They will go out with a bang by finally fixing the chain case! LOL

I am just heartbroken! Bought my first Yamaha, 1973 643B to an 18 sidewinder! I was looking to buy a new one next year but I guess not!

I agree, stick with the 17. I have an 18 that I plan to run it in the ground before I get rid of it.

Same for me, I bought a new 2018 sidewinder in April of 18. For 12,400.00 with 2 year warranty and 0 percent interest for 5 years. I added an extra 3 years for 300.00. If things do not change, I will be done when my sled becomes undependable. Hard to justify 20+ thousand for a couple of months a...

Well Yamaha cannot say there is no money for R and D anymore! LOL

The Yamaha dealer I deal with in northern Wisconsin, normally get 30 sleds a year to put on his showroom floor. Last year he received 0! He drove around southern Wisconsin buying used sleds to put in his showroom. If Yamaha does that again to the dealers there will be anarchy!

Does anyone know how many sleds were sold by Yamaha for 2022?

My take on it is. They cut back on the amount of snow check sleds they will issue. This way the dealers will have sleds to sell this fall.

So sorry to hear that! I had a similar event this last weekend. Coming off of a lake in northern Wisconsin and sitting on a boat ramp which was the trail. A guy hauling #*$&@ in a pickup truck whips around the corner to go on the lake almost hit me head on. He swerved, I tried to move over. The...

That is so sad for all you guys! It seems like nothing is getting built!

I think it is much larger than Covid. I believe we are in a trade war with China. I work for a very large trucking company, and any part or fitting that is made in China is on National back order! It is crazy, the most simple items you cannot get. Covid was over a year ago! Remember when people...

I just came back from Jackson Hole skiing last Monday. Drove to Hoback to do some sight seeing. Saw a lot of snowmobile trailers parked in drop lots. I was drooling with envy!!!

The first new Yamaha I ever purchased was a 1979 SRX. Loved that sled!

Good for you! I am sure you will make many more in the future.

In April of 2018 I paid 12,400 for my 2018 winder. Add 300 for a 5 year warranty. Plus Yamaha gave me 0 percent for five years! Boy have things changed! LOL
