Getting used to a Nytro

[MotoPsycho]

Here are a couple of vids of Nytro handling... Pay close attention towards the end of the first vid... it IS hard to tip over if you ride it right...

The second one is a tried and true cat guy. He only has about 30 minutes total on the Nytro (I really hate to get off and share!)

Contrary to what seems to be popular I would recommend NOT putting a tall bar riser on. It only makes the top heavy nature of the machine worse. If you can stand on the machine with your knees locked and your arms are still bent, it's too tall. Like a dirt bike you need to ride with an "attack" posture.

Get a steering post relocation kit.

Bingo....and Nytros don't need much leverage or yanking, a little body english and counter steering goes a long way.

Mine took a little to get use to, but I honestly can't wait to get back on it after riding other sleds. One of best chassis' out there.

I spent maybe 10 or 15 mins on DrinkWYO's Nytro last winter and I love that chassis. Coming off a Rev with a wide front end, it's strikingly similar, yet different. Body english is the best way to describe how to ride it.

Here is a video of my second ride on my MTX last year(fall '07). I found it handled great, but most of the riders who come off of Revs seem to find the transition easier I think.

Nytro

I've had and RX1, several Apexs, i now have a Nytro and a XP. Three of my riding buddies have Artic Cats. The Artic cat guys hate my XP but one of them loves horsing around on the Nytro in deep snow.

I have put on about 10,000 km on the Yamaha products and my opinion is that you have to be fairly agressive with them, they roll over on there side very easy and you have to get used to this. I find that the Nytro will turn on a dime and throw you off or over the handle bars it turns so easy.

Having time on all except Polaris it is my opinion that the Ski Doo is the most stable (if I can us this term) then the Artic Cat and then there's the roll over Yamaha.

The Yamahas are more top heavy and when they decide to go over the higher weight is working with or against you. Again my opinion is that the Nytro will turn in powder very easy with foot pressure and definetly by counter steering, it will roll right on it's side. Because of the extra weight and the ease that they roll over you have to be thinking ahead and ride aggresive.

Good luck.

I'm callin' Bravo Sierra (B.S.) on ya Nik! There's no way that was a second ever ride on a Nytro, unless the first ride was 40 hours long, or you had NEVER been on another sled, and had spent your entire life on bikes....

You can check my TY "second ride report", that is where the video is from(page 1). It was indeed the second ride ever on the sled. The guy filming had a Rev at the time and even his first time on it he was carving it up good. I love the Nytro because it requires very little effort to actually ride it, which is good because you need when you're stuck, lol.

Edit: I only had 80 miles on the sled by the end of that day, started out with around 35 on the odo.

Alright Nik, fair enough!

They sure are fun, aren't they?
