2020 Sidewinder or Tcat?

[ROCKERDAN]

Did you ask if Yamaha & Textron have extended there current sled building deal ???

Those Reps literally wont tell you anything....And they seem to know nothing. lol .

Shows are only good for one thing, to see the colors....that really about it!

I hope that helps but I thought the moisture in the hose would also freeze on occasion which could cause excess pressure and blow the oil seal? I thought something more simple like a venting oil plug/dipstick would correct that issue. I'm no engineer but if it worked on the Japan built sleds why wouldn't it work on these oil tanks? Or why not just heat the whole length of that hose including the rov valve.

I hear ya....I believe the heated ROV will work, at least it wont freeze, I think the hose itself prior should remain clear and then heat under hood takes over.

I will always run a ROV delete hose either way so it doesn't matter to me. I would have rather seen or been told other more important changes.

If I worked for YAM/CAT....I would make the proper changes, and have a chain case OPEN on a table showing all the upgrades. Way too many people here having same issues. I went down the list of my issues, and they act like its rare and internet hype only. And say thousands are out there with no issues. Typical response.

Massive ball joint, still found a way to fasten it with a TORX lol.
Is the upper A arm and ball joint a direct fit to the 2017-2019???

Doubt that....Would need new spindle too.

Yeah I do think the new front end will be even better, and does looks incredible. But what bothers me is NOONE had an issue with current front end! Why would a company make changes to something that did not need fixing/changing and continue to turn a blind eye to MANY huge issues that cause catastrophic failure....Just makes no sense.

My thoughts exactly.
If the spindle is only longer below the lower A arm.......?

Just back from the show....got tons of pics of all trails sleds from Yam,Doo and Cat.....

One little tidbit I liked seeing in person is this. Not that I want to recirculate all my oil vapours back into my intake track, but it does show someone is listening to us here on TY. Northern REP could not divulge any info whatsoever on all our other issues that I cornered him on....Grrrr.

And BTW, Tcat spindles(color)just dont look good IMO at all...But the Tcat price sure looks good.lol

Heated ROV(not big news to many im sure)

How's the Yellow MXZ XRS in person? I loved the color of the 2015 XRS with yellow/red Ronald McDonald look.

Pics.... LE.....Striking color combo, but def not for me. Lots of people did seem to gravitate to these though.

 

[ROCKERDAN]

More pics...SE....My fave for color combo. Blue skid and blue/orange in seat looks nice. Taller seat on XTX beside it is taller MT seat like mine, feels perfect height, trail seat feels low to me.

 

[ROCKERDAN]

Pics....GT, decent price comes with heated seat and THREE Qs3 shocks. Very "pretty" but not a huge fan of color either.

The Blue LE looks pretty good, but needs a different windshield

That is a very nice color! If I keep mine I might order some of those orange panels and have some stuff powder coated!

Viper, Very awesome to see this sled back with new Plastics,New Low Window, SE gets Halogen headlight while GT gets LED(Winder) headlight. Very cool to see so much less under the hood, more room, less weight, diff oil tank then winder, plastics do not remove quite as easy(main section down front needs two screws removed like 2s cat plastics) And best of all NO rear heat exchangers whatsover mean little to NO ice at all in tunnel, has front radiator with fan so no overheat worries.

Waiting for SRX pics! Didn't see a glimpse of one anywhere in the background of the other pics, hmmmm...

I don’t have any pics but saw the xrs in Lake Geneva at snocross. The yellow is sharp. I’m a fan of green and thought I’d like the renegade, but after seeing it the yellow mxz is sharp.

Thanks, that's my feelings as well when looking at the pics.
