I currently have a 14 viper xtx and have really been wanting to have a sidewinder. Found one with 800 miles on it for a decent price. Just wondering if there is problem years or issues to be aware of. Really enjoyed my xtx but I really like the idea of 200 hp.

One of the dealers here has Blow Turbos. Wondering if they are any good??? I have no idea new to the turbo thing and if he wasn't getting me a deal I wouldn't even be thinking about it. Just wondering on thoughts and opinions on this turbo. States 190-240 hp. Thanks in advance. Sent from my...

Thanks I will check that also when I pull it into the heated shop this weekend and look the sled over again try and also find out where my chaincase oil is disappearing too

No skid plate but I will check the vent lines. Thanks for the knowledgeable reply. :sled1:

I am not expecting 100 miles an hour I am very happy with 85 my problem and maybe I used the wrong term was that I am not seeing full rpm. The highest rpm I am seeing is 8400. I have seen 8900 once and that was after I set the throttle cable too tight and it engaged the TORS. So my question is...

Was out riding the other day and looked at my chaincase level. I was really low so when i got back I ripped all the plastic off and filled the oil up again just thinkingit was a little low. Went for a couple day ride and the fluid level was good. Was out yesterday and noticed that the level is...

Rode 115 miles on 6 inches of soft snow on top of a groomed trail and ended up running out of gas. Had the fuel light come on before and had 4 gallons left. This time I had enough for 20 miles then that was it. A learning process that I will never repeat. Lessons learned and a hour stuck on the...

The trail was well setup with about 3 inches of fresh snow. But in all my 750 miles so far I have never seen anything over 8400 rpm and I find I am watching the rpm gage more than the speedo.

Well just came back from a good groomed ride and decided to really open the viper up to see top speed on this rocket. The fastest I could get it up to was 84 miles an hour and noticed that the rpm was not going over 8400. What do I need to do to fix this. As i have read on this forum that the...

I have no idea if it takes longer because this is my first 4 stroke. Took it out today and saw 86 miles/hr on the speedo. This sled flat out rips.

Well tackled my first oil change in a 4 stroke sled, the directions in the book were very clear and with a little time and some beverages its complete. The only thing people might want to check is the gas tank vent. Mine ran to the bottom of the sled and when I removed the access panel on the...

gonna try a powderkeg on my xtx and see how this fits. I like the idea of the hard plastic and secure latches for all day riding and bringing some beverages along ... Now hopefully it fits and if it does I will post some pics.

Well coming up to the first oil change and I plan on using yamaha oil and was wondering what everyone was gonna use as per semi synthetic or full synthetic oil for their vipers. Just looking for some opinions.

coldest start so far has been -35C and no problems. Loving this sled so far ....

I know. Finally grey cup champs again. There was no ice buildup at all at those temps and that was kinda nice not go worry about. Got the sled flying today and noticed the throttle cable is loose and the squeeze lever is really loose and floping around quite a bit. Gonna try to get that looked...

Well just got in from putting some hard miles on it finally. The sled flat out rips. Smoked my buddies sled in a little race and got to play in some good powder. What a blast to ride this sled. U guys will not be disappointed. Had the sled stood rightupin some nice cattails today and I cant stop...

The woman is riding right beside me on her skidoo and sometimes she is in a hot tub. Anyways here is the first 100 mile review. We were out and it was at most -28C and the sled ran great. The wind deflection was pretty good for the hands and when riding I had to turn the warmers down to low so...

This sled is awesome. The sound gages and really the whole package is awesome. Having a hell of a time with following the whole break in procedure but it will be worth it in the end. Overall a great sled and a compete blast to ride.

Prince Albert ... but I heard up by Christopher lake they have even more snow.

that's what I was thinking .... oh well soon enough I guess I will have to pay for it and I hope its worth the wait ... no I know its worth the wait just frustrated is all. Planned on putting the first 100 miles on it today .... that ride will happen I guess ... one day
