    prefilter hack?

    Hey guys, last year in a cataclysmic crash I lost the prefilter off the intake for my turbo. I've ordered a replacement (weeks ago!) and it's still weeks away but we've got plenty of snow and I'd really like to get out with some friends this weekend. Is there anything you guys know of that...

    Flipped Nytro oil leak

    Hey guys, Let's say I hypothetically took a friend out sledding and he hypothetically dumped my Nytro xtx on it's side... repeatedly. Oil of course spilled out due to the lack of a rollover valve. I've pulled the covers off and cleaned the godawful mess out of the engine area, but is there...

    About threads in aluminum steering linkage

    After a catastrophic crash resulting in a bent subframe (among other things) I'm helping to put my sled back together with aftermarket a arms and steering links, but had a friend suggest the rods are a little on the short side. I've included a picture of the (aluminum) rods and the tie rod end...

    stock 2012 nytro front end parts

    Hey guys, after crippling myself for two weeks crashing into a rock I'm now focused on fixing the offending sled. I hammered an 18" rock in the ditch and bent for sure the lower a arm, upper a arm, subframe and possibly wrecked the GYTR gas shock on the right hand side. Anyone have leads? I'm...

    2012 xtx track upgrade

    The title is a bit weak, I've already got a 2" takeoff track from an 09 RMK, but I've read conflicting reports about fit. According to the measuring tape I stretched in front of the existing 1.25" ripsaw I figured there's about 2.5" of space if I take out the protectors ( I know they need to be...

    Nytro popping ignition fuses

    When the sled is turned on, the 20 amp fuse behind the right side panel keeps blowing. Can anyone tell me what might be causing this? What wires would be affected and is it necessary for me to start unwrapping them all and visually checking them?

    The sled is dead

    I was innocently trail riding and after accidentally hammering the throttle to lift the skis (since I don't want to wear them out ;) I had a situation where Mr sled wanted to head for the bushes and buck me off. In a panic I was able to grab the handlebar from underneath on my way off the sled...

    When to rebuild?

    I've got a turbo'ed (mcxpress 180) 2010 nytro and compression is between 175 - 185 psi. According to the manual it should be between 200 - 230 psi. It's running okay now, but how concerned should I be?

    2010 MCXpress turbo nytro MTX idling high?

    So I picked this sled up at a swap meet and brought it home untested (the price was right, but of course one expects potential problems). The previous owner had it for nearly all of it's life, and told me every km on the clock was put on in the mountains. I took it out a few weeks ago, and it...

    I have a screw loose.

    Hey guys, I found this nut laying below the brake rotor as I pulled the covers off my nytro to change oil. Does it look familiar to anyone?

    What's this Nytro worth - need to know in 6 hours! ;) ;)

    This is an mtx I came across yesterday. The guy's got plenty of extras, and I'm pretty sure the machine is worth the money he's asking. What would you guys say it's worth? It's only been ridden in the mountains. He wants like $3500 for it.

    C&A Skis/carbides

    So, after some searching and reading up in forums it looks like (in Canada) the c & a skis are the best bet. I'd like to go with curves, but shipping and $$ exchange is going to be too painful. I've narrowed it down to the XT, XCS, BX or MTX. Not to mention a choice of carbides - c & a pro...

    Curve xsm skis, oft relocate

    Looking at dumping some money into the Nytro. I'm tired of being a snow submarine, and I hear the oft kit is a must have. What can you guys tell me? Does anyone have a set of the skis they would part with? I'm a Canadian so I expect that puts me at a disadvantage.

    About cooling

    Just curious how it gets done with the Nytro. I know a lot of guys that are constantly worrying about overheating their machines especially in the absence of powder. I've run on 0 degree (C) days pinned for extended periods of time without problem, but I do notice some warm air making it's way...

    Bent sub frame?

    I was doing some ditch banging and hit a steel pipe. Wasn't going very fast, maybe 25 - 30 kph and the pipe was laying at a 45* angle. I felt the front end of the sled jar and upon inspection saw the lower a arm was twisted upwards in the front when I looked at it from the outside. Well...

    Nytro vs skidoo 800

    So, after a few offers I finally traded saddles with a 'dooer. What a surprise! Honestly, I expected more. In my mind 20hp + 100lbs lighter = a big difference. In reality though, opening the throttle on either machine is a rush! There is a little more push I admit - but it's hardly...

    Sway bar removal

    Finally got some snow(!) and went sledding with a few 'dooers - they all had a narrow ski stance and were set up for the mountains, not to mention more experienced than me. Okay, now that I've put the excuse out I saw they were sidehilling WAY easier than I was. In talking to one of the guys...

    Your biggest splat

    Well, I had my first serious wipeout Friday. I was doing about 40kmh through the ditches and hit the accelerator to jump what I thought was an approach - my high beams revealed nothing suspicious. Then all of a sudden I'm flying through the air and the sled comes to a dead stop on a pile of...

    Parts sources

    Hey guys. I just launched 'bob' into a gulley 30 feet through the air and into a pile of rocks. Miraculously, all that seems to be damaged (0ther than myself) is one lower A arm on the right hand side. Is there anywhere I can find this part outside of dealers? I saw in the kimpex book...

    Hand problems after an afternoon's ride?

    Hey guys. I spent about 5 or 6 hours on the sled Sunday with minimal rest. I will say it seemed to me the throttle flipper was oriented rather high - I think the last owner moved it to be more behind the broken hand guard, so that maybe caused my wrist to be in a somewhat awkward position...
