Yamaha snow bike build

[0neoldfart]

OK, I know this isn't a Yeti build, but I'm just getting into the sport and wanted to try building a good snow bike on a reasonable budget. I started with a holdover 2017 Yamaha WR450 as I wanted a back up kickstarter, and the price difference didn't warrant the minimal changes from 2017 - 2018. The add ons are as follows:
- 2018 Camso DTS129 track kit
- Yamaha competition kit (includes ECU and throttle stops)
- Yamaha power tuner
- Cyra wrap around handguards
- FMF powercore muffler
- C3 thermostat kit (this is a really nice, well thought out part, cheaper then a thermobob)
- C3 snowbike intake kit (see above, super clean install, no hacking)
- Seat concepts "Tallboy" seat
- PST engine jacket
- RMR Suspension fork revalve and springs (I actually bought a used set of forks so I can go back and forth from snow to dirt)
- RSI heated grips
- Re purposed handle bar bag, tunnel bag, and tool kit - made my own mounts for the gas can
- AntiGravity 16 cell lithium battery (350 CCA)
- Acerbis plastics

That's it for now, can't wait to get it on the snow

Sorry to derail the thread one old, getting into it is a bit of an attitude adjust more than anything. Best advise I can give is ride with another bike. Where you can go and type of riding changes drastically with sleds vs bikes. If your wife can ride a bike I think she will enjoy it, way easier on the body. My wife attempts stuff she wouldn't even think of on a sled. But the trail sucks. Especially icy stuff. I'm going onto season 3 with a yammie 450fx and haven't used the kick start yet. Wider pegs and heated bars would be my first upgrade, which you have already dialed in. Enjoy the new adventure
