Truly amazing. When we hit -40 around here, we tend to just hunker down. Going for a ride is not top of the list. Obviously in your region you have to be prepared for it, or you won't have much of a season.

Is it true that the Viper has an AC EFI system? I was under the impression that EFI and mapping was provided by Yamaha. At least on the Yamaha versions anyway.

It will be interested to see what options you have to remedy this.

Thanks again for the great video! Good to see you getting the girls out on a trip as well. Any 2-up seat options offered for the viper other than third party seats? That is one thing nice an easy about the SkiDoo sleds and seat options.

It is my understanding that the physical injectors are Yamaha parts, but the mapping and software is Arctic Cat's. So Yamaha will have to work with AC on this one, at least to begin with.

There is a 2-up seat offered by AC/Yamaha. Doubling on the stock seat is no problem though if your passenger and you are small enough. The 2-up seat offered requires the accessory bumper.

I'll see if Yamaha can chime in on the fuel injection question.

OK Allen, On my 05 vector and my two riding buds 08 vectors when it's below Zero the dash lights and the head lights will not come on.........It takes up to 5 minutes.. It's just the way it is.... As far as the not starting thing that's "GOT" to be cured.. It could be a matter of life and "DEATH" Just how cold is -39c ?? Another great vid.. MM.

Arctic Cat's electronics don't work that way. So the headlights go on no matter what. Tail light as well. But I'm familiar with what you reference on my Nytro's ;-). As far as the dash, its a lower quality screen, so it just takes awhile for the alphanumerics to display. The dash does in fact light up, just can't read or see much on it, only see the backlights. I end up timing that out in a future video.

Stay tuned - there's plenty more to come. Next video will be up by this coming Sunday night.

Cheers!

This is direct from Chris Reid at Yamaha;

"The ECU is AC the EfI system is Yamaha same as Nytro. The magic is in the mapping. Viper ECU System is made by Synerject and mapped by AC engineers with some collaboration. Cheers cr - See more at: http://snowmobiles.yamahablogs.ca/2014/ ... /#comments"
