2022 Lineup

[fatchance]

Yamaha should use this platform to Poll potential buyers as to what features they would like to have installed on there sleds in the order of importance. It wouldn't be a free for all like pick your own options which could be difficult to produce on an assembly line, but potentially a more appealing set up.

Seems allot of guys would like these aforementioned options, but there isn't a model that tics all the boxes.

Agreed fatchance I'll tak a Srx qs3r on 4 shocks not 3. Power steering, blue, heated seat, medium windshield 1.25 ripsaw. I was told they looked (possibly on here not sure where else one would look) and didn't see a great demand for power steering on the Srx.

I'm leaning towards the T-Cat if I trade.
My favorite colour package is the ltx se, but it has the base shock package.
Early depositors should be able to build their own sled. If that was the case I would get the se colours, QS3-R shocks, 1 inch track, power steering and heated seat.
The Cat also has a new primary and Yamaha hasn't made advancements in that department.

I was VERY CLOSE to going tcat. I just couldn’t get past the clutches being new and 270hp. I like the idea of a lowered ride height and Qs3 shocks verse the SE standard shocks. I think the tcat with a green wrap on it would be very slick. I like the green they used in the 22. Not much of it but with a wrap that’s hot green splashed in? Yes!

At the very least let us choose shocks and EPS. It’s not like they have 6 different shocks to choose. You have 3 options. I don’t care about EPS but I still think a customer should be able to choose it

Is the Power surge the best offer YAM makes on new sleds?
"Offer valid 3/9/21 through 4/17/21"

IMO yes. A few years ago not so much. The issue with waiting until fall is your going to be at the mercy of the dealers and what they have in stock. AND the price. This year was a classic example. I bought a new 21 Cat in December. If I would have spring ordered (snow megeddon) I would have paid 1k less. I feel with the gift card and bag and finance option YES spring order is good this year. And quite honestly the way they all run such tight inventory(no leftovers). If you want a sled you better order. My opinion of coarse.

The issue this year is finding a honest dealer that will take a decent amount off retail on these new ones. The market is in favor of the dealers and manufacturers NOT THE BUYER.

IMO you are correct

Welcome back! Have not seen you comment much on here.

Acknowledge thanks. I want EPS, not debatable. I'm in the process of putting a few offers in and see what happens. See where I am on the new sled vice GSE purchase and install. I doubt Yam will allow retrofit EPS.

Yes, yes, yes. They light up, arctic cat hand gaurds that I painted yamaha blue and made domed decals that say yamaha to cover the arctic cat.

Glad I bought my srx last year spring surge. Much better deal I got 2500 off 500.00 gift card medium storage bag and sled cover. I have not heard anything close to last years deal. Also 3 years of warranty.
