Don't think its factory, somebody built that

Well the snowmobile division went south under his watch, shame really, must have been hard for him to announce and explain why Yamaha was pulling out of the snowmobile industry, wonder what the new stickers will look like for the 25s

Check the bearings behind the driven upper and lower, repack them with grease, grease the suspension there's a few grease nipples that need to be done, spin the idlers to check for roughness, I always sprayed undercoating on my suspension and the shock when sitting over the summer, I use rust...

There are a couple of Yamaha dealers in this area selling CF Moto as part of their business for the last year or more, CF Moto makes a decent SXS now, best warranty in the business and their SxS comes with lots of options that you would have to order separate for other brands, not sure on how...

The Japs knew then.

Never say Never

No I'm not kidding, yes their rear suspension wasn't the best but you could not ask for a better engine RX1 from Yamaha or not, clutches and chaincase were top notch, their gages and some of the electronic tech is top notch also, still trying to figure out all it can do, yes the Apex had some...

I don't think it was a easy decision, Yamaha was a leader in every snowmobile they made, every engine they made was the best, other OEM's were always legging behind, some of the tech on the Apex is still ahead of some new sleds today, the 3cyl 998T is still the leader and will be for a long...

What the future holds, and what the rest of OEMs are stacked up against, Yamaha might have seen this in the future and exited focusing on what they are building themselves right now.

What kinda strikes me funny is we all half to meet emissions whether your running a new snowmobile ATV or SxS, cars, all new big trucks and heavy equipment have to meet tier 4 emissions, not one thing said about all the planes flying over head or ships sailing the sea's, some ship companies burn...

It will have to be the younger generation that will have to keep this sport alive, but sadly environmentalists, tree huggers, special interest groups and many more are stacking up against this sport, they are painting us all environment and noise terrorists with our 2 strokes and 4 strokes...

Thinking Polaris may wedge their own new 4 cyl 225 hp 4 stroke engine in a sled, they may even turbo it, Polaris alway's use to put out a hot rod sled, maybe they will, their new 2L 4 cyl with a turbo in a sled would be fast, real fast, they may take over the Winder's title, just a thought

I just hope Yamaha continues with the SXS and ATVs, the Grizzley hasn't really changed much, few things but nothing major, they need a new paint designer in a bad way, the Griz colors are ugly, the new Re-max is a nice buggy though, the wolverine and there sport SXS hasn't changed much either...

If Cats new chassis does not improve sales and more interest Then Textron will cut their sled division also, they better slide a 850 in that chassis and a turbo 4 stroke soon, I give them 2-3 years at most and their done to.

Yamaha has always been a motor company first, the new Yamaha bean counters cut the Yamaha sled pride and signed a deal with the devil ended their sled making day's in 2014, but on the good side Yamaha built us a unbeatable new turbo, 2018 the last Apex and a few more leftover 2 up chassis and...

Yamaha will drop a turbo 4 ST in the Polaris chassis, Polaris will paint it blue put some fancy shiny Yamaha stickers on it, you guy's will be right back in business again, best power and riding sled you ever owned, your now riding a Yamaha again:rofl:

Not sure why all the sad faces, my god Yamaha hasn't made a pure Yamaha sled sense 2018 with the Apex being discontinued, few utility and touring sleds after that, CAT, YES CAT has been making the sleds sense 2014, the joke has been revealed, your blue Sidewinder is....a CAT, Yamaha is a motor...

Yes that is high milage and still going strong, love the made in Japan too, no problem with Hyfax as of yet on my Apex, but I upgraded to the 135mm idler wheels and the Dupont slides when I first got her, there's about 2500kms on the slides, plus I run with the scratchers down when the trails...

My Supervisor was snowmobiling in NFLD Canada and came across a lodge on their travels, the owner of the lodge rented out snowmobiles, all Yamaha Ventures, 2 of his rental sleds the kms on them were unbelievable, one had 60,000Kms the other 80,000 kms, still running strong, that would be...
