got to ride Sidewinder over weekend
snow conditions poor
rode a stock one and a EVO reflash 240hp
I was very impressed, would agree with upper comments balanced well very smooth delivery of horespower would have to say best Stock chassis Yamaha I have ridden been riding them since 06 ( Apex, Nytro, Viper all boosted ) wish snow would have been deep but it was easy to handle even in the poor icy rained on conditions
Stock Sidewinder is deceiving delivers power curve so smooth and so quit. Sold my Vipers and Nytro last fall and now riding 17 Axys with MTNTK turbo at 10lbs boost and I would say the stock Sidewinder would hang right with it the EVO relash league of its own it was impressive
