2010 Dear Yamaha

[Timberwolf1050]

Stock, maybe....but swap the skid and track and you've got a whole different animal. This is what will make the '10 models, especially the SE, so exciting, because of the longer track (and hopefully better version of the Maverick POS), lighter and tunable skid (similar to Timbersled), I think out of the box this sled WILL surprise people. Not to mention the lower approach angle...Maybe I'll have to eat my words, but I think the 162 SE stock will be a very very good all around mountain machine. Is it gonna highmark the 800's? Probably not, but it won't be far below.

X2. I too was a little disappointed when the 2010 sleds were announced but I do believe the SE Nytros are a step in the right direction. The track and rear skid were IMO the biggest stumbling blocks for the 08 -09 Nytros. Should be a big improvement. I will however hang on to my 08 for a while. It has lost over 60 lbs (just a little more than 21)

Crappy. Glad I bought a new AC M8. I was worried for a while that they might make something crazy right from the factory, but I feel better all the way. Really wish that Yamaha would spend some time looking at these forums, taking a good hard look at what Real MTN riders want from their sleds, then go from there. I like Yamaha because they make one h*ll of a product as far as build quality and reliability goes, but then again it sucks that you need to put a 4G turbo on them to make them go where other stock factory sleds go. Oh well, maybe next year.....AGAIN.

I'll put a boosted Nytro against any factory ride. You cant even compare the boosted sleds with the factory rides, its not even close anymore. When you boost the Nytro you almost feel like you should put on tights and a red cape. With the improvements they DID make it will only make it better.

i really like the new 162 nytro and i think the new skid could just be the cats *** with the floats crank up the pressure and u could make it stiff enough to handle boost. I'd take one but i'm still workin on the apex. I think next year will be a breakout year with the replacement of the apex. At least 150hp in a chassis prolly similiar to the nytro, with the new skid and such just add boost and track probably.

Can't expect manufacturers to reinvent the wheel every year, especially in todays economy.
