    Not sure if any of you Yamaha riders that frequented Highlands Yamaha or Richs Yamaha in Illinois heard but John is now running service at Shorewood Home & auto in Crete. Shorewood is carrying a full Yamaha lineup. Just an FYI if you were wondering where he went

    Christmas came early

    Well thanks to Mike at Port Yamaha, Christmas came early this year for my little guy. He asked for a sled that matches mine (21 SRX), So I called Mike and he got me his last 2022 SRX In Blue. Great customer service as usual, and always a pleasure to deal with.... The smile on his face says it...

    Is this a sign of things to come, or NOT to come??

    So every sled with a Yamaha Powerplant is either out of stock or in LOW inventory? This includes Yamaha and Arctic Cat Chassis both. Only thing not out of order or Low are Cat sleds with Cat motors?? https://promotions.yamahamotorsports.com/2022-snowmobile-spring-powersurge

    what age to start a child out on a 120?

    My son is going to be 3 in October and I was thinking of buying his first sled. Do I start out with a kitty cat, or do you think I should go with something like this? He is a big boy, but still has the motor skills of a 3yr old lol. So I am sure his steering wont be as good as his throttle lol...

    To Tune right out of the crate, or wait?

    Alright I spring ordered a 2021 SRX. I'm going to be adding some goodies to the sled. I recently have heard that you do not need to wait till the 500 mile break in is done. How many of you waited to tune your Sidewinders, and how many of you didn't? Anyone run into any issues doing your mods...

    Will we need a Yamaha 2-stroke page on TY?

    Just saw this on Facebook. My local dealer just sent me this. Hope it's a Yamaha motor and not a rebadged Cat engine.....

    Saw this posted on Facebook from Haydays

    I saw this posted on a Sidewinder Facebook page. What are your thoughts? I think B&C look pretty cool, but definitely not Yamaha traditional...... Delete if this has already been posted on TY

    question on setup for stock gearing

    Last weekend I was finally able to try some of the power adders I put on the Sidewinder, and have some questions. I need to know if the top speed I'm seeing is related to conditions, setup, or that I'm a fat a$$? *Area riding was the trail 3 near Houghton with long straights, About 3" of pack on...

    Did you own a boosted Yamaha prior to the Sidewinder?

    I'm interested in seeing how many Sidewinder owners have owned boosted Yamaha's prior to owning their Sidewinders? If you, have what type of boosted sled and how much horsepower did you have in the past?

    Guess who had to buy a Sidewinder & start another build LOL

    Well just went out and bought a 2017 Sidewinder LTX-LE . Figured it was Time to start another build. This one will be quite a bit different and easier than some of my past boosted sled projects. Coming off of boosted Apex models, and boosted Nytros, plus a couple rides with engine mods this will...

    Here is a dyno comparison

    Here are the latest Dyno numbers from D&D power sports. One dyno sheet from the Sidewinder, and one from the Cat 9000. Not much of a difference. Thought I would share being so many guys had conspiracy thoughts of one being higher HP than another...
