Very well said. I don't see a lot wrong with the current chassis. I would go as far as saying it has the best front end out there. Yes, it does need some tweaking from factory, but when setup correctly it is absolutely planted and rails. The skid isn't as plush as the Doo or Poo, but it...

At what point of adding horsepower should you change fuel mapping? I'm running Bikeman exhaust, going to do the Stingray air box mod this weekend, and putting the Big Venom clutch kit in. Is there any benefit to adding a fuel controller at this point? I don't think I have to change my...

Yes, I believe that Yamaha fills the orders in the order they were received. I have heard from multiple places that dealers don't all process orders the same way. Some put orders in as soon as they have the deposit, some put orders in at the end of the day, and some might put the orders in at...

It isn't fishy at all. The problem is that the OEMs can't get parts to finish sleds. My understanding is that the biggest shortage now is shocks. I was talking to the owner of another OEMs dealership the other day and they mentioned that one of the larger manufacturers has been told that only...

Easy peezy, We find a 129 skid from a Viper or Winder, procure it, then swap out the skid on a new Winder. Should slip right in. Who said not having a new chassis was a bad thing? Then we take my new die grinder and trim off the excess tunnel, fab a new smiley face bumper, weld it to the stub...

Everyone needs a winder and a viper.

The new VLOG shows a Viper GT so there is at least a Viper model remaining. However, it is ugly. Maybe that is the plan to appease those still waiting on their 2022 spring orders.

I talked to my dealer last week about pricing. Not sure if he knows anything or not, but he told me to expect close to the same pricing as this year.

Why in the world would I give up my $10K sled with the best 4 stroke snowmobile engine on the planet for A $20K sled with and engine that is best known for having a short life?

My bet is the new snowmobile will be an 800 2 stroke to fill the hole between the 1viper left in the lineup and the sidewinder.

The current market is basically this; ask a stupid price and see who wants it enough to make an offer. If they ask $9,500 and it sells doesn't mean they sold it for $9,500. Maybe ask a couple of sellers what they actually sold the unit for. I would guess that you will get answers all over the...

I see Polaris just extended the time to order a 2021 sled and offered 48 month 0% financing as well. Is there any chance Yamaha might extend program time or sweeten the pot?

If I owned a Ski-Doo or Polaris and had a question or gripe and posted it on "Doo Talk" or whatever Polaris has is there any chance their product manager would personally answer? Maybe their too busy thinking of a new $500 add on to add more profit to a sled purchase... One thing I can tell...

And where exactly does this conclusion come from?

Looks just like mine. Dakota?

Does anyone know if the new skis are available for purchase? I would love to give them a try on my Viper.

I have a handheld GPS that works great, it has maps in it, an altimeter, all of my waypoints, I can mount it where I want and even see the screen. Heck, for that matter all anyone really needs is an accessory plug for your phone and you have all the GPS you need for about $20 extra.

We whine too much. Yeah, Yamaha did not develop a cutting edge new narrow chassis with a big screen T.V. stuck in the dash. Do I need a cutting edge new chassis? Well, I can't ride the Yamaha SRV chassis to its limits. Nope, Yamaha didn't introduce a new "Yamaha" engine, but what is wrong...

As I read through the pre-release gloom and doom I feel I need to put this out there. If someone needs to jump to the Doo or Poo side to keep their happiness I am willing to take one for the team and take one 2019 Sidewinder L-TX LE off your hands so it doesn't fall into the hand of the...

The new sled will be a Yamablast, no doubt about it. There will be more than new stickers on the rest though, this is the year we will see the tuner skis finally go away on the performance trail sleds.
