they may have less performance than the sled down the street but do you have to rebuild it after 2000 miles? so lets say for argument sake that you buy a new....cat m1000 it cost around what $12000? where as a nytro mtx is what? 14000? so you go out and pound the shat out of that m1000 for 2000 miles and have to pay for oil and rebuild after that. im not picking on cat and saying they only get 2000miles on a motor but you know what im saying. yamaha is not about having their motors run on the ragged edge they leave that up to us. they build a sled to last and that is worth the extra $$$$ to me anyways.
p.s. i hope they add an extra 50lbs to the sled!!
or if the motor hasnt failed yet all the rivets start getting loose from the 2 stroke vibration. the sled literally shakes itself apart in a few years i have owned many 2 strokes. that is one big plus of the 4 strokes lack of vibration the engine is so smooth. i have almost 4000 miles on my nytro mtx nothing but deep powder bashing i have absolutely run the piss out of this sled. it just keeps on running. It NEVER blubbers and gargles even when in ridiculously deep powder. it gets around awesome in the powder. I do Zero trail riding with this thing. all the 2 strokes i have owned in the past would be on their 2nd or 3rd motor by now riding it hard and the tunnell would be ready to fall off. people dont give these sleds a chance and learn how to ride it they just read on snowest how bad they are in the powder and believe it. I couldnt be happier with mine. and it feels good to not be throwing my money away on some new polaris experimental garbage sled lol

Yes, Polaris, Arctic Cat, Ski-doo sleds may blow a motor or wear it out, but at least people can afford to rebuild it. If you f***up a yamy motor and you might as well part out the sled. I've seen them all blow up doesn't matter what brand, They all have there ups and down.
They All Blow up? How many 4 stroke yamaha's have blown engines? You may be able to find enough stock blown up 4 strokes to count on 1 hand since 03.
From what I recall in 07 there were only 2 engines in yami's warranty system for major engine problems.
can't say that about the others.

only time yamaha 4 strokes blow up is when guys run them out of oil/starve for oil (owners fault) or put WAY too much boost to them (owners fault)

affordable?? LOL. A ski doo XP 800 crank is $1817 bucks. Cases are $834. Even the old junker polaris twin cranks are still $1100+
A crank for a yamaha nytro is $562

Word has it not to expect big changes for 2012
They could easily put a very good light weight reliable more powerful sled, but cost woud be factor for sure.

I've seen them so called junker Polaris twins make a stock Apex and nytro look like a Yamaha Bravo.

I wish Yamaha would get serious about weight loss, I'd buy one in a second. My WR450 is so good it's insane, never even burps, a few mods and it pulls your arms off, ride after ride and I ride alone a lot and never worry about it. Our 4 wheelers too, great machines. BUT when it comes to sledding, I'm just sold on lighweight. My XP is 425 lbs. and you can really feel it. I do nothing but boondock and find myself in tight stuff all the time and just can't fight a heavy sled. But a reliable long lasting 4 stroke would be a dream.
Hey! I'm back on topic. For 2012 Yamaha will again work on attack angle of the track as this does help it pop out of the snow and float better. They have some of the best engineers for building sleds. Maybe they will rework the plastic on the front of the nytro so instead of pilling snow at the front when you let off, it will glide over.They just need more bellypan. Imagine no snow pile-up by headlight and sled glides over snow with ease.
It would be wonderful if they had some big power so they can get on top of there game and give the other three manufactures something to work on . I'm not talking just a boosted sled from the factory but a something wild. Poeple talk yamy sleds are to heavy, well if it well balanced you don't notice the weight unless you got noting to do and you stand there and lift everyone front and rear of sled insted of riding.
Don't get me wrong Yamaha has great product. I have a few myself but we all know they have always been on top of there game, but hey! if sleds aren't there big money maker then they shouldn't wait so long to come out with something new and sales could go up and everyone would be happy.

well after looking at there new 4stroke outboards they did some impressive stuff with them droped 50lbs on the big v6s.they are now right there with the 2stroke etechs in weight some very cool stuff hope they bring some of it to the sleds.if they can get 50lbs off a boat motor imagine what they could do with a sled, although they are 25000$
Yup, I agree with the 08 to 10/11 comparison. While still a Nytro, they don't feel the same for sure. Yamaha, and the others, are all gonna be conservative for a while, you watch. But Yamaha will make adjustments that matter to a platform that is awesome. While not an owner yet, I've been way lucky to have test rides on 2008 turbo, 2010 stock, 2011 supercharged. I think the track angle changes are more substantial than most people credit!! And, the wider stance is confidence inspiring. The 2011 was wicked fun in all aspects and stuck to the ground, unlike the flighty 2008--(btw, ya gotta set up suspension is you're gonna have fun...don't soften too much and miss the initial stroke...do your homework on springs!!).
Every time I'm up in the hills, if the wrenches are out, the Yamahas riders are helping the other guys!!
2012--details boys, details...but in this economy, details for the dollars makes sense!
