23 Snoscoot arrived yesterday picked it up today a full month and a half earlier than the 2022 I bought last year. Still waiting on my XTX LE dealer said that’s expected last week of October. Maybe Yamaha learned their lesson from last years mess.

Picked up my 2022 last week that I ordered last spring dealer said they had 8 sold but Yamaha cut their allocation to 5 after the fact. Luckily I was #1 on the order list so got my preferred color but they admitted there were going to be some unhappy customers and kids. Anyone added an hour...

that sounds like the same story I’m getting as well. I know they are in demand so sounds like they are taking advantage of it on these.

So I ended up having to order from a dealer about 2 hours away. My local dealer only has the orange and blue version coming in (they were allocated two and apparently you can’t actually spring power surge them). Found the other dealer with two locations had 8 allocated apparently they ship two...

My dealer called me back (maybe they saw this lol) said they were allocated two one orange one blue for a $500 deposit I can have whatever one I want. They still claim they cannot be ordered online or through them for some reason. But whatever either way dropping a deposit on one so my kids...

Hmmm maybe time to go to another dealer. Too bad they can’t get their stuff together.

Change it. If it had any temp swings at all (unless it’s in a constant 70 degree temp controlled building it’s bad temp swings) or if it has been run at all it’s got corrosive combustion by-products and moisture sitting in there. Cheap insurance to change and that goes for any type of...

Someone asked how long ago it was that I rode. ... that was about 20 years ago. So lots of changes since then obviously with technology. I don’t even think they had 4 banger sleds back then. Got it home yesterday and promptly ordered some dollies because damn those carbides don’t like my...

Live in farm country in Western MA so have hundreds of acres right around the house to play on and the local club has some OK trails through the area. Other than that plan on heading up to VT at least a few times this year.

Couple photos from the dealer today while signing papers.

New owner of a 2020 Sidewinder STX-GT as of today that I ordered last spring. I haven’t rode or owned a sled since I was a kid but time to get back into it. Any tips of what to watch for with these models and any must have gear to carry or parts that are prone to break and leave you...
