    Bought a new AC Riot today

    After 8 years my Viper MTX 141" was just getting to the point it's either trading time or soon I'd need to start investing money into it. It was a good sled, but I always wanted something a bit easier to handle for Black Hills trails and off trail. I started on Cat and rode them until I had 3...

    “Where are the rest of the Yamaha snowmobiles?” and speculating about our future.

    For several years we’ve been saying that maybe Cat would sell itself to Yamaha, but then the Textron purchased happened. After that many have suggested that Textron would sell the snow line to Yamaha, but I honestly don’t think that will happen. The fact is Yamaha could just shut down the snow...

    Just got a new '16 Viper MTX 141" SE

    Anyhow they had a couple '16 MTX 141"s left over at my local dealer so I decided it was time to trade off the '12 Nytro XTX. I'm not concerned with the "new" engine because I will never turbo it. Anyhow I'm excited to ride this "extreme" crossover or "baby" mountain sled... however you want to...

    Phazer engine in a ProCross

    Has anyone noticed that there is no "3000" series engine in a Cat this year? The 570 fan is a "2000" and the 500 L/C is a "4000" so why did they skip 3000? Hmm... A Phazer engine in a ProCross for 2016? Remember when Yamaha registered the SR Viper name they also registered SR Venom and...

    How about a Cat ZR/XF 7000 area on TY 4 Stroke for posting?

    I noticed over on Arctic Chat they added a Viper area to post and I thought it would be sort of nice to have a 7000 area over here to post for the Arctic Cat guys who might want to visit with the Yamaha guys about this series of sleds. I know it would probably be ok to post about the 7000 in...

    My Dad's new XF 7000 LXR

    My Dad has been riding Cats for 42 years and this is number 20. Sadly it will probably be his last at 76 years old, but he is still in great health and loves to ride. I never had much luck getting him on a Yamaha over the years and he was pretty upset when I switched over, but now we are sort...

    Mountaintech Skid Plate Does Work!

    See what happens when you run over the top of a buried steel post? Without that plate it would have caught my heat exchanger!

    Surprised by the 2014 Nytro. Anyone else?

    I have to admit the Nytro coming back to the line for 2014 almost surprised me more then the introduction of the Yamacat Viper. I figured only the Apex-Vector-Venture and possibly Phazer would return. I was looking at the '14 XTX 1.75 and it actually looks really nice for next year. I like...

    Tweaked sub-frame on '12 XTX

    Well this was my own fault, but I hit a rock under the snow today and after I noticed my left shock isn't in the center anymore. It still has plenty of clearance, but it is back about 1/4" or so compared to the right side. Upon close inspection I noticed a tiny bump in the middle plate circle...

    Trading a 2005 RS Rage for a 2012 carryover XTX. Questions.

    Well after 7 good years on the Rage I felt it was time to finally get a new sled for the winter. A little background on me... I live in the middle of the Black Hills so that is where I do 90% of my riding since the trails are just outside my door. Snow can get deep here, but usually we have...

    Correct oil for '05 RS Rage

    I have been using 5W-30 Yamalube CW-4 cold weather formula in my '05 Rage since I bought it since that is what the owners manual called for. I notice they now offer 0W-30 Yamalube 4-S extreme cold weather, which appears to be a synthetic oil. Can I safely use the new oil since it does not...

    Swaybar mount fragile!

    I just returned from my Christmas trip to Dubois, WY and the snow and riding was great! We rode about 300 miles. The snow was soft so I spent most of my time on the trails. I ventured off of the beaten path a couple of times and just my luck I came in contact with a nice big old rock. After...

    2005 RS Rage ( I am new here and new to Yamaha)

    Well about a month ago I returned from being in Iraq with my Guard unit for a year. When I got home I used some savings to buy myself a present. I got a great close-out deal on a Blue 2005 RS Rage. I love the sled. I got to ride it and put about 300 miles on it. My Dad and I went out to the...
