I guess my Nytro needs a new set of ball joints allready, I don't even have a season let alone over 800 km on the thing. There totally worn out. Thats a few hundred extra to spend when I shouldnt have to. No Warranty, sleds an import :(

You do know this Sport is suppose to be FUN.
Did you just find out your Yamaha was a import?

ron's and my sled both came from states=no warrentty! sucks but for the dollar you can buy a lot of ball joints!:d also a word of caution to nytro owners watch the bottom of the spindle where the ski bolts, it will wear! and also the a-arm bolts and bushings! i replaced the plastic bushings with ULMER RACING brass bushings when i had front end apart. and heard stories about the bolts loosening!

I noticed it the other day when I had my Nytro up on the hoist. Quite a bit of play between the spindle and ball joint. Is the spindle worn or the BJ?? Bought Jan of 08 and only 2000K on it. What's the deal with that??? Seems a bit weak!!!!

check with your dealer or another dealer , sounds to me like those should be warranty. pm me your vins and i can chek it out after easter long week end, for the record we never changed any for excessive wear, but i do believe we do some on warranty updates,
