It's even worse than the Viper and the Sidewinder as it's a full-on AC. Yamaha has lost it's mind!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but at least they were putting some yamaha stuff in there besides an engine like clutching and gauge and other knick knacks. Its just a 100% blue arctic cat now.

That engine is everything I’ve wanted out of an 800 from doo for over a decade I've got over 6000 miles on 2 ETEC 800's. Only issue ever had was a fouled plug likely caused by the summerizing program the ETEC can run fogging the engine. Both run extremely strong and have been outstanding motors.

That would be like ford selling a GM product calling it a ford becuase they slapped Ford badges on it. This has zero to do with how good or bad the AC motor is. You don't get that becuase your AC brand loyal. I don't care if the AC motor was the best 800 of all time. Yamaha should be building their own motors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last chassis Yamaha built was the Nytro. Until they can build a better chassis than the Pro Cross. Really no need to come to the party. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
