I agree with SJ,i had the 13 procross lxr with coil overs,but junk shocks,i would get the LE shocks if you want the best.respectfully disagree...had a 12 sno pro..and now the 16 with the qs3's...like a completely different sled...
blue ltx-le for me ...the 137 with qs3's on four corners makes the price for admission okay...its probably not too late to change...do it...you can always change graphics...
and...the 137's always perform better than the shorter skid sleds apples to apples...been there done that...

2017 Sidewinder LTX-LE
Good friend of mine placed his order for a LTX-LE from my other good friend Kip at Pats Motorsports. Will be real fun to compare it to my turbo 1200 next season! These Winders should be way better than the old Suzuki turbo Procross of previous years. If its as good as I think its going to be, I may have to order one up for 2018 if Doo does no one up it. Maybe they will build one in black or black/orange for 18?

Hi Mike I was wondering when we would hear from you brother,i hear ya on the doo handling thing,but maybe these new SW with good shocks will handle all most as good as the 1200 doo,only you will have loads more power, or at least top speed,i think the 41/21 gears with the .91 OD is working good for trails corner to corner,and appears to give plenty of top end speed as well.Good friend of mine placed his order for a LTX-LE from my other good friend Kip at Pats Motorsports.

Just got back from my dealer - ordered a blue LTX-LE. Will be on-line late into the evening trying to find somewhere I can sell a kidney to pay for the thing.

91 Exciter II was red 96 Yamaha VMax 4 was red, 97 Vmax SX 600 and 700 is red, 2002 Viper DLX you could get in Red, The New Corp Logo is Red... just saying its still Yamaha Red but I get your point and back then the Race Yamaha's were Blue.

Blue sleds are always the fastest, and there are no exceptions. Sorry, that's just science.

It's true, I have personal experience ... my 2014 MP(blue) is way faster than my 2011 Bravo(black).
That is conclusive.

Dealer and rep talked me into Ltx Le. Was going to go with Rtx because of tight trails we ride on but both said won't notice difference and claimed 137 would be faster than 129! Also 1st Yamaha since 1993. Blue by the way.It's true, I have personal experience ... my 2014 MP(blue) is way faster than my 2011 Bravo(black).

He is correct,the 137's are faster than the 129's,and not just hook up,top end,all the sleds that posted speeds of 122-124 were 137's there is a vid of cats thundercats new 17 vrs 9000 zr turbo and there is 8-10 sleds between the two,and they stated the old zuk was 115-117 tapped out,the new thundercat 122-124 and will have lots more with gears.Dealer and rep talked me into Ltx Le.

So why would a ltx le 137 sidewinder be faster than a rtx le sidewinder? I was told they both have the same 21/41 gears and the 9 tooth drivers.
