I am interested in possibly picking up another 998T to have in the garage before they become hard to get. Preferably one with EPS. My last Sidewinder was a non EPS SE that I upgraded the shocks on. What is the general consensus for ride quality and trail manners between the following models...

I have a 2018 RTX SE I am going to sell in the fall. I have added a slew of accessories over the years like a mountain seat, Fox Zero RC2 shocks, and more. Is it typically best to strip all these parts off and return it to stock, or sell it as is and wait for a perspective buyer that...

I jumped on the Yamaha site at 2:30 and it said all the sleds were already sold out. I didn’t have my heart set on ordering one, but I feel for the Yamaha faithful who did, and missed their opportunity.

I have a 2018 RTX with 5,500 miles. It has been tuned with TD MS16 with the stock muffler, intake, and map sensor since 1,500 miles. I have never been one to pay much attention to fuel consumption. However, next season we are planning some longer saddlebag trips where range is important. I...

I'm at 5,000 miles on my original chain. I'm out of adjustment on my chain tensioner bolt with the spacer. Can I remove the spacer for more adjustment, or is it time for a new chain?

We picked up a used 2014 Vector EPS with 9,000 miles on it this season. The sled will not go over 85-90 mph on the trail. It accelerates hard but hits a wall at 80. I tried a new belt, but it's the same. Shouldn't it be faster than that?

My dad is on a saddlebag trip with his brand new stock 2022 XTX LE. It has run out of fuel twice with 1/4 tank of fuel reading on the gauge. Today it was 84 miles of groomed trail. When he makes it to the pump he is within 2 liters of the sleds he is riding with. Thoughts? Pinched vent hose...

I flat landed a knoll in the trail today. The landing was hard enough to send the bars down to the tank, and break one of the sway bar guides off. Now, I have a vibration over 45 mph. I can feel it through my feet and the seat. Any thoughts on where to start looking? I just washed all the ice...

My 2018 Sidewinder fuel gauge is acting strange. It will read full for 50-60 miles. Then it goes straight to half. From there it reads how it should. Yesterday while idling, it was bouncing from 1/4 to half to full. Has anyone ran into this issue? If so, what was the fix?

I have a 2018 Sidewinder that is stock. It has always had a belt squeal after braking hard, which I assumed was the belt getting stuck down in the secondary when locking up the brakes. I put 300 miles on it this weekend, and noticed that it chirps the belt often. Even coming out of corners that...

I would love to see some feedback now that both TD and Hurricane have had stock muffler flashes out for a full season. If you ran a stock muffler flash this winter, please post your thoughts, fuel mileage, and any issues you had related to the tune. DO NOT TURN THIS INTO A TD VS. HURRICANE...

Is anyone running this on their sled? I've tried both the Cat Grille and the stock Yamaha Grille. I'm fed up with the giant block of ice up front and the 90-100 degree intake temps that go along with it. If you are running this setup please post a pic of your sled with it installed i would...

My Dad offered to help with my first service. We drained the oils and realized that my Dad didn't have any yamalube gear oil. The only oil he has is 80/85 Honda gear oil. Will that work for the chaincase...

Is it normal for these sleds to backfire on decel? My 18 with 200 miles does this quite often coming into corners.

I want to order a windshield just like this one for my Sidewinder. I called the local Cat dealer here and gave him a part number. He told me that the Yamaha's have a different bolt pattern for the windshield than the Cat sleds. I think this is wrong, but can anyone confirm. Thanks.

Hey guys. Just picked up a leftover 2018 RTX SE. I have 5.7 pilots on it. Anyone have any good suspension settings? Right now it is stock. It does not turn well in loose snow. I'm thinking of backing off the center shock spring to start. Any tips would be much appreciated. Firat sled in 8...

Honestly, I didnt even know these existed until I saw one on Craigslist. XTX 141 with a 1.6 Cobra and Floats. What would this beast be like on the trails? Any issues with the sled getting warm? Ive ridden an LTX SE and i didnt care for the lack of transfer.

Ive ridden a Sidewinder and liked the seating position. Is an Apex or Vector with a WRP seat even close to the same feel? I'm thinking of picking up a used Vector or Apex next season for reliabilty reasons but I prefer the Procross ergos.

My Dad has a 2017 LTX SE. He just got back from Quebec and told me that he can smell burning oil after high speed runs. He said between 40-70 MPH there is no smell. When he runs it above 80 MPH he can smell it and so can the guys riding behind him. The sled has 1,200 miles on it so I can't...
