2500 km broke primary spring, in for throttle body issues, battery lasted 2 weeks, had to do the update 2 times. I think some of it was dealer issues, so I changed dealers. My 2008 Apex was way more fun for speed but this 2014 Viper is tons of fun on the trails and off the trails. Plus if you get it stuck its not the boat anchor the Apex was.

If you don't care about top speed sled is the best I have ever had. Seating position, handling ( I still have some tweaking to do) is awesome. As for buying a 2014 I would personally wait. This season is almost over. So technically 16's will be out soon and 14 will be 3 years old. You will get a 15 in a few months for the same price and not much use out of the 14. Of course unless price is right but would have to be a heck of a deal. Just my opinion.

rode my wife's zr7000 at the beginning of the season. I was sneaking her sled while she was at work! She eventually caught on and started bringing the keys to work with her so I sold my 11 venture for a viper! BY FAR THE BEST SLED I HAVE EVER RODE!!!

Over 4000 miles on mine did all the updates and a few mods and nothing bAd to say about it I love itAny reason not to buy a 2014 sr viper??
Got a chance to get a great deal on a 2014 SR viper
Doing some research i found that has some issues not starting in cold an bogging down , are these isolated incidents ?
any know problems?
anyone will lots of miles and no problems
One of the reason I buy Yamaha is for dependability If the viper does not have it I would rather Just go with vector
Let me know what you guys think.
