Pretty impressed, fit and finish is everything you would expect and more from Yamaha!

MCX will have power up kits in the 230 (stg 1) and 280 (stg 2) range. More info in about 3 weeks.

How does Yamaha using cat products able to have good fit and finish when cats fit and finish suck?

Does anyone know for sure what the difference in weight between this and the new Polaris or Doo ? Ride ready, full of all fuels and oils.

I wonder what they are doing to fuel this system? All through stock injectors? Or is there a set of secondary injectors like we are used too?

MCX will have power up kit... I'm certain it will come with a new straight pipe/muffler which I'm told alone really wakes it up!!

Been riding a pro and now a doo. Sure miss the boosted yammie.....wonder how the sidewinder will feel compared to the tapex....Weight and handling.....guess I'll have to track down one this winter for a ride.


Nice work on the exhaust
