4 Stroke or nothing

Question Guys - Found a good deal on a 2017 sidewinder. Just curious if there’s enough difference between the ‘18 - ‘19 to warrant spending the extra cash?

I bought my 2017 last year as a hold over, I talked to a few Yami reps and they said for the $3000 in savings that the 2018 wasn't worth the extra cost.

I have a 2014 174 Boost It Viper, no head shim.
I am looking to dial her in better. Handling and performance. It has the baker rear skid with elka shock. Thinking of installing the zbroz front shock spring. it also has the zbroz 38" a arms and zbroz shocks. Turbo kit all boost it other than the short header pipe.
Can pm me. Thanks advance

I’m going to get me one of these...and seeing my SW stuck will be only a myth.

Hopefully I don’t drive myself over

If i had a 2017, 2018 and a 2019 sitting in front of me and could save a bunch by going with the oldest model year, i'ed be picking up the 17.
The only big difference is the drop and roll of the cases. Too some that's improved to other's its more of a hindrance of getting smashed or driver damage.
There is also a slight intake change but aftermarket kits for intake are better, there are plenty of guys running stock intake and no problems.

Your planning ahead LOL, that is my wife's job and about the closes she get's to riding the Winder. She's scared of it LOL
Plus Winder's don't get stuck, that's just an uneducated rumor from the 2 smoke crowd, they just get delayed.

Could be your reverse actuator motor if it doesn’t engage reverse you may need a new one. Might have to take it in. Not sure if that’s a warranty item or not.

ive had issues with my reverse and sd-08 code. Typically I have it out a cog and it locks into that groove and won’t actuate it...or like xmrider163 said is your actuator. Pull it off. Start the sled and see if it rotates. If it does follow the procedure in the service manual to install it. You can down load the service manual in my 174 build thread at the end.

Mine is doing the same thing, went to go use reverse and straight to code SD-08. Took the reverse actuator off and tried it to see if there was any movement and nothing. Opened it up and full of water/moisture around the motor so Im assuming its toast.

How are you guys liking the new sidewinders. Thinking about a 17 m9000 high country?

 

[Pistonbroke]

It is probably low testosterone. Talk to your doctor.

Should we get a bunch of stickers made reading “ask me about my low testosterone” and slap them on every 2 smoker we see?
