Should I jump to a nytro or stay w/old trusty?

[thebirdman]

Hey guys, first off I have a 06 700 144 track with alot of the mods/updates that you have all recommended to me. It has been a Great sled with all of your help and no problems to speak of! My dealer has a new nytro with the 180 supercharger for a very good price and it has me thinking. Have any of you been around or rode one of these sleds? I am just wondering how it compares to my 755? My 755 is no light weight super model by any means but I can throw it around pretty decent. Will this nytro feel heavier??? I like the idea of the 4-stroke and its realiability but don't want to be stuck all the time and wishing I had hung onto my good old 755?

I rode one without a Turbo or supercharger and I liked it. The other big advantage is it gets way better gas mileage. I was actually going to get one myself as a second sled.

If it was stock they are reliable but when you add a supercharger it can change everything and you will definatly lose reliablity. one of my buds had a blown one and it flies but its so unreliable now and he is always taking it back to the shop now and wishes he left it stock.

The Yamaha Nytro is now being offered with an OEM Warrenty from Yamaha on the Supercharger.

Reliability issues should be non existent.

I got to ride both the OEM and the Stage 1 supercharged Nytros 2 weeks ago.

I was SOLD and am upgrading my nytro this summer!!

If your interested , take a read.

most dependable big powe reliable sled on the market! bar none!!! If ur looking for big horsepower with a turbo thats the right move! dont go crazy though buy the turbo for the power u want to try to make more power out of what turbo u have thats when u have issues i have some buds that run these turboed 4 strokes and the hall a$$ and have over 6000 miles on them and only changin oil and regular maintenace if i could afford one i would do it in a heart beat u know the sayiing once u have boost ull never look back good luck with your decision a slighty boosted 4 stroke is probably more reliable than a piped two stroke ive seen this first hand bro good luck!

I rode one last season that had a turbo running 12 lbs if I remember right and it did clearly have more power, but that thing was such a tank, my 900 felt like a 440 in the weight department when I got back on it. I would say that you should definitely spend a full day on 1 before you make a decision.

absolutely ride one for a day first!!! there are 4 nytros in my group so ive logged some miles on a few nytros! they are a nice, well built machine! but they are very heavy, very top heavy, they soak up the rough stuff nicely, tend to lift the inside ski alot when cornering hard, hp increasing mods are very expensive (we figured it costs an average of about $1000 per additional 10hp on the 4 strokes), repairs are more costly, but then again repairs should be minimal, they make real nice bottom end power but kinda lack in the top end department , they are an entirely different animal from what you are used to, definetily ride it first! but all that is just my oppinion!

btw all my testimony is based on trail riding and ditch banging, never rode one in the mntns!

Thanks guys for all your opinions and insight! I might just have to keep the polaris since I have such a blast on it! If any others of you have input please post it up. I will let ya all know what I end up doing!

If possible ride it for a day and take your sled along, a direct comparison will let you know how to decide.
Some things may not be as easy as thought on it!! Regardless of price.
