Nikolai,
I don't whether to thank you or hate you...Looks like the sled is gonna be fun. You were throwing that around like it was nothing. Not bad for a guy who's out of shape. Sled sounded cool in the clip too.
I'm even more stoked to try out my sled now...I'm starting to worry about fuel mileage though. 7 MPG is terrible. Hopefully it's because she isn't broken in yet.
Thanks for posting.

If the 800R took between 8 and 9 gallons and your Nytro took between 6 and 7 gallons yet you went further I wouldn't be too worried about the fuel consumption.
You would both be out of gas at the same time at that rate and that's the main factor.
Also that's some fresh powder your busting so it is reasonable to expect it's going to take alot more fuel to get through there.
Was there any groomed / packed trail access in and out of the riding area or was it fresh the whole way?
Again remember if you're getting as far or further than your riding buddies on your tank of fuel then it's not a hindrance to the day.
I also believe at part throttle applications is where the 4-stroke is going to use considerably less fuel than it's 2-stroke counterpart. Once your access route is pounded in from other riders and you have to use some trail to get into and out of the fresh areas the comparitive range should improve even further.

Thanks for putting up the video link; nice to see what the conditions were like for the MPG's you were getting.
I hope the gas milage improves as the motor breaks in. The worst I ever saw with my Vector was 13 mpg at WFO while racing. Maybe the Nytros have a rich setting during the break in period and then change settings after a certian amount of time has passed? I recall some of my older Ski-doo's being like that.
We are finally getting some snow at sea-level today so hopefully it doesn't start raining again and I'll be able to get some riding in.

Ride Report #3. I put on 53.6 more miles in even deeper snow (waist deep fresh). A total of 132 miles on it now.
The gas mileage is deffinitely improving. I went back to the same area and rode even harder in even deeper snow and did 53.6 miles. I put 6.567 gallons in so I got 8.16 mpg. That's nearly 1 mpg better than just my last ride and I rode harder this time. Very happy with that. When I got back to truck I had been on the last bar for about 10 miles.
I kept a close eye on the openings by the headlight and snow does get in there, it seems to melt quick though.
I could also only pull about 7,700 rpms on the hill, not sure what that's all about.
Very happy with the sled though, I let a few more people ride and they all loved it.

Nikolai,
how were the running boards for snow? Looked like there waslots sitting on them. Does the snowpack in there pretty good?

Tim, I think were hitting talkeetna next.
I inspected my clutches tonight and found that the dealer did the 2000-4500 setup except he put the yellow/silver flatlander spring in. Bunch of goons. I'm getting the correct blue/brown spring tomorrow which should cure the RPM woes.
I also got my Powermadd riser & block which I'll get to try out this weekend.
About the video, there isn't one climbing against the rev but I'll get one. With my motor spinning 8,600 instead of 7,700 it's going to be really close.

Hi Nikolai,
First, thanks for sharing your experience with your Nytro MTX.
Can't wait to ride mine!
I'm no expert in clutching but if you had the Yellow-Silver-Yellow
(Preload of 35kg, Spring rate of 2.5 kg/mm, Total force 118 kg @ 33mm)
in the primary and that you where under target for RPM,
I do not think that putting a Blue-Brown-Blue
(Preload of 50kg, Spring rate of 2.0 kg/mm, Total force 116 kg @ 33mm)
will solve your problem!
It should load your engine even more therefore driving your RPM down!
What I suggest is to put more miles on the sled (300-500 miles) to make sure
that the break in is done and then work from there!
Don't forget it's a 4stroke with a new engine
and I think you have to let the engine come loose
before playing with the clutch!
As for myself, I left the gearing and the primary spring stock but the work on the ramps is done
but with three 17.2 steel rivets for a total of 79 g per ramp! Primary springs are cheap and even
easy to change on the trail when tuning will come!
Just my 2 cents!
