    2024 Yamaha snowmobile releases, March 14, 2023

    I agree. If they came out with this then maybe I just sell the S4 before I put a mile on it! Ha

    Updated Driveshaft 8JP-G7511-10-00---metallurgy testing

    I agree for sure and am still going to encourage saver until we see long term what results from the harder shafts spinning in the race.

    I know I would buy a catalyst with a phazer engine in a heartbeat!

    I follow your logic. Definitely going to get a wet weight on it for sure. If Polaris is going to have a boosted version it is certainly going to weigh substantially more than a sidewinder. So even if the S4 is on par with weight it certainly feels more nimble to move around on. Hopefully maybe...

    I envisioned that the matryx chassis s4 would be a lighter sled. Honestly have not done much research on it yet.

    I saw in another post that the s4 dry weight is almost identical to the sidewinder. Having a hard time believing that. My S4 just arrived last week. I am going to have to weigh it!

    My S4 finally came in and I picked it up Friday. Have not had much time to dig into it yet, but anxious too! Maybe I will start an off topic thread to share my findings.

    Sidewinder swaybar

    I will post more specifics later once we get some testing and feedback done. These days you have to keep new ideas under wraps as there seems to be more and more just looking to feast off someone else's innovation and work unfortunately. Maybe this is why Yamaha is so quiet this year.....Ha

    Got the concept of my new sway bar all figured out I believe. Getting a handful of samples machined for some testing. Have 3 different bars and each is adjustable. Who wants to help test?

    Ride lite

    Rock at yamaheater make nice one's that I've been selling. Peel and stick velcro for easy mounting. If you have multiple sleds but not all ridden at same time the velcro is nice as you can quickly swap lite from one sled to another. I supply an RCA splittler so you can power helmet and light at...

    Barn of Parts New Driveshaft Solution

    Just an update on some findings as the season has been progressing. Have now had 4 cases in which set screws came out of the collar. 3 of the cases the collar actually worked itself out of the bearing. I've posted before about checking to make sure your screws have not come loose, but just...
