I have the Yamaha Sidewinder XTX 141 SE.
Yamaha skidplate
Icescratchers
Yamaha handcovers
CA PRO boondocking extreme

Running time: 7.8 hours and counting
Distance: 78 kilometers (most of it in deep powder)

Just about the only negative I have to say is that I got a crack in the instrument cluster which appeared sitting on my driveway before the first drive and without external force. My dealer has already ordered a new one due to tension in the actual glass. Tomorrow is going to be my next trip out and we are planning to go hunting for som fast trails to see more of what she can do when you push it some further.

Here she is, sitting in the garage just before our first trip together.

When mounting the handguards, did you have to move the throttlelever and the brakelever towards the middle to attach the handguardbrackets?
P.s nice sled!!

Is it building ice in front of the intercooler? Not so much Cold air going thru there. Gratulere med en fantastisk rå Yamaha

It builds Ice but it is not fair to say that it builds ice in the intercooler since we Went throuh lots of snow before the picture was taken and the winder does seem to Gather snow up front... no overheating problems so far! Tomorrow is a new day and we are planning to go on a 50km ride.

[BARK-A-LOUNGER]

You're welcome! I have read just about everything you guys have written about the winder for the last six months so I felt I needed to give my impressions once I had the opputunity.

Well I for one really appreciate you giving us your impressions.......keep them coming!

I estimate around 1,6litres per 10km so take that and convert to non-metric. IF you want exact Numbers I am going to refuel this week.
