    Options for one last 998T

    For me, a '25 XTX LE w/EPS is the best Sidewinder I have owned! I have an '19 LTX LE with Elka Stage 5's and a '23 LTX LE w/EPS all with TD Jukebox Tunes. The ride of the XTX LE is awesome and once they added EPS for the final edition, I jumped on it. The fun factor with the uncoupled skid...

    2020 Yamaha Sidewinder SRX IQS to QS3-R conversion.

    Looks like I have something new to do this offseason. I'll be looking to do the same and sending out to @cannondale27 when I get all new shocks and springs in. Thanks for sharing this build!

    Ice Arrowhead holding up?

    A bunch of lugs ripped off! I didn't get a chance to inspect my entire track as I just noticed it on my last ride of the year, but at initial glance I saw 9 lugs missing once I got my sled loaded in the trailer. Conditions for the 1,000 miles where is pretty good conditions, with about 650 up...

    Ice Arrowhead holding up?

    I just pulled the trigger on the Ice Arrowhead 130 as well for my XTX 146" track. Stock Cobra 1.6 didn't even last 1,000 miles this year. Looking forward to a stiffer track with more traction and the Ice Arrowhead should be the ticket.

    Your next sled is going to be???

    Here is a video a recorded of our ride a couple of days ago in Northern WI. Fast forward to the 23:50 mark. From that point shows you how fun the XTX is being able to lift the skis at will if you want to add a little fun factor into some of the trails.

    Your next sled is going to be???

    You can probably have a service pick it up and deliver it. My buddy bought me my '23 LTX LE (another story) and had it delivered from Ohio to WI for like $700.

    Your next sled is going to be???

    I mainly ride in Northern Wisconsin in which we have a lot of tight twisty trails and usually take one trip up to the U.P. The tight twisties are not a concern and easily stays planted and the ease of power steering makes it so much more enjoyable in the tight stuff. The 146 soaks up any rough...

    Your next sled is going to be???

    I'm sure these are going to be very hard to find. Dealer told me these were probably the least amount made for 2025. If you can find one, you won't be disapointed.

    Your next sled is going to be???

    I'm planning on staying with my two Sidewinders for many years to come with my '23 LTX LE and '25 XTX LE, both having Power Steering. With the '25 XTX LE having power steering, it really is the perfect sled with its easy steering, great hookup, very playful lifting skis up at any point, and the...

    Can you install the LE QS3 center shock reservoir down?

    I did this on my XTX LE 146 this year. I had to get different bushings for the inlets as the sizes are different when flipped. I don't exactly know if this would work on the LTX LE 137, but it works awesome on my XTX LE 146.

    TAPP ramp wear?

    When I ordered my Tapp Roller Spider when they first came out, Tapp recommended the Blue spring as they were having some cases with the Black springs breaking. I actually like the lower/smoother engagement the Blue spring provides.

    Paging Ms. La Niña, Ms. La Niña pickup line 998....

    So you removed the rubber breath guard on the Mission and it still works great? I was going to remove mine this year to try it to see what the results would be.

    heated seat wiring

    Yeah, I just put in the new OEM pad with the High Flex wire. It's about time as I think this is my 3 or 4th replacement pad.

    2024 SNO Check.....146 or stick with 137

    I pulled the trigger on the last day to get a '25 XTX LE w/EPS. I really wanted the power steering and was super happy to see Yamaha add it for '25. I figured I will give it a try and see how I like it as it looks like it is going to be a really fun sled. I'll still keep my '23 LTX LE w/EPS...

    TAPP Set up 998

    Well, I had bought my new TAPP with button spider for my '23 LTX LE at the end of last season and put it on for just one short ride. To be honest, in the offseason I saw a new shiny object that was released, so I wanted to do some type of upgrade to my sled and bought the roller spider...
