Would you rent a Nitro?

Would you rent a Nytro?

I am thinking of adding a couple of Nytro’s to my sled collection. Do you guys think this would be a trouble free sled to rent out? I have no Yamaha’s yet but have heard good reports on them. Are there any issues with a stock Nitro? Might put a turbo on one of them and run low boost...for renting. I’ve rode a couple of them on boost and liked them a lot but have heard the stock ones are quite underpowered.

There are 2 guys in Revy who rent them and one in Calgary. All stock and the customers love coming home not smelling like a chainsawwww.
Go for it.
Actually I would consider renting a boosted one with low boost to experienced riders. You would need to charge a premium though. But you would probably get some business.

I rented a nytro in the snowies last year and it seemed way underpowered for any sort of hill climbing even small hills. It was decent on the trails and offtrail riding. So a boosted Nytro rental with some extra power would be nice but could also end up getting some into trouble

do it

There is a rental shop in town (800's and apex's go for around 200-240/day) here and he says the biggest problem with renting yamaha sleds is the wear on the sliders they eat sliders that was the only bad thing. As for a boosted nytro to rent where, when and how much !!!! i know lots of guys who love to try a boosted sled.

You got me thinking “boost”. Definitely for the experienced rider. There probably would be the odd guy get in trouble but that’s the risk with any sled. I could put a “no climbing or tree riding” sticker on the hood! Lol.
I wonder why the sliders are wearing out on them any worse than other sleds.

i would have loved to rent a boosted sled before i bought mine . As for wearing sliders just order a set of rails that use Doo or polaris sliders they'll pay for them selfs in a few low snow rides , or you could run scratchers although its probley not the best idea on rentals lol .

Same reason the tires on rental cars don't last as long as privately owned cars.

Make sure there clutched right,, and make sure the skis are set up so that the dartiness is minimal.. Oh and make sure they have a good shovel cause if there in the deep stuff they'll need it..

With a turbo on, the track is the snow shovel, LOL

Actually the Yamaha 4 strokes are just more prone to wearing sliders due to weight, track tightness, and suspension design.

I was thinking the same thing, 12#'s boost pump premo or av gas. Would be good for yami business. All i need is two Nytros sponsored by Yamaha? I would accept parts donations from aftermarket companies wanting to showcase their products. 25% would be donated to charity, to the IMSICK Foundation !! lol

Go To the Graphite Yamaha sliders -- they cost a couple bucks more than stock and last almost for ever . Done
It is no big deal. just do it and forget about it.
And break the sliders in after install.
