Who picks up the little market share Yamaha had? Do the faithful jump ship to the Doo Turbo's? Does Cat rush a 4 stroke for the Catalyst chassis; maybe with a yamaha motor? Does Polaris turbo or otherwise improve their latest 4 stroke? Or does the 4 stroke market remain small and the buyers...

This was easier when I bought an 07 phazer after renting one and my 2014 viper because it was the best 4s on the market at the time. Now, after a failed cat 800 experiment and an enjoyable albeit slow time on a cat rr 4000 ( 80 hp 500 2s) I have no idea where to turn. looking to buy this...

Can a factory turbo ecu be used on a stock na viper or not?

Edit - maybe it isn't legit- I just realized the ad says "brochure" as opposed to "in stock" Browsing craigslist today and I came across a new 2016 YXZ 100R for $12K - seems like even better holdover pricing than snowmobiles, do the SXS typically depreciate more?

After having my secondary apart several times this season I began to realize I'd lost some life on my secondary spring. Sure enough, I bought a new one and I can tell just squeezing with my hands that the new one is much tighter. Stock spring, 3500 miles on it. So, what effect on top rpm can...

Have any of you found a good way to 0_30,0_60 and 0_top speed using a smartphone app. I see some car guys plugging into their obdii and using that in conjunction with phone app to track sel codes as well as performance times/speeds.

A couple of weeks of rain and warmth has left my enclosed trailer full of moisture - my gear is getting wet and walls of trailer too. Other than dragging out a heater or fan what other ways do you guys keep moisture under control? I do use a broom and a track stand to get as much snow off...

What would your preference be for trail riding a yamaha modified sled? I'm seeing supercharged nytros, turbo apexes, and nypex's reasonably priced now. I'm thinking maybe in two or three years when I planned to replace my 14 viper I'll keep that for rides with my kids, and get a high...

I just remembered I was going to post this. Me and my favorite riding buddies. We started this tradition a few years ago when they started celebrating Halloween - it always makes me ready for snow!!

Wit my oldest boy turning 8 this season, I figured it was time to get a two up since I struggled to see around him in front of me last year. I went with the RTK seat/storage box. I liked the idea of the storage for overnight trips,its less expensive than other options, is easyon/off. I bought...

Snowtech November 2016, page 42. " as manufacturing transitioned to thief river falls, Arctic added only one new Scorpion model-the Sidewinder- for 1981, basically an Arctic Cat dressed in Scorpion clothing" So, what other model names could yamaha get from Cat? Or, could this also mean the...

14 rtx Last winter: COTC,8DN, Soft start primary,9-1 wrap ( this was an accident I didn't realize until year end clutch disassemble) 8800+rpm, 101mph top speed achieved only once. Blew out tribhub last ride of year, not sure how long it took but that might have affected top speed at least...

This is the first year I've noticed Cat, Doo and Yamaha all offering 4 years of "coverage" during spring buys. One of the reasons I didn't end up on a leftover Cat 7000 was due to warranty for 5 years being about $1200 (I think I have that right, for sure it was more than a grand) vs. the...

I figured this is the right forum to discuss all things 2017 for all brands. Doo: Hits - Upgraded Chassis - Gen4 and 850 etec Misses - Nothing new for us 4 stroke guys Polaris: Nothing for us 4stroke guys. Yamaha/Cat tbd

I'm seeing some killer deals this year on 15s and 16s. Would dealers be aware of a new sled coming? Or did they miss out on December sales due to low snow?

With new carbides I feel like I'm running corners at higher speed, even very tight corners. This has caused me to notice that the handlebars seem to sweep down towards my hips instead of pulling strait towards my shoulders. The geometry just feels different than it did on my Phazer. I'm about...

I thought it'd be interesting to see everyone's hours vs. miles. This is NOT a who is fastest thread, I'd rather just see the breadth of how different Viper riders use there sleds. Miles: 1696 Hours:53.1 MPH avg: 31.9 Turbo: No Location: MI I'm a trail rider with 90% of my miles so far being...

This is my first annual service, do dealers follow a set list? What kind of cost should I expect?

I'm thinking about installing a back up camera on the truck to ease the trailer hookup and parking process. Does anyone have any experience with these in snow?

Towards the end of last season I felt like my seat foam was breaking down a bit. Today, while washing the sled I can feel a divot in the foam about an inch or two from the back "hump", right in the center. Basically, right where I sit. Does anyone else notice this divot? I'll bring it to my...
