Thanks for the reply. I used to be a Ford Master Transmission technician. And a certified Powerstroke technician. Not bragging. But the Powerstroke was the first drive by wire engine I experienced. The first Variable power steering. I experienced was on the 1989 Thunderbird. I am really dating...

I agree excellent Write up. Snowtech Magazine is the only one I purchase. Has been for many years. Disappointing that There was not more news about Yamaha in the last few years. Not Snowtech fault. As a matter of fact your write up was the biggest story about Yamaha for along time. I agree with...

I am not disappointed by the 2022 release. Except for the Viper does not get EPS. And lack of the YCCT throttle. In fact I would love to order a Sidewinder. With EPS. Thanks to this site I feel I could keep on top of the Cat DNA as you call it. But they want about $15 hundred dollars less for...

Knock sensors are piezo electronic sensors. They can fail they are like microphones. So can the circuit boards or ecu”s that read them. Unfortunately I know this because I service wheel balancers. And that’s what they use to measure vibration. Same thing as a knock sensor. They are so sensitive...

Good advice!

Do not know if it will work. But there is a tool to remove broken plugs from 2004 and up Ford engines. If you try to remove what’s left without pulling the head you will want that cylinder to be at top dead center on the compression stroke. Valves closed. So you can blow any shavings out...

I would think that you could easily accidentally blow the shock if your not careful. When I installed the updated shock in my Wife’s sled. I first pumped it up with the back of the sled off the ground. I just did not try to go to the the recommended pressure but lower. Then I put it down and...

Thanks for the update. That’s too bad. He could have helped them a lot. In the chassis and suspension area. I know I am going to take a lot of flack for this but the Singleshot with a good shock is not bad. Don’t knock it till you try it. I would love to try a Procross Yamaha someday. Just about...

Looks like the Skis are the front suspension. Bob Bracey would be proud of that! What’s the symbol on the nose?

All this makes me wonder what Gerard Karpic Is up to at Yamaha? There must be something in the works?

Thanks! Use to have them on my work truck. Had no problems with them either. At least I got a couple of free windshields.

Thanks!

Thanks!

That was my point to buying a Sidewinder. Apples to Apples. You guys have me convinced. If you want a better ride. It’s the way to go! Just do not want to kill my Wife. LOL!

Just want to know what happened to the programmable throttle? YCCT. That is what Besides EPS got me to convince my Wife to ride. Again. Best feature they came out with for the less experienced riders. Who wanted 4 Strokes. And could not stand. The smell of 2 Strokes. She loved the EPS on the...

Thanks for your reply! I went with a Foremost agent from Michigan recommended on here. Last year and saved $1oo over Foremost through my local Farmers Agent. But this year when renewed was same price. I asked him while renewing. Why do the Powersports Insurance companies go by cc’s. Instead of...

It costs more to insure a 1049 cc Vector or Viper. Than a 998 cc Turbo Sidewinder. Might be the deal breaker for some. P. S. The Lynx 850 video’s were impressive. Life goes on. So I guess the Venture TF is gone? Only care because at least the front half of the sled was same as my Vectors. You...

Thanks for the feedback! I was concerned when I noticed Barn of Parts. Started selling updated stainless steel transfer rods. At least that is what I would call them. My terminology could be wrong.

The only Polaris I have ever owned was an Indy Lite I bought to teach my 14 year old son how to ride on. It was a great entry level sled for him. There was nothing else available except Kitty Cats. He also took his snowmobile safety course at The Polaris Headquarters just outside Minneapolis. He...

Warn has a portable 24Volt cordless winch. It’s called a Pullzall. The corded version is half the price. I have the cordless version. It has a dead weight pull of 1,000 Lbs. I have pulled my 20 ft pontoon with a 175lb 4 stroke outboard onto my lakeshore with it. I used a snatch block to do that...
