Personally I would still take the higher mileage one for the mods already on it. Those miles are really nothing on these sleds

SE for 6200$ and the mods. That's good stuff and a rareish sled.

Between those two sleds, go with the S.E., the front shocks, tunnel, and rear shocks (I would still sell them and use that toward new ones) are more valuable alone. With the additional stuff on the S.E. you could sell whatever you don't like/want and recoup some as well.
At 3200 miles, you may or may not need some of the common issues fixed. spherical joints (ball) may be ok but if you have the warranty still, and there is play, you may want to see if YES will cover it. If not go with the one sold here, buying OEM replacements will likely get you a years (2500 miles) at best. Exhaust donuts would need a look regardless of which one, should be covered by Y.E.S as well, exhaust stuff is always covered as the EPA requires it to last X years. Of course all the stuff that was already mentioned. One failure point I dealt with on my S.E. was the rear suspension front-arm bushings, were the arm bolts to the tunnel, there are steel sleeves and bushings pressed into the arm. I don't know if the steel sleeves are made from the softest steel available or what, but I wore away about 3mm of the side wall in two seasons, and I grease the sled before every trip. I don't know if anyone here makes a kit but if not they should, I turned some new steels (you could probably use NEW stockers) and some oil-lite bushings for the arm, much better life and you maintain skid alignment. If you talk to Ulmer he may be able to machine a set (if he doesn't already).

Well guys the 09 se isn't going to work out. After is bottom dollar price of 6200 plus tax,doc, and reg. fee's I simply just can't afford it. I was unaware of how pricey tax and doc would be. So back to more shopping. I'd prefer to just find one from a private seller. SOMEONE FIND ME A NYTRO!!!!

I just let my 09 SE with OFT relocate, Carbon bars, RSI heaters, Curve skis and Exit shocks Go for $4500, Even threw in some boots extra carbides and new front torque arm
There are deals out there.
If you do buy an 08 I have a brand new 2012 front end(subframe spindles shocks ext) Never seen the snow

I have a line on a 08 quite a few mods including a 2011 front end-subframe,a-arms, and spindles......So far it sounds like a pretty damn good deal and the guy has really helped me with a lot of my worries with this sled...I'm thinkin this may be the one. But damn thats a steal on your nytro.....how many miles?yam177 said:yami123 said:Well guys the 09 se isn't going to work out.

Now it is in my garage! 2300miles - 700 cross country race miles.

Needs some paint work and some other things, but the more i clean the happier i am with it.

Any pics of that 08?

Hey guys, I ended up buying a sled and need some help deciding on handguards. It came with the skinz ones that just velcro on and i'm not a fan of them. I'm looking into RSI handguards, as the sled has RSI bars, my only question is will the mounts that come with the handguards work fine on the RSI bars, i'm assuming they will but just wanna make sure.

Nevermind guys I ended up just going with powermadd handguards with the universal mount kit!!
