I spring ordered my 2015 Viper RTX LE and received it quite awhile ago. I am still waiting for the MPI turbo kit from Yamaha..... Anyone know when Yamaha will be sending them out or when they should be getting to our dealers?

Any info will be greatly appreciated.
 

Just talked to my dealer who said they had a Webnar about the Kits yesterday and what he could gather is that they were about a month behind. Hope we get it soon because Riding time is upon us and my dealer would rather install the kit before I even use it.
 
The mountain kits all got shipped first. I just got mine last week so im thinking you mid as well just ride your sled stock till it comes in bc it might be awhile. I don't think they expected to sell this many turbo kits

Local dealer has 3 on order. He told me the other day that he was given 3 Feb as expected delivery. None are for me.

our rep in Midwest said that direction and shipping mid to late December .

I was under the impression that 3 Feb was for the people paying full price and the people that waved their warranty and got a special price their turbo's were coming in shortly if not here now, have you heard the same?
 
my dealer was told feb 3 but that is because we just bought the sled last week.
 
why dont you guys say the hell with waiting for mpi and get your hands on another low boost kit?
 
That's what I did. Got sick of waiting so cancelled it and got one from hurricane. While they were at it i had them put their clutch kit in to
 
Because we get a great price and we keep our warranty,i don't have more than an inch of snow right now so it's ok,I'll ride if we get snow no big deal
 
I didn't spring order my sled so I don't know anything about the warranty you got but when I went with the hurricane kit I got a one year engine warranty with it and a one year chassis warranty through yamaha which equals the same as with the mpi kit. By going with the hurricane kit I saved money on the install to. Two hours for hurricane versus the 8 hour estimate for the mpi but mind you mine was the first done through my local dealer. But Dave himself installed my kit

We have the 5 year warranty with the MPI turbo., and got the special price turbo. Matter of fact just got the Y.E.S. plan documents in the mail and it expires in 2019 with a MPI turbo. Why are you saying "wave their warranty" why would someone do that?
 
5 years on the motor? with the yamaha installed kit i was under the impression the motor was a 1 year and the rest was 3 with option of 5. i have 5 years on everything even the motor. unless the turbo causes the problem, (melts a piston or ports the head together) otherwise its covered. if thats true about 5 years on everything thats awesome!
 
I do agree there is some small print " if " the turbo causes the issue that it wont be covered but if its kept stock at the less then 6 pounds of boost I really don't see this being a issue. I am sure this verbiage was added because Yamaha knows their will be guys kicking up the boost so they have to cover themselves some how. Yamaha and MPI have put the trail and mtn kits through alot of testing and some serious abuse. The motor is not what you need to be worried about if kept less then 6 pounds of boost . I'm more worried about the rest of the sled falling about around the motor.
