Sled has 2300 miles on it. Track is like new from what I can see.

According to Woodys stud selector it’s indicating it’s a 2 ply. Woodys claims it can be studded but I just didn’t want to get too close to the front exchanger. So my question really should be SHOULD I stud the 1.6 or swap it for the Ripsaw 2 I’ve got and stud that? The sleds for my son...

I am picking up a 2016 Viper STX DX 137” that has the 1.6 Cobra track. Can a Viper with a 1.6 track be studded? or should I swap out the 1.6 with a Ripsaw 2 1.25” that I have and stud that? if I’m correct the Viper like the Nytro has no heat exchangers in the tunnels but my concern would be...

getting back to the horsepower of the 998, this was the poster at the official Yamaha tent 2017 Fremont, NH grass drags. It’s always been 204hp but for some reason Yamaha has always claimed “180hp class”. I highly doubt Yamaha will increase the HP.

Just curious if Arctic Cat and Yamaha has offered any concessions because you guys won’t really be able to use them this season and they’ll be a year old when you can. My friend snow checked a SkiDoo and got it the last week of January. They gave him an additional $250 in accessories, $500...

Wouldn’t something as simple as this just work? A PCV Valve that has the same thread and diameter as the oil cap on the oil tank. Screw it on in place of the cap. Add some plastic tubing and loop it up and then down towards the belly pan. If the ROV freezes the oil tank builds pressure and...

Here’s a side view of the brackets with the fuel caddy and a Linq bag on top. The Yamaha bag under the seat. And SkiDoo soft saddlebag set on the seat which also works great.

I use a set of SPI Linq brackets you can buy from Dennis Kirk. They are the exact same brackets as Whiteout Technologies and then use a medium Yamaha bag to fill in behind the seat. That gives me the ability to carry one Linq bag or the stackable fuel caddy with a Linq bag on top. And still...

Good catch on the location. That was taken last weekend. ITS trails were pretty bad but the secondary trails were excellent. By now I’m sure everything is really bad to impassable.

Maybe I’m wrong here but I saw some 2022 Thundercat screenshots showing power steering and “200”hp. Now I could be wrong but Arctic Cat and Yamaha both claimed 180Hp through the last few years. Even though we know they dyno for more... Why would Arctic Cat now advertise “200”? Maybe they’ve...

Great thanks.

I have a 2018 Sidewinder LTXSE and I just had the shop install Dupont slides. They literally have only the miles to be brought in and out of the trailer since installed. I’ve never seen this at the front rails. they also installed Barn of Parts cross shaft saver and center shock cross shaft...

Just curious if anyone is Really getting the heated blow off valve covered under warranty. My dealer made an inquiry but was told the heated valve is considered an accessory so Yamaha won’t cover it even though I had a freeze up and my oil tank seal leaked. I called Yamaha customer service...

I agree with you biffdotorg. There will always be complaining. You can’t please everyone. But you can please more of us by making a better product. Acknowledge they have an issue and take care of your consumer by fixing it right. It appears Yamaha is no different than the auto industry...

I am the only one left in my group of riders that owns a Yamaha. Everyone else either have been diehard SkiDoo owners or have switched from Yamaha to SkiDoo. It was the reliability, fit and finish as to why I’ve been a buyer of Yamaha for so very long. My 2011 Apex XTX I owned for about 5k...

JMS - does that mean that Yamaha is looking at and going to recall the drive shaft slop, cheap bearings that fail, bolts falling out of the tensioner, blow off valve freezing causing the gasket seal to blow out on the oil tank, etc? Yamaha must have spent tons fixing all these issues under...

The executives at Yamaha should either get a bonus from Textron or be fired for their decisions on the 2021 release. Or if the Japanese still believe in employment for life for their employees those Making the decisions in the snowmobile division should report to their new position with their...

My buddy rides a SkiDoo. I just asked him if he’s seen the 2021 Yamahas and he hadn’t so I told him to go to arcticcat.com. I needn’t say more to him. He totally understood. I’ll say this, it’s not just this site blowing up with displeasure and disappointment. Every Facebook post about...

JMS. Maybe you could comment since you are directly from Yamaha about the lack of quality in the Sidewinder/Viper sleds. It’s obvious you are reading these posts today. Have you been reading them about the issues that most of these members have had with blow off valves freezing, jack shaft...
