If I could have one vintage sled it would be that one......drool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren’t worth a fuck on the track though. And the engines liked to come apart at like 9400rpm too. And they only ran the Vipers at Duluth to put some time on the sleds before the XC season started.

The whole god damn Yami engineering dept was on site to get those things and stout as possible. The beating was surprising. 4s just don’t have it for that shit. We actually felt sorry for them.

To me, this 95 sounds exactly like mine. I doubt it has triple pipes on it? Second place goes to the Yamaha Apex. My Vector sounds sweet but not as snotty as my 93 or the Apex.

I always liked the sound of them with the stock exhaust. Then I like the power with the pipes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed the 93 sound when I purchased my 95. It still sounded sweet but wasn't as loud nor as throaty as my 93. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Yeah, welding the crank was optimal and I had that done on my 94 and 95 XLT's. Strangely my 1996 XCR600 was fine and those were known crank eaters. Hell, a buddy had the crank break on his 96 going 40mph in Yellowstone. You just never know. Edited January 5, 2019 by Big Crappie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
