Who loves their LTX GT? Just picked one up! PICS ADDED

[Cobalt]

I just purchased a new left over 09 LTX GT from the dealer for what I thought was a GREAT deal! I had signed up for the spring order so I received the 4yr warranty and I purchased another year for $100.00.

I sold my 07 RTX with 8,350 miles to a very good friend, it still has warranty so he should be all set.

Please tell me what you love about this sled, I assume it will be a very different ride compared to my RTX?

So far I have put a Camoplast Ice ripper XT track on it, low snow kit, all new larger and replaceable bearing boogie wheels and one Woody's Slim Jim dually on the right ski with a Woody's 8" single on the left ski.

How is the adjustable rear suspension?

Thanks,

Cobalt

Im in the same situation as you. I just picked mine up 8-1-09, brand new 09 with 13miles on it. I wasnt going to buy a new sled this year, but the deal was too good to pass up; even with the lame incentive program out last month (compared to last spring, $ 1,500 off?).

Im coming from a 93 TCat 900 triple. This new LTX GT will be like a caddy compared to that old sled.

First Yamaha, First 4 stroke, first electric start and reverse, and my very first brand new sled.


I cant wait till snow hits either. only thing left for my short list is a new helmet, the green has got to go, lol.

you will love it... Best sled I have ever been on, very smooth ! What price you guys end up paying there?

I have an '07 Attak GT (Same sled) and I love it for long distance cruising. It is sooooooo smooth and very, very fast. The wide powerband is encredibly addicting. I never stop smiling when I ride the sled.

I am in the midst of stretching it out to 151 and installing a 2" paddle track, because I ride off trail a lot. The Attak/LTX is designed to be a on trail cruizer, and it excels in its role.

Thank's Guys! I would rather not post the price but I will say the dealer I purchased from has a 08 40th LTX GT brand new for $8,999.00, mine was a little more than that.

Just picked up my LTX GT last Friday. I've been working on studding it with 162 up the middle. Set all my clickers where I want them, and now I'm playing with the "sag in". I adjusted the rear shock 3 full turns to the stiff side, but I have to check sag before I settle on that adjustment. I may end up putting it back. I'm very concerned about bottoming with the studs I have, so I want to get the rear end setup perfectly. Can't wait to ride it, but it sure sounds awesome.

Just picked up my 08 40th this summer. I think I got a good deal on it. Bought it with a 1,086 miles on it from an dealer in Findlay, OH for 8,300 out the door with three winters left on the YES warranty.

I has the extra boggie wheel kit, and Dooly carbites. Two rows of picks down the center.

Must be a connection around here I'm tring to sell my old sleds, 93 & 94 Thundercats!

I'm hoping that the 4-stroke pulls like the old school 165 HP 2 stroke triples did, with out all the headaches and mess.

TWOXQIK - I had a Thundercat once, and if you're wondering if you will like the APEX vs. T-Cat, you are talking ancient tech vs. what you have now. I guarantee you will like the motor, and the ride, fagetabatit! Those T-Cats were pigs in the handling dept. Fine if you were going in a straight line, (when they ran) but trail riding, no contest between an '08 APEX and a 94 T-Cat. I think just about every sled I've had since the 93 T-Cat handled better, and a few of them ran just as quick, 0 to 100.

Try JohnDee.com, post in the classifieds with pictures, and you will sell them. I've sold my last five or so sleds out there.

Cobalt - Congrats on the new sled I take it you didn't get it from Rod. I was in there Tuesday and didn't see (or remember) a 08 40th. But maybe that's because looking too closely at left over Venture GT, but I think I need and enclosed trailer first.
so how about some pictures!

 

[Cobalt]

Actually Eagle One I did buy from Rod! I picked up a 2009, the 2008 was next to the Venture you looked at? LOL

Eagle1 the Venture sure does look comfy doesn't it!

When did you get the XTX? Did you ride it last year or is it new?

Hey Cobalt, nice choice of sled man! My attak went to a guy in Oshkosh. Sad to see it go but you know.....

 

[Cobalt]

Thanks Terry! I look forward to riding it, it should be a little smoother than the RTX!!!
