    What clutch maintenance to do on my 2016 LTX DX.

    I would say it is time to send them off for a good deep clean and thorough check up. Thunder Products would be my suggestion. The unfortunate part of owning a 4 stroke, we run long enough that we wear things out. In 2 stroke lives you would be on your third to fifth new sled and you still...

    2024 Yamaha snowmobile releases, March 14, 2023

    Exactly! No change and limited production isn't a bad thing. Either they are trying to avoid delivering late or it could be a signal that change is coming.

    Power Surge 2024

    If I understand this correctly 2024 is limited production and Canadian customers have 2 days to order before us in the U.S.? Reading between the lines, either there is a dealer allocation in place or U.S. customers are out of luck.

    2024 Prototypes and Spy Photos

    When the procross chassis is dialed in there isn't a better riding sled out there.

    2024 Prototypes and Spy Photos

    Hang with the 850s? The only place the current version won't hang with the 850s is on the lake. If an 850 is pulling away on a trail it is either user error or bad setup.

    Catalyst Sneak Peek Ad

    Just saw sneak peak on Facebook. They have the old guage on it but also have an optional snowmobile specific GPS unit with a dedicated mounting place under the guage cluster. IMO opinion smartest thing they could have done. There is nothing wrong with the old guage cluster, in fact it is very...

    At Least 1 More Year

    No info given, but look at the 2019 brochure and start shopping. Only question I could imagine is if another model will get EPS. Oh, and what color is in the rotation for this year.

    At Least 1 More Year

    Didn't give any details, just the date. I would assume it will be the same or worse than last year.

    2015 L-TX LE Rear Suspension

    Thank you. That is exactly the way mine is installed.

    2015 L-TX LE Rear Suspension

    Can anyone post a picture of how the rear arm shock is attached to the skid of a 2015 L-TX? We just went through the service manual and saw at least 3 different placements in diagrams. Mine is setup with the "C" bracket above the idler wheels and the open part pointed towards the rear. At...

    At Least 1 More Year

    My dealer just told me that Power Surge starts 3/16. At least one more year of life for Yamaha snowmbiles!

    C27 Shock Doc. The best procross mod to date.

    I had Shock Doc C27, AKA Cannondale 27, revalve my rear shock. Of all the mods I've played with this, by far, made the most tangible difference to how my Viper rides. It went from a suspension tuning nightmare to handling exactly like it should with only a couple tweaks of ski and center...

    Rear shock removal question

    I tried to remove the rear shocks without pulling the skid and found it pretty much impossible. With the location of the bolts I simply could not get a wrench or socket on them with enough leverage to get them off without destroying the either the bolt or nut.

    Is It Too Early To Mention 2024?

    After missing any chance at ordering a new Yamaha during Power Surge I was giving serious thought into ordering a ZR8000 so I stopped by our Cat dealer today to discuss pricing. Unfortunately, before I got there I saw an article that said Cat intended to bring the ZR 7000 back into the lineup...

    Well that was a fleeting thought. I wonder how many units were available.

    Hard starting 18’ viper

    All of Yamaha manuals lied to me. Viper, Grizzly, and Viking and I've had cold start problems with each caused by tight valves. All before the 2,000 mile mark to boot.

    Hard starting 18’ viper

    I assume you have checked your plugs and made sure you are getting a strong blue arc when grounded and turning over? If the valves are adjusted correctly and you are having starting issues other suspects would be fuel delivery or spark. Since you are starting and running fine after warming up...

    Summer Project Questions

    I tried to get out of the sport, but found I simply couldn't do it so I picked up a used 2015 Viper L-TX late this season. It has 5,600 miles on it and I'm not sure of the level of maintenance the previous owner performed. With the price increase of 2023 sleds I want to run this one until it...

    2022 Preorder build dates/delivery dates

    Where is the pricing being mentioned coming from? I talked to both my Yamaha dealer and Cat dealer and neither knew pricing yet. They did both say that they would discount spring orders and price would be higher, but they thought it would be pretty close to 22 pricing.

    C&A XPTs or Curve's?

    I'm looking at buying a new pair of skis and have narrowed it down to XPTs or Curves. I'm leaning towards the XPTs with 6" shapers. Does anyone have suggestions based on running either one? If yes, which ski and carbides have worked the best? My goal is to minimize push and darting.
