Yamaha's teaser.
Pretty much. The Yamahas have been a 3 cylinder 4 stroke going back a long time.Well technically the Sidewinder is a triple. So Im going to assume just how they chose to add the BNG this year.
Oh, man, if it was though...........Ah. I was thinking this was a 2 stroke

It would never fit unless you really re-worked the chassis. I've been thinking and measuring things for years hoping I can get it to work efficiently. Here is a triple stuffed into the IQR and thats a "wide" front end compared to the new sleds. You'd probably have to go single pipe and once you choke it with a single pipe, the power output just wouldn't be comparable to the 2 cyl for power to weight. Only thing I can think of that might make it work is to reverse the engine and put the pipes straight out under the seat. There was a guy that did it in Quebec years ago, but it was only with a 1000 twin into the XP chassis i think. I couldn't find any pictures of it.A "new-tech" 3 cyl 2S squeezed into a late model chassis would sell like hot cakes, especially to the eastern crew. But can you imagine the price...?
Nice unit dude, sent it to the Freak ......It would never fit unless you really re-worked the chassis. I've been thinking and measuring things for years hoping I can get it to work efficiently.

Maybe, I don't remember it being an official "Ski Doo' prototype. I think the guy was loosely affiliated to Ski Doo somehow (former engineer or something?). It was a lot of years ago, I'm pretty sure it was the first XP style chassis (maybe early release 07?).Skidoo had a prototype twin with the pipes out the back as well. I don’t remember it being in a xp chassis, but maybe we are thinking of the same sled???
You bet ran a pair of CPI pipes on a Rev made good top end power!Maybe, I don't remember it being an official "Ski Doo' prototype.

This is a 1000 RT stuffed in a Rev chassis. It was doable with the Rev for forward mounting the pipes but that is a lot of pipe REEEEAAAALLLLY close to the plastics. The triple would be tight tight tight. I feel Like CarbonDaddy in revy had something like a 1000 in an XP chassis or the APEX 3 cyl in a Doo chassis? I know they were building the Nypex's at the time. Anything is possible if you got the time and money.
Edit - had to google it and he did make a RT1000 CF chassis, not sure what they changed to get the Nytro motor in it. https://www.snowest.com/forum/threads/carbon-fibre-apex-sold.305921/page-2
