Exactly my thoughts. Additionally, the Yamaha guys know the chassis and assume they had some input in the Catalyst chassis at some point. We'll never know what exactly happened leading up to Textron pulling the plug. I worked in fortune 500 finance for a long time. There are some hints that...

Agree that we won't see a Yamaha branded sled again. However, is it possible that they would lean on those that were involved in snow line as consultants?

Although pure speculation there are some hints to CFMoto entering the snowmobile market. If they would in fact acquire Arctic Cat, would their current relationship with Yamaha bring some of the Yamaha DNA to Arctic Cat?

Good luck has struck again. Started hearing a concerning rattle coming from the exhaust. Originally, I thought a spring came loose. Well, pulled the panel and the exhaust has what looked like a 3 inch scratch in the middle of the can. This isn't on a weld, but dead center. Put a little...

I would say it is time to send them off for a good deep clean and thorough check up. Thunder Products would be my suggestion. The unfortunate part of owning a 4 stroke, we run long enough that we wear things out. In 2 stroke lives you would be on your third to fifth new sled and you still...

Exactly! No change and limited production isn't a bad thing. Either they are trying to avoid delivering late or it could be a signal that change is coming.

If I understand this correctly 2024 is limited production and Canadian customers have 2 days to order before us in the U.S.? Reading between the lines, either there is a dealer allocation in place or U.S. customers are out of luck.

When the procross chassis is dialed in there isn't a better riding sled out there.

Hang with the 850s? The only place the current version won't hang with the 850s is on the lake. If an 850 is pulling away on a trail it is either user error or bad setup.

Just saw sneak peak on Facebook. They have the old guage on it but also have an optional snowmobile specific GPS unit with a dedicated mounting place under the guage cluster. IMO opinion smartest thing they could have done. There is nothing wrong with the old guage cluster, in fact it is very...

No info given, but look at the 2019 brochure and start shopping. Only question I could imagine is if another model will get EPS. Oh, and what color is in the rotation for this year.

Didn't give any details, just the date. I would assume it will be the same or worse than last year.

Thank you. That is exactly the way mine is installed.

Can anyone post a picture of how the rear arm shock is attached to the skid of a 2015 L-TX? We just went through the service manual and saw at least 3 different placements in diagrams. Mine is setup with the "C" bracket above the idler wheels and the open part pointed towards the rear. At...

My dealer just told me that Power Surge starts 3/16. At least one more year of life for Yamaha snowmbiles!

I had Shock Doc C27, AKA Cannondale 27, revalve my rear shock. Of all the mods I've played with this, by far, made the most tangible difference to how my Viper rides. It went from a suspension tuning nightmare to handling exactly like it should with only a couple tweaks of ski and center...

I tried to remove the rear shocks without pulling the skid and found it pretty much impossible. With the location of the bolts I simply could not get a wrench or socket on them with enough leverage to get them off without destroying the either the bolt or nut.

After missing any chance at ordering a new Yamaha during Power Surge I was giving serious thought into ordering a ZR8000 so I stopped by our Cat dealer today to discuss pricing. Unfortunately, before I got there I saw an article that said Cat intended to bring the ZR 7000 back into the lineup...

Well that was a fleeting thought. I wonder how many units were available.

All of Yamaha manuals lied to me. Viper, Grizzly, and Viking and I've had cold start problems with each caused by tight valves. All before the 2,000 mile mark to boot.
