i think you need to take a nap.....
I'm good!! BJ needs to wake up and smell reality. Is he another one of your good buddies PUD??
i just read through this whole thread and it just makes me laugh. ok, a sled made 427hp. i think everyone understands that this is a strictly "strip" sled. I dont say i have a 4 second dragster that i am going to drive on the street. come on people, yami and doo. Doo just jumped into the 4s world and it will take awhile to get everything worked out. Everyone has their problems. was Yami king of the mountain the same year their 4s came out? and why are yami guys so upset anyway? don't we all ride for the same reason....TO HAVE FUN!?!?! my mom has fun on her 500 short track. anything wrong with that? lol
can't we all just get along.

I agree but I read the whole thread and out of all the posts I don't see a lot of Yami guys upset or threatened... most are welcoming the Doo and questioning the reliability of the chassis and stock internals at that level of power which is a reasonable concern.
i guess i can't even tell who rides what by some of these posts!!! haha the biggest arguement in this thread seems to be apex vs nytro. LOL
BJ got his moneys worth in this thread....
But, Even with ZERO miles on the snow, people are comparing them to the Nytros we KNOW work, and have seen on the top of every hill all season...
I'll be looking forward to see how the XP turbo compares, but if the driveline and chassie is the same as the 2-stroke, I think people will need ALOT more extra parts than just the clutching we need on our beloved yammies...
Welcome competition, can only make us better (faster)

Skidoo didn't just get into the 4s world. They been building them for a while now and for just about everything. They didn't just stuff a motor from a bike into a sled they designed it for a sled. As far a reliability, skidoo wouldn't be number 1 with junk. They all have problems and BRPs percentage is small.
If it wasn't for Turbos Yamaha wouldve went bellyup in the snowmobiles.

To be honest i think the yamaha riders are trying to defend there sled because there getting scared of a new sled that could be dominant in the mountains with a turbo.... but imo i dont like that 1200 4 stroke and i have litttle to no interest in ever owning one especially when it comes with a short track then you have to put that money into extending it... but hey i think this is a good thing for yamaha skidoo is going for a lite weight 4 stroke maybe yamaha will catch on and discover some aluminum here and there...

I KNOW I AM, I can't even handle what I have
What is your problem???
I have done NOTHING but post what the new kid on the block did...
I didnt make ANY claims about what will happen on the hill...
I am having a little fun (mentioned this about 6-7 times now)...
I know its in the Yamaha section...but since theres 7000 hits in a couple weeks...summer is slow...and I thought we could have some fun..
I guess theres always a couple apples that spoil the bunch...
9/10 guys on here are having some fun....1/10 need to either graduate from high school or ???-BJ
whoa
Man, some people get the panties in a bunch quick around here!
This begs the question - how much power do we really need? Stage 1 MCX/Boondocker/Alpine/etc. Apex's and Nytro's go up powder hills at 60 mph with their hair on fire. I'm a horsepower junkie of the sickest degree, but even I wonder how much more we need? Unless you're among the Randy Swenson's of the world, a 300hp or 400hp or 427hp sled will all make the average guy fill his pants with up to 3 different substances simultaneously!
Until we find bigger mountains to climb, I submit that we have enough horsepressure to get the job done today.
I worry about the novice (empty head, fat wallet type) on one of these monsters. They'll take him into places he never should go....
There's my 0.02,for what it's worth...

how many of the 300+hp sled are actually going up the mountain tho and/or in any technical area?

Now that funny chit right there. You think maybe Depends will start sponsoring some riders?
the way to much horsepower is definately becoming something i see as a problem in the sport. anyone with money to burn can be flying around on a 20k machine going up things guys who have riden there whole life and are the only ones who should be attempting such feats. watched a guy go up a hill on a apex running 310, talking to his riding buddies who all were one modded out ski-doos worth maybe half of what the apex was, and they all admitted, it was i think his second year on a sled, he just had fat pockets.
highmarking is all about $$ riding skill is about time.
anything over 250 and its really just for bragging rights, it will rarelly ever see a need for that power in its entirety. it was cool and inovative when people first started making huge power out of these sleds, now its more like an ego battle.

Stock Apex vs Stock Doo4S?? Since that's what 95% of them will be....any takers?
