Once you start the YBTT program, remember I’ll probably be riding in 3 weeks so if you need something tested for a mid season relaese…

Chris I’ve got a good one for you. How many different keys are their for Yamaha sleds? My 2006 Attak and my wife’s 2009 Phazer use the identical key. I’ve never had this happen before in all my years of Yamahaing. My wife says that the sleds must have been meant to be together….

Interesting, don’t know 4 sure but one thing I have done successfully … I keep a box full of old keys collected over the years from pre-pros , spares etc. and when I go to a marketing unit with no key in it and no one who knows, I break out my stash and start trying, more often than not I’ll find one that works, perhaps a bit sticky but… I also learned a good trick where the lock tumbler assembly can be removed and with a collection of plates and / or a file and some patience can be re calibrated to different keys but I won’t go there. If you ever loose your key your dealer can order one to be cut here at Yamaha given the serial number taken from the lock assembly… cheers cr

I couldn,t agree with you more about the shock rebuild,$50CDN per shock is alot cheaper than paying $250CDN for new shocks(Glad my YAMAHA has SOQI instead of the throw-away shocks on my last sleds which were a cat and poo).Makes a HUGE difference when you ride your sled after a shock rebuild.By the way will YAMAHA only run one sled in PRO-OPEN SNO-CROSS this season or have two pilots flying the high-performance Nytro?

Thanks LS, I’ll have to check in with Andre over at OTSFF to see what his latest plans are for the team, it is now a ‘privateer’ effort managed by one of the most professional teams in the sport. cheers cr
