I use to run them but don't anymore.

Put them on my 1200 Doo in hopes for finding just one lousy MPH. Didn't happen. NO GAIN in MPH at all.

They may last longer however, but not worth the price. Also, the Dupont does not go all the way to the back anyway, so that's where the wear happens.

I believe they were originally made/designed for the APEX back around 08 or so? I know the "real" yamahas need them as YAMAHA designed their idlers to allow wear(basically smaller idlers then other OEMs).

Guys on the Doos love them now, cause they all see how fast the DOOs wear at the bend, however most change them far too soon on the Doos, as they wont wear thru once the wheels take over at the bend.

Cat chassie definitely the best I've seen on slider wear in many many years.

For those interested in the DuPont slides for their 2020 X-TX LE, they cross-references to the 2018 S-TX DX 146 (which the Yamaha site DOES list).
