Be sure and check that your Nytro is properly clutched for your riding area. Mine wasn't and is factory set for over 10,000 feet (I ride between 5000-8000 feet). 
It was a dog until I complained to my dealer, and now I can't believe the difference.
The only reason I became suspicious, is because I rode another Nytro on a recent trip and there was no comparison......

You might want to watch your tach cus it is a great tuning tool. You want to be about 8900ish at wide open throttle. Pretty basic stuff.

Did your dealer re-clutch for free? If not you might want to talk to them. Mine was done free under warranty

I had to pay for mine, $320 for the new top gear, chain, spring, weight rivets, gear oil, and labour. I was able to keep the stock parts though.

No, they're still trying to charge me for it!! I called Yamaha Canada customer service, it's been a week and they still haven't called me back with a verdict.
I've had to drop $4000.00 on top of the $12,000 I paid for the sled, just to make it perform as it should "out of the box".
My perception of Yamaha as a company is changing, and not for the better!!!

RX1 are in the range you mentioned, APEX'S are slightly higher...tapex_07 said:
"nalgene77" I'd fight this out with YAM Canada try this # 416-498-1911 and ask for "CUSTOMER RELATIONS" and just explain to them your hole story...

Don't waste your breath ! I already checked on it with Chris Reid, and the clutching changes are the "customer's responsibility". If anything positive comes out of it, please let me know. Good Luck

$4000.00 for tuning a clutch is way beyond highway robbery! IMO, find a new dealer to service your sled. A good dealer would know how the sled should be setup for his area in the first place and sale them that way. If you ride out of his area then I could understand the improper setup, but not to the tune of $4000.00.

I should clarify something before we start handing out the pitchforks and torches! LOL
I meant to say that all the mods I've done (below) for $4000.00, I don't think I should have to do to a brand new sled.
My dealer wants $318.00 for the clutching, but I still feel I shouldn't be paying for it. The local dealer should setup their sleds for their local customers elevation. JMO

They should. I moved to Alaska this summer and that is why I got mine reclutched.
On a side note Kamloops is beautifull. My wife and I stopped and visited some friends there on our way up.

my dealer is putting the low elevation clutch kit in my nytro for free... he told me I could ride it the way it was but I would bounce off the rev limiter more than likely. That being said I don't know what that all includes, if it is just the weight rivets or if that is a different spring as well?

Your dealer is paying for those parts from what I was told, and everything included in the sea level kit is listed in my first reply above ^^^

My dealer did everything as part of his setup, geared down, rivits etc. All on the dealer, but why setup for 10,000 ft out of box,odd!!
