    Top speed

    Went for a quick ice fish and then decided to go for a top speed run on the lake into the sunset. Considering only going by the dreameter, I hit 163 km/h. I was happy with that.

    2015 Viper MPI 180 Turbo question

    Hey guys, I bought a 2015 Viper XTX MPI turbo (Yamaha dealer installed with 6000 kms) a few weeks ago. All I have had time to do is turn the key and hammer the throttle. So far so good. Just wondering if there are any known issues or any preventative maintenance I should do. I am new the...

    MPS on 2015 Viper XTX

    I recently picked up a 2015 Viper XTX MPI Turbo. I have been riding around on the lakes and bush trails and notice the steering is pretty stiff, especially when riding narrow bush whacking trails. Not thinking much about it, I hop back on my Nytro MTX and the steering is extremely light. So...

    Mountaintech 38" +3" A Arms Test Report

    I received a set of Mountaintech 38" wide 3+ forward A arms with stabilizer bar mounts on Monday. I installed MPI oilite bushings and got everything mounted on the sled. I am extremely impressed with the quality and build design. The ball joints are super heavy duty and make the Yamaha ball...

    Grizz Gusset

    Well, I finally received my used parts from Montana and installed a replacement lower a arm and shock on my Nytro. The day after Boxing day I nailed a pressure ridge on the lake. It felt like I hit the Great Wall of China. I bent and twisted the lower a arm and the shock. I thought for sure...

    Oilite bushings...can they be removed and re-used?

    I bent my lower a-arm on my Nytro MTX. I am on the hunt for a replacement, but when I do find one I want to remove the Ulmer bushings from the bent one and re-install into the used one. Has anyone done this? I am just thinking of taking a punch to try popping them out.

    Dupont sliders MTX 153

    Dealer sold me Duponts for my Nytro MTX 153. He said they will fit. I put them by my sled and seem an inch or a little more short. Is that okay if they are a little short exposing so rail at the rear? I usually cut my slides flush with the rail.

    Steering Rod length for 09 MTX and up.

    Does anyone know what the measurement is for the steering rods for an 09 MTX and up? I have an 08 and apparently the steering rods are longer. I need to cut mine down to 09+ specs. Mine are powdercoated so I don't want to buy new/used ones. The left and right are differents lengths also...

    Slydog skis and darting

    I installed my new Slydog 8" Powderhounds and my MTX now darts like crazy. It was almost to the point where I felt like I was going to be thrown from the sled while standing up. The skis have Woody's 4" carbides. Can these skis be shimmed? The sled never darted with shimmed Yamaha mountain skis.

    Another shock question

    Are shocks from 08 to 13 interchangeable? Will shocks from a Nytro with wide ski stance (FX, XTX) fit MTX? I have an 08 MTX.

    I have a stock shocks on my Nytro MTX. They are run of the mill shocks with what looks like some sort of bleeder nut at the top. Can these shocks be rebuilt or throw them in the dump?

    Machining upper ball joints

    With the install of my JRE spindles on my 2008 Nytro MTX, I have a positive camber which appears to be out by a half an inch (12.7mm). This is just an eyeball guesstimate. I know with the initial 2008 ball joint mod, the instructions called for a 2.5mm removal of metal to bring the spindle to...
