I put a set of C&A XPT with the aggressive snow trackers on a 2018 Sidewinder LTX LE. When I first put the skis on the sidewinder I had a set of 6 inch carbide shaper bars on them and the steering effort was very hard. I then purchased the aggressive snow trackers and the steering effort was...

My snap ring came off where the brake rotor is, not in the chain case.

I'm actually setting in a gas station in Quebec waiting for my buddy to come and get me because of the same problem. Found the snap ring off the jack shaft laying in the bottom of my belly pan. The groove in the shaft is so wore the clip won't even stay on after we were able to reinstall it...

I liked what some guys were doing with extending the graphics around, but I decided to have my vinyl guy put a clear wrap on mine so it kept the stock appearance. I have 700 miles on it so far with no signs of any black marks. If it does start showing it should be easy to clean.

I can't believe it either, but unfortunately they did. One other time while in Canada, I had a Arctic Cat at a dealership for a chain case bearing replacement. When that technician was done with it he took it for a couple mile ride to make sure everything was good. I think all technicians...

I did purchase the extended warranty. I have another trip planned for the middle of February. If mines not fixed by then I will be looking into that for sure. Thanks for the advice!

I agree, but when your dealer doesn't have one to rob off another sled your kind of stuck. If he had one I'm sure he would have. He's a really small dealership selling a handful of new sleds a year.

As I said in my post, I have talked to both my dealer and Yamaha. Yamaha rep. was absolutely worthless to talk to. I don't blame my dealer for not being able to get a part that I guess is unavailable. I can see a tunnel for a snowmobile not being available, but a shock! Come on, total BS!

Dealer that f'ed it up is in Canada and I'm in NY. I was on a backpacking trip in Canada and time was not in my favor at any point. The suspension would still travel about 6 inches before rubbing the track. The trails were in awesome shape when leaving the dealership so I didn't hear it all...

Y You need to drill out the rivets on the rear exchanger so you can slide it back enough to slide a new hose on.

I'm in NY with my sled at the dealer.

I don't think I should have to buy a shock to get my new sled back on the trail. Time for a change I'm afraid.

I have been riding Yamaha snowmobiles since the late 70's early 80's, starting out on a Enticer 300 that my father bought for me. Awesome little sled! Then he purchased me the very popular phazer. Another great sled! After that I was on my own and I purchased my first new snowmobile, a 1994...

I had icing in the rear but nothing like this Yamaha is doing.

I had a 2013 f1100 turbo before my sidewinder and never had a issue in 9,000 miles of saddle bag type riding in Canada. Only issue I had with the cat was the tri-hub went bad at 5,000 miles and a bearing in the chain case at 8,000 miles.
