Check out Totally Yamaha, those boys can tell ya.

 

Last I checked no one rides a sled dry... Why not get the wet weights?

 

my 2014 viper statement of origin said shipping weight 516.

 

They are 70 to 100lbs heavier than a comparable Doo ride ready. Owned them.

 

70-100??? Do XTX Vipers weight vary sled to sled? Odd.:dunno:

 

He is guessing

 

Not guessing. I owned them and there are many weight comparisons done, not all are true weights. They are 70 to 100 lbs heavier.

 

I agree, buddy has a viper me a 1200. found out the hard way when we both buried them breaking a trail.

 

Yamaha makes a good sled, just know they are heavy. That's why the four stroke stigma (heavy compared to 2 stroke), this is not true when comparing a Ski Doo four stroke to a 2 stroke, they can be very similar in weight and some cases the same! They need to be weighted trail ready with fluids for accurate weights, not dry weight. Not bashing just facts.

 

I find it hard to believe in the new yamacat chassis that the yamaha or cat 7000 is going to be that much heavier ? 70-100 lbs ? seriously ? so a dry weight of a new viper or cat is close to 600lbs ?

 

Who cares about dry weight, what matters is ride ready weight!

 

Found a post on TY that showed a guy weighing an XTX-SE full of fluids. The weight shows 597.1 less 2.3 for the straps used. That makes the wet weight 594.8.

For comparison he also weighed a few others. The Pro RMK 163 was 511.7 which is a very light mountain sled. You also have to take into consideration that the Vipers do not have tunnel coolers so they carry very little snow.

 

Just picked up an issue of am-snow. The wet weight of a 2017 sidewinder turbo is 671 lbs!!! 137" track...

 

Who cares, the Sidewinder is balls out the fastest production sled ever to hit the snow.

 

WOW! What an attitude. Sorry some one pissed in your cheerios!
