To all folks looking for translation, the google tool bar (for IE) has a translate tab included. I use it for the japanese sites to glean info on sno-x japan. Just tried in on passion-yamaha and it works well there too.

thanks for the tip 7S, I’ll give it a try

Chris,

Any feedback on the 1.5 and 1.75 inch optional tracks for the XTX? I found the stock track not hooking up great in the powder. I have had a Warrior and an Attack both with 136″ rip saws but the 144″ with the tip up doesn’t seem to work any better in the powder.

Hey NB, I will have to ask around as I have not had the opportunity to try either of these tracks myslef. I can say that the Ripsaw is a trail track and doesn’t perform as well as some other designs in the pow, especially considering it is a 1.25 lug, I’ll ask Blaicher… stay tuned thx cr

I tried to find “Eagle Liver” on the map, but came up empty handed. It seems that Yuji did pretty good there though.
And I notice they are using the old style aluminum rear idler wheels instead of the fancy billet aluminum ones the US race teams run, and I wonder if there is any reason for that?

Hey Ben, I think you’ll find Eagle Liver just south of Eagle Spleen The billet wheels are strictly for bling and perhaps a couple of grams… cheers cr

Chris, Probably a silly question. Passion Yamaha looks like a cool sight.Can it be viewed in english. I have scoured the site itself with no succes. Thank you in advance for your response. At your leisure of course.

Unfortunately, PassionYamaha is not translated, it presents a big problem for forum webmasters as many things can be lost in translation especially conversational writing (blogs forums etc) heck I hardly understand some of the English stuff I read on TY I have had requests to translate this blog but it is just to big an undertaking… you’d think in this day and age there would be a software program that could do a good job and we could all communicate!! In the meantime, thanks to some of the bi-lingual guys like Coyote, some things do get translated and shared… cheers cr

Great post chris,i wish that G-force sled could break the speed record on snow.Hope yamaha is back next season for snocross with better results.Gave my warrior the royal treatment today for its sleep(grease,wash,shine)along with a tea-spoon of 5w30 down each lung,by the way,why did yamaha stop sell the cold weather 5w30 and replace it with the regular 5w30?Until then i have moto-gp to cheer on yamaha for the summer and maybe put a 1-inch lug track on my fathers 96et410 which hauled alot of firewood this past winter while using less than a quart of yamalube for over 700kms of hard hauling.Who needs e-tec.
