I have been debating for months wether or not to trade my apex in on a viper....which in my opinion is a better handling, better riding machine...the question always becomes...can my ego handle going to a 600 class machine...as I get older...I keep telling my self I don't need the hp or speed...
I'm still looking at Vipers...and still have a few questions...I went through the FAQ page, and there are sooo many different solutions for different issues (from handling to ride to clutching) that it's kind of confusing.
So much great info...but so many conflicting results..so I apologize up...
It was wet and packy out there....and I will probably be cleaning cattails from my grills for a month...lol...but it was fun...I packed the the 17 corridor from Hwy J to the Hog house, and then redid the area from the hog house to Hwy S (just south of Tomahawk)....I was the first one through the...
This was Calumet Michigan yesterday.....a friend of mine who lives up there said some places had 3 plus feet of new snow!!!...Terrible to drive in...zero visibility...still blowing and snowing up there today (winds 30 to 50 MPH)...the Keweenaw is getting hammered!!!
I know this site is for snowmobiles .....but..I'm just wondering why we can't get these in the USA?? I watched a video on these and they looked amazing...just like everything Yamaha makes...top quality with really nice features....love the track idea....Do any of you Canadians have one?? Tell...
I am still on the fence about the Viper....I currently own an 11 apex xtx, and like it a lot...but I'd like a little better ride, and just don't need the top end on this apex ( I'm getting older and wiser...lol)...After reading through a lot of your posts...this is what I think an ideal set-up...
Ponder this:
Yamaha doesn't leave technology on the table...if they were going to stop building sleds don't u think the sidewinder would at least have eps??
Here's what we have, thst neither the viper, nor sidewinder has
Eps
Exup
Single shot skid
Ycct electronic control throttle system...
Did anybody else notice that Supertrax hasn't posted a thing about the Yamaha release???
Today they posted a review of the Thundercat...but nothing on the Cat line-up or Yamaha line up.
I read as many reviews as I can find to get a more rounded idea of what the media is thinking
It's kinda...
As an apex owner...I gotta ask the question....is this it for our beloved apex??
I know many of you are like me, and love the sound and feel of the apex . But what is there to be disappointed about with the new sidewinder?? IMO nothing. We have to stop being hypocrites. If you want to harp on...
I just read a dealer post...who rode it...he claims it did 122 mph on gps!!!!
That is unheard of for a stock snowmobile!!!....so you can stop with the Apex is gonna be faster crap.
I love my apex xtx...but no way will it touch that speed...I know some of you moded apex guys might give it a good...
I'm just curious about something...thought maybe you engine guru's could answer this....I was told the nytro has more HP than the Viper or Vector....I thought I read on here that the nytro used bigger injectors? If the engines are the same...why couldn't a guy use the bigger nytro injectors, on...
I have to ask you guys...I currently ride a 2011 Apex xtx, and love it....2 of my buddies have bought Vipers...they keep trying to get me to trade my apex on a viper....I don't want to...but they make a valid point.. "you don't need all that power on a trail"...It's sorta true where I ride (lots...
Long story short...my heated shield quit working the other night...turns out it was the adapter plug (which plugs into the 12 v port)....anyhow...I had the kit to wire in the HJC cord....so I started taking my hood and side panels off, and was about to remove my airbox...when a buddy of mine...
A short...sweet review from AM Snow (Canada)
Why not ride a 146 Apex X-TX LE all day? That was the question we asked ourselves after briefly testing the new 2016s for a day. It is extremely hard to get a good feel for so many sleds in just a short 8 hours, but the new 146-inch SingleShot...
I don't get all the disappointed people....the upgrades Yamaha have done are very nice and make GOOD sleds even better....Over the last 6 seasons...every minor issue I felt Yamaha had with their sleds has been addressed...from wheel bearings to skis, to hand warmers...plus several front and rear...
I hate to do this..because I didn't see it with my own eyes..but...I thought it sounded legit and wanted to pass it on to you guys....a guy was out riding with his son yesterday...and saw what looked like two yamahas pulled over on the side of the trail..way back in the woods between the willow...
DO IT!!!! I now have just over 500 miles on my XTX....and can't stop smiling....don't listen to the critics, IMO..the 2011 or newer Apex's are MUCH better machines than the 06-2010 apex's...they handle flatter, corner with ease (EPS is awesome)...and ride better. Engine wise...the new ones...
