C'mon >> Yamaha Approved ! just gears ,chain ,bearings.muffler down right next to the chaincase,warmer gear oil.less drag than any apex,nytro,etc rear exit exhaust 
YAMAHA #1 Blows all others away! 
Yamaha probably were riding these sleds couple years ago and we thought they were Artic cats! Testing ?

I can't say much about Yamaha chain cases. Had my bolt back out twice and go through the chain case. First one was on warranty with 800km on it never had it apart. Second one just went on me. Bolt was loctited and torqued second time. Maybe I'm just unlucky. Hope the new one has all the bugs fixed on it that cat had. 2 cats I ride with never had any trouble.

It will be probably be just fine and if you are really worried about a first year product then take out a 3 year YES plan when you purchase.

Yes as to Yamaha specs on anything Cat made. That's what they are telling people at the show.

What about the 180 degrees exhaust, seems very unusual, as long as the exhaust shuold have been without to musch resistance.

One thing I noticed was the small and recessed button for reverse. On one of the youtube videos it looked like the guy was having a hard time getting it pushed with gloves on too.
Sorry the photo is a little blurry from blowing it up.

I asked a rep about the jack shaft last night at the show and he said it was a cat shaft modded for our clutches. On the secondary side the main difference was that it was only splined say about two inches compared to the standard say three to four inches, of couse I'm just estimating those lengths, but the splined length is defiantly shorter.

The recessed reverse button is not an issue with gloves, maybe if you wear mittens but otherwise it's not a big deal. The Doo one, while easy to push, i bumped it probably 4 times, crazy thing is that it actually stopped the engine and went into RER, once while I was crossing a road.
The grip heater controls are far better as well, one down side is that depending on the angle you set them at, you may find yourself bumping them to the center position (off) when standing. There is a gaurd that is an acessory but you have to glue it on. To me much more simple design and a quick feel of the button tells you if they are on high/low or off, no need to look at a gauge while riding down the trail. I actually prefer the simple design of the Cat controls over the complex (much more expensive) of the Yamaha.
