Check out Troy City Garage website in Troy NY.They seem to be offering the best rates so far on my search,also have decent prices on there leftover models,give it a shot,let us know what you think.

I I totally agree ,Like all the other manufactures they can't keep up with everyone's demands of wanting something new and extragant to come out every year,its difficult and costly for them as well,let's be realistic here,winters here in the northeast have not been so great the past few which...

Also keep in mind there must be some room left for expansion as the AF gets hot,if there is none that can pose a problem for circulation as well,I seen this happen many times and have seen booties burst also sometimes leakage out the vent hose is common.

It also maybe be possible that you may have a kinked hose restricting flow,or possibly a thermostat not opening properly,but like I mentioned on oabout the antifreeze ,straight AF will retain more heat and take longer to displace,the water will help elevate that heat sponge effect when properly...

Did you follow the procedire I sent tabout the antifreeze mixture a few columns back on this issue,due not run with straight antifreeze,drain some and add water to 75/25 % mixture,if problem still persists there is a further issue,possible air lock or mechanical,follow this procedure,I have...

Your ov reheating issue maybe caused from the antifreeze itself.It maybe to concentrated(not enough water mix to thin out to displace the heat).100% straight will retain heat longer than mixed with water.Had same issue with a few new Yamaha sleds I ownedso I drained some antifreeze and added...

In my own opinion Yamaha is only riding the wave with Cat as long as their agreement allows,who knows what the future holds,keep in mind the snowmobile industry can't rely on the weather to survive spending absorbant amounts of money to accommodate the small number of people buying new machines...

Recently I decided to sell my 2012 Apex xtx and possibly considering a Sidewinder as my next sled.I have been hit with offers from others asking to trade my Apex xtx for a Viper,I am very skeptical about that.My thoughts are I am sacrificing a lot in exchange for a lesser machine as I believe.My...

SLP skis,Shaper bar carbides for handling,rear wheel kit to save slides,a little suspension adjustment,normal maintenance, and run it till the the dust settles.

With the lack of snowfall here in the northeast lately I may have to turn my attention to buying a wave runner instead of any upgrades on my sled,our winter started out good but just recently our weather has taken a turn for the worst and does not look any better within the next week.Conditions...

Tak Take a ride in a F 22 Raptor,your eyes will pop

I have taken notice on many of the Sidewinder forums of riders spending a fortune on a sled and then adding a boatload of power upgrades. Why ? Is it a ego trip for those to attain bragging rights during their 5 minutes of fame during their show and tell session ?.I do not understand the reason...

I myself never ran ice scratchers ,never needed them after reformulating my coolant mixture to 25% mineral water,Dura flex cable ice scratchers would be my choice if I ever decide to use them.Best advice ask the Ski Doo guys what they run,most of them always seem to have a overheating issue,they...

Yamaha usually runs a straight blend of antifreeze ,I would try to drain some of the fluid,add some purified water ,usually 75% AF,25 % water mix.Straight antifreeze retains the heat longer,the water mix will disperse the heat and allow better flow rate,also remember to let system purge and...

Some helpful advice to you guys with your overheating issue.Yamaha generally uses 100 percent antifreeze on there machines when new.My advice is to drain some of the coolant and add water,the purer the better,make it about 75 percent coolant 25 percent water,purge system and refill if needed.The...

Any video ??? How did the Big gun runners do ??

I often tell those who ridicule about the weight factor ,it is only a problem if that person is carrying the weight on there back or towing their sled,which is common for those who own two strokes,as for my 4 stroke Yamaha ,I am quite pleased with its reliability and performance and piece of...

What you fail to realize today in business of all manufactures (auto,motorcycle,marine,trucking and last but not least recreational vehicles)is in fact the truth ,all share some sort of involvement with other makers do to the higher cost of engineering and retooling and so on to help keep the...

Its become quite difficult to sell sleds with minimal snow conditions as we experienced this past season this year hear in the northeast,and to add to the second conflict of interest is the high cost of the sleds in general for the machine purchase not to mention the other costs incurred with...

Many of those riders you have mentioned in your forum are probably to egotistical and ignorant or just plain jealous and won't admit it.Don't sweat it,all machines have some quirks to be worked out.In the long run your going to have the last laugh over them,as the common issues of planned...
