Does anyone know if the phazers are the same?

Yes but only if you run into a tree.

My oil filter was dented pretty bad, glad I checked. Installed Yamaha oil filter 5DM-13440-00. Its shorter and provides lots of clearance.

The Roest skid plate allows you to run the longer 2 3/4" oil filter and still have adequate clearance. More oil and more filtration.

Thanks for the tip. I will check mine out.

Reviving this thread to let you know I checked mine today. The oil filter had no marks on it, but the oil pan had some deep gouges in it from the metal braces. I will be removing the braces and writing a stern letter of disapproval to Mr. Yamaha himself. Does anyone know how to write "Dumb #*$&@" in Japanese?

Are you running an accessory skid plate?

Yeah I have the Yamaha plate. I don't do any off trail riding so it works fine for me. That one you are selling looks great, and if I did any off trail it would be on my sled.

Thanks. Most of the skidplates I sell are being purchased by trail riders. Here's why they like them.

Did Yamaha address this issue on the 2010 and 2011's?

 

[Mountaintech]

Not for 2010, not sure about 2011. What issue do you mean specifically, the aluminum ribs rubbing, or the total lack of adequate subframe, engine, and front heat exchanger protection?

Any of those......

Pretty sure nothing has changed. Even if the ribbing has been modified to alleviate the rubbing issue, you still have the same inadequate plastic panels that do little to protect the sled. Best to invest in a Roest skid plate and be done with it. I may be biased, but it's the truth.

Its an awesome product I pu one on my nytro this summer and know if I need to jack up the front end I can just put a floor jack under the sled and just up the front end without any issues. Works great for changing skis or adjusting front shock springs. Its a must for any Nytro.
