Ok, most updates seems related to (rear) suspension then. What about engine and software?

Now that I'm in the market for a Phazer again, I'd like to iron out all possible differences Yamaha made to 2009 and newer sleds over MY 2008. (RTX and MTX only since these are the only ones avaliable in Scandinavia.) I'm only aware of the closed tunnel but when reading the forums I get the...

Ok, got it right then. Thanks.

Thanks a lot for the pics! Do you mean there are also reinforcement rods in the actual lugs. (Not visible on your pics since you cauterize the edges?) Do I understand you right?

Excellent! Did you turn into any glas fibre reinforcement at the side of the lugs? You don't happen to have any pictures showing the side of the lugs?

Ok, so i've finaly made up my mind. I'm going back to a Phizzer! Last autum I traded in my old -08 RTX for a slightley extended -09 Nytro RTX SE (128" Backcountry). Really love the engine and the usuall Yamaha features such as reliability, fuel consumption etc. I've put close to 2000 km...

Carbides are Shaper Bars, the shortest ones, 4.5" I beleive. Re track, the 146" is a 2.86" pitch track wich requires new drivers. My dealer said it will work if I use extroverts and allow the track to run a little bit looser. Length difference btw 144/2.52 and 146/2.86 is quite small and they...

Forgot to mention an even nicer adjustment I did to this sled. Found out that the front sway bar is different vs the Phazer's. On the Venture Lite/MultiPurpose it's adjustable and ours was set pretty stiff. I re-set it to the softest possible just to see what the effect would be. Turned out to...

Well, I had the 144" Crossover track installed at the end of march last year. Very pleased so far. No issues in marginal snow conditions at end of last season. We got a lot of snow this season and the improvement vs ripsaw is quite noticable. Geared down to 17/45 and engine pulls the track just...

The CrossOver 1.5" is also avaliable i 151". At the end of last season I put a 144" CrossOver on our famlity sled, a 2008 Venture Lite, and was very satisfied. Different kind of sled but was a huge improvement vs the stock ripsaw. No issues on trail with slide wear so far.

What gearing do you use?

Just wanted to thank everyone for theire input. Today i decided on the 128" backcountry. No need for locating or building a tunnel extension is a plus for me in my current situation. Will change to extroverts and gear down one step in the process. Last season, one guy in our riding group...

Alatalo, are you comparing at equal length? How'd you rate the back country 128" against the intense 136"?

What skis did you use on your Nytro? I kept the PowderHound's I had on the Phazer. Was quite happy with these but the Nytro is indeed a bit heavier up front.

Actually, no. Well, theoretically I could, but at a higher cost and some wait. Track swap is part of the deal (trading in a phazer) and the dealer has those two left from last season and seems very keen to sell them. I'll have to decide quite soon. Will be away 8 weeks for work starting next...

Moving to a -09 RTX SE for this season and would like to complete basic mods like skis, track and maybe gearing before snow falls. Re track I can choose between 128"/1.75" and 136"/1.5". Riding is ~50/50 on/off. Mainly flat land riding, no climbing but usually a lot of snow! Just can't decide...

Thanks for the response so far. I ordered the 144" CrossOver. Was told the stock gearing is 18/45. To those of you that have changed track on Venture Lite/MP, what gearing do you use? I'm tempted to go with 17/45 since the sled is never used at high(er) speed. Regarding skis I had almost...

Bump! What happened, did you get time to finish this build? What about gearing and clutching? Will your regular clutch kit work with this track?

Need a new track for the family sled, a 2008 Venture Lite, to make it a bit better off trail. Seems like the only trail friendly options are the 1.352" Cobra or the 1.5" CrossOver. The sled is bit heavy to start with and usually carries wife + 1 or 2 kids + packing. Dealer suggests the Cobra...

Ok, thanks. By front, do you mean front shock in skid or the front end shocks?
