Hi Everyone.
I was here last year when I picked up a beautiful 2001 SRX basically stock, unmoloested and very well cared for... Here is the link
http://www.totallyamaha.net/forums/showthread.php?t=73268
I ended up selling the sled before I even rode it, some things came up as well as the winter is the busy time at my previous job.
Now I am in a much different position, made some new friends who all sled all winter so I have been lurking throughmy local CL to see if I can take advantage of the "summer prices" and pick up another SRX or maybe even a Viper.
I like the idea of the SRX's being lake rockets as well as I LOVE the look of them, they just scream "Muscle sled"
but wouldn't mind something a bit more comfy.
What are the primary differences between the Vipers and SRX's. I see that the Vipers don't have the triple exhaust so I would thnk that would take a bit out of it speed wise.
There are quite a few of each on my local CL. If I were to get another SRX it would be a 2000 or 2001. When it comes to Vipers are there some years better than others?
If this question has already been answered a link would be cool, and again, nice to chat with everyone again

From what I understand the Viper chassis are all the same throughout the years but in 04 the seat was changed to a more comfy one plus I believe the shock valving was tuned more to the trail comfort side as well.If your looking at a Viper take a good look at the suspension shocks because only the later years came with aluminum rebuildable ones unless I'm mistaken,otherwise they will be steel throw away ones.

I thought it was the S model that had the throw aways in the rear. pretty sure my 02 had the rebuild-able shocks

the 02 vipers had rebuildable shocks, the valving was just stiffer than what they went to in 03 and 04. The mtn vipers came with the non-rebuildable shocks
There ya go,I don't own a Viper so I wasn't 100% sure on the shocks.I figured someone that knew would chime in.
