Well I updated those who read, that I ended up buying a 2014 FX. Pretty excited to have her back in the stable after a year with an '13 ETEC 800. I think I found the only 2014 left-anywhere! HA. Last year of the model has me a little nervous, but I know they are tried and true and compared to my 2010 FX I had two years ago, I hope she handles a little better in the front end. All black so I guess I'll be adding stickers since the only stickers on it are two Yamaha stickers...Of course black with two stickers looks pretty stealthy. I will post pics when I get her home, but you all know what they look like! Thanks everyone and i look forward to more posts!

Congrats! Not much has changed since the 2010 model though
What didn't you like about the 800 etec? My buddy is a doo guy and has a hardon for them

I didn't like the 2 stroke-period! I have buddies who love theirs and after riding theirs while I had my Nytro-I thought I would love one too. So I bought one and rode it last year. Didn't like the VIBRATION. It was terrible. I also had an exhaust sensor go out, and a recall. Also battery cables that came loose twice. Probably from the vibration! Along with belt slippage one weekend, I had enough. Sold it and went back to Yammi. Not buying again for a while. They sure didn't skimp on the stickers for this thing! LOL.Congrats!

I think leave it. It looks nice and clean. I was thinking of spicing up my sled with some colors etc. I went the other way and made it even more black.

Yeah-I was thinking tunnel wrap black with white Yamaha lettering. Would like to find a couple more YAMAHA white stickers though. No luck as of yet. Thanks for the advice

Go on eBay and look up 'Yamaha tunnel decal' few options there. Not sure on the quality.

I would paint the backside of the windshield black. I have done this in the past and it held up perfect. Looks a lot better IMO too.
The 2013 nytro xtx in black has nice subtle decals, just google it and order from Yamaha.

X2 on this idea, those tunnel stickers for $65 on ebay would look great on that sled! I love my polished tunnel, but am thinking hard about tunnel stickers/wraps

The ones on ebay are gloss black though and the sled is a matt finish so I think it wouldn't look good. I put a flat matt black tunnel wrap on from fxgraphics and plisti dipped the top turned out great.X2 on this idea, those tunnel stickers for $65 on ebay would look great on that sled!

The hood is shinny black. Either way would look nice.
