sidewinder

With the recent heavy snowfall of 40cm I had to slap these decals on and take it for a first ride of the season! More pictures to come.

Hey guys, newbie here. I own a 17 mtx but am looking to order a trail/ crossover sled. Here's my dilemma. I live in Alaska, specifically north pole alaska. We dont have trail systems like alot of you guys have in the lower 48 or canada(largest trail system is like 300 miles). Most of our riding...

I've got a 22 SRX and the volt meter on the dash shows the battery being 1 volt lower than it actually is at rest. Is this normal? If not what could it possibly be?

Have a low mile Sidewinder that has moisture in the speedometer. Was wonder if the viper speedometers with work also if the miles are stored on the gauges or the ecu. Also does anyone have a speedo for a Sidewinder with low miles on it they would sell?? Thanks

Hey all, Not sure if I’m posting in the right place since it’s been several years since I’ve been on TY but many of you on here know how to make some fast machines so thought I would try and get some input. I’m currently setting my 18 sidewinder up to be an ice drag sled for 1000’ runs...

My dad has a 2020 yamaha sidewinder ltx se and at the end of last season it dumped a significant amount of oil into the air box through the large tube behind air filter . I took it to the dealership and they said it was probably a plug vent line as they couldn't find any problems. I just had it...

Switching to the Tapp primary this year and looking for some help/guidance on a drag race set up. I know some of you don’t want to spill your secret recipes but any help would be greatly appreciated. There are some threads on this but nothing on drag setups. Snow drags 660’. Primary spring...

Ordered a 2023 XTX-LE…latest I heard was early January delivery date…anyone else hear of any better updates? Coming from a 20’ Riot so pretty excited to see the 4 stroke game!

Looking for opinions on what a guy should do. Currently have a 15 mtx w/ mpi 190. 162x3” Ice age rails 36” front end And lots of other mods. Is a guy better off looking for a sidewinder opposed to spending much more money on the viper? It’s been a great sled so far. Just looking for other...

Hey guys I was talking to a Yamaha sales rep the other day and i was telling him my plans on buying a turbo viper... He said its not worth it because the 1050cc is apparently not reliable and it wasn't meant to be at the 200-250 hp mark. The guy said I should buy a sidewinder but the price...

I have about 5500km on 129 rtx, the rear suspension seems super soft all a sudden. I have loosened the spring on the front shock in the skid could that be causing the sagging or can it be that the qs3 has failed. My coil spring adjuster at back are 3 (hard) and it seems soft. Sled is gently...

Has anyone ran a hood intake with a stage 3 precision efi tune? Was told it would lean the machine out, but just would like to know the reasons behind it. I wasnt aware of this when i got the tune installed. One of the main reasons i bought a sidewinder was for that wicked thrbo noise they give...

I'm about to order a Skinz seat for my Viper. The Sidewinder seat is for some reason cheaper. Are there any differences to the tank/mounting points on these sleds?

Hello all, Looking for some guidance. I have a well setup 2017 sidewinder LTX LE with Turbo Dynamics multi map bundle and all supporting modifications for stage 6. The sled currently just passed 5,000 miles and I LOVE this sled. It has been a royal pain in the A$$ but worth the problems. With...

Looking to drop from my 2018 Mtx’s 153 to an xtx 141. Curious- are these skids/rails compatible? Reason for the drop: I don’t ride out west anymore and only have time for Minnesota trails and the occasional off trail fart around. thanks!

Hey guys I spun my primary backwards a 1/4 turn while i was tightening it to torque spec. Now I drove it for a mile had a knock sensor light kick on and drove it back home it was running alright, not great. I got to 10 feet away from my garage when it suddenly died. I tried to crank it over but...

Here are the details of my 2 years with my RTX se. First winter I had no tune but a studded track, only 140 studs sticking out 1/4 of an inch above track. This was installed by dealer that didn't understand how to stud a track. First impression was man is this thing heavy in the front. Next was...

Has anybody had experience with these tracks? I bought a Talon 32 after reading good reviews on them. I must say it’s a heavy duty looking track. The lugs are very thick and the clips are unbelievably thick! It looks to be high quality, very little rubber flash, no cords hanging out. It has a...
