120 hp twin

[pro116]

3cyl

If it dosen't fit they could redsign the chasis alittle bit.I just bought a apex but I also think the 3 cylinder is the smoothest and most reliable engine.

 

[swamps]

well if they dont keep the vector motor i will be buying a lot of used machines...tahts forsure cuz this motor is solid and so smooth...makes the apex feel rough at idle..and makes the phazer...well lets just say i have never ridden a big bore twin but there is a lot of viberation. i called it the nut tickler cuz it viberates right around the gas cap and at the handlebars

Another sales point for Yamaha concerning sales to women. Snuggle up to your Phazer and ride in a snowy bliss. LMAO

LoL good one...

Too much money spent on the 3 CYL to kill it now,next years 120 3 CYL will be in PHAZER chassis.TOO SMALL YOU SAY?just spread the CF plates apart to fit the 3CYL.Different body work for sure. :ORC

I could see yamaha taking two Raptor atv engines to make a 1400. As long as vibration wasn't an issue that would be one kick a$$ sled.

 

[Vmax540]

A 700cc with 100H.p. (Exciter) right between the Phazer 80H.p. and keep the Vector 120 H.p. !

 

[aimhigh]

I think they could get a lot more that 100hp out of a 700.

I would like to see a new range of snowmobile engines based on this: http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/produ ... /home.aspx

Four valve cylinder head, variable length intake funnels, fly-by wire throttle...

Bring on the 120 HP Exiter,would b perfect boosted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IMHO if you want more power, just put on a turbo. the light weight is half the promise of this sled and a big motor wiill just take the weight in the wrong direction.

IMHO a factory turbo phazer would be better then putting in the triple. but i wouldn't complain if they built a phazer-based triple for you guys!

I am 100% in agreement here. getting 120 hp would be a realistic #. Keep the weight down. For the last couple of years all I've heard is Yamaha won't do blowers but I have heard rumors to the contrary more than once. Makes sense more than ever on the phazers. ecspecially on a mtn. version.

 

[actionjack]

Yamaha may yet build a sled or sleds with blowers but I bet they are more interested in building sleds that can compete in snowcross than building a sled with a turbo.

I think there is a larger chance of a factory turbo option being released then a redesigned 3 Cyl/120HP engine. How many years have they been working on the Genesis 80?

If consumers demand more HP they will give it to them, but not without a price, and not by sacrificing all the effort they put into the Genesis 80. Aside from the number "80" the Phazer fills a nice niche in the Yamaha Lineup. If they called it a 100HP sled and told everyone it topped out at 90 MPH, would it really change anything other then your perspective?

IMHO,

[Feetsbig]

Bring on the Exciter

 

[number1kyster]

I think if they make a 100-120 hp phazer you will see it in the wsa snowcross before too long!

A 120 HP, 136" FX would be the cat's a##. But I think they could squeeze more out of the twin 450 (If they choose to do so)
