Domino Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I like this model, although I find the site confusing, the model # impossible to remember and the promos illegible. Yamaha could probably sell more sleds if they just made their site and models easier to navigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLNYTRO Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 A lightweight Apex . Now that is funny! Have you ever lifted an Apex engine on its own . I know that I cannot I have tried and it's quite the feat. One can always dream can't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 WTF is a GYPA Bonus and how the hell is anyone suppose to know what that means? And If I'm looking at a 2016 SRViper S-TX 137 DX, where is that on the promo? You can't build a website and not explain what anything means. I assume the Yamabots all know what it means as you've learned over time. Kinda like Kindergarten. I don't even understand what the MPI Turbo Deal is. Does that mean I have the privilege to buy it for $3000? Or is it included with a value of $3000? What is an OGIO Bag, or a SHAD Bag? So, my MO is that once I am Totally confused by a merchant website, I leave and move on. Some of the prices make BRP look affordable. I'm shocked, I didn't know Yamaha's archaic designs sold for more than a Skidoo. Maybe more is included, I can't tell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Doo Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I think just suck it up, and go buy a 1200 like I did! HEHE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledjunk Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Doesn't look like I will have to. New engine control, new skid, performance dampers. I'm happy. I'll have to try OF7's new Apex next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hearing yamaha is adding a winch on every machine for when you get the 800 lb machine stuck. You're right, it took 3 guys to get this thing out of the ditch so I could continue towing the Doo (see the rope?) LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Something about constantly replacing exhaust donuts I believe. I haven't replaced any in 13,000 KM's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Dog Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I haven't replaced any in 13,000 KM's Factory donuts were a graphite material that did not last long. You can get copper replacements that last for years so they aren't really a concern but sometimes the pipes crack. I've used saddle bags and don't really have any issues with the rear exhaust other than it pointing directly at you if you have to lift the back of the sled while it's running.

Canuck Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Still made in Japan! In the last 6 months, the Yen has outperformed the loonie by 0.4% (roughly unchanged); Over the same time period, the loonie has dropped significantly against the U.S. $ Bad for Canadians buying U.S. made Arctic Cats or Polaris. Better for Canadians purchasing Japanese-made Yamahas, in theory. The jury's out on BRP and it's pricing structure. They never played fair when the dollar was at par; let's see what happens under the new exchange rates. Let's hope Yamaha Canada factors the Yen/$CAN rates into Canadian pricing, and not by setting a U.S retail price and then tacking on the cross-border exchange rate. _____ As for rear exhaust - prefer it. Never had an issue with saddlebags, but have witnessed trailside burning of luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCC Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Have over 17,000 km on my 2011 apex xtx, best sled I ever bought! Did the donuts & drive shaft bearing at 13,000 km, only so I would not have any issues during the season. I was glad to see the vector go to 146" inch, so I planning on spring order a new vector xtx (1.25 track). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
