Well, 3 more days on this sled in McCall's terrain and deep snow. I am quite impressed with where I was able to get and the situations I was able to get out of! (still stock) And I was giggling.. one of the guys riding a PRO was talking about his sore muscles, I felt pretty dang good! Is it more to muscle around, yes, but learn the sled and it is highly capable and surprisingly nimble. Tight tight trees will of course wear me out faster. Give me about 5' or so of wiggle room though and I can ride for hours.
Fuel consumption seems to be good now that I have something to compare it to. Pretty much riding full throttle full time and I used about 1.5 gallons less than the PROs I was with.
Are we talking about the same sled here?
I found the Viper to VERY rollable.
Oh it rolls just fine... I was referring to the oil issue.
In that case remove the vent line on top of the oil tank and plug it with your hand and crank. Four Stroke Solutions roll over valve has this feature built into it if you buy that it.
Thanks for the information! I have the roll over valve, hoping to get installed tonight! But if not, this trick is good ot know!
So does that mean if you are side hilling it will shut off due to the oil not getting to engine.
NO. Only if you end up tipped over or upside down.
The oil pump losing it's prime seems dumb to me. If that's the case, I feel Yamaha should have provided a stock Roll Over Kit.
I do agree that this should be part of the stock sled.
