    Will Carbides from Yamaha Tuner 2 skis, fit on Tuner 3 skis?

    I have some Carbides from my old 09 Nytro and I am wondering if I can fit them onto my new Tuner skis on my 16 Viper? They are at another location so I can't check. Thanks

    Medium or Tall windshield

    I am ordering my new 2016 Viper LTX LE and I want as much wind protection as possible. I DO NOT want to look through the windshield. I want to look over it. Anybody know if that should be the case with the tall Yamaha Windshield?

    Best, most comfortable Viper for groomed trails

    Well I was able to test ride some sleds at the Snodeo in NH this weekend. I ride mostly twisty trails in NH and many times they are beat and bumpy. I never go off trail, it I do like being able to get good traction in loose or icy conditions. On Friday the snow was thick and ungroomed on the...

    Calling all ex Nytro owners

    I have an 09 Nytro XTX and I love a lot about the sled. It has been flawlessly reliable and the power on tap is beyond anything I could ever use. All I have ever done to it is to add yamaheaters to improve the heated grips and added Yamaha tuner skis to resolve the darting. My big complaint...

    How does the newer RS Vectors with EPS handle?

    I have squealing on my Vector at idle after it was serviced at the shop. Not sure if they switched my belt or something (it was 2 year ago) I have done a bunch of searching and it seems that the solution is to remove some shims from the 3 bolts on the secondary clutch. Does anyone have...

    loggage or luggage rack for back of Nytro

    I have some saddle bags on the Nytro but they are full of stuff and could use more storage. Anyone have any suggestions for a rear mounting luggage rack or hard case luggage for the rear of the Nytro? Is there such a thing or does the exhaust get in the way?

    Pros and cons of deeper 1 3/4" track OFF the powder

    Can anyone comment from experience how the deeper 1 3/4 treads perform compared to the 1 1/4" stock depth tracks. Obviously there is some improvement in deeper power, but I am wondering what are the down sides on Ice, hard pack and trail behavior and handling. Without picks in the track...
