Well my season is done, ended this weekend and it has been a great memorable and successful season overall.
The Super Sidewinder logged in just over 1600km and 49hrs of run time.
In that time i have had no issues in reliability or performance and even after a season it feels as solid and tight as day one, a real pleasure to ride. The SW is very smooth, ride wise and engine wise, definitely the smoothest mountain sled i have ever rode. No vibration at your feet or going through the seat so at the end of a day's ride when your poop, its nice. Plus the added bonus of no annoying 2 stroke noise....yaya i know..but had to put that in being everywhere i go people comment on how cool 4 stroke sound...LOL
Eagles pass with some great friends, KB missing WTH, she took the picture.
Clutches
At a 1000km i replaced my drive belt simply as a precaution, the belt it self look completely fine but sure would hate for it to blow on a climb.
I clean my clutches regularly as a maintenance item so i generally get good life out of my clutches plus i rely on my clutches and belt with my life with some chutes i some time attempt.
I did replace the secondary rollers as they did get a flat spot at about 1200km.
In general Yamaha clutches have been spot on for the Super Sidewinder, running warm only to the touch, never hot.
The Super Sidewinder is constant at 3100rpm engagement and shift out of 8750rpm with track speeds easily exceeding 60mph.
KB and i tracks on the opposing mountain, she follow's well LOL.
