Almost rx1, those items only take a couple hours to install, I'm sure you will find an evening to get it done, probably the same evening you bring it home. lol Hey good luck and hope you get it in the next couple weeks.

I talked to my Dealer and Area Rep. They told me no problem snow check deals still stand even if sled is late. I never got it in writing either. I'm going on faith.
They said my sled would be in by the end of the month. Give or take!

Great news! (at least for me)
I just got a call from my dealer and my sled will be arriving tomorrow and should be ready to be picked up at the end of the day.
Unfortunately I won't be able to pick it up until Monday as we're heading out to the Toronto snowmobile show.
I'll probably stop by the dealer to pick up the owners manual (evening reading) and check it out before heading out though.
After sledding for 27 years this will be my first new sled and first Yamaha (I feel like a kid again...).

Check the sled out closely, and ask the dealer about it. If possible, go and see it while its in the crate, and check the serial number. The reason I say this, is because when I bought my sled, almost every dealer in the state was out of blue models ('03 model). My dealer had a red one on the floor, but I wanted blue. After some phone calls and dickering, the dealer said he could get a blue the next day and have it ready for pickup the following Monday. It was supposed to be some dealer swap or something. Sounded fine. I get there to check the sled out Saturday, and liked it, but noticed that the skis were kind of scratched up, and there were a few other minor scuffs. Nothing to lose sleep over, but it didn't look quite a pristine as I was picturing my new baby. I pick it up Monday, finish paying for it, and find out that the deal we had worked for some accessories mysteriously vanished...because of the "dealer swap". Paid the cash for the sled, with some regrets. Get sled home and find the track was loose, and the sled wouldn't move. Bring it back to the dealer with orders to fix it NOW (which they finally did), and got a cover for cost because of the issue. Talked to the tech, and found out that sled was actually supposed to be the dealer owner's sled, and was actually already sold to him and it was at his house before I bought it! The ski marks were from him trying it in the grass, and the track was loose because they were going to stud it! It turned out that I was also screwed out of some of the warranty, because the date had to go by when it was sold to HIM. So I get a used sled, shortened warranty, and still pay new sled price. What I'm getting at, is to make sure you have a brand new sled, not something the dealer had to pull a fast-one to get. You never know what they will do when under pressure.

The sled didn't arrive Friday. It was on the truck "out for delivery", but it didn't show up until Monday.
As soon as I got the call that it arrived I went down to the dealer and watched them finish unpacking it. They like to leave the protective wrapping on the hood until it's assembled (I left it on), but I got a little peak at the hood - that candy apple red looks nice!
It could have been parked in my garage tonight, but I'm getting them to have custom license #'s made up for it.
I still have so many jobs to get done before the snow flies, but I'm still wishing for snow now!
One thing I found odd was the center rear idler on the rear axle is off center. It looks like it's supposed to be that way, but it still looks odd to me.
