Who wants to try this turbo Viper this year??

[Ride Whistler]

We will have some turbo Vipers in the fleet this year set up similar to this one that Cody Robertson built.

Ours will have the Chris Brown Skinz 36" front ends, Airframe running boards, seats and bumpers. Timbersled Mt. Tamer skids with Fox and Ice Age Rails. CR Racing tunnel extensions. FLY Bars. The new Slydog skis. And more...

I will be riding with you in February. Are you going to have them at your clinic in Mcbride? I would love to try one out.

 

[Ride Whistler]

I will have them with me in McBride and Golden as well as my Lodge in Whistler!

Looked at that machine for a few minutes and chatted with randy about it. Looked real nice. Definately needed intake outside the plastic. Wouldnt mind throwing a leg over one this year

Why would it need the intake outside the plastics? The Viper hoods and side panels have more venting than any sled out there. If it sticks out of the plastics then it would always be covered with snow in the deep stuff.
the Boondocker Apexes were horrible for covering the filter, and this intake would have to be in a similar spot.
we ran our Viper with the intake under the hood and it worked awesome.

My own bad assumptions...saw the machine in a semi naked state and the filter was tucked up against the side panel. Assumed it was covered over sucking in underhood air. Not many machines have much space for cool air anymore. If it has a nice cold air path and you can keep it underhood away from branches and protected from rollovers bonus.

I'm curious for sure, whats that thing weigh?

MSO is 502........not bad for a 4 stroke. Hood and battery kill the platform. There is easily 25lbs to be had in those 2 items alone. I can see a 475 lb 4 Stroke in someone's arsenal soon CheersRS

Dry....maybe.....

Hmmm I wonder if you turbo it and strip a little weight I'd be curious for sure! Could turn out to less than 475 which would be awesome!

I have owned and rode all of the big manufacturers mountain sleds except Yamaha. I ride Cat right now because my dealer is awesome, is the only dealer in town and Cat is a pretty decent mountain sled. I've never considered a Yamaha because of the weight. I've spent the last 25 years and thousands of dollars lightening my mountain sleds, but if my dealer closed his doors tomorrow this sled would be at the top of my list to replace my Cats. I really like the looks of it, I love the reliability that Yamaha engines get even with boost on them and they are finally getting their weight down into something realistic.

 

[deaner]

I cant believe they didnt market the wieght on this thing harder at snowcheck time if they really are at the 500 mark with some easy wieght to be lost. I would have seriously considered one. I just figured they were the same cat chassis that are known for being freakin heavy so they would be similar. Where is the weight difference between the two?

 

[rightsideup]

I could be wrong but the Yamaha engine is lighter than the cat 4 stroke

 

[bigfish]

yamaha engine is about 25lb lighter
