I am in the middle of adding the stage 2 MPI, and will have it at around 12lbs of boost on my Nytro. People that I ride with are telling me to get a normal trail sled for everyday use. They seem to think this is to much for the trails. From what I can see on from this section, a lot of guys are doing trail riding with boost. Are they wrong, and just to new to Boost to understand what will work? I am looking to purchase my Dads extra Apex, and through some of my extra goodies on it (programmer, K&N filters ETC), with a clutch kit, and pipes for a back up for possible breakdowns, or real long trips. It wasn't planned as being the everyday sled though. I was hoping to ride the Nytro. Love the ergo's in the corners, and over the bumps. Some of these guys have built faster sleds in the past (like the srx's), but are trying to compare built horsepower to boosted horsepower. They guys with the slightly buit doo's, besides engine problems liked theirs, but the guy with the 240HP SRX went a bit overboard for his style, and felt uncomfortable anywhere but the track. What is your opinion on this? Possible to use the Nytro as a daily driver, and keep the Apex as an backup? The Nytro will have a 136" track with extra studs, and a set of simmons gen2. To help absorb some of the extra horsepower, and keep controllable. Thanks again guys

I run my Nytro with MCX turbo trail riding as well as mountains with no problems. You may need to carry extra fuel but other than that you are good to go. This year probably 1000 trail, 2000 mountains.
I'm running my nytro at 16-17psi on pump fuel and water methanol up here in Ontario and it hasnt skipped a beat. It is my daily rider and so far it has been completely turn key. I've ran my last few big boost sleds on race fuel and that got to be a pain in the #*$&@ and would sometimes inconvenience my riding buddies with having to carry jerry cans etc. Needless to say my new setup with water meth has made both them and myself very happy. I really have no hesitation in going out for an all day tour on this sled.
I picked up the Yamaha fuel caddies to be on the safe side. Thinking one fuel of meth, and one full of fuel. And problems in the twist and turns with the extra/instant power?

Once your sled is boosted you will learn right away what you can and can't do really fast, and you will learn to respect it,

How True. To many people assume you will ride power like this like you stole it, off the bat. That is not true, experienced or not. They are more worried in the twist and turns, with how instant the charger setup is.

I didn't get any seat time on my apex this year after I bought but I am worried about the same thing. I'm going for 10 psi on pump gas head shim, hopefully it will be controllable in the tight turns of NW wisconsin where I like to ride and any sled i ave been on if you floor it from turn to turn you can only hit 50 mph before you need to brake and make a 180, hoping the apex isn't instant 80mph and I go into a tree on the first run, you can bet I will be fethering that thing so slightly but there are times when I come off a knoll and land funny and stab the gas by accident. In the past it was no big deal but now with fuel injected SC animal it might throw me into the next county!
Ulmer as stated that they are very controllable, I'm all for swapping sleds with guys and i know I will have a lot of guys wanting to ride mine but they will have to pass my little instruction course on "respect the damn throttle" before i let them go.

Thanks for the help guys. Respect, and riding time should help. Will have to go out a few times without the normal crew. That way I can get used to it, and the new riding style. Should help limit the possibility of something bad when going crazy with the guys, on a normal trip.
