No amount of weight loss will make that thing a mountain sled. Leave it at home and borrow a real mountain sled.

Sorry man, I don't know. I've got a Blue Point kit that I use and just grab whatever works.

Start simple, test for power at the injector clip AND ground when it's commanded by the ECU. I like to use a noid light if you can find one. You can also use a test light during the injector test.

Clearly you haven't brushed up on Yamaha's offerings lately. They are selling the Cat 800 sdi in their sleds again and also selling the 65hp 400cc single in the new entry level and small adult segment. Yamaha bailed on their faithful and have finally realized they needed to bring 2 strokes back.

Atta boy!

Oh come on, no sense of humor?

Thats funny.

Absolutely.....Otherwise I wouldn't have left big blue after 20 years!

The yellow kool aid is delicious!

I’d be cranky and butthurt if I still rode a Yamaha as well.....there, that was a troll. ;)!

Not a skidoo troll, ex Yamaha owner due to lack of relevance in the market by Yamaha. They made the changes and got in bed with Cat and that caused me a significant financial burden on top of loss of reliability. Come riding with me in the middle of Alaska and you'll find out why Doo is tops...

Sidewinders are an extremely low portion of sled sales, almost non-existent.

I think what the Yamaha crowd has failed to understand is Skidoo has been making lighter 4 strokes for a while now. They Have completely run off from the competition for at least the last 10 years, maybe even more than that. I don't think any of the other manufacturers can even see the Skidoo...

I’ve got a 26’ enclosed Charmac and run propane heat (rv style, wall mounted furnace). It works well when temps are above -25f. Below that and the propane won’t flow. I’d recommend diesel heaters. Stay away from the Chinese junk online unless you just can’t help yourself. Go with a webasto...

‘Sounds like you boys in the Midwest are pvssy-whipped into not buying sleds! I’d spend 20k if it comes with a drink holder. :beer:

It's this whole other thing........;)

Then why in the hell are you in a Skidoo post running your cake-hole?

Fact-Doo owns the sled market. They own it for a reason. They make the sleds and motors people WANT. High speed runs across a lake? Sure, that's fun but I need a sled that will do well on rivers, lakes, in the trees and pull a load. Yamaha doesn't make it so I run Doo's. I've been back on...

Exactly. My Viper had chaincase failure, starting problems (wouldn't start in the cold and backfired terribly), front end components came apart in 1k miles wiring problems like a regular ditch pickle (Cat). It was so unreliable I finally got it running and completely moved on from the brand. I...

Compression and leakdown should be performed BEFORE you throw any more parts at it. If those are good, I'd lean heavily towards a wiring problem like a broken or chafed wire. If the wiring harness tests ok, swap another ecu in and see if you have a bad injector driver. I've seen lots of...
