Am i reading that right ???? 146-147hp???....I wouldnt think thats not impressive compared to the new 800HO cat runs....They said 170hp should be obtainable....thats not all that much hp for a new tuned and tweaked 800?? Is it?
since '08 I've seen a lot more polaris sleds with fried top ends than I have 'doos with burnt crank bearings.polaris is farther ahead then doo cause doo is still running the sealed greased bearing that when it gets hot the grease melts out then burns out the bearing
I think im the First Yammi to post here so i guess i cant much talk. All i have to say is all sleds are great...... Cept ski doo...... Hahaha sorry just had too
Yah well considering you run Yamahahahahah. Your opinion means nothing. Should have called them Yapiha cause all you guys riding them Yap alot. POS without a turbo. Stock machines to stock the Yammi will get killed every time against stock Doo or Scat.:d Get that into ya:d
the only thing a stock yammi will run comparably against is a stock yammi. put the same money into any machine and they will all run pretty close imo. all the new ones are nice and have some pretty nice features. all the difference is that i can see is personel preferance to riding style,position and how you feel on the machine. power and weight are all fairley close nowadays. except for yammys they got about +100 lbs on everybody and the same power. my son asked why yammis have such wide skis on the front at the sled show. i told him they need it to keep them above the snow cause they areso damn heavy.
So like I said stock Yami and stock DOO and a stock Cat the race will be between the Doo and the cat the extra 100 lbs puts Yami last place every time. The only way they can hang with Doos and cats is by adding a turbo. Thats an extra 5 to 10 k to play the same way. You can have the heavy POS wait to see how bad the etech turbo kills them.:d
I'll jump on the Yamaha bashing. I was in a Yamaha dealer last night buying some C12 for my sled, I stopped to have a quick look at at Nitro with a 180HP turbo. They were asking $17500 for it. As I'm standing there thinking about the ~$17000 (some maintenance, some mods) into my XP and if these two sleds were to go head to head mine would likely smoke this Nitro!
Don't get me wrong I'm sure the Yamahas are strong and with low boost like that they should run forever but the cost of ownership to have a comparable sled to another stock sled is very high!
