I bought a 2017 limited 129” this year. I’m coming off of a 2005 Yamaha Warrior and it is night and day. I have put on 1000km so far and I am really loving the sled. The oil filling is kind of weird but, really isn’t that big of a deal and has been addressed on the 2018’s. This is my first 2 stroke and I settled on the 600 cat because of the good reputation of the engine. I’m impressed so far. Only gripes are that it is a bit chilly when it’s really cold and your running on rail trails. I bought a bigger windshield and the side deflectors and it’s all good now. Also the headlight kind of sucks that you can’t adjust the high and low beams independently. But adjusting the high beam to an appropriate level should work fine for all the night riding I do anyway (its lighting the tree tops from factory). As long as it remains reliable and the motor lasts as long as they say, I have no problem with these minor issues.

Going all the way back to my 94 zr580 to all my zr600s up until my milenium edition they all pulled very hard when starting them. The batteryless efi helped in starting back then but I'm happy to see the 600 class machines still make a man of ya when pulling them over

i got a '18 sidewinder and for the handguards i got rox speed fx flex tec handguards with mounts for the procross/srv chassis with hayes brake system and they're awesome. went on easily with quite a bit of adjustment and keep my hands warm all the time. rode for 4 days in northern maine and it never got over 0 degrees (fahrenheit obviously) and they kept my hands warm and I think they look pretty good too

great vid as always, I'm a ski doo guy but enjoy your reviews on everything. The biggest turn off for me with Cats is the fit and finish, not that ski doos don't have some faults but Cat has always looked "cheaper" to me. I thought this alliance with Yamaha would have solved that. On a side note it sure looks funny to see a key on a sled, I haven't had to deal with that since my 99. Keep the vids comin, stay safe

Yamaha assembles their own sleds on the line just an FYI. There's 150 (actual number) different things Yamaha does besides the engines with the cat chassis. The new panels on the 18 cats/yamis are awesome and way better! I have a 17 6000rr and have it dialed in after 650 miles. If you take the coupling blocks out, the machine is a wheelie beast and a lot more fun to ride. I also ditched the 1.25 for a back country 1.75 and its night and day when the trails are not hard packed. I can stay with my friends 850 up till 65-70 and then he gone. But I am enjoying mine very much! I hope you do as well!

Earthretention good to know. That was kind of my plan with it keep going with the acceleration factor and make it a beast out of the hole. Good to know on the Yamaha stuff. I knew they had quite a few differences but I wasn't sure if it extended to the actual assembly of the sleds or not. Thanks a lot i appreciate it! It does make getting ready a bit of a pain and it can be hard to think of topics at times but you guys are all so awesome with the support it makes it easy to put forth the effort.

Awesome video again, as always! Sometimes I feel like why didn't I just buy a Cat 7000 instead, with probably better clutch setup and much better skiis :) Oh well, I like blue. Just wondering if you're allowed to go off trail over there? The trails are so perfect I would stay on them anyway haha. And do you have any mountains you visit for the view where the trails leads at or is it just flat land?
@Revrider5506 жыл бұрын
Tommie Berg nothin wrong with being a part of team blue Yamaha is an awesome brand for sure. People in general seem to go sidewinder over thundercat I've noticed so I wouldn't stress at all. Technically rising off trail is illegal in new york. There are areas you can sort of get away with breaking the rules and go off trail but in general not a ton of options.

For the price and performance there simply isn't a better sled out there, even a top end XRS with its KYB shocks will fall short of the capabilities of the fox shocks. The RR isn't for everyone but for what I do it hasn't failed me yet
@Revrider5506 жыл бұрын
It's a sweet little package for sure. I want to crank the rear suspension up and see how it handles the moguls this season. Right now it's set super soft in the rear but i haven't really pushed the sled super hard yet so for now the softer settings have been ideal. Curious to really see what it's made of though
@andrewcox74166 жыл бұрын
I run the torsion spring on full stiff and the coupling blocks on the least amount of coupling, I'm 205 pound geared up and I run the compression more towards the stiff side as well, it's harsher on the small bumps for sure, but on the real deep/chopped up trail I really haven't bottomed it out too excessively at all

Have you ever rode a 6000 r xc or can you compare the two cause I just got into the trail riding last year and bought my first sled a 2000 zr 600 efi and fell in love with this activity so now it’s time to get an upgrade on sleds and out of the zr 6000 rr or the 6000 r xc I’d like to get it to be as close to a race sled as I can
@Revrider5504 жыл бұрын
The r xc is the way to go if you want close to a race sled. More aggressive clutching, different gearing, slightly better shocks (depending on the year), race seat (again depending on the year). If I had the choice between the r xc and rr over again I'd more likely than not go r xc

Hi. How about a screen shot of a GPS track of the trails you ride for the vid? We're totally blown away by the quality of your trails. Every trail seems wide and smooth. Do you edit out the bad stuff or is it all really that good? We're in Ontario and we're always told our trails are the best but the stuff you're showing us is hella good.
@Revrider5506 жыл бұрын
mcZED38 thanks! I'll have to look into the Gps tracking not sure my camera has it but this is old forge new york. They have 24 hours grooming and we rode Sundays the last times so the trails were mint. On Friday night and Saturday they can get decently bumpy but I don't avoid them at all in editing really. The area isn't all that big so with 4 or 5 groomers running 24 hours a day they can keep up on the trails pretty well. Glad you like the content! Hoping to make it up that way sometime soon
