Hey everyone, I just bought my first sled last Winter, an 08 Nytro from a private seller with 11 miles on it - 7000 with a cover :cool: I've been a snowboarder for 15 years and wanted a snowmobile that would take me anywhere, and also be something I wouldn't feel guilty about putting lots of time and money into over the years making it a fire breathing beast. Anyways...I'd like suggestions on what you think I should do first? My thoughts are that I'd like to strip some weight off, maybe replace the shocks or skis - anything functional. We do a majority of our riding in deep Pacific Northwest snow, and I'm a pretty light guy (140), so I'd like to try and make it lighter and a bit softer to throw around. I'm not very familiar with brands or websites so any info (SERIOUSLY, ANYTHING!) would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!

Here is my 2008 Nytro MTX. It is not turbo'd. I did a port and polish, after market exhaust, air box mod and power commander (for port and polish). That woke it up quite a bit. I did spend a lot on this sled with CR tunnel and seat blah blah. It is a great sled that will last you a long long time. It is a little beefy in the weight department but boondocks like a champ when you get used to what most call the "tippy" feel. It has great torque and its a turn key sled. I have 2800kms on mine and have had zero grief.:d. Cheapest weight loss is going to come from exhaust, rear skid, and seat. But it still isnt cheap. Good luck, good choice.

Cheers,:beer:

Hi astern.mp

We are a Skinz dealer and have several aftermarket parts available for the nytro specifically. Here is a link to our website and the Nytro specific parts section:



Hope that helps, if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask!

what do you think your getting for HP now with that being done?

I need to take it and get the correct mapping for the power commander and put it on the dyno to be sure. But im going to guess at about 150-155ish. It will toast a stock apex but that doesnt say to much because of the extra weight.

Cheers,

If I could only do one thing I would save my money for a turbo. Yes the lightweight parts make a difference for getting unstuck and throwing around, but the turbo will put a grin on your face that you just cant get rid of! It also makes the sled feel like it is 100lbs lighter when riding around. Good luck with your choices, more power or lighter, doesn't matter, both are good!

What/whos front bumper is that? It looks much more usable (for lifting) than the Skinz...but it sure looks a lot like the Skinz..

Looks like the Yami accessory bumper(aluminum) I have the same one in polished but I don't find it as tough as stock for hitting trees, LOL

It is a yamaha bumper. It stands up fairly good.:d I have hit a few "obstacles" :d and it's still there.

:beer:

Mine crushed like a tin can as well as a buddy with the same bumper. Did not even know I hit anything until I got back to the truck at the end of the day. Not that durable IMO. Stock is way stronger.

How about a WRP Mountain ASSAULT Seat, or some Mountain TUFF Running Boards?
