awful knawful Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I've been talking to lots of guys with 900ts. Most moved from winder's/9000s. I'd say 50%. The other 50% just upgraded from old Doo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy a Sidewinder, your wife might give you your balls back, and you can be on your way to becoming a man. Bhen does some stupid stuff, but I’ve never seen him go SW stupid? Bhen doesn’t even have a AARP card, so he can’t even buy a SW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has to put so much stress on the chassis and components. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a can and a lithium battery on mine and took 22lbs off the front end. It's so easy to pick up now it's crazy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sidewinder SRX in our group steers awesome, and again, nobody in our group of 5 sleds could come close to keeping up in the twisties, or the mile lonf fields. The way he has it set up, the sled rails. I,m always surprised at the number of sledders that don,t know squat about clutching, or setting up the suspension in a sled to get it to do what the owner wants it to do. It,s no wonder Poolaris is able to keep selling so many sleds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely sounds like his expertise though. So, if you move your weight back on a sled it takes pressure off the skis? Holy shit! Somebody notify Snogoer ragazine! I’ve said this for years. Stop trying to water down a race DNA sled to fit a bunch of half-witted, fat Klim wearing, non-riders with glass spines and the athletic ability of celery that can’t figure out how to ride a performance machine. All for not now...Textron is dumping cash into the brand. Tbh cat has about the best all around sled right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I,ve got a good buddy that owns both, he prefers the Sidewinder, and says the 900 turbo is twitchy and not as planted on the front end. He previously had an 850 doo, and found that twitchy at high speeds, and got rid of it after owning it for only 2 weeks. They were kinda scarce, so he sold it for more than he paid for it. He said it has some punch down low, but lacks power once you get to around 70 mph, and squeeze it, you,re kinda waiting for something to happen, and it ain,t happening. The Sidewinder has it all, from trail speeds, to top end, and all the way thru, no matter when you squeeze it, it,s there, and happy to give you all the power you may want. Too much, is never enough. I cann,t imagine going to a lower powered sled, and from what I see on Totally Yamaha, very few guys that own Sidewinders or Thundercats say the same thing. Kinda like the good kinda crack, once you,ve had it, hard to give it up. Edited February 24, 2019 by Frostynuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodtick Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 The SW is so popular, you can buy a new 17, 18, and 19. All from the same dealer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
