Ah yeah ok. I’m looking for the sleeping cherries. I got lucky with my 86. The 87 was a bit beat but is fully, fully loaded now. I acquired an 88 to be able to copy the bush bar, but it’s going to a buddy in exchange for a bit of trades work.

Yep, they really wake up with track and skin upgrades. I’m systematically trying to collect them up theough 91. I have an 86 and 87 so far.

Getting rid of a 91 T/R?! Any more info!? I am a T/R junkie.

I see old threads on performance damping here, but is it just me, or did the section on it in the Yamaha website only appear around March 5? It is interesting that they made a promo teaser video on it. Kinda desperate for some vision here, so I might be over reading this, but we'll see if it...

I assume you got the pintle hitch? I run the big skins on my 540 and they go a long way towards off trail flotation.

Have you tried the dealer? Be careful of aftermarket lines!

In almost all applications, it is best to get the OEM line from the dealer. It is often pink Tygon. 6.5mm ID and 11 mm OD.

ATVs are all made at the big plant down in Georgia. There is no sign that the ATV business is suffering the way the snowmobile division appears to have been.

I had a horrible, horrible experience with Spot. I strongly recommend against anyone ever using them. Their customer service and billing practices are predatory, and it's surprising that they are even legal. Absolutely atrocious. And I've seen other guys have had the same types of issues. Two...

I both agree as well as disagree. Agree in the sense that it doesn't make sense to tip their hand, and I've said that before. Disagree in the sense of the almost total silence. Let's face it, we collectively rationalize enough about Yamaha's moves and path forward! I would imagine that Yamaha's...

If only there were some form of easily accessible media in which Yamaha could break their almost total silence and enlighten us on what their vision is.

There is a kit available, something like YU-05198B, from Kent Moore. You can also piecemeal various parts from Cycleterminal.

Yeah it's currently sitting between the XTX SE and the BTX for me. I am hoping that Snowtrax will include the SE in their shootout.

Good find! A pic or two would really help.

The guy from Snowtrax seems to really like the 1.6 lug tracks on the Riot and Backcountry XRS. Apparently they will do a shootout episode with all 3. Not sure which XTX they will use, the SE or LE.

There's gotta be some rubbing going on somewhere in the wiring harness. I would even guess that there might be a technical bulletin on it. There are definitely tech bulletins for the same problem on older units.

The new BTX with the 2.25 looks pretty good from that angle. But I can't ignore those XTXs either, they have some pretty enticing specs and some interesting updates.

Hey fellow Saskie, Yeah that's why the 146s are interesting. There's a whole bunch of new features in the way they are set up. That's kind of the dilemma; the BTX has a bit more length in the skid, which is usually nice, but the whole suspension on the XTXs is quite a bit different than the...

Jeez and that's on an LE edition!? Tell me good things about it please haha Where in Sask are you?

So I've been eyeing up BTXs for a while now. And now there is a new LE BTX iteration, as well as the SE ad LE XTX versions. Almost all of the riding I do would fall into the off-trail category. Any "trails" that I do end up on are rudimentary compared to actual groomed trails. We do a bit of...
