This will be a work in progress over the summer and into the fall. When the time is right perhaps MrSled can present it to Yamaha.

* Water temp and ambient temp readout on the multi function display (MrSled)

* Electronic Compass, Even as an additional cost accessory item

* Flash chrome of the plastic exhaust covers rather than painted

* Wider choice of colors, since the hood is so small, how about a wider choice of colors? Dealer installed hoods may help the color choice process

* More HP (jtssrx)

* 07 Prototype TY demo rides in the Manitoba/ Alberta area (Sled Dog/Bounty)

* choice of shocks, dealer installed (jtssrx)
* pricing for Canadian sleds that is more inline with the exchange rates.(grader)
* Quieter track, less howling



Post up, I can add to this original post and keep it neat.
 

Reserved for addional space, pictures etc

If you see something on the list that you dont want, post up on that too.

Pending items
*Turbo or supercharger, dealer installed
*Further weight reduction
*GPS
*Loud horn
*160 HP watercraft motor
*No increase in MSRP
*pricing for Canadian sleds that is more inline with the exchange rates.(grader)
 
My only wish list is the 180 hp bike motor specs!!!!!!!!


Well let me change that

I would also like the ability to pick and choose colors and shock options for either the 121 or 136 versions of the Apex. Ie if i want a Blue Attack with a, Chrome blue windshield, Ohlins Mono and Fox floats I should be able to order it like that!!!!
 
Still throwing the thread together. I was going to add that I'd like to keep it as a list of things we actually have a chance of getting.
I'd love 180HP too.
But the reason the bike motor is 180HP is because it revs 2000 RPM higher. SnoMo clutches cant stand much more than 9000 RPM so the bike motor would require a hell of a gear reduction unit. The bike parts would likely be more $$ as they are made to withstand the higher revs. Would you pay $1000 more for the sled? That could be what all those changes would cost.
Lets get some more opinions on this one.
We have plenty of time LOL
Yamaha is going to pick apart our list anyway, maybe Allen Ulmer has some ideas on how to use the bike motor.
I'll put it down as a request for more HP for now until we can figure out how they can give us the bike motor.
 
Ultimate durability!!

Make the suspension strong enough that we don't see any fatigue failures through the life of the snowmobile (I'd like to put 50,000+ kms on my 07).
 
As long as we're dreamin'.. Built in GPS.. A loud horn..Shut off valves..quieter track.. Like cats...............Yuk!!! I said cat on a yammie site.. "SORRY" guys. :( MM.
 
20-25 lb weight reduction on the mtn sleds

No increase in MSRP

GYT supercharger or turbocharger as a dealer installed option
 
how about fair prices for canuks?. eg. us price plus current exchange equals cdn. price. ya i know, i can still dream right?
 
How about Simmons Flexi Skis or C&A's ........Possibly a Snow Check Feature.

Better choice of COLOURED SEATS..........Black & Silver sucks on a Red sled, Black & Red or all RED.

Windsheilds.............More CHROMED COLOURS

More COLOURED Plastic Covers or Grills or Guards 4 the Front End & Accent Side Covers.

No KEY Start.............Possibly a Security System Too

See these Blue Grds............Way cool in Mulitable Colours.

how bout colored side panels??? my 2000 sxr had blue side panels...only two reasons that i can think of that they changed was because of cost...and a 2-stroke exhaust made it black. well i think there should be an "option" for colored side panels and we dont have that 2-stroke exhaust anymore. HIGHER HANDLEBARS
 
Oh boy, I get to dream and feel like I am contributing to a useful piece of work.
:rocks:

Wow, I want the GPS, TEMP gauges, Compass, ONSTAR,_ all this in a top notch electronics pakage would not be that $ if they make it we would buy it. QUiet ripsaw, Hp I like it all :D

I think an adjustable steering column and bars would be nice.

I sure HOPE to be confused next spring as to wether to buy a new 07 or a low mile 06 attack.

Yamadoo
