Chris Brown switches to Polaris

I saw earlier that Brandy Floyd sp? Will be on Yamaha this year.
But I suppose it is still too heavy for you guys right?

Also Yamaha may have been the only company who gave chris an offer following his accident.

CB will likely be on and testing the new platform for '16 RMK...Yamaha can't seem to do anything right anymore. The spring power surge was nice for the MTX, but a big miss for the flatlands by not offering boost.

They might be a little bit late to the game, but they are offering boost for ALL of the vipers.



Yamaha Motor Canada Announces MPI Turbo Kits Now Available For SRViper Trail Series.

Reduced pricing on kits available with purchase of a Viper until December 31st.

September 15th, 2014 (Toronto, ON) – Yamaha Motor Canada is proud to release the Mountain Performance Incorporated (MPI) Trail Turbo Accessory Kit for Yamaha SRViper models. Snowmobilers who purchase a 2014 or 2015 Viper Trail or Crossover snowmobile before December 31 will qualify for reduced pricing of $3,200, down from an MSRP of $4,195, as part of their purchase - if they select the Turbo option. Complete information on this promotion and all other Yamaha snowmobile sales programs can be found at yamaha-motor.ca. The standard Yamaha warranty still applies to the entire snowmobile, with the exception of the MPI kit parts. Kit parts are warranted by MPI for 12 months. Kit must be installed by an authorized Yamaha dealer to be eligible for a warranty claim.*

Mountain Performance has developed a proven track record for “boosted” Yamaha performance with its turbo and supercharger applications. Earlier this year, Yamaha announced the introduction of an MPI accessory turbo kit for the all-new SRViper M-TX. During Yamaha’s Spring Power Surge, Yamaha customers could purchase the MPI kit in conjunction with a new M-TX at a considerable savings. The dealer-installed kit delivers an additional 45-horsepower on pump gas while still retaining Yamaha’s legendary reputation for reliability.


The new MPI Trail Turbo accessory kit for 2014 and 2015 SRViper R-TX, L-TX, X-TX and S-TX models touts many of the same features of the Mountain Kit including the same 45-horsepower boost, while differing in its use of an electronically controlled waste gate. The sea-level turbo kit was developed specifically for applications below 6,000-feet. Both the Trail and Mountain kits feature a solid mounting system and a new muffler that is quieter than previous designs; both systems also meet EPA standards.
“Ever since we introduced the MPI Mountain Turbo Kit for the new M-TX this spring, everyone has been asking for a sea-level version,” said Yamaha US Product Manager Rob Powers. “The guys at MPI have been working all summer on this new kit…we didn’t want to compromise power or reliability, which was a real challenge, but we got there and riders are going to be blown away by the power and ride-ability of this system.”
The new MPI Trail Turbo Kit will be available at Yamaha dealerships in late fall.


MPI Trail Turbo Kit – Part Number: SMA-8JP17-00-TB – MSRP: $4,195

*While installation of this kit will not “void” your snowmobile’s warranty, specific failures determined by Yamaha to have resulted from installation of kit components or other modifications may not be covered by the Yamaha limited warranty or extended service coverage.

As for any professional rider that jumps brands.

My only concern with the new poo would be them using a lighter crank. Time will tell if it holds up
