I remember buying my first Sidewinder, a 2017 RTX, late in the year. After about 80 miles I got off it, looked at my friend and said" I cannot believe you can buy this much power off the showroom floor!!" It was that impressive to me compared to what was on the market at that time. To me, it...

Whoa!! Ease up. Never said the Apex was junk. I said I was over it and the chassis no longer met my wants. Ride whatever you want, who cares?

After my last Apex, a 2011 EPS model, I was over that chassis. I needed something better. The Pro-Cross with a Yamaha engine provided it. I always bought Yamaha sleds for the engine anyway and modified the chassis to my liking. I never had a Yamaha sled that I didn't have to heavily modify the...

it is what kept me on a Yamaha!!!!!

It would be nice to see that relationship continue

Country Cat had those dash caddies on sale.

I had to heat the piss out of mine to get it to loosen. I have never seen one on so tight. I melted all the buttons when I did mine. Maybe if you used a inductive heater it might work better. Those work really well and can be used in the future for other projects.

Do you think this intake is worth it for a mild tune? 240/270 stock muffler? I will be in there anyway to trim the clamp stops on the intake boots.

Springs do not usually take a "set" from siting, rather fatigue over time from use. It is the use of the spring that wears it out, not a compressed state.

Do you prefer the Ohlins over the Elka's? If so why? I never had a set of Ohlins but know they are regarded as some of the best shocks there are. I have a new IQS sled, I will ride it first but am already thinking about changing the center shock assembly OR just the spring. I do have a set of...

Tell us more about the spring set up. How did you come up this combo? Were there any other options or considerations?

I am jealous of this set up. I need to find a set of QS3r's for my new Riot 9000

Will there be an error code shown if the shocks are un plugged?

It looks like Hurricane is making their own clutch weights again. Big pull clutch arms? I just noticed them on their site. Has anyone had any experience with them yet?

Have you had one on snow yet in proto type form? I wonder how the "feel" is compared to the newer EPS I owned an EPS Apex and a 2022 Sidewinder GT. To me, the older Yamaha EPS felt more disconnected from the snow or "mushy". The newer EPS feels transparent, you would not know it had EPS by...
