anyone converted an XTX to a wider stance that can attest to what is needed?

I would go with LTX LE/ZR9000RR, especially if you weigh over 220 pounds. In my opinion Cat clutches yield better belt life, but Yamaha clutches yield better top speed. Yamaha clutches are more durable., especially if you add power.

The arm is well engineered, but is the skate better than a wheel? Wouldn't a wheel be less parasitic, albeit very slightly?

The 17/18 are interchangeable. and 19-25 are interchangeable as long as sled has same options. I know my 19 Sno Pro, 22 LTX SE, 22 Thundercat (non I-act) are all interchangeable. I don't think and LTX SE Speedo will fit on SRX, as it won't have shock adjustment. Power steering models may...

Higher gearing leads to slightly more heat.

The 22 is faster everywhere. The only tradeoff is the additional belt heat generated.

The price of snowmobiles will not matter when the country is bankrupt, which is where we were headed. Without a doubt, there will be some short term pain for long term gain, but be patient. Trump is like a 998 with a big tune and when he pulls up to the line, he means business Sit back and...

Small hose comes from valve cover and serves as a crankcase breather. When putting a CAI, I put a filter on this hose, so it can breathe, but won't make a mess

21/38 is 1.80 ratio. 24/45 is 1.87 ratio. Did you mean 25/45? More efficient, but much more expensive and need 90 pitch chain.

Did it cough and sputter while riding? Usually a bad pump elicits some fuel starvation issues before quitting totally. This will show up on the FPR Gage as well as the datalog.

Yamaha used to have a spec for chains. The old SRXs/RX1s, and apexes had the service limit listed in the service manuel. If I recall correctly, you laid the chain out on the bench and measured 9 pins. Beyond a certain length, you were out of limit. However, as you mention, for piece of mind...

When sled hangs at 7200, how do you stop it? Or is it the gage that hangs at 7200, yet the sled is idling?
