I have a beat up Mountain Max out back and an RX1 with engine issues and the temptation to put the 700 triple in the RX1 is almost overpowering....lol.
This has been done. Its not easy buy has been done... I recall seeing it on the TY forums a couple years ago. Some guy in Sweden or Iceland.
If I remember right it weighed the pretty much same as it did in the two stroke chassis in the end.

That was my estimate, same weight but RX1 looks way cooler than MM in my opinion.

Thats WAY to little HP!! 160-170 hp without turbo than we are speaking! I realy hope the new engine that will sitt in a new mtx mountain have minimum 160hp and that it is made for turbo convertion. Strong rods that can handle 350 hp

judging by this report anything is possible.. yamaha has not even scratched the surface of their goal of 250 new models company wide. new sleds are coming, and YAMAHA SPECIFIC ones at that!

Merely stretching the Viper and turbocharging the current genesis engine for the 2015 mtx release does not seem to square with what Yamaha announced last year:
" Partnering with YMC Japan, development is already underway on state-of-the-art four-stroke high-technology snowmobile engines, which will take us into a completely new dimension of performance, and new sled platforms. And did I mention that was engines, plural?”
They said development was already underway of new four-stroke engines. Hopefully that means one N/A version cranking out 180 hp! Can they pull off that 'new dimension of performance'?!

Nope it wasnt. It was all blue. Had prototype decals on it. Chris brown was there. There was also someone elses full mod, all blue white tunnel with a turbo and timbersled rear skid.
Stock had cat rear skid. A welded outer bar that looked extruded and centres were like the polaris pro boards.

HOPE springs eternal.
Yamaha has a few surprises in store for us.

Any idea how they pull that off? Are durability or power output sacrified in making them lighter?
That was robertson yamaha's viper with a cr tunnel extension, timber sled skid, and mcx turbo.
Christopher, your comments make me think you've signed a non-disclosure agreement so you can only drop hopeful one-liners. Did they actually suceed in co-opting you with advance knowledge of their testing and development?? Assimilated! No wonder you have avoided making any significant speculation on the upcoming technology.
Somebody else must have heard something about the new 4-stroke engine technology under development. Mountainhorse? Anyone?
