QUALITY TRUMPS

[yamadoo]

I have been reading through the 08 posts and a theme came to me.

THe yamaha Quality always 'trumps' my (our?) minor complaints. SO I stay on a yamaha 4 stroke.

I mean who else has a proven performance four stroke?

Cat - maybe but I have had cats and quality is not the same, nor is the R&D. Heck the dealer near by sells both and he flatly says if you bleed green and can put up with the repairs and inconsistancy sled to sled the Cats perform and are good but quality and High miles? - chances much better with Yamaha.


Doo -good sled had and liked my Doo's, close but still two smoke and prior great quality of late some real issues.

I think Poo could find themselves and compete in quality IF they wanted to. I really wonder if their heart is in sleds any more. Great sleds in 90's and early 00's but ? commitment to future. I have on 02 XCSP 8 for sale.

Any way I can see every ones logic with their desired combinations of Yamaha chasis, track, and motor BUT they can't give it all to us at once and the QUALITY is the difference.

OH ya, enough already about the wt , THe sleds flat out work, Robbie Molinski Has won several heats and now one final on the "non competitive heavy four stroke" sleds in the TOP sno cross circut pro open

My two cents

I agree. Every week around home (tons of snow for a change) guys go slow, get stuck, change plugs, worry about gas, worry about oil, and this is not only on sleds only a few years old, but new ones. A group of new F cats and a new Machz1000 stopped us and asked where the nearest gas is. They had come about the same distance I had and my Vector gas gauge was down one bar!!! I told them they could just enjoy riding hard and not worrying about gas for at least 120 miles or so. Maybe that's what I like...the runnability of the four strokes is beyond reproach..same day after day, and since a sled is just a chassis with 'stuff' hanging off, which is mostly adjustable, you can ride these heavier sleds just as hard and have as much fun with far fewer core (read, MOTOR) issues than ever before. I do not want my 69 Skiroule S300 back. That was only 270 pounds..lol.

I agree, I ride with two strokes and I know I can go at least 130 no problem, they are worried over a hundred as I was when I rode them
