sidewinder

I just noticed the book called for 0/30 semi. I just changed my oil with 0/40 full yamlube. I assumed a motor like this would call for full.

Hi, Not sure of you have the same frustration like I do when I see some panels (bottom ones especially) which are fixed with permanent rivets that must be drilled in to be able to remove the bottom panel. I have a sidewinder and Skidoo and both have the same way to fix the bottom panels. Of...

Hey, new to the forum. Looking to get into a sidewinder and want to go out west for the first time. Looking for suggestions on model and year. They have left over 17's but I wasn't sure if any new updates made the 18's worth the extra money? I'm leaning towards a btx 153 With a 2.25 track or...

I'm running TD powertrail, ulmer primary spring, stm weights, stock secondary spring with a 35/39 dalton. I'm not sold on the reverse angle and feel there may be something better out there. In my SRX days we always ran 3 or 4 degrees higher than stock start to 3 or 4 degrees lower on finish. I...

Hi, My Yamaha dealer has had my snowmobile there for almost a month now. This is the third time its been there since buying it on Dec. 30, 2016. I should have known something wasn't right when the sled I originally wanted, the L-TX DX, was sold right out from under me and they could not get...

Went to Quebec for probably the last weekend to ride and it started out amazing. Nice and cold, fresh trails from maniwaki to devils mountain and chevel. Next day was taking the local trail to st. Ann du lac when at about 40-60mph heard a loud pop and clutch winding up...thought I just blew my...

So since I got the new sled I've been doing some of the mods I've always wanted to do like make my own ride light so here are some pics on how it turned out. I should mention I installed the Viper hand gaurds and they work well on the Sidewinder with this mod. I picked two of the indented...

Now that most of the sledding hotbeds are getting snow I'd like to see videos of the different exhausts available running on lakes or snow covered roads etc... Please post them here. Cheers

Hi, I am looking to purchase the new Yamaha Sidewinder . However not sure which one would better suit my needs between the two models I set my mind to: XTX and BTX I do half trail and half backcountry… I like long tracks on a sled but also do lots of trail so I need a sled that’s good for...

After getting some feedback from this site, we are now providing an optimized Studding Kit for all 129" & 137" Tracks (2.86 Pitch). The kit will include the following (Picture provided for reference): -Studs -Nuts -Backers -Plastic Waterjet Template -Optimized Studding Pattern (Paper...

I am trying to get a feel for interest in studding kits for the new sidewinders along with any 129" and 137" track sled. I have put together a spreadsheet which will optimize your scratch line pattern and avoid repeating scratch lines near each other. I have put two kits together for each track...

What is everyone thinking? Getting 200+ hp to hook up and launch on a 137" track will be a challenge. For my s/c Nytro (180hp) I went with pre-studded ice ripper track and added traditional studs, and still had times where hooking up was tough even with the longer track. The 137" track has a...

Hey guys, hope you are all well! It's been a busy spring and haven't had much chance to check out the conversations here. I found out the other day that the Sidewinder has an updated oil system with rollover valve. I called the factory to ask if it was compatible with the Viper to fix the...
