  1. I'm sure your procross did too.
  2. I'm still trying to picture how this works. Do they have days they let Yamaha run the line? Or does the guy call in the blue orders?
  3. Heard they will have a retro look this year. Red and white. Maybe Cat will give them a 800 procross riot? Yami seems to like to introduce some minor tweak each year. Hard to see them putting a different engine in the old chassis. If Cat couldn't get the 800 together for the catalyst, they aren't going to be ready for a yamaha in it.
  4. Nothing but procross left. One 7000, one 9000, the rest 8000. Mostly the mountain sleds.
  5. Still one blast model left for ordering. No other kids sleds.
  6. Are they going to make any for dealers to sell?
  7. I saw a Cat branded one in January in the UP.
  8. Yep, I'd prefer not to pay extra for it, and it's a hassle to deal with maintaining the battery. Plus you'd think if Cat was looking at every way to lose weight, that's an easy one. At least until the next lawsuit so they can get the SHOT thingy from doo. If it came down to paying for better shocks (say what they put on the sno pros around 2018 over the lxr ifp specials) or estart, I'd take the better shocks all day long.
  9. I forgot they pick out colors too.
  10. What does Yamaha head of production for snowmobiles do? Pick out decals?
  11. More taxes and centralized control will fix the weather!
  12. I've seen blast on the trails in the 3 years or so they've been out. They've sold out every year but that doesn't mean much since textron can't or won't make many of them. Agree they would sell a lot if they were allowed to sit on a dealer's floor. Family is up riding and wouldn't it be nice to get something newer for the kids to ride? I almost bought an evo one year in July that way. Wish I would have. I'm not a doo guy but I think the neo is a better concept at the price point but I haven't ridden either.
  13. Yamaha's production line manager? So a textron employee?
  14. Was kind of pissed when the rotors I ordered from rockauto were chinese, but with the shipping involved, I installed them anyway. Should have double checked ahead of time.
  15. Hate to see it. Figure the US can't be that many years behind.
  16. That's great. That guy makes me not want to buy a cat.
  17. Saw improved cooling mentioned. That's been an issue with the procrosses in our group.
  18. Was reported on mainstream and fringe websites.
  19. That's the key point - if production is done overseas, it helps the earth.
  20. The point is that is how the protestors were sharing info off the grid and apple put an end to that
  21. First broken bone was playing king of the hill in 2nd grade. Didn't stand a chance.
  22. We need more refining capacity more than additional oil generation. Companies aren't going to invest in long term production when the govt couldn't be more clear about its intentions.
  23. Unfortunately this seems to be fake news.
  24. Yep that's my issue with the 137 too. The racewerx coupler block helped but it still isn't as good as the 129.
  25. Me too. I have a 137 and prefer the 129 on my riding bud's sled. At least on the cats it's better in more situations for me. Would also like to get track choices but that might be asking too much from cat.
