    Powder coat oil tank

    So I’m installing a belt drive and decided to powder coat the inner chaincase while I was waiting. I put a thin coat and it turned out great. Now thinking of doing the outside of oil tank. I can’t really see why it would be an issue. The thin coating wouldn’t affect heat transfer if it’s an...

    2023 Sidewinder MTX

    Jaret & Randy had a very informative vlog for the mountain riders. Randy(Climbmax) has been awesome for Yamaha and the snowmobile industry. Very passionate about sledding and Yamahas sleds. I was thinking why I keep getting drawn back to riding a Yamaha. I grew up on a snojet sst 440. Then...

    2018/2019 brochure and promotional posters

    So I’m a bit of a Yamaha fan and like collecting Yamaha 4 stroke mountain stuff. Did the 18 & 19 sled brochures go to print? Was there any mtx promotional posters made for the dealers?

    Vertical steering

    Anyone switch to the vertical steering on there sidewinder or older vipers? Like it better? Being 6’5” I’m having issues with the bars being to low. My viper has the lay down steering so the longer riser moves you back further if you want to keep the post parallel with the riser. I was...

    Side panel plastic pin

    So this plastic pin won’t stay in to install the side panel and cotter pin. Looks like some of the plastic broke out. Seem lame anyway. Thinking of riveting the plastic pin in place. Anyone have a fix for this?

    2014 SR Viper MCX 190 XTX 162

    So I had a 174 sidewinder I built in 2017/2018 season. Loved that sled but felt the 174 was a bit much for the type of terrain we ride lately so sold it. Decided to try a 18 cat and 20 alpha. Really enjoyed them but missed the 4stroke power. I wasn’t sure with covid and life in general how...

    Touchy throttle

    Just curious if this is a thing on a viper or something is up. When it’s idling and you touch the throttle with any quickness it dies. If you roll into it slow it totally fine. I haven’t rode the sled yet besides down the back alley. TPS in the diagnostic mode reads as it should. It’s a...

    2014 xtx oil level

    So I’m confused on what oil level I should be following. I bought this 2014 xtx 162 used. The oil tank has a dipstick and sight glass. According to the manual and everything I read on here I should be following 1/2 of the sight glass. or the tank has been updated but how do I tell. Or he...

    2014 Yamaha viper 162

    So I bought this used 2014 xtx stretched to 162. I was taking apart the rear skid to powder coat the arms and noticed a small crack where the scratcher goes. Do you think this is repairable? Thought maybe a quick buzz with the tig. It’s not all the way through to the hole.

    2007 phazer GT 144

    I bought my Daughter(12) a 2007 phazer GT....excellent sled for her on the trails and even my wife. I’ve done a bit of work to it....extended it to 144. Powder coated and wrapped it to match her suit and helmet. Lol. I’m really impressed with how this sled works. Rides like a car on the trails.

    If anyone is wondering what a 2017 mtx with 2018 black mtx panels and graphics look like....here you go. I really like the colour combo...I also powdered the rear bumper as close to Yamaha blue as I could find. Replaced the white and blue panels on the seat with black at a local upholstery...

    Intake air filter

    So most people out west here been install the CAI through the hood. I’d rather not go that route for a few reasons, tree bashing worried about catching it, using a cover would be supper pita, my turbo apex would always form ice chunks on the metal filter housing and break off. Thinking of...

    Sidewinder side panel question

    Have a question on the side panels on the sidewinders. So I assume the part number with comp comes with everything in the dotted line box plus decals? What comes with the other part number? And why is the price in the comp the same or cheaper?
