Reverse gone

[yukon yamaha]

In an effort To cut out some rotating mass I pulled out reverse. I was surprised to see how much weight came out of that little chaincase....just under nine Pounds in gears alone.... Not A major project but I hope that it will get me some more top end and for one hour of tinkering it was worth it now I just need to get back to Finding the 1000 rmp I am missing With the rat weights

removing reverse isnt going to gain you 1000 rpm, but im sure you know this

removing some weight from those primary weights will.

anyway , let us know what removing reverse does for you...

How did we all survive pre reverse?

I eliminated my Reverse a couple weeks ago as well. Just ride like you did before you had reverse.

kinda weird to think that you cant get a new yamaha sled without reverse... times have changed!

Reverse was deleted in my 700, so with my new nytro reverse is a new feature. Well, when I went to use it last week in some off-trail area, all the track did was dig a hole and rocking the sled didn't help much. I ended up getting off the sled, and just manhandling it around! Im sure on groomed trails it will be nice (i hope!), or maybe I need studs.

I have a sled deck So getting it off without reverse is no big deal and the trAiler is enclosed so I can just drive in one end and out tHe other, I don't think I am goin to miss it. I don't expect it to get me 1000 rpm but Any rotating mass that can be shed of this machine Is welcome.

First thing I took off my Nytro was reverse.

Do you just remove the gears to remove reverse or do you have to buy non-reverse parts?

yukon yamaha, what primary spring are you running with the Rat weights?

 

[yukon yamaha]

Not sure yet i need to keep testing, i have a skidoo 130-350 in now but i have not had time to run it, however it does engauge at 4300-4400 rpm and that is right were i want it to be.....I will be testing all sat evening and sunday

A Skidoo primary spring fits in a Yammy clutch?

 

[yukon yamaha]

hmmmm no , i had the clutch machined so that the spring would fit....

 

[yukon yamaha]

Good news!, I used a 130-350 sPring and I was pUlling just over 9370 rpm

I can't imagine removing my reverse.
