Just thought I would check on here to see if anyone put threads up on their 08 Nitro's. I have heard only bad things about them and wanted to see if anyone has posted negative or positive comments.
One guy took his home and planned a 200mile ride for the next day...got on it and rode for 10 miles and told his buddy he was going home cause he couldn't ride it anymore...buddy jumped on it and 3 miles later gave it back and could believe he lasted 10 miles! Two other guys I know of have already made arrangments to trade thiers in.
Apparently they are terribly heavy in the front end and guys can't even control them. Note, these two guys are ex-snowcross racers.

What did yamaha do?!!
Nitro riders, I would like to hear your thoughts.

Many have said that they have alot of ski pressure in the front. I can't believe your buddy's wouldn't know to adjust the suspension a little bit being ex Sno-X racers.

I have heard almost nothing but good things on HCS and SnoWest besides the normal things......suspension setup being the main thing. Not everybody weighs the same amount. These sleds are setup for the average guy. If you buy a brand new sled and are going to trade it in without even tuning the suspension because it doesn't handle good I don't think you have any business buying a brand new sled in the first place.

Sorry, but stuff like this is what starts bad rumors.

Now I have heard that some guys here in MI have been putting turbos on them and just love it. I even heard RUMOR from a dealership that a few known guys here locally raced the new REV 800 with there Nitros...and beat the Rev's no problem. Now I didnt see it so no one ask me anything about it. Oh and both the Ski-Doo and Yammi were stock at the time. Shortstop20 is correct, you do need to set up the suspension for that rider. Any sled can be heavy in the front if you dont set that up first. Just my 2 cents.

My daddys cousins ex-brother in law strapped a rocket to his and it was faster than a diesel volkswagon.

Come on. If you want to find out how fast it is, buy one and find out for yourself. I have heard only good things about the nytro. I own an 08 mxz-x 800. I will tell you that it will run side by side to 85 with a mach-z 1000, at which point we both backed out it. The mach-z will trim it on the far end of the lake. But I like my sled. I bought it. I am happy with it. When I have the chance to run against the nytro I will. When that happens, no I won't come online and brag about racing it. I won't give you some BS story about how I beat it by ten sled lengths. Its enough for me and for the guy on the nytro to know just how fast they are.

Thats the point of racing. To find out for yourself. Don't trash talk a sled you've never ridden. Thats seventh grade locker room stuff. I agree with shortstop. Don't start rumors.
