Same age as me!

I've worked on 2 stroke snowmobile engines and low-and-high performance car engines for over 35 years, don't know about the 4 stroke sled engines that much, I just go by what the manual says, that is certainly the safest approach to breaking in a $3-4,000.00 engine. Yes, the factory is overly...

These things are soooo expensive and technologically advanced, I never take the chance of getting on them too quickly. I ran my Apex 500 miles before holding it open at all - other than the occasional burp of the throttle - and it runs perfect. It really began to wake up at 1000 miles, almost...

Sure seems to make sense, put a current production MC engine in it and a new chassis. Save a ton of development money and keep the breed alive! Kinda like they did originally with the RX1. I'll buy one. PS: Don't tell my wife! Wig

Hey Red: Yep, thats at the overlook in Old Forge, both of my sleds and my son took the pic. I go up there 3-4 times a year, still one of the best places to ride in the state. Going up this weekend on the 26th with my son, I understand the trails aree awesome right now. Wig

Good luck with your Nytro - they are a fantastic snowmobile. Wait 'till you get 500 miles or so on her - they really wake up once broken in well. Amazing low end, nothing stock out there can touch it for the first 90mph. Mine runs like a raped ape, it is amazing how quick they are even with my...

They are Dzus fasteners, your dealer should have them on hand. Wig

Check your antifreeze, may be a little low and expands to acceptable levels when it warms up. Wig

I have the Yamaha leather gloves, amazingly comfy and warm as you can get. Wig

They both weigh about the same as far as I know.

There isn't another stock sled made right now that will take the Nytro up to 90mph.

Dan: Good you have luck with that - I can't afford the leather suit, hell they'd have to just hollow out a cow and put cuffs on the legs for me, that's about all that would fit me!!! Well, I exaggerate, but most people ride with the nylon shell snowmobile pants/suits, and they don't mix well...

Make sure you buy the Y.E.S. extended warranty. Best plan in the business. Wig

When you hear the fuel injection pressuring up, that should tell you do NOT touch the throttle until you get it running. If you squeeze the throttle, gas shoots into the cylinders and floods the motor out. In severe cases, you can get hydrostatic lock and it won't even turn over until you remove...

DON"T use any Armorall - my Dad did that one time and fell off his seat 5 or 6 times that day - lol - it looked great but was dangerous to say the least! Wig

Here's mine, this is a legal position for your registration in NY: :yam: Wig

Mr. Sled: I understand completely what you are talking about. One thing, I sure would like to hear more on the board regarding the products of your sponsors, these boards are the way the real story gets heard. I understand that this new turbo isn't one of your supporters, hopefully they will be...

I've been buying performance and luxury Yamahas for over 20 years, if they go to the Nytro as their top-of-the-line sled and drop the Apex, they lost me. I need comfort and performance, the Apex has both. My Nytro beats me up too much at 54 years old for me to enjoy for those long rides...

If they do go with the triple, hang on to your 4 bangers, they will keep their value much longer - probably the last 4 cylinder sled ever to be built! Wig

You know, the more I think about it, the weight of the sled really doesn't matter with the Apex - it has never been designed as a trail pounder or ditch banger, it is intended for the trail rider who is crazy about a sled that rides great, handles well (albeit not perfect) and goes like hell on...
