2017 Sidewinder LTX-LE
I just had to post, I had two more buddies switch to the turbo YamaCat in one week! One was a die hard two-stroke forever guy, and another what I'd consider a die hard Doo friend traded in his excellent running 2016 1200 this week for a SideWinder after one ride on my Hurricane 270 HP SideWinder!
The Doo buddy had just raced the 850 we had riding with us and beat him with his 1200! So it's obvious it runs really well, of course it is equipped with a PB80 and revs much higher than stock, but it put the hurt on the poor 850. So after he rode my SideWinder, he swapped sleds onto the 850 for a try on that again. Well he got off stating he did not like it one bit, in fact he hated the way it handled. He has also ridden other 850s and said the exact same thing about them too. He liked my SideWinder so much, he want back to my buddy Kips shop in the UP, Pats Motorsports, and started talking trade in with Kip. A day later we were loading his new 2018 50th LTX-LE in the trailer to go home. I couldn't believe it! Welcome aboard Josh! You sure surprised me with this purchase!
My other friend just brought home a Cat 9000 and I've already ordered him up the full bundle of Hurricane tunes, flasher & muffler.
Three more Hurricane tune bundles going out this week, two of which are replacing another brand of competing tunes!
Will wait for my other bud to tune his, says he's going to run it stock for a while, we'll see how long he can hold out. He just texted me he sold a bunch of Doo stuff today!
The turbo has to be putting the squeeze on the other OEM's, I don't care what anyone says. I know most all my friends have converted to SideWinder or Cat 9000 turbos now but just for a few. They have to be selling a bunch of these turbos! Seems with every test ride someone gets sold, and that included me earlier this last season! One ride is going cost you the bucks to buy one! And one ride on a Hurricane tuned one will cost you some more!
And for whats it's worth, the new 850 rider doesn't seem too thrilled with the new 850, he's missing his better handling and more comfortable 800, his words, not mine. He's already talking about possible trade for a winder. We will see how that pans out. Told him it was a good thing he didn't try mine yet, it would have cost him$$ !
