Interesting take from OnSnowMag of the new Viper

Maybe Yamaha needs to release a very detailed spec list part by part who is supplying what right down to the last bolt. What a can of worms this is getting to be.

Agreed. The more that becomes known about this sled, the more it seems Yamaha is trying to pull the wool over. This is not a new sled. This is an Arctic Cat w/an upgraded engine, clutch & BNG. Disappointing to say the least, I still say Yam is exiting the snowmobiling biz.

Cant wait to see the tool kit..... Metric or Standard?

Same tool kit Cat had before?? The Zuk is metric also.

Mark my words; this is a short lived venture between the two manufacturers.

I don't know? If this sled is a hit all bets are off. And that new 600 smoker they're building isn't direct injected, one would think at some point Cat is going to need that tech?

The only connection will be Yamaha providing engines to cat

I agree...engines and engine tech but Yam will have gained some chassis tech as well, by using the PC chassis they just saved years of R&D, now they can tweak it in house and come out with their own variation.
