Winder for wife?

[DIwarrior]

My Brides got well over 4K miles on her 20 Sidewinder LTX-GT. She came off an Apex XTX with power steering. No complaints driving the Sidewinder at all, loves it. She is 4’11” and 160# and has had no issues with the power, the fastest she’s had it tho was only 109 on Lake Gogebic this year.

I was in the exact same dilemma this year. Apex/Vector both due for a change. Mind you it wasn't the sleds that needing changing as they're bullet proof. It was our bodies that are getting older and more difficult after a long days fast ride on the bumpy ride back late Sundays. Considered hard on the EPS for the wife. I agree with what everyone said here. I see lots of his and hers matching Sidewinders on the trail in our neck of the woods. But I went another way.

I read way to much here about all the upgrades the Sidewinder can get to possibly make it better. Which of course, for right or wrong, I have to do the second I get it. So I snowcheck one for myself so more time wrenching.

I didn't want two sleds to wrench on, again for right or wrong, so I snowcheck my wife a Doo 900T 130hp. Since I can't bother reading on the doo forum in my mind this one will be gas and go. Ignorance is bliss. lol

Considered the Doo 900T only because the dealer is close but just can't bring myself to buy anything other than Yamaha, plus get 5 years of warranty with Yamaha.

I sold my 2017 LTX SE Sidewinder to a guy that has another Sidewinder. His sled was tuned and the sled he bought from me was tuned also. He bought it FOR HIS WIFE!!

My 2018 has Max Spool 16 loaded up. My wife drives it just fine. It's just so smooth and linear. It only gets religious after 6,500 RPM. It's also easy to turn.
