TEST RIDE: 2015 Yamaha SR Viper M-TX 162 LE

And this guy said it’s an SE how do they not edit this crap 💩 LE has the piggy back shocks bud...

1. Engine position in the chasie is a joke, it is two inch, or five centimeter to high????? WHYYYYYYYYYY!!! Put the engine low you stupid ignorant no good engineers whanabees!
2. Never ever let a stupid american hire a idiot from China to do the engine control module, never ever do something extreamly pervertedly stupid like that"!!!!
3. Put a correctly dimensioned spring in the front skid shock!!!!
4. Bushings in the snowmobiles important sviveling parts SHALLLL all be lubricated and correctly dimensioned.
5. Make sure that the clutches have rollers where ever needed.
6. Make sure that the primary clutch ingage smoothly, REEL smoothly!!! GRRRRR

Its like a bunch of monkeys decided a lot during the planing and execution of this sled project.

I noted that they have fixed some things in the SIDEFaker bullshit, but the most important part of where the motor should be is still "Fed up".

Where did you ride at over 12,000 ft?

It's all about reliability to me, yamaha has always had a great engine, these new ones aren't heavy like most say, keep it serviced and you won't have issues at all with this, try one before you knock it

Good review video. I work with this program as well and didn't get what all it could do until I watched your review video. Keep up the great work and thanks for the straightforward assessment.
Cheers!

This is not the motor I want under my sled's hood. I'll take a 2008 Polaris FST Switchback over the canned Yam any day. 750cc turbocharged, from the factory.. fuck yeah. 

wow lots of bashing going on here from all the little ditch bangers we all know who is the real king of the hill is??? over 50 major up grades done b4 Yamaha put there motors in the viper ,,  if the price point is to big for you guys I guess all you can do is bash and bitch here cya on the trail in 2015 im riding 2015 viper turbo PS don't 4get your tow rope lol

paint it what ever colour you want review it how you like the fact is its still a heavy tank and will always be a heavy  tank  4 strokes belong in utility and touring sleds only

yamacat SUCKS

Finally someone who doesnt complain about the yamaha.


Thanks !

i must say every brand new sled may have there bugs but i bought a 2014 viper xtx se which i snow checked and it is hands down the best 4 stroke sled available on the market, yes where as 2 strokes are lighter they aren't as reliable hence my reason for my switch. there is nothing i would do to change this sled and as far as cold starting goes mine was starting fine in -30 conditions, don't knock this fine piece of engineering until you've tried one for yourself 

It has a good look but there is still that weight and it sure does weigh less then a Nytro I know because my uncle owns a place that sell`s Polaris and Yamaha sled the Polaris still is better but I just test rode a viper and it is unbelievable how much lighter it really is but when you compare it to the new 2015 pro rmk which I snowchecked one just one week ago the 155 and 163 terrain dominator  it is just so much easier to throw around but it sucks because I had planes on going to the mountain and to many avalanches to go but hopefully I will be able to go next year with my two new pro`s and barrow a 2015 Yamaha viper.

Where is this?

Its like the big elephant in the room. Nobody wants to admit this isn't a Yamaha. Its a Arctic Cat with a Yamaha motor. Rather then ignoring this fact you gloss over it pretending this is a new Yamaha design, FAIL

The only way you'd get me on a 4 stroke is with a big ass turbo..
