Made in Japan?

[stevewithOCD]

Factory rep was at my dealer & said Sidewinder made in Japan. 4 guys backed it up what he said. True or not?

Would be nice but don't think that's the case, motor is but I don't think they would ship all cat parts to Japan and than back to us

The engine and related components are made in Japan, the rest is produced in Thief River Falls.

How sad are we that we're hoping it's "made in Japan". We need to fix this country. Another forum alltogether

I just wish Yamaha would design and build their own chassis, here or Japan.

These new sleds will be built on the 7th year of production for the procross chassis. It's safe to assume Cat will be coming out with a new chassis in the next year or two.

Based on Yamaha's previously chassis, are you guys really telling me you want to role the dice and take their next chassis rather than the next Gen cat chassis??

I don't care where my next sled is made. I don't care if it's green or blue. If it's a better product with a high end Yami motor in it I'm happy.

Your aviator says ottawa so here in Japan is confusing.

Here, as in North America or Japan.

Ultimately, I would like it to be built here in the USA, but have the same or better quality of the sleds that are/were built in Japan. That is a win/win!

I absolutely do not want my next Yamaha to be built in Japan.
