Sidewinder...?

Isn't that the rope you wrap around the pulley when the e-start battery dies or the pull rope breaks?

Just says most powerfully production sled ever built so 180 or more.
Is that "they ever built or ever built"?
Yamaha needs to get numbers over the 200 as a high powered mountain sled. They have been building 200hp++ capable sleds for years with virtually zero issues.
At a lowly 180, by the time your factor in the power to weight ratio you just as well ride one of them other things cause they are knocking at the 180hp door...for 2017.

If not, i wonder if a 250+ kit will be available?

Website is down. I had big hopes but it's still a cat chassis, with a cat track, a motor they have had for like a decade. They added a turbo and made it narrower. It does look damn narrow though, I'd try one out.
