2008 Yamaha Nytro, 03 MXZ 600, 02 MXZ 500F, 05 600SDI
Hoping someone can help me out here, I bought this 2008 Nytro in 2021. I didn’t know anything about the Nytro at the time and still know very little. A lot of this information is hindsight now but he put FX10 MTX I believe on the bill of the sale and he made a point of saying it was a FX10 MTX, but it has XTX on the plastic side panels. I’ve searched the VIN number and it comes up as a few options but always MTX, never XTX. From doing some searching it appears to me that the XTX wasn’t produced in 2008? And looking at track size charts it lists 153” track for 2008 to 2010 MTX. Can anyone clear this up for me? What model do I have and what track length? I believe someone has fixed this up, probably from an accident and used the XTX side panels and that, my sled is an 08 MTX with 153” track

looking like a mtx to me but cannot zoom pic for better look. the body plastics are usually interchangeable between the mountain and trail sleds.
 
Track has part number molded into track. Rotate track around and look for part number then check track part number online and it will tell you size of track.
 
Ok, Thank you both , I will have a look for the part number in the track. I’ve also since posting found a video how to measure the track, so if I have trouble finding the part number I can try measuring it as well.

The track is a Camoplast Hi Performance trail part number 8ET-47110-30 which is a 144” track. Vindecoder2.com says my machine is a 2008 FX Nytro Mountain. Faxvin.com says my machine is a 2008 FX Nytro with trim and then it gives 3 options FX10MTRXL, FX10MTXL, FX10MTRAXW (40th anniversary) , my bill of sale says 2008fx10M, Snowmobile.com says that the 2008 MTX comes with a 153” track, and by the looks of it I have the anniversary edition, red, white and black. There doesn’t seem to be a 2008 with a 144” track, and when I put a 2008 Nytro MTX into the ride on partzilla it says it does not fit my machine. So I don’t know what I have, every vin decoder says I have a 2008 MTX but they come with a 153” track and I have a 144” track. Trying to find the engine serial number, I think it’s down around the oil filter, but haven’t found it yet.
 
an 09 model year will have an 08 production date and in 09 they did make the xtx and mtx but someone could have made an mtx into an xtx with driver/suspension and track swap.
 
For reference, this is what an '08 40th Anniversay Nytro looks like; they weren't just any red/white/black combo:
