    Viper Cross-Shaft shears...

    Yikes, I would also add that you will want to periodically check your bolts in the skid and particularly around the W arm and rear linkage. One of the bolts on the bottom of the W arm that attaches to the rails either sheered off or fell out. I had not idea until the rest did the same, the W...

    NY, I am trying to sell my Viper, got lots of extras on it. Take a look on the classifieds. The price is negotiable and it still has 3 years of warranty on it. Let me know. Thanks Jason

    Speed Perception....

    Its actually pretty hilarious. We have a lot of Skidoos in my group and they always ask how fast I am going on long straights. When I tell them 90-95 mph they laugh as their 800s are doing 107-110. For me, its not as much about the top end as it is corner to corner. Sure when you get up on...

    Go for the Viper?

    I had a Nytro for four years. An absolutely good sled. It had a lot of upgrades and it was fast. but after a day of riding I was beat. The Nytro is a heavy feeling sled and you know that your rode after a day on it. I switched to a Viper last year and after the first mile, I was grinning...

    Excell Cold Air Intake and Exhaust

    Following up off of this post. We did about 300 miles this weekend on the hill. Real cold, and a lot of flat trails early on. I was constantly seeing 96-98 MPH with this set up. It is a completely different sled in the Mid and top range and the sound is awesome. Fit and finish are...

    Loose tunnel rivots

    I have the same issue, I have not brought it in yet to address that issues, but most of the rivets on my tunnel are starting to chip away in the areas of most stess.

    OSP vs MBRP Exhaust?

    Nytro Rule, Did you have a header and silencer system on your Nytro? If you did what was it? Again, way off the topic but a stock nitro vs. a Nytro set up with a Excell Header, silencer and Ulmer stage 1 clutch kit will absolutely blow a stock Nytro away. There is no comparison whatsoever...

    New to site and 2015 viper rtx se

    A different windshield and a good set of hand guards are the first things you would want. As for mods, Definitely some clutch work. There are some good after market guys out there. As already mentioned, Ulmer is one of the best. I would put Excell up there with them as well. You will love...

    Upgrade Phazer to Viper?

    I think you have heard it above but I will chime in. Rode a phaser that my nephew had a bunch of times when I had my Nytro with some additions to it. Bought a Viper last year, I would never go back to either, I would rather go to another brand and I have had a Yamaha since '88. The balance...

    Excell Ram Air and Silencer

    I was seeing around 85 mph consistently last year after about 1 k miles. I hit 94 today in some pretty unfavorable conditions with stock gearing. Needless to say it took me a bit by surprise. Aaron did some clutch work on it using an 8DN belt. to what degree I could not say but he did it to...

    Excell Ram Air and Silencer

    Just picked up my Viper from Excell. I had a few items added to it including Excell's Silencer and Ram Air intake. I believe I posted last year that the only thing missing from the Viper was that extra horsepower on the mid to top end that my Nytro had. Needless to say, these two products have...

    OSP vs MBRP Exhaust?

    Not to Highjack the thread, I would put Excell's Silencer up with anything listed here. Much deeper sound, nothing too obnoxious however. I had the Excell header and silencer on my Nytro and its a bit different, but in my opinion less noticeable. It is typical Excell Quality, he did not miss...

    Let's see those wrapped sleds!

    Got done with the front, Still need to get the tunnel wrap on. A few additions under the hood are still needed to get it where it needs to be.

    Just Bought a new SRViper -- Ride Impressions

    I would speak to your dealer again. The reverse actuator recall has been out for a while. If he does not know it is out there, there is a big problem with the dealer. If that is the case, I would find someone new to go to. There are specific serial numbers that are due for the recall. You...

    Viper Rider forward positon compared to Nytro

    ITs definitely more forward. The seat height is higher and the stock bars are much higher than the nitro stock.
