While this was probably done to clean out inventories at the dealers, the big question is what will this do for their market share position. To some extent it depends on what the other manf. come out with - but this surely won't help! How many 2010's does Yamaha expect to sell at these prices...

Bought a left over 07 Apex GT at the end of the season for $7350 w/o tax. Could have got a leftover 07 Apex ER for $6500 around here last April. Great deals considering the 09's are not that much different.

I just did mine and I can tell you what not to do. They are pressed on. I threaded the bolts in the holes and beat on it with a hammer so as not to mare the shaft end. The problem is that shaft is aluminum and the treads strip out. I tried to clean them up with a tap, but when I got it all back...

Just changed my Friday night. Sled has about 4300 miles and they were definately on there way out. They hadn't completely failed, but they powered as I took them out. Worst part is they you have to just about disassemble the sled to get to them. Serviability on Yamaha's is definately an issue -...

I too am in the process of getting my sled ready for next year. Just replaced all the bushings in the bulkead where a arms mount. Not an easy job especially on the back side. Also changed all bushings in the arms themselves where they mount to bulkead. Still have some slop as the bushing were so...

I like the looks of the ApexGT graphics this yr. Just not willing to pay the huge price they want to trade for a new look (since nothing else changed). The other sled graphics are OK, but as ususal Yamaha doesn't show alot of variety in this dept.

I have two 2007 Apex's with the Ohlin electric shock. One was an ER that was converted with the shock kit, and the other is a 07 GT leftover i just picked up. I had the electric shock on my ER last yr and wasn't really impressed with the ride. It seem to bottom alot and I didn't feel it had much...

3300+ miles for me in Central NY. My highest total season. Not alot of snow - but decent conditions every weekend except 2 in jan.

I know this subject has come up before, but I am getting ready to put away my 07 Apex for the season and I rode it 2800 miles. Is it better to change the oil now when i put it away or in the fall before I use it. seems like there are pro'c and cons either way. What is the concensus?

Since Yammi didn't give us squat this yr - they could have at least given us an new episode of Bunny. :o| As for Johnny, he has become skeptical of Yamaha again!!!!! Heard he went back to a 2 stroke.

Nobody has asked the most important question on the 09 lineup. Where is Johnny and more importantly BUNNY! That new Venture has to be good for something? ;)!

Has anyone heard what incentives are being offered to spring buy? Maybe about a $1000 in rebates??????

There would be lots of people paying big bucks for a new high performance entry. Watch how many Cat turbos are sold! The other point is how Yamaha can not do anything with known issues. We see this time and time again. Handlebar heater upgrades took an act of congress. Fix the skis which are the...

Well it is pretty obvious that Yamaha never reads these posts of what people would like to see improved in their sleds. I don't think any of the wishes were granted: Here were just a few: Less weight No Better Ski No More HP No Turbo No Larger tank No...

What is the big deal with waiting for the announcement of virtually NOTHING!!!!!!!! at a certain date and time? Couldn't Yamaha have given us one wish!!! Worst introduction EVER!!!

Unless your in the market for a Utility Sled, 2009 is a very very disappointing year for the entire snowmobiling industry! Do the manufactures really think they can ask us to pay 12,000 to 14,000 for new decals!

It would. It doesn't have a cable, but as the next reader posts the driveshaft goes back and breaks the sensor. What is worse yet is that w/o the speedo pickup working the engine check light comes on and it throws a code 42 (which I believe has something to do with the TORS). Engine goes into...

Left drive shaft bearing (opposite the chaincase)

Never heard it till it went. Was 3 miles from home and had gone close to 200 miles that day. I guess I was lucky. I had heard about the famous Yamaha bearings from a friend of mine. He pops the seal right when the bearing is in place and greases them. I can't understand how Yamaha can do an...
