2009 nytro xtx
8055 miles.
In season repairs- sliders, a arm bushings, 2 belts, 2 boogies
Needed repairs- subframe bent, left upper a arm worn bad from spring rubbing against it, upper and lower ball joints, rear center shock, exhaust donuts, seat needs new cover
This is my first yammi and I love the torque and reliability of the motor. But these things are temper mental with there handling

romie said:What's up with all these ball joints and subframes. What exactly is a subframe. I am used to tunnel, bulkhead, etc... Either way, why do they need replacing.
Subframe, red and orange. They bend. Both pictured are new 450$ and have been reinforced. Ball joints wear out quite fast, 95$ each from dealer or there are after market options.

I'm not wanting to hijack this thread but what are you guys doing to bend your subs? I've taken some good air and hit frozen ice fishing holes some frozen (beaver chew) logs while bustin powder on some back ponds. Even yesterday I felt it gettin bad (beaver pond near beaver house) had a couple of big bangs and shutters, went back and looked at two, 4" frozen logs I sheared off and all the mean while I'm going $hit, $hit. I get home and thaw it out and nothing. Don't get me wrong I'm not dissapointed one bit but what are you guys smackin to bend these? Does everyone have skid plates? Is that the differance or what?

Never bent mine like most, I landed on a rock (self inflicted) and it pushed my bumper up and tweaked the subframe, the other Nytro in the pic twisted his from a light side/angle impact.

I've got just over 10,000kms on mine, but the last two winters have been off-trail western nfld riding, and it's hard to put many miles on there when it takes you 4 or 5 hours to put on 100kms.
No real problems yet, other than the sloppy front end, a tweaked a-arma dn front bumper, and my exhaust donuts are shot. The sled takes a pounding with minimal upkeep, I gotta say. And I've never had a sled this long without losing a motor before.
