What parts were changed on the handwarmers for 2010, so I can change them on my 09 XTX. I really think they should do something for the 09's, since I had to suffer since 06 on my Apex. <em>It is not a feasible modification as it requires a new igniter /E controller which is big $$$. The device which is available aftermarket on <a href="http://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php?t=67236" rel="nofollow">Totallyamaha</a> from Rockmeister appears to do a very good job of redirecting current at lower RPM for those that require more output. And the cost is quite reasonable compared to the factory options. I understand your thoughts on the issue but I can't comment beyond acknowledgment and saying we have explored the subject at length within service and engineering, sorry SF, best I can offer, Cheers cr</em> No, not the skid… What parts were changed on the handwarmers for 2010, so I can change them on my 09 XTX.

We sure know that will happen. Thanks.. <em>Hey SF, not sure what you are asking me here... what change or parts are you referring to?? The mono 2?? cheers cr</em> Chris, Can we at least find out what the changes/parts are, so we can see if the upgrade is worth it or we may be able to buy the parts off a recked sled.

In another post I mention I sold my Apex. Well I'm back and on a Nytro XTX for next season. I always wanted to try a cross over sled. We'll see how I like it.. Later, Andy <em>super... keep me posted on how you like the XTX, I think I'm going to run the new Vector next year myself... cheers cr</em> Hey Chris, Good Job on the sight..

I suspect both…..his handling looked a little rough in the first few events..but he sure flows well today. He is not making it easy to get a handle on FI…it’s not a fair comparison with him riding. The grunt available to other engines is astounding with FI. At this time I could go either way….but I still think the carb..like James runs… is faster. But…its James…it’s not really fair?

Crazy! Didn't seem like that much time has gone by. Keep up the good work. Now that Ski-doo has reinvented their Tundra, do you think Yamaha will come out with a small, Ultramatic equipped, 4- stroke work sled? <em>Hmmmm, sure leaves a big hole in the market for a single n'est pas? ;-) cr</em> Going on to year three?
