That is a TON OF WORK ! But, i guess it's warranted when considering the price of a new one. And, this seems like an upgrade. Id rather have a sled like this, thats been massaged, than s new one anyways. Kudos!

Totally normal..... Whats a lil leak?

All at once.....?! LOL

Hopefully a story will be shared that'll pique our interest as the project progresses...?!

Maybe we should "recreate/copy" the RACE front end?! The Nytro is more reliable than the Yamacat...

I polished the tunnel (again) and went for a short ride around the neighborhood....

They are a 1.25 pitch. The bolts I got from Gordon's hardware in Dekalb Illinois are only 4 inches long. I wished they were longer, but I got them to work. I was gonna weld some other bolts to them to increase the length. But didn't. I guess you could order some longer ones from FASTENAL...?

I just replaced my stator. As well as the starter, the starter "pinion" gear, one-way sprag clutch, flywheel, etc.... The bolts are 7's. We have a good hardware store here. I just the little bolts in and matched them up.

Any updates on how your sled turned out...?

So, who was really responsible for building the subframe & A-arms? I've heard rumors. But nothing definitive.....

Are you saying you have extra A-arms and such...?

I’ll be digging into my 2013 Nytro next week. The stator has apparently gone south. I only measured 40 volts AC @3000 rpm. Gonna change the starter and sprag because I heard it squeaking twice before while trying to start. Should be fun....

I have never ridden a Sidewinder. I’d like to try one. I would like the power steering. I wished it came in a sportier looking package. Something in a 141 maybe? I don’t quite understand why they offer a 146 and a 141? Gonna have to do some research to see what the difference is....

Yup...BG 44k. I worked 16 years as a GM dealership mechanic. We had lots of valve stem carbon/gum-up issues in the late 80’s -early 90’s. The v6 in the Fiero and the inline 6 in the Jeep’s. Damn things wouldn’t start because of the intake valve deposits. BG 44k and/or walnut shell blasting was...

I should’ve signed up long ago. I guess timing is everything and now is a good time .....

Because the alternative has its own drawbacks....?

The Nytro is a good foundation to build a trail-weapon upon. Add some parts to alter the front geometry. Put a “different” rear suspension in the sled if you’d like. Some handlebars, etc, etc....

Imagine if Yamaha had offered the Nytro with this front end to the consumer. The Nytro may still be alive in the Yamaha line-up to this day?!

Here’s a before & after pic
