My 08 Nytro rides and handles great with stock everything other than the Pilot Skis I put on it. Maybe my sled is a freak because I keep reading all these complaints about the 08 Nytro's and after some adjustments mine handles awesome.

I've never had belt issues with either my 08 Nytro or my 06 Apex. 4 thousand miles and the belts still look new and I've never blown one.

My 06 Apex gets between 14-15 MPG and my 08 Nytro gets between 16-17 MPG. These numbers do increase when riding groomed trails at steady speeds without too many WOT blasts.

Why don't you like the stock ski's?

Sorry MrSled, I will keep it civil from now on. MERRY XMAS to you also!

Sorry Dirk but I couldn't read anymore. I think I got to the part where you were walking all over me for the third time and I started to hurt. If I want to read a book I'll check out better authors than you. :moon:

Mike you should have read my ride report on the 2011 Apex last Feb. I reported just what you are finding out right now. I talked about the same old exhaust drone and tank like handling of my 06 Apex. I don't think too many Apex owners think their sleds handle poorly and neither did I until I...

Your buddy must have the only 1200 in the world without a roller secondary Turk. Your buddy must be an idiot to spend 2 grand more when his box stock 1200 would handle the Nytro with ease. You never had slider issues just like your 08 Nytro wasn't twitchy until you sold it! Stock Yammie skis are...

Lets talk about 50 year old tech Turk. Why is it that all the manufactureres are using a roller secondary and the 16 thousand dollar Apex still has slide buttons? Why did it take so many years for Yamaha to offer idler wheels with replacable bearings?? How about a slide rail system where the...

I can't wait to read your review Mike. I know how much you liked your Doo. I felt my 09 1200 was so much better than both my 06 Apex and my wife's 08 Nytro. After riding the 2011 Apex models I wouldn't have traded my 1200 for any of them and my Wife's 2011 1200 Gade is even better than my 09...

I would put both carbides on the Pilot skis. It makes a big difference in anti darting plus it protects the outside of the ski from getting damaged.

I love the candy apple red Apex, thats why I chose that color in 06. Your sled looks great but I don't think it looks any different than my red 06 Apex.

Not really. We are a big snowmobiling family. We bought the property I built my house on in the snow belt on the trail. My wife and I are very active in our club and when Winter is here we do nothing but ride our sleds. I need the extra sleds for when my kids come home or my brother and nephew...

I don't need to justify anything. I have a 1200 X gade ordered and nobody had to tell me what to order. My garage this fall will have a 06 Apex, 08 Nytro, 09 1200 X pkg shorty and a 2011 1200 X pkg Gade.

Thats no different from these forums. Just read about the 08 Nytro like the one I own and everybody here says they are junk. Just ask Turk, he will tell you what a junk pile the 08 Nytro is compared to the 09 and newer ones. Also remember the OP asked about buying the 1200 not the 800 2 stroke...

Re: Thinking of trading my 2010 XTX for a 1200 doo. Should I The 08 Nytro is setup for my wife. Everything is on the softest settings. Before I set her sled on soft I found the rear would bottom on big dips yet ride harsh on the stutters. I'm sure I would have found the right settings for me...

Re: Thinking of trading my 2010 XTX for a 1200 doo. Should I I think you would be very happy with the 1200. I own a 06 Apex and a 09 1200 X pkg. My wife has a 08 Nytro and a 2011 1200 X pkg gade on order. My 1200 is the best sled I have ever owned. I hope my wife likes her 1200 Gade or she will...

Hey shaddow I was being sarcastic with my response. My wife's Nytro now has 4 thousand miles on it with very few issues and no overheating. The upper and lower ball joints have been replaced along with the exhaust donuts. These are things that all the Nytro owners will have to deal with...

Thanks Turk! You know I have to stick my nose in every now and then to keep you on your toes. I've been very busy this Summer golfing, working and getting ready for my Sons wedding.(this Friday) I'm hoping to post more of my great responses come this Fall but for right now I'll just check in...

The 08 Nytro's are JUNK! :o| The 09 and newer are the best by far! They handle, ride, perform and look so much better than the 08 models. I know this because Turk has said this over and over and over again! ;):D I don't know how a great manufacturer like Yamaha could market such a big POS like...
