Considering buying a Nytro

[freddy7]

Im thinking about buying a 09 nytro. Any advice about the sled would be great. Im coming off a m7 and im curious how the two sleds are different and simular. Thanks

It wasn't too long ago and I would have considered a Yammi with forced induction. With the advances in 2 stroke turbos now I wouldn't buy a four stroke period. I think the M7 has better power and less wieght. I think it has the better chassis for the mountains. I really can not get used to the flat angle of the handlebar post on the Nytro, what is the steering like with a riser? The Nytro isn't the sled I would be trying to replace the M7 with. The XP and an M1000 would be on my list.

Thats a big change.............

Never owned a nytro, but rode a few for only a few minutes. Yeah, the boosted ones got big pull but they are still heavy. At least for my riding I need a sled that lives on its side and is light.

Off camber riding is all we do out west !

I went from a 146 xp to a nytro and love it. The nytro is heavy in the garage, but in the snow is very light and nimble.

Agreed but they want to trench pretty bad at slower speeds at least the 153 do

I run a OFT steering post relocator on my Nytro and it makes a big difference in getting the post and steering angle to a more natural feel. Their kit is super high quality and the mounting system is rock solid.

I personally think the 2 stroke engine is a dead end road for the OEM's. I'm way past the days of buying a new two stroke and then getting nervous around 3000 miles as to whether the motor was going to let go or burn down. I've been on a four stroke since late '05 and wouldn't go back to a new two stroke. That said, the lighter weight of a 2 stroke is nice. My 4 stroke sleds are more difficult to get unstuck than a 2 stroke, but I carry a shovel so its not that big of a deal. I'd rather spend an additional 5 minutes digging myself out once in a while than dealing with the burned down 2 stroke up on the mountain.

Lots of comments from people with zero...or very limited time on one. Nytros take a few weeks to really learn the chassis and set up is everything. I'm not sure I'll ever go back to a 2-stroke and I came off a 800 Rev mod. 4-strokes run perfect no matter the elevation or temps, they're unquestionably way more reliable, bigger powerband, ect. My Nytro has always kept up with 8's okay and with it being almost 90 lbs under stock this year it's going to rip.

Grow some muscle and manhandle the fat biotch

I totally agree. It isn't that hard to throw around a stock Yamaha and they make really good power as the powerband is super wide compared to a 2 stroke.

How'd you drop 90 lbs off your Nytro!
