Thinkin turbo xtx

[ddvb1204]

My 09 sumitt 860r is done. Hit a pole under the snow impacted the primary motor exploded.It is insured hoping for 9k if im lucky. I am thinking about geting 2012 xtx nytro. I dont ride the mountain that much mabey once a year. Rivers pipelines powerlines 1 or 2 feet of snow. My 860 made about 175 hp would like 200hp nytro. Want the reliability of a 4 stroke skidoo always tinkering with s!!!. Never got more than 500 k on a motor. I here 10000k on a turbo no problem is this true or bull s!!!. I JUST WANT TO RIDE AND BE LEADING THE PACK. Opinions please.

no mater what you ride.....if you hit a pole.....there is no sled that will live through that! lol sorry for your bad luck......and yes 310 HP 4 stroke and 4500 miles......so far!

I don't think you'll hear anyone disagree that the motors are dead reliabilte and durable. The rest of the sled is still a sled...drive line bearing replacements, suspension maintenace, track replacements, etc.

Also, I would think any mod sled is going to have a little more PM to keep it running relaibly. You've got more moving parts to maintain.

500kms on a motor....a 4stroke will not even be broke in. I've got 6100kms, 600 on boost (just 5 psi so far).

Problems I've had that I think were yamis fault: starter relay, bolt in chain case retaining gear on drive shaft, and throttle position sensor. Oh, and the Maverick track is lame. The steering bushings on the Apex are weak as are the front suspension bushings. But there are aftermarket fixes for both of these.

Fairly minor stuff really, and only the bolt head snapping off in the chain case caused me to loose any riding time (1/2 day).

The dark side awaits...

Yamaha is known for its engines, all makes and models have there pro's and con's. like stated previously with a few upgrades they are all decent, just depends on the riders preferance and wallet. There is no such thing as gas and go. even yamaha's requires maintenance.

15 to 18 grand sled and turbo complete, brand new. depends on who's kit and installation. that is if you buying new. used nytros run anywhere from 7 grand to the price of a new one... kits are generally 6000 plus... plus being clutching, gauges, brakets...etc

6000km my nitro low boost ditch sled. 153 mtx. I drive the snot outa it and she never let me down 16 mile long lake at my house. To the bar one end tothe other all the time Never go back to a 2 stroke unless it were a 800 cat. Those engines are high mile motors, as far as 2 stroke goes anyway

what turbo kit recomended I ride 1000-2000 feet

anyone of them. ulmer, alpine, BD, powderlite, push, mpi, impulse,mcx... they all work.
i suggest if your not going to install the kit yourself go with your dealers choice as they will be closets to you for support or whomever is installing it as there are a asset to have for techical support. its great to have a turbo guys number and a good relationship with them...

I just completed a XTX with a 1 3/4 backcountry track and the new MPI 180 turbo kit. The XTX with the taller gearing and awesome suspension it frigging rips, IMO One wicked sled !!!!! Darren

MCX. Proven, reliable. Closest thing to gas and go bar none.

Your right. I will rephrase that. In my opinion of course. I feel it's the best kit for everyday start and go. No programs. No maps

 

[muddybike]

about how much would it cost to get a xtx setup with that mpi turbo and a backcountry.
