Nytro MTX supercharged

Hi all. I've kinda decided a want a four-stroke for reliability. I recently found an 09 Yamaha Nytro mtx 162 with a Mpi stage 2 supercharger
upgraded to an inner cooler, larger fuel pump, extra large heat exchangers, and the pulleys for the bigger boost. Making it have about 220hp as opposed to 180.( installed by owner)

it has 4000 miles and 2000 on the SC. The guy said no major problems just some cosmetic issues.
It has a camoplast extreme 2.5 track (not the original)
He's asking $4k but said he would do $3.6k for it.
Would this be a reliable sled?
Any input would be extremely appreciated. Thanks.

Here are some pics of it.

The last two are the cosmetic damage. 1: he says the plastic melted from letting it sit and idle too long while it was stuck, 2: bumper got tweaked from wheelies.Screenshot_20230125-140443_Chrome.jpgScreenshot_20230125-140448_Chrome.jpgreceived_2559409420885102.jpegreceived_577755840912183.jpeg
 
Does anyone have some input? I would greatly appreciate it.
SOOOOOO many good memories from my MPI Supercharged 2009 Nytro.
I posted MANY MANY Articles on that sled here on SnoWest back in the day.!
Spend a couple minutes doing some searches in the YAMAHA Forums
 
OK thank you. Was it reliable? That's what I would really like to know. Also does this specific one seem like an OK deal?

OH HELL YES IT WAS RELIABLE
Its a freaking YAMAHA
They last forever!

The only reason I sold my Yamahas is that I was getting into my mid 50s and just didn't have the strength left at the end of the day to toss them around. Yammis are HEAVY and they WILL wear you out of the course of a day of mountain riding. And when they get stuck, well, its take a weee little bit more effort to extract a Trenched Yammi than it does a Gen4 Doo.

As for the Supercharger.
You want to ask @madmax for exactly what to look for to determine current wear and tear.
He is THE guy to go to.
 
Unfortunately I wasn't able to contact @madmax.

But one more question how many miles did you put on it with the SC? and did you have any problems?

Thankyou. I knew yammis are reliable I was asking more about the supercharger.
So I can only speak for MINE.
In my case I had VERY LITTLE troubles with the unit and thought it was VASTLY BETTER than any turbo on the market.
Had two Turbo Yammis and one Supercharged.
Would take the super charged Nytro every day over the others.
I am pretty sure I documented the issues I had with the supercharger in some of my older posts.
Again, just spend some time searching through them for a TON of information from "back in the day" a decade ago.
 
Unfortunately I wasn't able to contact @madmax.
He is active on the forum and should reply to a PRIVATE MESSAGE.
You will need to upgrade your free user account to a regular PREMIUM account to access those tools
Would be well worth your investment to do so.
 
OK thank you. I did do a search in the nytro section but didn't find anything on the supercharger. I even used the filter with you name.
