So your jumping ship because your comparing a ski doo thats like 10 years newer than the exiter.............. Would seem silly to get a VIP to sell sled here and leave site. Might have better luck with craigslist or a ski doo site. Good luck!

yamaha exciter still turns heads on the trail, sharp looking machine. I guess the etec turns heads as well ,when you look back and see it on fire or broke down!!!

well that didn't take to long did it...wow I still ride a 01 sxr600 with nearly 16,000 km's and never ever blew the motor or anything on it and I ride it wot all the time and jump everything in sight.If a newer Doo can't take a belt exploding and destroying its motor..they are crap machines...LOL87YAMAHA-570 said:It looks like im keepin the exciter The Ski-dont blew i took it for a rip before i put it away the belt blew and aperently the crank twisted

I HOPE he was joking as not even a hint of snow. Dont get me wrong. I LOVE my 98,2x99's 00 SRX and 00 & 01 SXR but givin the option of hoping on a 09 doo or a 87 yami I would pick the 09.....nevermind buying either as I wouldnt want to own either.

the doo was ready to blow it had 5000 on that motor and for a etec thats alot because they run very lean time for a rebuild and a can

even polaris and arctic cat can get more mileage than that. Whats the point of better fuel and oil economy if you have to rebuild the damn engine every 5000-6000mi?

you do get better milage 22mpg and sips oil but thats the problem it runs to lean ... you can only lean it out so much i talk to a dealer and they said im lucky to have got 5000 plus i have a full race pipe and no programer

not sure if my meaning of "mileage" is different then yours but i just ment the amount of miles on the sled before the engine goes. im sure the etec gets better mpg

I like as much oil going through mine as possible without fouling plugs.

Hahahaha, Yamaha Riders are smarter riders, some can even predict the future.
Ski-doo = Rebuilt Grende
Real story happened last week.
Local Shop Owner asks me How I like My Apex?, I reply "I love it, No Damage aprox 40 days".
I asked Him How His XP was was? He repilied "I hate it" and he brings me behind the counter shows me 8 boxes of BRP cranks.

I demod a bunch of the 2013 XM and freeride, and the XM was at 4000km, and felt sluggish, totally ready for the rebuild. then I got on one with 2000km and it felt a bit better, bottom line Im not buying it Im sticking with my Apex.
Will any company be able to challange the engine reliability that Yamaha brings to the market? I dont think anytime soon.
I switched to 4-stroke because I would rather oil change than engine rebuild.
