Don't you mean the official AC release on March 3? I don't think we can expect any other surprises after AC "lets the cat out of the bag" other than BNGPower steering on a few models. Have to wait until the official release on March 9.

I just hope I can get a sidewinder or thundercat WITHOUT P.steering. Why you say? Because its yet another thing to go wrong right along with these shocks on the dash. Want nothing to do with either

Liquid EFI Phazer Motor in the Venom Chassis to offer a four stroke counterpart would be a big hit in my eyes. It would be everything the phazer wasn't. That's such a waste of a great motor to not see it used anymore.

I don't think you will have to worry about that too much. 1. Yamaha will probably offer it as an upgrade on spring order models (or all models if they only spring order) 2. It doesn't say EPS, so if they just licensed the mechanical power steering, there should really be nothing to fail. And they better not upcharge you for a change in mounting points.

Just not my thing YETI don't think you will have to worry about that too much. 1. Yamaha will probably offer it as an upgrade on spring order models (or all models if they only spring order) 2.

I had wrist surgery a couple years ago. This year I went to double downs runners to make it steer easier. Might just have to upgrade to power steering sled.

Why does the Yamaha release seem to always be last? Doesn’t make much sense to me, particularly with the AC release a week earlier.

The power steering unit is the same one they have been useing on the APEX I doubt there will be any issues with that.I just hope I can get a sidewinder or thundercat WITHOUT P.steering. Why you say? Because its yet another thing to go wrong right along with these shocks on the dash. Want nothing to do with either

Phazer motors cost to much to manufacture they are long gone just like the Apex 4 cyl. The Blast was supposed to be a cheap sled but it came in way over budget that why it cost what it does. If they would drop the price 2 G'S they would sell a lot more of them. They would be $10.000.00 with that 4 Stroke Phazer motor.Liquid EFI Phazer Motor in the Venom Chassis to offer a four stroke counterpart would be a big hit in my eyes.

Bueller says new Seat Heaters coming our way ......
Not adjustable though....only Hot Mode!
View attachment 160117
Seat heaters would be like coolant sensors. You know thermistors. They have a lot of resistance when they are cold. And least resistance when there hot. You know like our Ladie friends! Hope I don’t get cancelled for this? P. S my wife has been complaining about no seat heater for years! Hope Yamaha is paying attention.

Well Polaris just released their sleds and damn near every one changed. They also have a boosted 2 stroke for the mountain guys. They are a company that ACTUALLY listens to their customers and gives them what they want. Cat better have some tricks up their sleeves because if they don't they are going to loose a sh!t ton of market share especially in the mountain segment. 2 Manufactures down 1.5 to go.
