    Who is running or has gone back to Tuner ski?

    Have not seen any mention of these on this site until now. I guy turned me on to these at the Bergland Bay Bar last month and said they were the sh%*. With 2000 miles on my current set up I will try these on the next ride. Cost is $100-$130.

    Pilot 6.9 ski's installed

    Another 700 miles last week in the UP. Did not mess with the shocks but this trip the conditions were totally different. 2' of lake effect snow at Lake in the Clouds, 2 ' of powder on Lake Goegebic and trails that were 1 lane only due to the amount of snowfall last week. Again I was totally...

    Sidewinder Problems and Warranty Items.

    I had this happen in Copper Harbor on a -12 degree morning after I had my 500 mile check up done on the 2018 X-TX SE 141. It blew the silicone gasket on the oil tank. Once it leaked out to the breach it ran like a champ for the next 100 miles. There were many comments on what it could be, but...

    2400 miles/2 years so far on the original belt. It looks fine. I do a lot of lake riding too and have had no issues. Everything is stock.

    Pilot 6.9 ski's installed

    I too felt like I purchased the wrong sled last year with the 2018 SW 141 until I hopped on this forum. These guys are great with info sharing and step by step instructions so once I made a few suggested changes this is a wicked sled. Yeah I have had better out of the box but this one was worth...

    800 miles now on the new pilot 6.9's and I am going to order the mps rig from the Barn. Did 3 days, 650 miles and my shoulders were hurtin. Not sure if the 137" makes any dif but on the 141 it was a bit rough.

    Pilot 6.9 ski's installed

    Rocker D, great info on the pilots. Last year purchased the 2018 SW X-TX SE 141 and the steering was week at best. My issues out of the gate besides the wear & tear on the arms was that it pushed or understeered in turns. I was set to purchase an MPS kit when I saw this thread. If money was not...

    '18 SW chaincase issue

    Just contacted dealer and they have nothing from Yamaha mentioning a replacement part. Unfortunately it doesn't surprise me, with exception of these great forums, getting real intel on this has been like pulling teeth

    '18 SW chaincase issue

    Thanks for the updated part info. One would wonder why Yamaha would not make that known to people who have had the issue. As far as keeping your machine outside I am not sure how to avoid this when on a trip away from home. Everyday we start out with temps of -20f or below. We warm up our...

    18' Sidewinder XTX - Off trail sled or not?

    Pulled off the trail the other day to chill a bit and apparently hit something on the side of the trail but didn't feel it. When I started up again I had no power. I stopped and looked under sled to see the bottom ripped open. I could not believe that I saw what looked like 1/16" aluminum for...
