Go to the skidoo forum (http://dootalk.com/forums/) and most of those people would be on there 3rd or 4th motor with that kind of mileage. Gotta love yamaha motors!

I put 1,100 miles at the start of the season before Christmas on my 09 Nytro XTX for a grand total of 10,100 and sold it because my Christmas presant was an 11 Apex XTX. I put 3924 on the Apex XTX for a grand total of 5,024 for the year. Only repair out of the ordinary was having to replace the drive shaft after it broke with 8,600 miles on the Nytro XTX, all other things were the normal things mentioned, wheels, handwarmers, donuts, and Y pipes.

So true for the Ski Doo grenades
Have run 3 of my friends sleds right to the ground.
Reliability, there is no doubt with the Yammie.
Ski Doo most times Ski Don't

06 RTX
Going on 11,000 miles with no major repairs and running strong. Stainless Y-pipes with original driveshaft and jackshaft bearing(repack yearly). 4000 miles on hyfax with PP offset and still looking good. Other than buttons the clutches are untouched. Rear heat exchanger, updated radiator and Ulmer bushings in the front. Lots of lube and good storage

Did you install a 1.25 cobra track? Any difference in top speed? Unbelievable,sounds like if they had good exhaust donuts and stainless y-pipes in 06 there would have been no major repairs.

First I heard of a $300.00 entry fee into the country. You don't need your gun up here. We won't shoot you.
Oh...I have a grand total of 1600 miles on my 08GT
