sj said:the predators name is now the "carve" I believe!
yeah thats what they call it on the camoplast website...but still only list a 121" X 1" lug.
Tracks USA still calls it the predator, with a couple different variations in track sizes.
Its typical I guess, when a company makes something good they eventually have to change it for different reasons. Kinda like the 5.9 cummins and the 7.3L Powerstroke... Good motors that that are no longer with us.

I have been thinking about extending mine out to the 128" also. I race in the USCC and I have heard that the 128" takes the "twitchyness" out of the back end. All the cat's are 128" and it seems to work well for them.
The other alternative is going to the 2010 121" set up with a fully clipped track and ext. drivers. Although I went to the Yamaha parts index and the 2010 parts list don't show the correct drivers and track. It's the same listings and parts as the 09' models. Anyone know how to get the right part numbers for the 2010 stuff?

You could get some Avid extrovert drivers. Not sure which is the cheapest way to go. I just paid about 260 for some 9 tooth avids.

I would have to agree with the 128". I can only compare it to my 121" apex I had before, that thing was twitchy and would tail wag on a fast trail. Especially on decl, partly due to the engine braking, still it just seemed more unstable. The Nytro 128" seems sooo planted and predictable. I'm sure the 136" would have the same result, it just costs more as you need to extend the tunnel, and it MAY not corner as well. The last being argued on here everyday. Mine seems better balanced and overall I would not change back nor go any longer. Unless a 162" was in need. I think Yamaha realized what Cat had known for years and finally wised up to it.
