YAMAHA - the BEST IN THE BUSINESS....PERIOD

Mr Sled,

I am also in the TY Mileage Fun Contest, in the TY Rides Section, and have a 20,000 mile report in the RS Section.


Other than a TORS issue, which was an update, a CDI box connector wire, which I consider electrically related to the motor, and a summer storage pilot jet problem, this 120 motor has been through 11 oil changes, plug changes at the beginning of each season, and not one actual motor problem on the trails.

Needless to say; I am very pleased.

AMAZING!!! MILES!! I get a kick out of reading the newbies complaining about their paint rubbing off the running boards! Its called friction! Now go put some miles on and don't sweat the small stuff!!Love that Engine!! Honk

I'm thinking I agree with you. I'm going to wait and see how the chassis on the FX Nytro holds up to jumping and roll overs (HA HA).

You gonna make the switch this year? That model has your name on it.

Well said ccrider!

Maybe a 2009 or 2010. But a Yamaha next time for sure, now that they make a sled for me.

That's Amazing, 20 Thousand. Yamaha must just love this PR.

I'm just a bit curious as to the normal wear items like the track.
How many miles are possible before replacement, if it's not tortured.

Philscbx,

If you go to the RS Section, in the sticky section, is my 05 RS Venture 20,000 mile report which initially started at 12,000 miles.

You can read about my three seasons with RS Venture.

This should answer many questions.

In response to your track question, I replaced the original track this year just shy of 16,000 miles. It was time to change it. The track was not studded.

By other reports, and based on conditions, and riding style, here in Northern Maine, studded tracks are lasting around 8,000 miles (plus or minus).

Also, go to the TY Rides Section, (two below the "Lounge Section") TY Mileage-Hondo, you can see photos, and read about this year's rides.

Hope this helps!

Great! Thanks'
I think it's an outstanding accomplishment you did.
Some people have a hard time doing this with their car.

I'll be taking notes on those posts.
