Hey guys,
Does anyone else have a 600 V-max twin? My dad has one, and it is very nice. I however, drive a 1978 Yamaha Exciter 440, and want to upgrade to a faster, more comfortable sled. The V-max is very comfortable, but seems to have some serious traction and handling problems...It never hooks up good on the trail, and sinks down in the powder. I want a fun, fast ride, and wanted to turn this V-max XTC into my sled. Does anyone have any suggestions for a nice track to help it perform better, or possibly any ideas on a better Yamaha I could invest in? Thanks...

P.S. Thanks 03viperguy!
 

Put an 1.25x 121 track on it, Some plastic skis, gear down, thin the head gasket. That will change the sled considerably.
 
there a nice sled i love mine, just put on a more agressive track.

this is my '98XTC;

check the primary clutch for loose rollers. I'm replacing mine at 3500 miles. I'm told the 600 twins are a little hard on clutches when compared to smaller twins or bigger tripples.
