    looking for the voices of experience on Sidewinders

    I came from an 09 Nitro XTX (7500 miles) to an 18 Winder LTX-LE(950 miles). My knees hit so I added 2" to the riser which helped a bunch. Put Curve skis on it with duallies right out of the crate but it still pushed with 192 studs. Pulled in the front limiter straps 1 hole which helped alot...

    Melt Down

    Will do. Real strange. I can believe that heat from the brake disk would melt that cover but maybe. Who knows?

    Melt Down

    Relax! Not what you are thinking! 18 LTX-LE, there is more to this issue and question but just need to get some initial feedback. If the brake lever was partially pressed while riding, would it create enough brake disk friction/heat to melt the black plastic cover that is riveted under the sled...

    Rant/Observation

    Have you seen the one sidewinder baseball cap that Yamaha offers? It is a summer white plastic mesh. Not even a winter hat. I have heard of guys going to embroidery shops and trying to create their own. What a joke for buying the top of the line Yamaha. :o|:o|:o|:o|:o|:o|:o|:o|:o|:o|:o|

    Riser Bolts Loose

    Got the Winder home yesterday and discovered two of the four lower bolts on the riser were loose. They were snug but noticeably more loose then the other two. Does anyone know if the dealer installs the riser or does it come from the factory installed? Hopefully it was just a dealer oversight...

    How Much Carbide

    137 LTX-LE, Curve XS skis, 192 studs down the middle - As usual, like everyone else, I don't want it not to push in the corners but have the steering pressure be as light possible. Is there anyone on TY with this setup that can tell me how much carbide to run?

    Cat windshield

    I don't see a crosstrek in the 2017 a/c accessories catalog. I see a mid 11, mid 14, and LXR 13. Anyone using any of these windshields?

    Cat windshield

    Yamaha does not have much choice for a taller windshields for the Sidewinder. No surprise there. A/C seems to have several choices. I'm looking for mid-height. Anyone put an A/C windshield on a Sidewinder? Which one? How about A/C side deflectors?

    Camoplast replacement track

    I have a Sidewinder LTX LE with the 137 track coming this fall. The stock track is a 1.25 inch lug. 1.25 can't be long enough for 200h.p. I am trying to decide whether to stud it or swap for an aftermarket Camoplast. I think there is a 1.6 lug with studs inserted in the lugs. Looking for...

    Munising MI hotel ?

    Anyone stay at the Holiday Inn out on the west side of Munising on M-28? Looks like a great view of the bay. I've always stayed at the hotels in Wetmore.

    Boon Michigan, Bonfire?

    Thanks guys. I have seen the fire stop in Reed City but never ridden there. It is interesting how some towns cater to sledders and then other towns like Marquette could care less. There is a hotel and restaurant in Twin Lakes in the U.P that completely caters to sledders. Really cool place to...

    Boon Michigan, Bonfire?

    I ride in Michigan but have only ridden in Cadillac a few times. Northwest of Cadillac is the little burg of Boon. I understand that there is often a bonfire for sledders by Boon. Can anyone tell me specifically where the bonfire is? Is it right on the trail? The bonfire at Lakeninland in the...

    Install Lighter - Please Help

    Great picture. Found it. Right where you said it would be. Perfect. Made my day. Thanks so much for your effort. I sure did not want to drag this thing 120 miles to the dealer to get the lighter plugged in. Mine had a hard white plastic cover over the end that clipped in. Thanks again. ;)! ;)...
