Ontario SRX yet

[cannondale27]

Still waiting on mine. Last I heard was mid November.
Frustrating even though there’s no snow on the ground!

19.5 for sure then. Hope they turn the boost up and give you guys something better than the early builds.

I am hearing Dec 14 for me in western Canada. This is way too late.

Just spoke to my dealer today (Northern Maine). They spoke to Yamaha as a number of there pre-ordered SideWinders have not been delivered yet. Apparently, Yamaha is waiting for the turbocharger supplier (it seems demand outpaced supply). I should see mine by the end of November.

This seems odd seeing that the number of units produced was drastically reduced this year.

This is borderline ridiculous. Majority of all builds were pre-ordered (with deposit) and dealers were drastically limited to number of in-season sleds (I believe some were limited to only 2-3). DranttelSS received his SRX OVER 2 MONTHS ago! My dealer typically sells 50+ sleds per year and probably has a dozen SRX's ordered and hasn't received one! Appears all Costco members will be srewed out of the $300 Cdn rebate offer for delivery by November 30. Noticed there is no delivery date cut-off in the 2019 Spring Powersurge offer as in previous years. The draw date of December 14 for the Sweepstakes draw pops up. Strange how Moodeyblue was given this same date for his delivery? My Dealer will have to pay all employees OT to get sleds put together (when they show up) and will eat into his profit while still paying them currently for doing nothing or lay them off until units show up. I thought this reduction in models was supposed to help the dealers rid themselves of inventory and be more profitable and competitive? How can a 12.5 Billion $ company (and reputed to be one of the largest motor manufacturers) drastically reduce production and, have the majority of what they're going to produce pre-booked (with deposits) 7 months in advance, not be able to fulfill orders on time? Blaming it on Turbo supplier - nonsense! All the mags say this reduction will ensure Yamaha snowmobiles future. Alarmingly late deliveries, almost any accessory back-ordered for months and consumer rebates missed is the recipe for a bright future? I even tried to order the Black and Blue jacket (without the yellow) on page 9 of the brochure and throughout pics on website and was told it was never included in the jacket line-up? Tell me how that "rosy" future is going to be assured again.

While still on a rant, this is from the June 30, 2016 press release:

"June 30, 2016 (Toronto, ON) – Yamaha Motor Co., has announced that effective July 1, 2016, it will use North America as its global headquarters for snowmobile operations.

The new North American Snowmobile Division will take the lead in managing Yamaha’s worldwide snowmobile business, including product development, business planning, and marketing. The objective is to bring greater focus to North America by increasing speed of product development, improving coordination and efficiencies with industry partners, and better research and product planning decisions due to closer proximity to the market.

Headquartered in Toronto, ON, the division is comprised of Canadian and US-based employees to remain highly focused on both major markets. In addition, Yamaha will increase investment in North American based engineering, research and design."

My local dealer is one of the largest sled dealers in Canada and the largest or top 3 annually in Ontario. He is located 90 minutes from the new HQ and dealers hundreds, if not thousands, are getting their orders more than 2 months in advance?

 

[ApexXTX/Viper]

hundreds if not thousands of miles away

Your right this is bull @#$& ,I tried ordering the blue mountain skis they were promoting at the Toronto show and guess what there back ordered until mid January,these skis come stock on a 2019 sidewinder xtx and they don't have any I want my $500 back and I'm buying a Polaris lol

 

[ApexXTX/Viper]

Was told the same thing about the blue mountain skis. Didn't even bother asking about the white mtn ski loops!

So sorry guys, I was so hoping to read, "She's here and look how pretty she is posts" . Hang in there it will be worth it. When I rode the SW on the Yamaha tour last year I truly thought it was the most refined and powerful sled I could even imagine.
Patience is a virtue......

Remember the Norwegian prayer by Ole, " Dear Lord, Give me patience and give it to me RIGHT NOW!"

 

[Crossfire12]

There coming from Thief River Falls not Toronto, hang in there!
