    Almost April, what sled to buy for next year? LTX LE or RTX LE

    Rtx will corner with a little less effort and transfer a little better. The ltx will have a more stable planted feel. Also the Ltx will work a little better in powder or loose snow. I've owned both a xf9000 137 and Rtx. For the U.P. I preferred the 137 and in Wi with more wooded and twisty...

    Sidewinder or 850. What to buy

    I don't think it's a dud just in stock form it didn't do what I was hoping for. My buds se Sidewinder was a sled length or two faster than my Le. In perfect conditions he was seeing 115 on speedo. In loose snow we would see 105-106. Man I would have been pumped to see 121. Maybe it was the Rtx...

    Sidewinder or 850. What to buy

    I owned both sleds this season. My Rtx Le and a TNT 850. I only got 350 miles on my Sidewinder before it hit an ice shove and was totaled. I was coming off of a boosted 230 hp xf9000 2014 cat and the sled ripped. 120 mph all day almost any conditions. Stock my Sidewinder was poochy compared to...

    Rtx Sidewinder part numbers

    My dealer contacted me this morning and he received a parts fisce this morning for my Rtx Le and that my estimate would be done today. Hopefully Yamaha is finally getting these part numbers ready for the public! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rtx Sidewinder part numbers

    It's a complete joke. They are trying to determine if mine is cost effective to repair or just total out. Yamaha rep was supposed to get them all the numbers by 3pm on mon and still nothing. They sent them a bunch of cat numbers but my dealer wants the correct numbers just in case they decide to...

    Rtx Sidewinder part numbers

    Does anyone know where I can get the part numbers for my Rtx Le? My dealer said Yamaha has been giving him the run around. The Mtx is available but nothing else. He said they are working on it. I'm trying to get insurance claim estimate and without the exact part numbers my claim is in limbo. I...

    First ride on a turbo! OMG!!!

    From what I can tell a lot of cosmetic issues. Hood and panel are broken but I could ride with it. Brake is toast and will be able to get it from cat I would guess. Tunnel is tweeked and repairable but since it's an insurance claim I want it done right. Also steering got tweeked. Not sure how...

    First ride on a turbo! OMG!!!

    Good to hear your sled is running good. Can't beat 16 mpg! For me I've had more power so I figured being close would be ok. The great part about more power is that conditions don't really matter that much. Usually run 120 but it gets there that much quicker. Without the extra power conditions...

    First ride on a turbo! OMG!!!

    My guess is these big speeds are no studs or 1.325 studs. My sled is studded with 1.50 and 180 so no track spin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First ride on a turbo! OMG!!!

    Everyone is showing speeds of close to 120 in perfect conditions and either mine had something wrong or I'm missing something. Me and my bud both bought 129s. Mine is an Le his an se. We ran fri before the accident and I was seeing 108 on speedo. My bud was about. 2 sled lengths faster but I...
