    They're Big & They're Out There

    Daily life in my neck of the woods err fields. I'm in rural Northern Ohio and they are everywhere. I treat them the same way I treat a school bus, lots and lots of space.

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    That would be correct. It is preset valving not infinite. Switches to different size orifices controlling oil flow for compression.

    They are Fox QS3 shocks, coil over with rezi cans filled with oil and nitrogen. Allows rider to adjust compression while riding.

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    It's an I-active system. You have 3 settings to choose from for compression, soft, medium and hard from the factory. It also allows the rider to have their own custom settings as well. Your setting is displayed on the cluster. Like I said not as advanced as Doo's closed loop system but still a...

    Sleepy River bridge on trail 13 washed away!

    Rode the Keweenaw this past season for first time since the late 90's. Recently discussed our ride with my group and everyone agreed no reason to ever go back. With the loss of all the loops it made it pretty boring riding trail 3 for miles on end. We have 3 youngsters in their late twenties...

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Ac and Yami have had that combination since MY22. Granted their smart shocks are not as advanced as Doo's but still adjustable on the fly on the handle bars. Guys that have that combo rave about it.

    Sleepy River bridge on trail 13 washed away!

    The U.P. Superior Snowmobile Club posted pictures on their Facebook page of the wash out of this bridge on trail 13 between Twin Lakes and Greenland. Love this trail, hopefully repairs can be made to allow this section of 13 to open for the 23/24 season.

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Over on TY it seemed as if everyone who tried to place an order was denied. When they went to put in payment they were locked out and sent an email about being put on a waiting list. I'm not sure about this and could be wrong but, didn't Canada open up MY24 ordering a couple of days earlier than...

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Really...Wow! I have never owned another brand only Yamaha. In reality my 2 current sleds are Arctic Cats with Yamaha power plants. Do I want to see Yamaha exit the sled market? Not a chance but, I also don't see them staying for the long haul either.

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    I agree 100%. I struggled out of the gate with the SRX, it was either planting the nose hard on decel or the skis were in the air. Not fun with either scenario. I would make some changes like stiffer center spring and adding more compression on the front skis which helped handling but...

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Here are a couple for ya, Polaris Boost VR1 estimated dry weight from the OEM 501 LBS and Doo's 900R estimated dry weight from the OEM 519 LBS. In the 4 stroke platforms the Yami SRX is 40 LBS more than a Doo 900 R, both dry weights from the OEM. In my opinion weight of a sled is not a concern.

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Not anymore than any other 4 stroke motor, besides where I'm from we ride our sleds, we don't carry them. Heck even 2 strokes are now approaching 500 lbs. or more.

    There's a Bobcat in my Car

    I've seen the bobcat's cousin the lynx in Canada a couple of times and a couple of bobcats in PA while spot lighting for deer but never one during the daylight. What a cool little animal they are.

    adjustable limiter strap

    A few helpful hints for you with the trac link limiter strap. On average it takes 4 full turns on the bolt to span factory holes on a stock limiter strap. Make sure to loosen or tighten preload on the center shock spring when making any adjustments from stock.

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Wow this thread is like the real rail industry....off the tracks! I'm not a hater of other brands, I believe were all lucky to be riding these beautiful machines produced today no matter what brand or class. Doo and Poo are market leaders as they produce sleds for every type of rider in every...

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Textron/AC is so far behind in the 4 stroke game it would take a decade or more to catch up with Yamaha and Doo. Noone here has any insight on what these manufactures are up too, anyone's thoughts is just pure speculation and reckless babble IMHO.

    adjustable limiter strap

    Everyone in my group uses the trac link limiter strap. We adjust ours daily when riding. Like dfattack said it's easier to fine tune the center of the sled with its infinite adjustment ability. Once your there it takes 10 seconds to tighten or loosen it one or two turns. Example of this is in...

    2024 Yamaha.Is it going to happen?

    Yamaha designing and manufacturing a new chassis is never going happen. I just hope they continue to produce engines and supply them to more than just AC. One day down the road I will be looking at another sled I just hope whatever brand that may be it has a Yamaha motor in it.
