where is the info on the new Yamaha race sleds?

Way to go Ross!!! Hope they do well in 600. maybe they have that damn thing figured out finally!

Surprised no one noticed the different subframe. If Allen took the picture it was a very strategic one because he's hiding a lot

You can tell that the subframe is different from that pic? Just looks like the steering is in the same place and it is still black. That is all I can tell.

Yes it is different. Look at the two things I circled. the left circle is a 1/2" tube brace, which oem subframes do not have, and the circle on the right is square tubing, not round like oem. I'm not saying anything else aside from 6 lbs lighter and I hope it's on the 2013's.

Great first weekend back USCC racing for the Factory Yamaha Cross Country snowmobile race team! Rookie Sensation, Ben Lindbom grabbed second place in the Semi-Pro stock 600 race and Ross "The Boss" Erdman walked away with First Place in the Pro Open Race! Great Job, Team!

Great job. Facebook page seems to say Ross DNF??

That was in the Pro Stock 600 class, note that his win was in the Pro Open class.

Sounds like you know something else....

Why doesn't the little birdie ever tweet in my direction... lol

I hope the front end is on my sled for the 2013's... so I can put one on my 08!

edit, I wonder if they will have bushing and ball joint problems?

 

[Nikolai]

I'm afraid if I tweet too much my birdie will stop tweeting to me, lol. Pretty sick to say the least, so there's a good bet it won't ever make production models.

Why am I not surprised.

Unofficial results of the Pro Open class is Ross Erdman on his FX Nytro takes the win!

Was Pine Lake mostly an ice race?

Here it is!

yes 100% ice racing. I just got home the scoring waa screwed up so most classes dont have results yet. Team Yamaha did really well though

That would be a shame. Lessons learned in racing should be translated in improved evolution of product.

Racing improves the breed - at least it should.

Congrats to Ross and Yamaha on the win .Can,t see them releasing this lighter front end on a 2013.New chassis is what the i figure(but this revised nytro would be a great idea for 2013,love the 128inch skid ).Keep the wins coming.

 

[ruffryder]

Is it just me, or does the bottom plastic piece look pretty finished? I like the ability for the snow to not get into the sub frame and sit there and melt. should stop a lot of the ice problems too.

Man, and they are running titanium springs and fox zero shocks too.

They better make this available next year. Wait, if they do, it will be 4 thousand dollars or something, won't it?

 

[HartleRacing]

the pictures they put on facebook have an all new front end on the sled. and apparently it works pretty well for the race team!
