New Nytro Owner

[Nytro-glycerin]

Just bought myself a 2010 Nytro XTX with 2900 km's. Completely stock, the way I wanted it. I have a few questions about this new to me machine. It has ice scratchers and is studded.

- Gas: Supreme or regular? What does the factory recommend?
- Oil Change - Can someone point me to a link or post of how to do an oil change on my sled? Incl Oil filter change.
- Chain case: where is the thing? LOL And how do I change the oil in it?
- Reading about bushings up front sometimes needing to be changed. What is the deal with the bushings, and are they okay on the 2010 model?
- The machine didn't get ridden last year, is there anything I should check?
- Any fluid levels I should check? How do I check coolant level?
- Skid plate, worth it? What type?
- Type of sliders to get

Also curious about How I am supposed to adjust the rear suspension. Little bit to soft for my liking, and I will be riding two up often this year.


Any other tips/pointers would be appreciated. I come from the dark side, long time 2 stroke owner and have upgraded BIG time for my standards.

Thanks all,

Cheers

Check out the nytro FAQ thread, it will answer most of your question.

Here you go you can download this to your PC. It covers several models including XTX so pay attention to what you are reading and its the XTX spec. Oil changes are the same for all Nytros, chain case should have gear oil change once a season and adjust tensioner per manual. I wouldn't ride mine double, but that's up to you. http://www.marclatulippe.com/ManuelShopMotoneige/Yamaha/Yamaha 2008-2011 FX Nytro.pdf

Forgot to add the skid has the extra wheel kit installed.

Thank you For posting the manual, I appreciate it. I dont plan on doing too much two-up riding, just when I take the girlfriend out on the sled once and a while.

I just installed the 4th wheel kits this year on my Nytro XTX and the wife's Vector LTX. If your studded its the only way to go. Plus a little extra insurance if you loose a wheel in the rear.

Did the skid's originally come with only two inner rear wheels? Silly design in the new sleds if you ask me.

No they come with 3 wheels
