[rage763]

its all about what you want and how you like it. i agree i wont be doing a ton of these mods as well, but this is my first sled so I dont even really know what im "supposed to want" lol. will be stretching and a new track but thats about. oh and i wont be forgetting about hand warmers either lol

We have about a foot on the ground now. Put my first 20 miles on last night. Man, what an upgrade from my Edge 600! Even without understanding how to tweak my suspension yet, it is so much better handling and comfortable than my old sled... After reading too many of the posts on this site, i was getting worried about whether i made the right choice in buying this Nytro. Why do so many people spend a billion dollars upgrading a sled that is fine how it is? Why not just save the money for your next new one? For me i'll upgrade parts when they wear out or when i break em...

Some parts require upgrading. Crawl under your sled and see whats protecting the engine you like so much. Then take some time and read the 2 highlighted threads in my signature. Learn from people who have been there and paid the price.

Roest,
What is "required" vs desired are often up to the owner... For me, i'll upgrade when the part needs replacement. I'm not gonna take apart a brand new sled, replace every bushing and bearing, revalve or replace shocks, change the track, the skid, etc, etc, etc.. for questionable improvement over brand new stock parts..I did put a yamaha skid plate on my sled for $45, not the best money can buy, but looks decent and will provide more protection than stock. My impression after riding my sled twice now is that it is awesome how it is and that the complaining about yamahas and nytros in general is way overblown. Guess only time will tell if my inital impression is correct. My yamaha jet boat has not disappointed me at all and don't suspect my sled will either.

bjl1050,
At least take the Yamaha skid plate off and grind down the alum. sharp edge that could cut into the oil filter. Won't cost you anything and you'll ride down a field without the thought in your head, shoulda, coulda...
Cheers

I agree with you.

X2! A slight hole in that filter and 5000+ rpm and you will be pulling the motor apart.

i thought that you only have to worry about that if you use a longer filter than stock?or the long oem filter atleast thats what i read.but i havent even seen a long oem filter?

Took the nytro out for the first time My last sled wasa 2002 polaris xc edge 600 and I would say the polaris is a moped and the nytro is a full blown croch rocket. I have never rode a sled with so much power!! It does have 192 studs and schmidt bros comfort clutch so i am sure that helps some. I am sold for life I am happy!!!

And the motor is bullet proof!!!!
