Full Review of the 2019 Yamaha Sidewinder X-TX LE 141 

Yamaha’s fastest race sleds have been pretty reliable starting around 1992 with the vmax 4. I have heard of people getting over 10k miles on those sleds without a rebuild. Even the SRX 700 was a pretty reliable sled.

I spring checked the 2012 cat turbo based on your review of that sled, country cat got the bugs worked out and now I have 10,000 miles on it, bullet proof 180 hp, 87 octane gas, 16 mpg, I’m an aggressive rider, but I’m big, 6 foot 3 and 225 lbs so I can handle the extra weight of a 4 stroke..easy. But I’m loving this thing, bullet proof, fast, comfortable, have over 3000 miles on last belt, still on the original spark plugs, change oil every other year, heck I’m still on the original battery!!! Never adjusted the valves.. keep the nuts and bolts tight, maintain the skid,gas and go and hang on!! These pro cross 4 stroke cats are real!! With 2 buck gas and the sled long payed for, I’m practically riding for free!!! Have more flex money for other toys

Glad to see a yamaha review in the off-trail segment. That being said all this told me is that I want a 900t backcountry even more than I did before.

Good review mark about time someone calls it how it really is!! The most powerful fastest production sled on the planet!! No trolls allowed.

Excellent review. Thank you Mark. I always enjpy your honest presentation of products.

Love this sled... shock package, think it as the perfect track lug for crossover, its pretty .... and has the extra ponies to prevent you from getting stuck ... :)

I don't understand why they don't come with a windshield these days. All dealers are so greedy. Oh you want a windshield with that. Well no shit. Well you got to pay extra.

Ever consider doing a road trax? Testing out Street bikes and street legal 3 wheelers, if you do it consider hiring me please :p thanks for the videos fellas, love the family reviews.

Out of curiosity (I've been out of snowmobiling for a lot of years), when he says "more powerful than any modern sled" is he saying that there were classic sleds that measured up to this? I know that by virtually all metrics, a modern sled is a much better ride than a pre-Rev platform sled. But when it comes to lakerunners, how do these compare to old 2-stroke mach 1's, Indys, thundercats, or vmax 4's?

Note,,,roll,grab bar on handelbar...=...no windsheild,,,,so, the first time you accedently roll your new sled lightly over,you'll understand why!....and have to buy a new one..!..plus, an underlying reason for that loop grab is to protect the controls and throttle somewhat!!!!!hense,crossover!!!!!!thanks,,see you on Kevlar lake.😐

Hmmm .Ya it's nice .

A review off a 2019 sled ? what planet are you :) the 2020 yamaha is out ...

key don't get it stuck, need a snow cat to pull it out

Nice sled but heavy as a school bus.

850 SkiDoo and the 850 Patriot are both quicker than the Yammacat
