SnoWest March 2015: "A New Generation of Yamaha Mountain Sleds is here"
- Thread starter christopher

You already have a Viper mountain sled? I've said it over and over, I think the Viper is a great step for Yamaha but it is not a direct replacement for an 800cc two stroke mountain sled. Yammi guys are loyal, I grew up on them. But right now I can only buy one mountain sled and the Viper is not the one all around sled. I hope to get some time riding the factory turbo and maybe I'll feel different.

I converted a 2014 XTX Viper into an MTX. And yes if you have not rode a 4 stroke before the feel might not be too your likeing.

That over whieght under powered feeling is pretty hard to get used to.

Very obvious you have not rode a properly clutched Viper, might want to try one, or of course just bash away without any idea on snowest huh?

OK!
I am on snowest so what I say has to be true right?
SO...... our kiddie Ski Doo 120 is the lightest sled on the hill so it is superior to your Polaris Pro as it is lighter. You Pro guys say power and traction does not matter only weight so the kiddie Ski Doo 120 is better than your pro!
Wow, I didn't know the Polaris logic was this easy!

I better get my skidoo 120 snowcheck deposit in before they sell out the production run. I'll have to get a new wrap and flat bill though...OK!

it should be deep mountain challenge for all Mountain sleds, all mountain sled qualify for the challenge and we get the feedback. maybe the 600 is a better mountain sled then the 800.
Perhaps have a boosted mountain sled challenge, 600 turbo'd? how would it do?

OK you Polaris Pro guys I am ready to have that weigh in contest! Remember power and traction do not matter its just weight and Sidehilling!
This is what happens to a nose heavy Cat 800 Proclimb coming downhill through the trees. The YammiCat carries another 30 lbs over this sled. I helped dig this sled out several times because it tried to follow the Polaris in the trees. You guys have a looooooong way to go to convince me a Viper could hang with a PRO.
I love seing the progress. I would like to demo a T-Viper but I suspect it could never replace the lightweight tree buggy I have come to cherish this season.

Just so ya know, the stock skis are horrible and the powder pros aren't much better. Hate to admit this but the skis off your Poo work the best on the M8. Mine no longer does that diving since I pitched the stock and then the powder pros and put Poo grippers on my M8. Girlfriends Viper now has Camoplast All Terrain (look like poo grippers) and hers does not dive any more either.

You dont' think rider ability would have something to do with the dude having issues? Dont' get me wrong, i wave the white flag and yammi is the heaviest sled out there, but because a few guys have an issue hanging in a pro's or xm's lines on a cat means the yammi is a pos because it's even heavier yet then the cat?
your logic is truly undeniable!

Are you so grumpy because you bought a Viper and realized its 100 plus pounds heavier and has less HP? Now you are trying to drag everybody down with you? I get it you like your Viper and that's great! I am happy for you but let's not confuse facts it's till heavier and it's still under powered. Until I can walk into my local Yamaha dealer and buy a viper or what ever for the same price as a Polaris skidoo arctic cat etc and not have to bolt on a turbo and it be the same HP and whieght your argument is null and void.

LOL! The Poo guys are worried and I see why. I am not grumpy I find it amusing so many Poo riders are bashing out of fear thier sleds are not king of the hill any more.

Lol! You are truly delusional if you think a 4 year old chassis mated with a 6 year old motor is suddenly "king of the hill". lol
Anyways back to topic. Why isn't this sled in the shoot out stock vs stock? Like I said above if the riding weight is close to the same as the Poo and Doo and the stock Hp isn't that far off from the Poo why not throw it in there? And for the factory authorized turbo guys it can be run against the 1100t stock turbo vs stock turbo class.
