2017 BTX Serious problem

[snowbeast]

That's not right get an attorney.. my sled has a tor code so Yamaha is on their way to inspect it ... I'm not expecting gracious apologies.. their just trying cover their #*$&@.. if they do anything im sure it'll include a nds

Ya,we thought about it,but I decided to start the rebuild myself and a friend who is a mechanic at work,so my money is now spent rebuilding my sled I dreamed about all last year,but at least now,i can run a tune and have no worries about warrenty,sense I don't have any.

Is there any reason at all, that it would not be in the best interest of an OEM to have a sled equipped with a tether? I can't think of one. Anyone?

and Yamaha said I should junk my 17,000 dollar 137 LTX-LE

Did you have insurance on said $17,000 sled? Wouldn't they be taking care of it as it sounds like it would be about totaled?

I agree 100% and have posted about this in other comments.

A tether should be 100% installed on 100% of the sleds in todays market. I know the tether on my sled has saved my #*$&@ and my sleds a few times.

No insurance,it happened on a wendsday and was set to buy it on Friday,was in back yard,riding 5-10 mph around yard,and I jammed the throttle to see how my 192 studs hooked up on 2" snow,i guess I found out alright,its all on my shoulders,so far only things worth saving are A-arms and shock on left side,ECU motor intake,front bumper and intercooler,and plastic on LH side,jackshaft driveshaft track tail and rear bumper hood and brake caliper,most everything on RH side junk.

All Yamaha PWCs have tethers from what I can gather.

Peter,
I believe that all PWCs have a tether because the US Coast Guard requires it. (See paragraph 15 in this link) https://www.usps.org/national/vsc/conductvsc_files/pwcvsc.htm

Hi,mine does to,we raced it on grass,and one of the tracks required a teather cord,so I went and bought a viper cord,it works fine,as long as you have it hooked onto you when needed.
