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.

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...

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...

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...

I tried to get out of the sport, but found I simply couldn't do it so I picked up a used 2015 Viper L-TX late this season. It has 5,600 miles on it and I'm not sure of the level of maintenance the previous owner performed. With the price increase of 2023 sleds I want to run this one until it...

I'm looking at buying a new pair of skis and have narrowed it down to XPTs or Curves. I'm leaning towards the XPTs with 6" shapers. Does anyone have suggestions based on running either one? If yes, which ski and carbides have worked the best? My goal is to minimize push and darting.

At what point of adding horsepower should you change fuel mapping? I'm running Bikeman exhaust, going to do the Stingray air box mod this weekend, and putting the Big Venom clutch kit in. Is there any benefit to adding a fuel controller at this point? I don't think I have to change my...

The new VLOG shows a Viper GT so there is at least a Viper model remaining. However, it is ugly. Maybe that is the plan to appease those still waiting on their 2022 spring orders.

I see Polaris just extended the time to order a 2021 sled and offered 48 month 0% financing as well. Is there any chance Yamaha might extend program time or sweeten the pot?

If I owned a Ski-Doo or Polaris and had a question or gripe and posted it on "Doo Talk" or whatever Polaris has is there any chance their product manager would personally answer? Maybe their too busy thinking of a new $500 add on to add more profit to a sled purchase... One thing I can tell...

Does anyone know if the new skis are available for purchase? I would love to give them a try on my Viper.

We whine too much. Yeah, Yamaha did not develop a cutting edge new narrow chassis with a big screen T.V. stuck in the dash. Do I need a cutting edge new chassis? Well, I can't ride the Yamaha SRV chassis to its limits. Nope, Yamaha didn't introduce a new "Yamaha" engine, but what is wrong...

As I read through the pre-release gloom and doom I feel I need to put this out there. If someone needs to jump to the Doo or Poo side to keep their happiness I am willing to take one for the team and take one 2019 Sidewinder L-TX LE off your hands so it doesn't fall into the hand of the...

I'm not big on turbo sleds for the riding I do so I think I want to take the turbo off of one of my sleds. First, any known issues taking a turbo sled back to N/A? Any idea of how much an MPI turbo is worth if sold used?

Quick question, I have my ride pretty much dialed in and am going to run Tuners this weekend. I have calibration recorded so I am good there. My question is this, if I ditch the Tuners and go back to C&A Pros is there a rule of thumb for setting rebound for a change in unsprung weight?

Playing with setup today and found a setup on the 2020 Viper that the Tuner 3s really like. Front end 1.13 inches of sag, skid 1.25 inches of sag, limiter in third hole, 6" shaper inside and 4" carbide outside. Running aggressively with about 2.5 inches of fresh snow over hardpack and...

Has anyone raised the seat on their viper? I would like to get my seat up another 1.5 to 2 inches to help the transition from sitting to standing. My first thought is to fashion a block to install under the seat, any thoughts? My second question is if I would have to adjust suspension if I do...

Anyone in northern WI or the U.P. have trails that are holding up?
