Okay well first off I am getting a Nytro mtx soon and am wondering about all of these problems. Especialy with the sub frame nightmares. So does anyone know what is happening and what the chances of it happening? Another question is what do I need to do to get this machine to work its best and be comfortable? ex. how to fix the wet boot, block the snow from building up inside, where to filter the hood from snow, how to keep the ice out of the skid plate. So all of these things are worrying me but from what ive read these are mostly fixable and that the snowmobile is super anyways. Oh yah one more question. What can I do to make this snowmobile the best deep snow reliable machine? Thanks abundle all of you and hopefully i will not be having to much trouble with this machine and it will live up to my 15+ year old enticer which is still trucking along.

1: Don't hit rocks and knock on wood.
2: Any camoplast challenger track
3: Mesh filter all the holes/vents
4: Wear Klim boots
5: Risers/Fox Floats
6: Suck up limiter strap
Thats the usual.

I had the same concerns when I bought mine, so far some impacts and front end is true. Maverick works great, it's just not the best? It took me everywhere the challenger tracked sleds were. I didn't block any vents yet and it does take in lots of snow, but it hasn't caused me any problems yet. No issues with my skid plate either. KLIM boots rock, never a wet foot. Put the Floats on and love them, didn't like the stock shocks. I adjusted the limiter strap and added a gas rear shock, rides awesome! Love the sled, night and day differences over my RX-1.

I have not had icing issues, but my sled is ridden and then stored in a heated garage, so I never get the build up from multiple rides of snow injestion.
I can't say that the front end "so called issues" haven't crossed my mind when I am boondocking, but what am I going to do, not ride it? If it bends, I'll fix it. Or hopefully Yamaha will fix it. I have a 3 year warranty, but who knows.........
I have net experienced the wet foot, but I have great boots.
How to make it the most reliable.......... ride it as is and don't mess with it.............

He nailed it on the head. I'd just like to ad that you can usually find 153x15x2.25 AC takeoff challengers for less than the ones on TracksUSA(I bought mine for $425 and sold my Maverick for $350). And the Powermadd pivot adapter and riser is a must do. You can buy pre-filter material from Ski-Doo in a 18"x18" piece which is enough to the sidepanels and openings by the headlight. This will stop 90% of the sno injestion. Also get the $5 belt holder and move the belt to the top the clutch guard. After a long day of pow riding it's nearly impossible to remove the tool bag from the nose of he sled. All minor stuff. I have 1200 miles on my sled and love. Turn the key and ride
