Time to shave some weight off that belly of yours!!! Maybe too many beers left in the cargo bag. Cheap 87 octane E10 gas won't win any races against 91 octane straight gas. Barney. Get that clutching right then come see me on the lake LOL! 156km/hr on a snowy lake Real GPS speed. 159 on...

I feel for ya Man. Brand new $16,000.00+ machine and a ruined trip. Bummer. Certainly not what you expected. The somewhat concerning part about the whole thing is nobody seems to really know what the issue is. My dealer really didn't find anything on the handful of machines that he's...

I've been in discussion with my dealer regarding this issue and Yamaha Canada has approved reseating the chaincase cover to correct this issue. Not sure if a new gasket is going to get installed or not. My sled is going in tomorrow. Krustymack and Barny McLean have just had their's fixed...

Mount a jug of Newfie Screech on that buggy and you're ready to go!! Got enough gas cans? Looks like you're driving to the edge of the earth. With all the work to mount that gear, maybe you should have considered a Hummer.

Got mine last month. Had 5,200km on my nytro XTX. RH side donut was in the worst shape. The clamp had spun with the bolt side resting on the lower part of the heat shield which was probably what was giving me that occasional rattle. The donuts weren't as bad as I thought they'd be but they...

Amsoil Signature Series 0W-30 I ran Amsoil Signature Series 0W-30 in my 2010 Nytro XTX all last winter (approx. 2,500km). I never had to add any oil during the season and the level was still at the full line at the end of the season. Not sure if the oil had anything to do with it but I saw my...

I ran Amsoil Signature Series 0W-30 for 2,500km this winter. Didn't burn a drop. Started well in the cold. Previous to that I ran the Yamalube 0W-30 Semi-syn but I get the Amsoil from a buddy for 10 bucks a quart and feel that it is far superior to the less than 30% synthetic content of the...

Limiter strap countermeasure Like others have stated the problem is this: When your rear suspension compresses the limiter straps go slack. Due to the fact that they are not very tight around the lower shaft they have the tendency to rotate on the shaft. If they rotate forward they may get...

Last winter I saw 104MPH on the speedo. Held that speed for about a mile so she was topped out. My garmin GPS had its top speed registerd at 99MPH. 2010 XTX completely stock with no studs going down hill with a tail wind on a lightly snow covered frozen lake. 180 LBS with gear plus a 10 pack...

Port Yamaha ( http://www.portyamaha.com ) in Port Washington Wisconsin sells the dupont sliders for $108 a pair. They fit the short track sleds and the XTX's. I just got a set shipped to me in Ontario Canada along with their extra inner wheel kit for my XTX. Even with shipping these sliders...

Same story with my 2010 XTX. Changed the original sliders out at 1200km as they were 1/16" from the wear line and had a big trip coming up. The new slides wore down to the same point in 200-250km of decent condition trail riding. Next trip I put on over 1200km in four days and I don't think...

102 MPH according to my speedometer. 2010 Nytro XTX completely stock running original belt. 98.3 MPH confirmed by my handlebar mounted Garmin GPS. My sled pretty much hangs side-by-side with the new Ski-doo 800's and Polaris switchback 800's so I have nothing to complain about. Plus, they...

Ran my 2010 Nytro XTX out of gas right at 124 miles on the trip odometer. That was smooth fast groomed trails south of Timmins. That was also using the gas tank sleeve trick. I only use the "trick" if I am going to be riding immediately after filling up. Otherwise gas will usually expand and...

Just got back from doing a 4 day loop from North Bay - New Liskeard - Timmins - Sudbury - North Bay. Trails were groomed and fast. Lots of 50 - 80 miles per hour running. Had our distances messed up and ran my 2010 nytro XTX out of gas 6 miles from shining tree. 124 miles and it was empty...

Small gas tank Before you start filling up with gas, remove the white plastic insert in the filler neck. You can pull it out with your finger. You can get somewhere around 2 extra litres (half a gallon) in the tank. Then when the tank is full, just drop it back in and put the cap on. This...
