2018 Yamaha Sidewinder MTX 162 Build

dragonweld28 · Jan 24, 2018

Would love to ride with you XmRider. And I'm no superstar.. My sled ran over me a few trips ago. sled went wide open when it rolled and the track hit me wrecking my jacket... and pride. It was pretty funny.

Keep uploading more videos. Always fun watching guys enjoying the sport.

For Crying out loud. IM not on the Poo juice. A turbo doo 175 or a turbo Cat 174 would end in the same results. I'm not bashing... Lund was saying how no 2 stroke will ever compare. So, i made a comment. As stated previously, a STOCK sidewinder is not as fast as a turbo pro or axys 174......

They have to be either stretched to a 174 of need a skid..

Okay well if that’s the case you wanna make. Find a STOCK sled that will even come close to a sidewinder! Out of the box. Hands down best stock machine you can buy, and I’ve ridden a doo for many years and a pro Aswell! And good riding buddy has a cat! And you can buy a stock sidewinder for cheaper then what it will cost you to build that turbo 2 stroke

Ya know all criticism aside I am just happy to ride this year, I definately want to ride with more people with Winders that have done different things so that I can learn and tweek accordingly. I will race anyone win or lose just for the hell of it but no buls$!t my sled is fairly quick so it makes it fun. We are heading out this weekend and it looks like it may be deep so I am really curious how the heavy yammie is gonna do against my buddies lightweight rockets, either way I will post honest results and Niner as well (his last vid of our race was awesome in showing how close our sleds are!). I have owned all brands and even though its heavier than the 2 strokes I sure love riding it, no joke but in the end different snow conditions are gonna give different results. I would love to ride with XMrider163 just to see how much your tune really ads, gotta be honest I think in the deep my 174 is gonna be knocking on your door but in the hardpack I will just see tail lights ha ha, lets get the go pro's fired up and do some drag racing!

Oh Benny you were drinking the Poo juice pretty hard this morning. Last year Paul’s sidewinder as a 174 was faster than my pro. Mine climbed better than his as a 162 but once he was 174 his climbed better. Chrisco 174 Axys at 12 lbs was faster than the sidewinder by a small bit. Paul’s sidewinder was down 4-500 rpm last year because of crappy rollers. His sidewinder is faster this year. Your sled Benny is as far from stock as Paul’s is. Paul and I have been riding 174 tracks for the last 12 years that’s why he built one for his. Getting way off topic here, love your thread Xmrider but should keep the bashing to the fat chick thread.

To be fair Niner it was 10 pounds.. 12 pounds will be tomorrow lol.

Wish I could come just got back on site. See how my 2nd choice for sled runs. I was pretty close to doing the Axys MNTK turbo setup from you. But I’m also curious what just a Tune on a sidewinder does compared to 10psi Two Stroke aswell.

You better turn that boost up. My sled is way faster with the clutching you did for me.

Back from Revy Trip was awesome, deep snow, decent weather and the last day was bluebird! We got a surprise tour from Randy Swenson made for a pretty awesome day! Taught us some group awareness, and made a few nice lines on his Yamaha Sidewinder. She’s a memory packed trip for sure.

Great videos! Kind of funny seeing the direct comparison as those 2 stroke seem like baby sleds against the sidewinder. I ride a 2 stroke and rode the Sidewinder last year on the tour and they are nice!! Thanks for sharing.

Xmrider163 · Feb 10, 2018

I enjoy riding both but I’m having the most fun I’ve had riding this Yamaha sidewinder! Just rips!

Did a little tree riding, ended up in a tree...... go figure. Still working on my tree riding abilities. And did a few drops nothing big but that’s pretty addicting gonna be doing some bigger ones for sure.

His 6th attempt but he got it in style

Got boost want snow · Feb 11, 2018

Looks like it is working awesome!!! I know I have rode 4stroke since 2003 and would never go back to a 2 stroke just my choice. The sidewinder is the best 4 stroke made to date, don't get me wrong I love my turbo apex and the turbo viper but they are all aftermarket.

Xmrider163 · Feb 12, 2018

Snow was deep enough I couldn’t just blast over everything if I took a bad line.
