Some fucking engineering school dropout took up the meth pipe and autocad at the same time and shit out the procross. It's a fucking abysmal failure of ergonomics

Winningest chassis ever built tho. 

Just a stab here but, it may just be you. :dunno:

 

:lol:

The whole steering post broke off of her sled for fatigue I'm guessing. Her husband decided to tear his Yammy apart after this happened to her sled . This what he foundNo photo description available.No photo description available.

This was a recall item in 2014(?). Cat/Yammi replaces with a HD steering post bracket.  The HD brackets went into all 2015 models afterwards...I think it was all models anyway.  

I just called them and they sent me the new bracket and I put it in myself.  Mine was good...still got it somewhere.

I'll have to tell my buddy to check his. He just purchased his first ever (used) Yamaha Viper this year and so far said he really likes it, especially the engine.

That is disappointing to hear. I really like the looks of the SRX and being as I am strictly a trail rider, I thought it might be a great sled for me? Leaning towards Doo and the R-Motion anyways but I would still love to try one.

As far as new Yammies go, my guess, and it's only a guess, is they will release something in the 2 stroke variety this year? They have a European 600 2 stroke already (The Transporter) so, in my opinion, if they are not going to come out with something entirely new/non Catish, then they will throw this at us?  https://sledmagazine.com/actions/page?docId=10908&request_locale=en

 

That has the cat ctec engine in it.

     My buddy has an ltx se it rides better than the SRX with the big dollar shocks only issue is it bottoms on the big bumps.

It has the big dollar shocks. I talked to the Lesters for an hour at the Novi snow show. They said it was the best riding/handling sidewinder yet. I was expected to ride it. To say I was disappointed is sn understatement. 

 

the ride quality is half the problem. The Sidewinders have other issues that are showing there face three years in. such as these still have chanecase issues. Site glasses are going into the case and blowing them apart. Reverse shift forks are breaking and taking cases out. Clutchs are breaking where the pin goes through the tower to hold the weight in. My two buddys turbos locked up and many others report the same issues. My other buddies ltxle skid frame is rusting out terribly with paint missing everwhere. It’s a 2017 wity 1200 miles. 

 

 

Poo 850 is the best sled on snow...

When are you getting one? 

Year after next. I'm going to ride the assault one more season. I really like it. But after that it will have too many miles to keep another year. The 850 poo should be pretty polished by then.

I'm gonna guess you're correct ....if you get a motor that's put together right.

Well that's what I meant. If you get one that doesn't blow up. :lol:

Seems like that whole thing has settled down some...maybe not the debacle that was predicted early on.

Really....I wonder what the true failure rate really is...not the HCS numbers.

Had zero to do with his sled. He like Blair Morgan would’ve won on any sled they were on as they were just that much better than the other riders

You are both wrong.  :lol:

It’s rider paired with machine.  Period.  And why does everyone think Cats only claim to racing success is Tucker and SX?

Silly, silly men.   :lmao:
