About expected from yamaha, a factory turbo with a newly designed, exciting, reliable lineup based off the srv chassis. The Jap built motor isnt bad at all in my eyes......made in USA doesn't mean jack. For nor now I will keep riding my 7000km low boost nytro and keep my pockets full :)

Heck of an idea IMO as long as its built well and has adequate tie downs, I haul a 2500lb camper on my truck and loaded with gear i'm just legal. With 4 sleds and gear should be close.
Anyone riding this weekend? I will be near atlas staging area and am stayin Friday night through Monday or Tuesday but can meet anywhere in the area. Planning to catch some brookies as well :)
Tracks are amazing in the snow but do have limitations like flood water, If you break through the top layer of ice it can be a real pain to get back on top, but really no different than a sled or wheeled atv either. Make sure you clean the idler wheels off before you park on a cold day or they...
I've put this thing to hell and back many times and she just keeps begging for more, just installed a 42" light bar for hopefully a snow filled AB winter :)

Coming off of a 130hp mountain max 700 with a 151 the 180 has tons of power for my needs (for now anyways) and easy enough to bump it to the 240 setup. Thanks for the heads up Lund but if I ditch the valve what do you suggest to protect the motor?
Had a viper 4500 on my rhino for 5 years, broke the spool a couple years back and they fixed it no problem I just had to ship it to them and they paid for shipping back to me, bought it off ebay for about $420 shipped to my door
I picked up a 162 mcx180 at the start of the year with 6000kms but had all the goodies suspension wise. Had to replace the relay for the rollover valve and the sled has been great, turn the key at any elevation and go!
I use Wigwams or Smartwool but any high wool blend sock is good, avoid cotton if you can. I was also taught a trick a few years back....put deodorant on your feet top and bottom, sounds ridiculous but helps them from sweating.....sweat=wet=cold and uncomfortable
haven't seen much on here about ATV/UTV tracks, what do you have? how do you like them....Pics....
I have the camoplast UTV ones for 4 years now and there great! slower for sure but amazing were you can go with them, deep snow covered hills not so much greatness lol but that's what sleds are...
For a 1/2" Air impact my vote is for Ingersoll Rand 2135TiMAX, had it for 5 years and it will break anything I need and its only about 4lbs. If that don't do the trick I use the 3/4 or 1" MAC from work but they are tanks
The new BFG K02 are nice, quiet, good traction, supposed to last longer than the old all terrains and they have better sidewall traction. My old ones were great on snow/ice, hopefully these new ones will be better yet.
Heading to Maui in 10 days, hopefully I return to the sweet flatland of Alberta covered in the white stuff. Forecast is looking good across western Canada for mid Nov dumps of fresh POW
My first mountain riding experiences were on a stock mm700 with 141x2 DEEP SNOW SPECIAL lol, the thing worked great for what it was then I put 151 x2, better skis, pipes, head, clutching yada yada yada.....made a HUGE difference with the right track speed and getting that tripe to float better...
