    They are a Yamaha part. They are listed on in the accessories section on the Yamaha webpage.

    duponts on Fx Nytro XTX

    Ditto - I was burning a "regular set" in about a 1000kms on my xtx. Put the Duponts on for this season and I've done my 1000kms and they're still in really good shape. Only thing I thought was funny was the lack of a wear line - so I scored my own in the side of them.

    Ride quality

    I bought a '10 xtx and I'm very happy with my decision as well. I came from a 121" Polaris and I don't find the extra length detrimental on trail at all. If nothing else the added length is an asset when bridging bumps on rough trails. If you look at year to year of the 121" and the 144"...

    Fuel pump relay freeze up

    I have the "updated" fuel pump relay in my machine - got it in the first season after I was left stranded at my ice hut. I was just speaking with Yamaha Canada because it froze up again this past weekend (along with my starter relay). I have a 2010 Nytro XTX and the original ones are stamped...

    An opinion needed..

    I hear you on the heavy steering. I have an xtx and was blowing corners (understeer) with factory skis and was talked into C&A Razors, and now I have heavy steering. I did the oft relocator and yes it helps. The best "bang for your buck" is turning up the front shock spring in your skid -...

    hyfax

    Got mine at my local dealership - reg price is 67 bucks each. Some might sell it to you for less. Proof will be in the riding this year - only have 2km on them so far. From the positive reviews I've seen on here - I'm hoping they were worth the extra cash.

    09 subframe.....

    Ya the front end on my xtx is like how yours is Tyloooor - pretty sure I did it hitting an old ice fishing hole at near top speed. I can't tell the difference in how the sled works today vs. the day I picked it up - aside from the fact that I'm bitter that it's some how tweaked. I chose not to...

    Clutching 101

    I've been on the fence about what to do with regards to clutching so I'm intrigued by this as well. Perhaps another question to ask would be the advantage/disadvantage of using an aftermarket setup (Ulmer/SB/etc) vs. stock bits available from Yamaha that I see people chatting about on here...

    Why the OFT Steering Relocator?

    You would likely see all the benefits of the locator and be able to stay a "sit down" rider if you were to simply rotate your bars back in the clamps - thus lowering them and bringing them back a bit. That being said, I've never actually tried that type of setup. Mine are pretty vertical in...

    Why the OFT Steering Relocator?

    It's a good mod for sure. Like what others have said - makes your steering more of a flat plateau. Kind of like comparing a steering wheel in a car to a steering wheel in a bus. I find it's easier to steer strictly because you don't have to lift - it's more of a push pull now. The addition...

    What's the best/simplest bumper hitch for my Nytro?

    It would likely give a tighter fit. I have the bigger of the two on my xtx and I don't find it slops around up and down or anything. Kinda strange that the 7/8" one is 10 bucks more. 7/8" is 22.225mm so you'd likely have to open it up just slightly (when I measured my bumper with a caliper it...

    What's the best/simplest bumper hitch for my Nytro?

    That's the style I have on mine - inexpensive and works well. I pull an Otter 2 man ice shelter with it and no problems. Even pulled my 5x10 wooden shack with it for a couple years and it held up. Only thing I had to do was replace the pin with a bolt and nylock nut as the pin wiggled loose...

    Installing skid tips

    A couple of the lever operated ratchet straps with everything hooked up did the trick for me. I went from the top of the torsion springs down to a shaft at the bottom/rear. Helped align the back holes when bolting it up too. Also used a floor jack under the skid because that thing is damn...

    rear carrier/fuel caddy

    I put them on my xtx when I'm going places where I know fuel is more sparse. I don't find that they interfere at all with my feet, riding position etc. They're pretty far back towards where the muffler is. I was more worried about them leaking being bounced around towards the back of the...

    Ontario Exhaust Limitations

    Thanks for the thread Yammy - as soon as I saw Bracebridge I laughed because that's right where I am and I get stopped all the time (especially on the weekends). When I first moved here I had an XLT with a DG can on it that I rode with for years - got busted with the 110 ticket the first time I...

    Ontario Exhaust Limitations

    I've had my 2010 xtx since new - it's out of warranty now so I was thinking of doing some mods. I like the look of the Ulmer Trail Performer kits because you basically get what you need in a package while saving a few bucks (I was currently leaning towards the #4 kit). My question is - I live...

    C&A Ski mounting and front end question?

    You can run the bushings anyways you like. They're just meant to widen or narrow the ski stance. Front end play is a little subjective - I'm not sure if there is a standard tolerance (maybe ask your dealer?). I would think that if there's enough play that it would even seem excessive that I...

    Nytro gas milage

    As bad as I think my range is on my sled, I always beat those who I ride with at the pump. I'm typically riding with skidoo guys, and small engine skidoo's (both are standard Rev's - one a 550F, and the other a 440 race sled). If we go out for a ride and start out on a full tank I woop them by...

    C&A razors or Outlaw

    I have a set of Razors on my xtx - and yes you can run the stock rubbers with the skis. Mine showed up with the wrong rubbers so I used my stock ones until they showed up.

    air box mod

    Nice results! Does anyone know how this mod stacks up against the K&N pod filters? Obviously this is cheaper, but I'm talking performance wise.
