On snowmobilerTV on foxnorth they said they were gonna do a report this coming weekend on Yamaha's new sled. Its usually on about noonish on saturday.

With CAD programs like Solidworks and such, you can easily slice parts away and add material where you want to end up with the desired result. It is more of a coincidence that the yzf250 and the phazer share bore and stroke sizes. But I guess in the end you will believe what you want, so that's fine.
ExpertXViper said:Holic now you got the KNOWITALLS going again. Dont bother wasting your time explaining yourself, its a lost cause esp. with the tool thats posted above this. I agree with you 100% Holic that 2 strokes arent going any where for a long while esp. in sleds, dirt bikes, lawn equip., generators, etc. But theres always someone out there thats going to disagree and more and more I see it being Bakeposer cause he knows everything about everything.

sxviper32 said:expertx and crewchief are right. the phazer is based off the r1 motor (similar to apex) and not the 250 motor. some of the same dimensions as the 250, but that was more of a marketing ploy with the phazer being the "ditch banger" like a 250 handles the bumps. everyone seems to think that you can take the two cylinders and slap them together and walla... easier said than done. theres a bit more math and engineering behind it. .
horkn said:to be honest, there are a lot of forums with a whole hell of a lot more traffic. 500 posts in 4 months is junior status there......
I'm sure they will, but what I'm wondering is what will happen to the rest of the lineup? All they are really saying is the "new sled" and nothing about any refinements across the board yet. Could be just to get the buzz going!YooperMike said:I see on the Yamaha Motors website they have an announcement for the new 2009 sled. You guys think they will post a bunch of pics/info along with it? I sure hope so!
horkn said:Like you said, its not quite that simple... I think we need to get out the micrometer to really solve this one....
it is more than a coincidence that the yzf and the phazer share bore and stroke.
ExpertXViper said:LMAO...... Yea but when you post 500 times in 4 months and provide members with little HELP or USEFUL INFO which I hardly find you doing. 500 posts in 4 months is alot "HERE". But Im all done racking up posts here cause all this is doing is taking up space that could be used for something useful.
