I have been doing a ton of reading on this sight for the past four months or so. An abundance of great info on here so I decided to join. I must give bottlerocket some public thanks as he has answered alot of questions for me about the XTX over the phone (common problems the good and the bad etc...). I decided to go ahead and snow check a 2012 and must say I can't wait to pick her up....long summer I reckon! I have owned both Cats and Yamaha's in the past and am very excited to be owning a brand spanking new XTX this fall.

Congrats and welcome to the club

What summer mods are you planning?

 

[snow broke]

Unsure on any mods at this point. I am a bit concerned about what the warranty will cover if I go adding certain items such as exhaust (thinking Hindle from what I have read) I wonder how the newer ski's will behave? Since it is my first Nytro I will definately be doing some suspension adjustments, again from what I have read on this forum...any input on warranty and mods that wont effect it are greatly appreciated....

 

[bottlerocket]

You said you wanted a new one! Congrats....

Congrats and welcome. As I am sure you have found this is the best sled site out there, everyone here has thei 2 cents to add but the difference I have found is the 2 cents you get here is worth it and good advice from good people. As for the Warr. My dealer told me to do what ever I wanted to do to the sled but just keep the stock parts so they could put them back on in case yamaha asked for pic of the sled. Sounded lime a good deal to me so check with your dealer to see how far they are willing to go to help oh out. Look into the YES war. 5 years for $470. Can't beat it.

Thanks for the warm welcome and advise. Any idea how these"New Ski's" will be? What carbides would you all run....? Thanks again!

 

[beeze455]

Call your dealer and say you heard if you spring checked a sled you had the option of a 1.75 back country track. If they say they dont know ask them to ask the yammy rep.

 

[snow broke]

Thanks beeze will do.....I assume a much better track than stock? I ride on trail 50% and off 50%.....

 

[mcamzr]

No idea on the skis. I swapped mine out before I even rode it (I hade them already). For carbides that is all on you. Are you studding, changing, an how do you and what kind of riding do you do? I run C&A Razors with a 9pm sharper bar and no studs on the 1.25 ripsaw. But I also have a RTX not the XTX so I would think the XTX guys will have much more useful info for you on ski and carbide setup.

 

[snow broke]

For the first season will probably keep the stock skis but i am well aware of the inadequate wear bars most new sleds come with, just curious....probably no studs this year ....easy to say now though!

 

[beeze455]

I also swapped my skis before I even got on my 2011, but the 12 has different skis. Very few people will know how those handle. Most people run two carbides, but I went with 6.9 pilot skis and 7.5 shapers.

What did you ride before?
