Yes the SE has a different shock package than the LE's
We need to see the 129 RTX LE. The LE and the LE only should have the RR skid. Way different than SE shown.Here is the R-TX SE same skid as the R-TX LE from what I can tell. Hope this helps out.View attachment 122110

What about LTX-LE vs RTX-LE skid?
Does the RTX-LE have the "beefed up" parts that the LTX-LE got hosed out of?

Thank you PS1.They are the same with exception to the shocks being different.
Well that means there is no Sidewinder for me. All you guys ditch banging,Racing and looking for bumps and jumps had better be careful because my viper which is much slower than a Sidewinder could not hold up in the skid when ridden fast in the big stuff. For those wanting to know what to do about this BS which I never ever thought would happen PM me. For the dealers make the calls your customers deserve what they payed for. Terrible decision by Cat or Yamaha but it's the dealers responsibility to hold them accountable.

It doesn't even have to be ridden hard to break. Saw a guy down for 3 weeks waiting for rear shaft on his 14 viper. He's well over 60.I was thinking of a 18 SW but not if this is going on.
