Sharp looking sled

Can you find a part number for that tunnel bag? Or, more correctly, would you?

 

[boatload]

The bag is the Yamaha Deluxe Tunnel Pack. Part # SMA-8JX63-00-00. Not big enough for an overnight trip but big enough for a belt, tool kit, rope (for your buddies), hat, gloves, maps, water bottle.

Nice! You have a Dipstick because for 15.5 sleds they changed oil tank for more capacity changed baffle inside it and I believe either added a gasket or changed existing one on chaincase side. They also changed the rails and wheel mounts. Looks like they gave you the bags too. You scored!

Has anything else changed?
Has the oil separator moved to inside the tank (Yamaha design) or is it still external? (Cat design that has frozen or stuck and pumped the oil out).

Looks great, I ordered the same sled , pick it up Tues,, Hello to everyone on the site, I am obviously new to it.. I've read a lot about the oil separator and also would like to know if it has been updated/changed, the dealer tells me my sled was produced in Oct... I'm also new to this chassis, I come from an '11 Rush Pro-r 800, Any tips on suspension set-up( I'm 6-1 and 235lbs) and stud quantity length etc.. I ride, what I would call fairly aggressive... Thanks in advance,, Love the site so far.

Welcome! Dipstick was the only change I noticed with the DX and LE, panels off, sitting side by side. Have'nt heard of any changes to the oil separator. Oh, my wife noticed that the seat foam is different betwen the two. The LE's is softer so I'll probably be swapping seat covers in the near future. I'm new to this chassis too but i'm coming off a '08 Nytro and I know you will love this 4-stroke engine! The U.S. delivered LTX LE's have the 1.75" Back Country track so no studding going on here. The rear springs are set on the softest setting ( I weigh 230lbs) and I'm getting 2" of sag when I sit on the sled. Gonna be a lot of adjusting going on this year! We are expecting about 2" of snow tonight in S. Wisconsin so hoping to take both of the new sleds for a rip in the field tomorrow morning!

Thanks boatload . I guess I should have mentioned I opt'd for 1.25 track, normally 1.325 stud would be the standard my dealer said if I want to hook I should run 1.450's It is a 2 ply track . I want to hook but not at the expense of pulled studs... coming from a rush I'm use to playing with suspensions Also I live about 25mins away from Hurricane so in the future, a turbo may NOT be out of the question... I'm in Eastern Ontario, and run Tug Hill NY region a lot too both have some road running.....( The lad at the dealer also said it came with the goggle bag, larger bag on the tunnel and heated seat!!! TRUE???? if so , awesome do they come with that hooked brake lever? I love that thing !!! )

 

[boatload]

Yes - bags and heated seat! No - hooked brake lever.

If you got the new dipstick then you get the new oil tank baffle, the oil new pickup tube inside the tank and also extra oil capacity also so keep that in mind when you do a oil change because you need a bit more oil on the dipstick models.
