Talked to my dealer yesterday and "pencilled" my name in on a red LTX-SE.

He's going to have one in soon for demo.
Apparently there are only 14 in Canada right now, and they're all prototypes.

I'm a groomed trail rider and feel this is the best fit for me.

I am looking to get a new sled and have ties to a good Yamaha dealer, that dealer has let me have protytpes to ride. My only problem with the new Viper is the colours. I am wondering which will be better, one with Yamaha clutching or one with Artic Cat clutching???

Yamaha's clutching is probably the best in the biz.

should have got the xtx se

i would get one if i already paid for a pro rmk...look like good rides

[Momorider]

Historically they have probably been the worst, seems like they have the reliability down butt their tunability is lacking huge

Well, I went in a different direction, and bought a leftover brand new 2011 Apex xtx today.

Gonna wait a few years now, and see what they do with the 4 cyl.

laugh all you want, but the fact is, it is not the actual clutches that are the issue in the drive train, it is the jackshaft set up, and the gear case, and that remaINS THE SAME IN BOTH SLEDS. tHE VIPER WILL EAT BELTS IF THE CAT 7000 EATS BELTS.

Thats what I was thinking.

Got a link?

Not saying 100% you're wrong but everything I have read about the issue is that it is the clutches, and mainly the secondary.

Thats what I was thinking.

Didn't think you were serious at all with your question?
