Where is everyone getting this set up from ? been reading how cheap it is to replace these gears and chain, and don't know where people are getting these from
 

My XTX's came with them. I have replaced upper gear with new ones as maintenance from Arctic cat. They are about $20 less than Yamaha around here.
 
I kept reading that you could get the gears and chain for under $200. bd extreme has them but they are for an arctic cat 2 stroke, not sure those will work.
 
The 2-stroke gears will not work.

When the Viper gears first came out, they were cheap, like $30 for a top gear, but now Yamaha is over $100 for just the top gear.

I have brand new OEM Yamaha 21, 41, and 86 link chain on hand and sell the combination for $399.95.

Current Yamaha pricing (backordered until June too)
21 top $109.95
41 bottom $135.99
86 link chain $174.99

These prices did not used to be this severe.

Thanks for answering my question. Just got to decide if that’s the route I’m gonna take. I have an ltx and from what I’ve been reading it sounds like a win win
 
What does this change get you ? I have 2016 RTX with Ulmer clutching
 
From what I’ve been reading is that you are coming out of the hole with a little less spin and use the torque of the engine. Possible better holeshot and better top end

moves the clutch 1:1 speed from 105 to 112mph. For some reason the Vipers are far less efficient running near/past 1:1 ratio than previous sleds. I went the other way on my XTX buy using the 24/50 LTX setup to gain more low end for off trail use, didn't seen to hurt top end at all.
 
You wouldn't possibly still have that gears and chain that you would possibly sell ?
 
I think I have a new 21T top gear as well as possibly a used one that I could put a new bushing in. I don't have the 41T bottom gear.
 
ok so this might be my summer upgrade. do you loose or gain any MPG. im not so concerned with a few bucks for gas but don't want to have 25 miles less range in the tank either. Do you loose mid range acceleration or anything ? basically what are the downsides, thanx !
