First impressions on my SW now that it's home

[NOS-PRO]

Drove to Minnesota to pick up my Sidewinder Saturday Oct. 22nd. XTX 141 SE Blue and White.

Fit, Finish and Features

Stickers all on nice and straight
Panels fit very tight and are really going to keep the snow out
LOVE how easy the hood comes off
Suspension is the same as my XTX Viper but did notice some little updates like the wheel in the center of the suspension to keep the track from hitting when compressed.
Clutching works so nice and can't wait to tear into it
New style grips will be very nice
The LED headlight kicks #*$&@!!!!
Upon fire up, you can tell the sled just wants to run like a scared deer. Very quick spool up.

A couple things that I needed to double check or didn't like

The clamps on the hoses will need to be checked like anything that is new. I re-positioned 2 clamps cause I didn't like how they were tightened. Usable...but I am a perfectionist when it comes to new.
Don't like that my mountain seat from my Viper will not fit ....dang it!
Not really crazy about the oil level tube on the side of the oil tank....but it is really easy to read.

Otherwise I am stoked!!!!

Have a bunch of new pics on my phone....will upload soon

Going to try a Viper secondary on the shaft to see if it's different and because a lot of people are interested in getting the new roller secondary for there Viper.

Windshield is clear from what I see... They have a blue tint protector on it and it's still in the plastic bag....but it is clear. I will take a pic tonight

Thanks bud!

Right on brother. The only reason I asked as some of the pre-pro like the orange and black versions had orange on the shield.

Not this year...definitely next year.

Stock Viper skis for now while I play on the grass and do some testing.

Yup, tried last night and here is a picture. So....for you guys that want to spend the $$$ you can put a sidewinder roller clutch on your Viper or Nytro.
