[catman1]

Would of rocked if it had a turbo

Only available in e start.

Lol this is just the start, Cat eventually will be blue

 

[maxwell]

Only available in e start.

Ya I don’t know why they did that

 

[Summitric]

On other sites, it is rumoured of textron selling off the sled division... Could be true blue soon

 

[Lunch_Box]

Wouldn't that be just like the old sidewinder?
Congrats Yamaha for doing practically nothing... not even their own 2 stroke.... I bet they will be a couple of thousand dollars more than cat.

Alpha rail on the Sidewinder from factory would have been nice. The few people that have done it seem to say its amazing.

Not even a mtx winder anymore.

 

[towerrigger]

Yep, but the mapping is yamaha version which I found interesting.

Likely why they are offering the 3yr warranty. Yamaha probably wasn't comfortable offering 3 years with Cats fuel mapping.

Like someone copy that dam shot start already

I feel there is much more to this. Yes it’s a blue arctic cat with better warranty and a free cover. I feel the production sleds will have many slight differences by the time they come to the consumer next year. Perhaps the air box will be fixed? Will yamaha fix the exploding clutch issue? What are they working on behind the scenes for 2022? Will the Yamaha engineers be behind the turbo that we know exists for this motor? I feel big things are coming! This is something to be excited about.

Not in North America, Europe still got them last year.

I feel something is going on also. I just don’t know what it is though. Yamaha is known for quality so anything Yamaha does should be good for the sledding community.

i dont think the Ctec or Polaris 850 have the capability. Engine needs to be able to start in 1/4 rotation. need some pretty precise direct injection for that. Both those engines still are 2 pull machines lots of the time.

The ability to start in 1/4 rotation isn't a true requirement of the implementation. There's no limitation on that. Even if the motor had to turn 2 full turns to fire itself up, as long as the energy storage system and electric motor system are capable of 2 turns the concept would work.

I feel it’s just another bandaid.

Since we are talking about feelings.

I think Textron will be selling the Arctic Cat snowmobile Division to Yamaha. This is just the beginning

I think you are very wrong on this. Can’t see that ever happening

Exactly, Yamaha hammer isn’t into buying into a failing market I don’t believe.

well the current capacitor can only deliver one small jolt, but ya if you used a battery or much larger capacitor i guess anythings possible. sort of defeats the purpose once the weight starts getting added back on though

What I can see happening is Cat getting the Yamaha engineers to work with the fuel management software to develop a bullet proof seamless map for the turbo system that was supposed to be released this year. Let’s not forget this is the same system/electronics on the ctech motor that yamaha developed with Mitsubishi for the sidewinder. Nobody knows this system better then yamaha, and sounds like they have already tweaked the map for the better on the yammy version.
