Not sure what Derek experienced but in my short run there was some vibration at an idle, but nowhere near as bad as my buddy's Skidoo with the windshield-mounted mirrors.the SW's are not that old, what happened to the original motor? Joe
Derek, congrats the sled looks great and huge difference from the 1049. how do you like the rear view mirrors, any vibration ? Joe

Compared to my Venture mirrors, they vibrate a lot at idle. But in the lake at speed I could see my nephew behind me on his RR6000 no problem, and didn't notice any vibration that would be an issue.
I can already envision getting a taller windshield though.... think I got spoiled with the jumbo Venture one .
I will say that the ink blue is pretty nice in person. I was mildly hesitant from the online pictures, but it's really quite nice once you see it live.
Some other customers' LT-X GT was getting prepped at the dealer when I was there, so I checked out the blue seat - not bad at all, but I prefer the all black on the S-TX.

I agree Derek, the black offsets some of the blue.Thanks Joe.

Wow, look at the stamped bracing on the tunnel. It's the first time I noticed that, I wish they would do that on the other modelsThanks Joe.

thanks Derek, I do agree with the Venture big windshield...it makes a huge difference, I could ride without using the shield on my helmet which is nice.Thanks Joe.

Is there a larger windshield that fits the new sidewinder? I was under the understanding from the accessories book that the LTX-GT EPS was shipping with the tallest one available.thanks Derek, I do agree with the Venture big windshield...it makes a huge difference, I could ride without using the shield on my helmet which is nice.

It lists the stock windshield as a "medium" windshield so IMO that would indicate that there is a larger available.Is there a larger windshield that fits the new sidewinder? I was under the understanding from the accessories book that the LTX-GT EPS was shipping with the tallest one available.

The Yamaha accessories catalogue at the following URL has a good windshield comparison chart. https://7d89079c.flowpaper.com/2022SMPNAUSABrochure/#page=43
