I have had 6 new yamis and I bought a 08 with a 1000 miles on it and sold it after 2 days of riding. The worst handling sled ever. Read all the post about them and believe it.

thanks, i'll have to have her try one out
nytro doesnt give nearly the tippy feeling that the phazer does.
Trust me, going through it with my girlfriend right now and the 07 Phazer I bought for her.

How much time did you spend on setting it up?

ha!
dont know where your looking, but theres barely any 2010's left in maine!!
let alone 09's or 08's. theres currently 0-09's, 2-08's and like 5 10's left in uncle henrys for sale. most of the 10s are mountains.
they are going FAST!!
def wouldnt put a newby on a nytro. FYI this is one def for the hardcore group. it needs to be rode hard. you cant just sit on the seat and steer it.

nytro addict said:When I bought my first XTX I loved it and still do...Anyways my wife was hearing weird noises with her CAT 570. So we switched sleds so I could check it out. Well the wife would not give me back my XTX. Now heres a guy over 200lbs all dressed in Yamaha clothing stuck riding a Crap 570 Cat. So that next weekened I said screw this and went out and bought a second XTX. So now she had her own sled and loved it.She is only 5'2" and had no probblems with it being to tippy. She actually loved the higher forward position. We had to sell it because she is pregnant and won't be able to ride for awhile. She was so pissed at me for doing that, but I made her a promise that I'd buy her a new once agian. So long story short if you don't like it out of the box start setting it up to fit your/hers riding style needs.
What year was the 570 Cat? My wifes F5 (even set for her weight) has been one of the best trail riding sleds I have ever ridden. I find it funny that when riding it I anticipate the bumps and get ready for them only to find out there was no need for the anticipation. Great skid!! As far as my wife on my XTX......no way! She has probably logged about 100-150 miles on it and hates every minute of it. Most of all the engagement, then the ride, then the steering (and as of lately the sound...Barkers). After I put on about 1800 miles last year I was full on telling her we would get another XTX for her.....and then she rode it. No way, no how, not ever. She did like the Vector LTX GT, but she said seemed to heavy.....and as to paraphrase my last post.....I just want her to want to ride, so she ended up with the Cat (electric start, reverse, infinite rider positioning). Still wish she would have wanted the new Vector, but honestly could care less at this point. And if Cat ever makes a motor (quality) to rival a yami, and keeps that same type of ride my wifes Cat has, I may switch too. I'm not an extremeist brand loyal person, I just want a good reliable sled that fits my tastes, that will last for what I paid for it (accordingly.....cuz they all break or blow up at some point). For now....I'll wear my tuning fork proudly.

wish she could have ridden my xtx or one I setup...I have a feeling she'd feel differently
