17,000kms on my 17’ and 11,000kms on my 19’ and no failures with some regular maintenance and a few aftermarket parts!

Kind of a known issue rumor has it. The guy who had his track fall off seemed to think he was not the only one. I know next to nothing about sidewinders however.

I believe the rear suspension components are the same as the cats. I haven't heard of this issue before on cats. The tensioner is a simple design, and I can't see how they could fail without user error.

He blamed the dealer. he only had it that day it also was a used machine 2 yrs old possibly

 

[treker]

As I recall, a certain company in the '80's, yearly claimed being "sold out", even with snow machines sitting on the dealers show room floor
At the risk of being incorrect, A dealer informed me to be a dealer of their products back then was very specific, dealers had to take ownership.
Further, if you already sold other product lines, you take on theirs, but if you were already selling theirs you could not sell the competition.

Hence it all depends who is claiming "sold out"........................is it the manufacturing company or the dealers?

 

[MX-Z Man]

I don't know why you get so worked up about it. Yamaha sold out. If you want to qualify it to make yourself feel better, go for it. I'm not sure what "hole" you think that I'm digging. Everything I've stated has been facts. I'm glad Yamaha is still selling snowmobiles. They sold every srx they can BUY from Arctic Cat. Yamaha must be happy with that otherwise they wouldn't do it. It's great for everyone.

Is it not true that the 24 ski doos are practically the same colors as last year? Yamaha has had cool retro graphics the past few years?

Fixed it for you.

You must like black puppies. 🤣

I do really wish Yammi would get back in the game. It's sad what they've become. I'm old enough to remember when Yammi was #1 - that ship sure has sailed.

What's your point?

 

[MX-Z Man]

There is no way Yammi told Arctic Cat "I know we can sell 30,000 sleds, we literally have people lined up wanting them, but that'd make us too much money, so please, only sell us 6,000 machines". They're not taking 30,000 sleds because (1) Cat can't supply that many, and more so, (2) they simply can't sell that many.

Yammi is at Cats mercy, and that's not a good place to be.

They do have sweet graphics though. 👍

You seem to be the only one worried about how many units they can make and sell. I'm just happy they are still selling. Would it be better for everyone if there was only one brand to choose from? I think not.

Now that's scary. If BRP had a monopoly their snowmobiles would cost $50,000 and still sell out in 1 hr.
I thought really hard about getting a Sidewinder, but they never fixed any of the problems.
The driveshaft, chain case, tunnels falling apart, having to remove the turbo to adjust the chain, primary clutch rattle etc.....
Mike Knapp could start a full time business fixing all the problems for people. ,😅👀

I'm pretty sure it was you bragging about them "selling out" and they had people lined up wanting to buy them.

As I said before, I REALLY wish they'd get back in the game, as Yamaha, not just a relabeled Cat.

 

[Harry Comes]

It wasn't bragging. There were comments about how bad of a sled they were, re badged cat, etc. I was just pointing out that someone must like them if they sell everyone they make. (No matter thr quantity) They might not be your cup of tea, and I agree that it's probably not for where you ride. A 600 is plenty for tug hill. But there are riding areas where the srx/tcat shine. If cat sold Thundercats to doo along with zr120s and 200s, there would be people on here bragging on how great they were with ski doo stickers.

 

[taylorj]

I know a fella lucky enough to get a 24 SRX. Looking forward to checking it out. I love the retro graphics.

Providing it comes in on time. There are still folks waiting for their 2023 SRX.

I remember when Ski-doo was #4 when Yamaha was #1.

 

[Snowgames]

I ride with two guys who run relatively new stock SRX’s. I will definitely be considering one myself if BRP repeats the Mach Z debacle with the 850 trail turbo. If the stock SRX’s still have bragging rights with an 850 trail turbo in the mix I may make the move.

 

[taylorj]

Better put in for your 25 SRX now. I have a 850T coming myself. And a really good running Mach. I think the Doos and Boost will pull out on the SRX but if you run 1500-2000+ feet the SRX is a comin!

 

[one ton fun]

Those SRX sleds have long legs with the 1” track. Going up 1 tooth on the top gear and adding a stock muffler tune will damn near get you 130gps on a hard packed groomed trail.

I also have a good running Mach. Looks like the two of us will be running the same lineup next season. Until I experience otherwise I’m going with the 850T worst case making things interesting with the SRX’s. Unfortunately I know what you are saying though…

I hope it works well. I think the only limiting factor will be the ride height. All the vids I see it doesn't look like it sqauts much on the rear. As expected though being the competition package.

Im glad harry comes didnt go after me for my comments... Be careful MXZ MAN!
