who has come over to yammy and regretted it?

I loved the power of my Nytro and it did throw ok but it realy depends on your ridding style I would never go back unless they loose allot more weight if I ever need more hp yet I will go with a M1000 and boost it.

Everyone has there own thing and ridding style and also it depends on the group you are with as well. I do notice the 4stroke market used to hold very well as when I sold my Nytro but now it is realy soft as well.

I came from a big tripple with NOS in a custom chassis. My apex handles far better than my tripple. Cost is close to the same so far, as for the total build. I have more in fuel cost right now, but that could be the market and me wanting big boost. Race gas is really pricy these days. But still, I dont think I would go back.

But I would say this, If, I mean IF one decided to build one of these things, PICK YOUR BUILDER WISELY. You can get screwed over really fast. 4-strokes do brake, and when they do, its not the $10-20.00 or even 50.00 dollar repairs. Just brake open the big piggy bank and by some lube, cause its going to sting.

I have had both. If you can swing it buy a XP, M8 or Dragon 800 and plan on riding it 70-80% of the time and then buy a Turbo Apex, Nytro or XR1200 and plan on riding it 20% of the time. Day in and day out you cannot beat the stock 800's. The only time i would ride a 4 stroke as my everyday sled would be if I lived and rode Revelstoke, Pembeton or similiar areas.

As a side note. All those guys that are converting from four stroke turbos to two stroke turbos will be back on four stroke's within a year or two at most. Trust me, we have already seen it happen. Two strokes turbos are too inconsistent when making the power that you are used to on your four stroke.

I wonder if you post this thread in the General section, instead of the Yamaha section, would you see different results?

I have a turbo m8 (that is great) my buddy rides a propane nytro.I spent some time on that sled that's a different animal at 20psi. So I picked up a apex this spring and am putting propane on it my brother is buying my cat. So its the best of both worlds when I want to cruise the kitty he can ride the apex.also I rode my m8 at 13psi all year no problems they are more reliable than people give them credit for.
PS I came to yammi and love it.

THIS GUY NAILED IT 4 ME I have had apex and nytro I now have a 600 rmk and boosted nytro the Apex a 40 k apex and it was no fun in hard pack I dont care what they say its heavy in the light powder it was a dream and if your under 6ft tall the sled was to wide for me and beat on my knees hard

I've ridden many boosted RX1s, Apexs and Nytros and would have to say that they are best suited to wide open terrain, although they will go through the trees just fine, you will be tired compared to a guy on an RMK800 or an XP at the end of the day. They are very reliable sleds if setup by the right people, so much so that they are a gas and go machine, no need to carry tools (friends turbo Nytro has never missed a beat). I've jumped ship and went ahead on bought a turbo Nytro last Saturday (used to ride an XP)
