sledjunk Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 UTS Markham Mower can probably help you out. They are in Markham (duh) but they have places in Haliburton and in the Haliburton Forest where they can probably arrange test rides. Talk to Andy or Amanda and mention that I suggested you call. Great dealer and service. 905-294-2644 Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RXThunder Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 You should definatly phone Brian in Hensal. He let my wife try her new phazer before we bought it at the start of this season. His price was the best and Brian was awsome to deal with. I live three hours from him and he had the sled ready for me the night that I came eventhough I was not sure if the wife would like it. He even stayed late to close the deal when I got lost going there. Brian is your man. Brians Service Center 1 519 262 3634. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Phase Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 That Nytro is a sweet ride. I was able to put 900 kms on one last Fri/Sat/Sun and it is a blast to ride. I would go with an '09 Nytro XTX with the 144" track. I think that would be the one to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faceman Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 With an honest opinion... I love my Nitro but... It can scare you off the start. The limiter strap HAS to be adjusted in or you will just wheelie all day (not good coming out of corners) The engine braking is fantastic but does take some getting used to. It feels a bit top heavy but that's all it is, just a feeling , it handles great and enjoys being driven aggressively. The ski's suck, I switched to Woody's Duelies and they took away the darting issue but I still notice it with the rear end fishtailing a bit when I left off on the fun flipper. My last sled was an 04 Viper S and it cornered like a streetcar on rails (unfortunetely it rode like one too...only kidding) I've got just shy of 3000 km on it in all sorts of conditions and don't have a complaint. I might step to an 09 but if I don't I will change the ski's to probably Sly Dogs. It lake runs with the 600 SDI or HO( destroys them off the line), gets around the same mileage (18mpg) . Changed the hifax today and everything looked really good. If you like to motocross or ride that style this is the sled. I haven't tried the RTX and don't really know that I need a stiffer ride. (6' 210 lbs) Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmer8uno Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Bought my 2008 NYTRO Feb 16th drove the rap tour as the first ride. It is amazing I would to like to ride the 600 xp to see what its like. I hear the 800 xp is too much to trial ride (from a few people). The Nytro fits my riding style prefect as far as ski lift I just studded it last weekend and with that snow we had I never really got a chance to try it. Except for the left foot getting wet or whatever happens there(other riders have the same issue). It is simple the best sled I have driven. I have 1700kms so far on it and the mileage is getting better and better. Hope this helps...I actually bought it for the wife to drive when we go out and I drive the RX-1 (too heavy for her). I think I well have trouble going back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, in 97 when Yamaha started using the Pro-Action and plastic skis they made the skis front biased which results in a lot of darting. Try doing a search on Totallyamaha.com, that's where I found out about this, but I still haven't tried these shims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faceman Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Thanks. Yeap, read all that. Can even turn the existing rubber shims around and add quarter inch shim to rear and that will plant ski's better. Still..Yamaha does not do this sled justice with their ski's. I think even the Pilot or Precision would be a better match (although both have good and bad points).....endless discussion As I said, my only issue with the sled. OhBTW timmer8uno...wet foot problem is one I don't experience but others have solved very simply with two sided tape below clutches where plastic under carriage meets frame.

UsedtoSkidoo Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Trying to fing out relaibility issues on BRP 800R now................... Still very undecided! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbill Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Trying to fing out relaibility issues on BRP 800R now...................Still very undecided! I have a good friend that has one he has gone through several belts and now has a piston going down bought it new in January . He still loves it though as it handles and rides well . He is a meduim aggresive rider . His buddy rides an attack and despite his best efforts has not broken it .(he could break an anvil ) Have you given any thought to the E-TEC? or to the Jaguar I have some customers with the 08s no issues so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irREVerent Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Trying to fing out relaibility issues on BRP 800R now...................Still very undecided! UTS...for whatever its worth, two issues with the 800R in the XP that I am aware of (a friend has one): (1) clutch alignment (thus the blowing belts issue)...alignment is obviously fixable by the dealer, and apparently BRP has spec'd a different belt which works better; and, (2) driveshaft failures, which are addressed through replacement or welding to reinforce...worth asking the dealer if there is a service bulletin on that (probably should be a recall...) Also, if you haven't already done so, go to DooTalk and do a search on both issues...lots of info. there, as I recall. My buddy has had neither issue happen to him (touch wood), and he loves it. Personally, I prefer the 600 in the XP, because the sled is so light, it gives you lots of jam for trail riding, and the 600 is a lot smoother engine. The 800 really is superior for higher speed stuff. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Jaguar, its way too big and heavy for me. I need something light as I am a fairly aggressive rider (Or so I have been told )............Thanks for the info tho!
